Talking 1st cfl grow Journal
Hi everyone this is my first grow so any help along the way would be great. So i ordered these seeds from amsterdamseeds.com. i went with and indica strain because im limited to space. I had these hopefully 4 girls growing in fox farm ocean forest medium under two 2ft. floresents for about two and a half weeks i just now replaced those light with 6 23watt 2700k cfl's. I know there mostly for flowering but i have 4 40 watt 5000k on there way so the 23watts are temparary.Also running on 18/6 light cycle. i plan on transplanting them when my new bulbs come in.
so leave some feedback if you have any comments suggestions or ideas to better my grow my ears are open like i said it's my first grow so i want to make it a good one.

material list:
-box-3ft high/3ft wide/2.5ft deep
-2 dragon fans 115vac (exhaust)
-1 pc fan 120cfm (intake)
-wrap in mylar
-6 23watt 2700K cfl's
-4 40watt 5000K cfl's (being shipped as we speak)

looking good so far man. but you definately need more 6700k CFL's 5000 is good but you still get some wasted light in there. just go to a hardware store and pick up a bunch of 6700k bulbs. they are cheap if you go to ROna, home depot, home hardwares, lowes, walmart even. just to much red right now man. its good to have some red but not all. Is you fan oscilating? I love how small your set up in and how hidden it is. Check out my grow in my SIgnature. im about a week out of flowering

Peace

get an intake and an outtake fan! i went and bought a 2 dollar extension cord and a 25dollar bathroom fan i think its 50cfm. thats canadian dollars, way cheaper in the states. i cut off the end of hte extention cord and wired it to my fan and its PERFECT 26-27 degrees all day in there now
