Bagseed. First grow attempt
Ok so here it goes. This is my first attempt at growing and basically just a learning grow.
So far its a pretty ghetto set up in my house and I may have to move it into my dorm eventually. I have an overhead lamp holding 3 cfl lights and a fan set up on the wall blowing the lights and plant. Around the pot I have this thick paper my mom had in the basement, white on the inside for reflection of the lights.
I first germinated my seeds in a wet paper towel in a cup in the closet for 2 or 3 days till they had a nice 1/4" root on them and planted 3 seeds in pots. I think I stunted 2 of the plants growth accidentally so only 1 remains, which is fine since I have a very limited space to work with.
So here's the set up first off
By the way. Im growing in miracle grow potting soil. And I know, miracle grow basically sucks but it's all I have to work with right now.
I had a slight problem at the beginning with the tips of the leaves yellowing but that was due to a nute burn from the miracle grow, and thank you for those that helped with it
This is after a few days

Ok. So then after comparing and all. I realized my baby wasn't growing well and I think it's due to my low watt CFL's I had in. So a few hours ago I went out and bought 2 clamp reflector light cases and a pack of 23watt 27k cfl and a pack of 23watt 65k cfl. So we'll see how this baby grows after I plus all these in. Also, I may be moving my set up to a little storage area in my attic but Im thinking of a simple yet effective set up and I also need to check the temperatures in there.
This is her this morning. Before I bought the new cfl's
good luck with the grow bro
use a bluer light spectrum for you lights..go with a 6500k..that will help..plus you don't need that much light right now in the seedling stage...the miracle grow soil at such a young age is going to stress them and could stunt them...
you never know what's going to come out of there

But as for the lights. I bought the 27k cfl's to use for flowering later on. I was thinking setting up 2 65k and 1 27k? Sound good? or just all 3 65k?
Alright. Got the new cfl's set up and I decided to change the grow area and set one up in this cupboard, tv shelf thing I have in my room. This set up is more for efficiency than stealth but it will definitely help there too. Took a few hours to clean out and set up but I'm quite proud of it. However I do have light leaking out the top and slightly on the side of the door and idk what to use to close the little gaps. Any ideas?
Also, criticism and tips and everything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Well here's the new set up
.......bump
ill give it a bump. check my shit out. type in kushberry in the search. im growin that with green crack. im here for the ride man
a little bit of a light leak won't hurt..unless you are trying to be stealth...but yeah the set up looks good for a one plant grow..good luck man
you never know what's going to come out of there
