Default My CFL Aquarium Stand Grow!
I started my very first grow using bag seed! Im sick and paying so much for weed and dealing with people I dont really want to, so I want to try and keep as much going in the cabinet as possible, so neither me or my girl have to every buy it again!

Im not sure EXACTLY how im going to do it yet, but I think after I get the hang of it with this grow I will just leave the lights on 12/12 always from seed, so at all times I can have 2X matured flowing plants and 2X small plants in there... that way I can harvest twice as much in one grow... know what I mean????


Anyways the cabinet inside is about 11 inches deep, 21 inches tall and 24 inches wide.
Right now I have 4X 26watt CFL in there.... two on each side right up on top... but tuesday Im going to add two more 26 watt bulbs... well maybe 4 depends how excited I get about it.


Anyways... seeds sprouted this morning so this is what I have so far..!

Keep in mind this is my first ever grow and I will need LOTS of help!!!!!!

My first question is... are the lights close enough? I dont want to kill off any plants but I also dont want them to stretch!
Also my plan is to start LST at about two weeks in because I want to see if I can fill the cabinet right up with plant to get as much yield as possible.

What do you guys think???

The setup looks good. You want to keep the lights as close as possible without burning, usually 2-3 inches with cfls. Just make sure its not too hot in there, are you monitoring temps? Have you got fans circulating air, also helps to build strong stems?

Yea, the temp is staying right around 75-80 degrees with all 4 lights on, so if I add 2-4 more it should be just about right. And there is a 80mm intake and an 80mm outtake fan... both are PC case fans.

Not bad, especially with bagseed. It happens. Your good. I would go with as many cfls as possible. I think you are on your way to growing. Warning: you may get addicted to growing and it WILL effect your life.
