Default First CFL closet/box grow (super dank bagseed)
Ok so i am starting to plan my next grow i don't have too much to show you now but i am looking for input. my plan is to do 3-5 plants in this pvc box type thing in my closet with CFL's. and i have no intention on putting a lot of money into this. i did one grow before that i must say was not successful but it was mostly a lighting issue that i will solve this time around. i currently have....

2x30w clf
2x23w cfl
pvc box thingy
a mini in flower (plan to re-vegg)
a sprout maybe 1 foot tall (maybe this could be lst'ed) {both of which at a friends house}

i want to add 2-4 more lights looking for 40w (whatever is equal to 150w)

few questions to start do you think this would be enough light? how should the light be set up i know they say put cfls close but i have seen setups with home made hoods with cfls with good results. also i have read of grows with nothing but water or light nutes added to the soil with good results would this be a bad idea. as i said i am looking to spend little cash and with needing more lights....

i would love any input and i am looking to hear what you guys think i should do with this box i originally thought just to throw a sheet over it but should i like maybe cut up boxes and close it in? again low on cash. thanks for any input and as soon as i can get the little things taken care of i will pick up my babies (both female BTW) and get more pics. i have included two of my box to show size and hope someone can help me decide what to do with it.

wow that was a long post sorry.

hahah one more thing i was thinking i will need small plants and i want a yield worth this risk and was thinking of trying a few techniques at once maybe an lst, fimm, and multiple top. you know like three diff plants all done diff ways. is this too much you think i could pull this off? thanks so much rollitup

Anything white and solid would be better than a sheet; porous surfaces won't reflect the light and you don't have any to spare. That's a lot of ask of a few little lights. Growing inside is not for the faint of wallet, LOL.

you don't think the eight CFL's would pull it off. is it too many plants or just not enough light. i have seen grows with only two 150 equal cfl's. but that is why i am here. i just feel 8 would do it because my last had 4 but it was too late. but even that plant responded well.

It can be done; I started out with a bank of about 20 26w bulbs and then bought some 60w multi spectrums that I still use for clones. It's just that the yield won't be as great as with sunlight or an HPS system. The Home Depot blubs just don't give the right wavelength of light for a really good finish.

but with 4 plants even an ok finish will give me an overall yield of over an oz i would assume? and if i only put in a little and get more then next time i put in more and so on.

Yeah you should get more than an ounce off 4 plants. We might both get a surprise; it could be quite a bit more, especially if you can give them some sunlight from time to time.

oi good idea will try to give a lil sun every now and again.


does this grow sound ambitious to do low on cash and with limited resources and only the slight bit of knowledge i have?

ok so i had quite a few setbacks money and time wise but i am mostly set up. i am including 2 pics just so you can kinda see it. i will be adding one more light in there. those are all 100w equivalent CFL's for the exception that i have 2 that are 125w equivalent.


what i am looking for is a little feedback about how i should go about this i was originally thinking of LST, FIMM, and TOP. but i am new to this. and the other plants i had set up to come over had an accident.

i do however have an IMPORTANT question.... how do i PH my water. i went to wal-mart and couldn't find anything i found a kit that would tell me the PH but no help to control it? please any help here would be great. and also is there any special type of soil that i can get from wal-mart that would be good for this last time i got miracle grow and they said that was bad. i was thinking of just getting the super cheap stuff. any info is greatly appreciated. PH though is a big problem for me and i am going to the store in like 30 min maybe someone can help by then. thanks and sorry for it being so long.
