Default 3rd grow, First time CFLs!(Pics)
This is my 3rd grow, first time using CFLs though. Let me know what you think? suggestions welcome.

Specs:
lights- As of now 1 150w Spiral CLF(plan on geting another one soon)

Soil - Miracle grow with moisture control

Nutes- Miracle grow plant feed 20-20-20 during veg( i used a small fraction of what the instructions said to use). for Flowering using a rose bloom 18-24-16(again using only a fraction of what is recommended)

Air/filtering - using 3 computer fans run off an old pc power supply unit. 2 bring air in one(the larger of the 3) pulls air out which leads into a filter to eliminate odor.

Seeds - random mix of bag seeds ive collected over the last year or so.

First couple of pics are at 2.5 weeks, and the last couple of pics are at 3.5 weeks (the box they are in now was made today, they started to out grow the storage tub and i couldnt raise the light any higher.) I will post more pics of the box once im done making it ( just threw something together.) i just started my 12/12 cycle. im not going for a huge yeild at the moment. just testing things out. As you can see space is kinda of cramped, but thats all i can allow at this point in time. its a stealth grow so unitl i get into a bigger space im limited. Also im very limited on my budget. Thus far this grow only cost me around $25, because i had to buy the light, light socket, and the pots. Everything else i either had or made.

let me know what you think, and ask if you want to know anything else.

hey and welcome to RIU
you got alot to go, for 4 plants, first off the color on that 65W CFL (it's not 150 or 300, it's 65) I use em too, home depot has a better one it's 68w with 400 more lumens.
You need to get 1 of those per plant, they won't get too big the way you got em so 4 of those would do well.
Yeah I know all about limited budget, that's why I dont have any furniture, I sold it for my grow lab LOL

Yea your right about the wattage. i got it at lowes and late one night i looked the actual wattage up on their site. so i dont know what i was looking at the time. i will be getting more soon hopefully,but thanks for the welcome! i know what its like to have to sell furniture and belongings. i once had to sell $2500 worth of guitar equipment just to make rent, and i didnt get anywhere close to that much for it.

Thanks ima try to. Yes that is a X-Mas box. Hoping Santa comes early this year. As for the transfer, the last 2 pics above are in the new box which is a little wider and about 3.5 - 4 ft tall. so no i don't think im gonna do any sort of LST. Once i pick out any males since i started flowering early I'll move them into bigger pots. they should have enough room in the box. During the veg stage i watered every 2-3 days with Nutes being added every other watering. Flowering is the same 2-3 days but fed Nutes every watering. Thus far i haven't had any Nute burn of any kind. All but one plant still has its Cotyledon leaves, and are a healthy green.

Hey man, yeah big ol toker(s) over here.
What stage you in?
You can flower after 3-4 weeks if you want, but I veg for atleast a month, 2 on my bigger stuff.
You start on gro nutes, bloom when it's that time.

Here are some new pics. finished the box except the other pair of CFLs that go on the other side of the big light. I had them but one of the sockets doesnt work, one CLF blew up in my hand and the other one just didnt work at all. so i have to make another trip to lowes...

mine are at 3.5 weeks today.
