hi all, am om my 2nd grow now and am going to use just 10 cfls 5 at 24watts and 5 at 20watts in a space 83cm high,71cm wide and 42cm deep. am in week 3 was thinking ov startin 12/12 within the next week.
i dont ph my water as most soils we use u dont need to ph your tap water my tap has a ph of 7.8 and runs out the bottom at 6.2to 6.4. just remember to let it stand for a couple of days, if you live in a hard water area when using un ph-ed water it is a must to add so epsom salt.
pls remember that all this comes from my own experiances!
am using 5ltr pots and these are there final pots, temps between 73f to 82f,humidty between 55%and 70% depending on when i water, i water every 4 to 5 day!
i use a 120mm pc fan for my outlet and a passive inlet, medium is bio-bizz allmix, nute bio-bizz range!
am not a exculsive cfl user i do hav a hps aswell but for this grow its just cfls!
all my plant were germed using paper towel method on the 19/12 and within 36 hour all were in there pots.
constructive critisism is very welcome and encourged!

I think your plants loook very neat !!! Hope all goes well & i'll be watching this thread

I also use Hps and usually do big grows... trying cfl's aswell because of energy & experience .......
