Hey,
another first time grow here. You can't have enough of those

Basically it's a just-for-fun project. Planted 2 seeds about month ago and put them outside. The weather was perfect and they grew fast!
Then I build this quick box to start flowering the smaller one of the two. The other one is bigger and still on the roof (maybe pics when the sun is shining).

Put her on 12/12 today. Northern Lights. Enjoy and comment if you like!

For flowering I have one ~15Watt 2700K CFL. I also have a big 6500K so I might use the box for veg if this first try works out fine.

Here's a picture from the bigger plant I am currently protecting from heavy rainfall outside

Haha right on dude. You're outside plant is looking really healthy. Is your roof flat or do you have some sort of system rigged up to keep the plant in place?

If possible I would suggest getting a couple 42w 2700k and a y splitter for your cab, 15w is not too much for a plant to go on...I think it puts out around 900 lumens, whereas the sun puts out 10,000 lumens

10,000 lumens per square foot I believe. Anyway, those plants look sweet, especially the outside one man that one looks badass! Keep us updated!

Oh yeah, MORE LIGHTS!! 42W CFL's are the shit for flowering!
