Default 180 Watt CFL with a T8 Flour grow box
permalink
I had to bring an outdoor grow indoors, for privacy reasons, I'm running a 180 watt CFL with 5000k spectrum, it's 2 60 watt cfl per plant, and I have a T8 18'' 5000k. I'm going two Purple Urkle clones from the same club but they look totally different one is a month old, the other I bought today...

First Purple Erkle month old...

Second Purple Erkle...

Bag Seed from a club

DC PC case fan with exhaust flaps...

I would try to get one more light down there if possible. What is the temp in the box with the lights on. Why did you have to cut some of the leaves on one of the plants, and do you have the full spectrum ''k'' with the lights you are using?

It's in the low 80's with the lights are on, the leaves were getting burned from the lights two close so I cut them, it's 5000k...

If you dont have a ''cool'' spectrum cfl in there i would add one. If you dont have a ''warm'' cfl in there i would add one. When you buy them you can find cool and warm ones pretty much anywhere. If you have both, fantastic. You will notice a difference if you implement both of them into your grow in the case that you dont have both already.

I have one 6500k in there, but I will try to add another warm CFL in there too...

I changed my Natural Fluro with a Warm White

Update
PE #1 is looking good, looks like she's starting to flower, I might just get another clone and set this these girls on 12/12, can you force seeds to 12/12 or do they have to be a certain height?
Purple Erkle #1 (she looks nice and short for this CFL grow)




Purple Erkle #2 (I'm gonna have to bend this one)

i like all the pics. those babies look healthy. if the box is a little over 18'', and the pots look to be atleast 8'', and the cfl's have to take up atleast 3'', that only leaves the babies 9" to grow. how much can you yield from a 9'' plant?
