Good Set up???? (UPDATE & PICTURES)

[NLOverOntario]

The setup is fine you have just enough lumens for the plant to grow, the minimum seems to be about 3000 and I think your lights should put out just over that.
-If you can try and coer your cabinet with someting better or paint it white, If nothing else use the dull side of the tin foil because it actually diffuses light and works better.
-For a relfector a cheap alternative is buying those 1$ plug-in socket's and covering your lights with a pop can thats been cut in half. then plug the light into a power bar. This is better because most of the light comes out of the sides of the cfl.
-Look in the FAQ section to see how to turn a computer fan into a good grow box fan.
Other than that your grow looks good and don't transplant until you have a good root base. Peace

Okay, what do you guys think about this?
It has white walls all around.
Filled the soil to the top.
Keeping the lights 24 for a month then 18-6 after that with a timer.
The leaf was burn from the first soft whit light fell and stayed on it for a while I was asleep.
Watering twice a week and spraying with a spray bottle once a day to moisten the soil.

Thanks for the help guys who are actually helping.

Danky, do you have a thermometer in there? I would be interested to know what the temps are at soil level. Is there any air movement at all in there?

 

[DankyKush1]

The cabinet is cracked with the window open at all times and the door open. (in the bathroom) No thermometer but im getting one soon.

Awesome buddy. That looks alot better. Just watch that bulb that it doesn't burn her.

And yes it would be good to know what kind of temperature it is in that room. You can get thermometers at the Dollar Store.

Got the thermometer, its big but I think it will do fine.
It says 80.

Back to origin of the post. Setup looks good for now! You can improve it as it grows, with the burn it would be faster to start over if you have seed available.

When using CFL's the side of the bulb produces more light for the plants. So if you can get to a setup where you can put the side of the bulb toward the leaves that would be awesome for the plant.


If you can get mylar, that works much better than foil. Inside of Frito bags, survival blanket from camping section, etc...

Good Luck!!!

lolololololol

What happened to your 2nd bulb u had at the side? You should put that on too. I would also get a little fan to lightly move the plant to strengthen it. Like the other dude said...the light would also reflect better if u had the area lined with mylar (grow store) or an Emergency Blanket (wal-mart camping section).

80 degrees is fine...temps should be 75-78 so ur good. Just get some airflow going. Cheers man.

 

[ow.douglas]

Danky, I agree with some of the advise above. 80 is OK, that's white paint not foil...right? I would get a fan near the opening to box and move the air around. It looks like there is only a single plant in there, is it a Fem seed? If you nurse this along and it grows ball you are pretty screwed. Lets assume the best, it takes off for you and it is a girl, what's the plan? You will out grow that box pretty fast.

Well all the seeds I have gotten were from clinic buds, so i have no clue if there fem im hoping they are. I have a grown 3 plants fro the seeds, one was male, one was female then turned hermaphrodite, and this one, I have one more seed, but it also came from a bud and i don't know what kind of bud it was. These three were Day Dream. Is it possible that my hermaphrodite can go back to a female? As for the lights I can only fit one in the space, but ill switch the laps cause the other one keeps the CFL light on its side.

Better? Worse?
