this is my current grow. im growin 1 g13 plant and two dominaca cess plants from seeds i got on a trip. i only have 2x 2 ft. floro tubes at 20w each (one plant bulb one daylight) and 4 cfls ( 2x 42w 2700k and 2x 27w 6500k)



the plants recieve constant fresh air supply and a gust every now and then through the means of an access hatch to the attic. (was thinking of moving it into the attic when the weather getts warmer)


Temperatures stay around 80 when lights are on but im not sure how much its drops when the lights are out. its winter right now and im conserned that the cold air coming in is stunting the growth of my sprouts. (comtemplating on weather its worth it to keep the hatch open)

Here are some pics of the plants after 7 days.(seem kinda small not sure if its the temperature drop, light available, or lighting periods) i had them on 24/0 and recently changed to 20/4 havent really seen a big change in growth rate.

G13, 7 days after from germination

Domi #1, after 7 days from germination

Domi #2, after 6 days from germination

Will continue to document my progress with photos. This is only my second try at an indoor grow, bare with me.

Any questions, comments, or advice would be greatly appretiated not to mention needed. Reading is one thing but responses are another.

wow not even a comment... hook me up RIU nation pls

Those seedlings look about right. They look like they are in a big pot so it will take awhile for the tap root to get to the bottom of the pot and start spreading out. When this happens is when they explode in growth. Im not sure how cold it gets but unless it is getting below 60 it isnt anything to worry about. Thats plenty of light for veg. However when you flower I would definitly swap the two 23 watters out with 2-4 more 42 watt 3000k bulbs from walmart. Other then that everything looks good. What soil you using? What nutes will you use when they are older? They look healthy. Just be patient and dont be to over analytical. Im not sure if this is your first grow? I assume it is. Just dont freak out when something doesnt look 100% alright. Just remember weed is just that a WEED, like those annoying yellow dandylions or crabgrass or other pesky shit you get in a garden. It will grow on almost nothing. A lil TLC and ganja will grow beautifly for you.

Pce and good luck, ill be watching

I'd be a bit concerned about the position of you bulbs, as your plants will lean toward the light. Unless you rotate the pots, I would look for a more centered position

Thx sexologist. I decided to check the temp. last night and it was still 66 while -10 air was supplying the closet so the temps in the right range. As for the bulbs, ill definetly do as u suggested and cop two more 42w 3000k. Was wondering though, would it benifit the plant to supply 6500k lighting as well during flowering? or does MJ just use the 2700k- 3000k light? I read somewhere that the plants dont need nutes in the first six weeks so i have Scotts potting soil with nutes of:
0.07-0.01-0.03 (slow release). Also i have sourced a Schultz brand liquid nute at : 10-15-10. When should i start and should i even use this schultz brand? Lots of Q's I knwo and I hear what ur sayin bout patients too but its kinda like u wana do everythign u can before problems occur. thx again for lookin mad respect

o yea i turn the plants everyday when i check them mpdegn, they seem to favour the 27w @ 6500K. Natural daylight i guess

Back with an update on my low budget grow. I've added 2 computer fans to the closet to bring down temps in the heat of the day, circulate the air, and to help the stems grow. Havent started nutes, yet plannin to start in a week or so. Neways here are some pics>>

My two dominica plants seem to b growing quite quickly however the g13 starin looks to be strugling still. Has anyone grown this strain before? Also i have switched to 18/6 to see if it increases growth and will start nutes soon. The g13 is indica dominant while the dominica plants are sativa, could this be a reaon its not keeping up?

heres another update: ive recently started on nutes (10-15-10 schultz brand) plants seem to love it. Plants are begining to bush up with new growth an dive added some pop can reflectors to direct the light. we'll see how much this affects the abilty for the bulbs to cool and the overall temp of the room.

heres some pics:
