Default First Grow, Using CFL's
This is my second attempt at growing. the first time came 2 years ago and i used a Halogen bulb, rookie mistake. the 7plants i had all died aftera few weeks, they were stretching entirely to much

So now i started this grow with that halogen, and noticed the stalk was stretching alot. i decided i needed a brighter light, and went with the CFL's, did alot of research and found out the CFL's light spectrums etc..

After changing the CFL blub to a 100w equivalent 6700k bulb, i went out of town and bought 2 150w equivalent 42w actual bulbs both 6700k. the plants stalk is getting stronger now after i put the fan hitting the plant directly instead of just moving the air around it. i also have a humidifyer running 24/7 as i live in a very dry climate.

I am considering going and buying a 3rd lamp (maybe a clip on lamp, for a smaller 2700k cfl bulb while iam in Veg.

Currently i am getting close to the end of my second week of Veg. I will post some pictures shortly as i need to figure out how to post pictures on here.

Any help anyone can give, i would greatly appreciate. happy Growing!!

i have also recently read about using Dry ice as a source of CO2 a couple times a day, by putting it in water or even a cup. i have unlimited access to this stuff, anyone else have any more info on that?

Pizza boxes and tin foil. I can't see the duct tape, but I'm certain it's there somewhere. How resourceful you are.

Those nodes in pic #3 want to be roots. When you transplant out of the keg cup, bury those.

I would like to sit back and watch this one....

So i know i just started this Journal yesterday, but as i was eating yet another Pizza. i had an epiphany. how to save more light inside my Pizza box made grow box. Here are a couple pictures of what i did today.

*Added a new light today, at 19w CFL 2700k bulb to compliment the 2 42w CFL 6700k bulbs i already had.
*also bought a new Thermometer and hydrometer. i found out that my room is alittle humid from my humifyer i had been running 24/7.

*the area is alittle larger with alot more Shiney surfaces to reflect, and were attached with Clear shiny scotch tape!.


Does anyone know when the best time ot myst the plant is? is that the way i shoul dbe watering the soil too? the soil was really really dry so i gave it some water, but not alot

Looking forward to more comments.
PEACE!!
