    Smile My First Grow - CFL grow!

    Alright guys, this is my first grow I'm using a box I made and 3 CFL's currently ( going to buy more for flowering), 2 x 30 watt and 1 x 11 watt. These both have higher
    brightness watts (not quite sure what that means, the 2 go to 117 watt and the smaller goes to 51 watt brightness.

    When I started I didn't really intent to grow, it just happened, so I haven't had the same conditions all the way through. the seeds are also just bag seeds so not expecting anything amazing. Germinated seeds went into pot on 23/02/2012.

    Using a mulitpurpose compost with nutrition vita boost slow release plant food ( the little coloured balls) and black strap molasses. Feeding 1 serving of molasses and 1 serving of nutrients per week, the rest of the time I just use water and carbonated water to mist the plants.

    This is also my first time on a forum, I have read the rules but apologies if I go wrong somewhere

    Please feel free to comment any help, advise etc is more than welcome

    Here are some recent pictures of the 2 plants, I will try to keep organised and update the thread often!

    Post 23 days!

    This is today, 23 days in I think they're looking good, just misted them so they may seem slightly droopy.
    Also I found some yellow spots on on leaf as you can see in the pic, its only the one though and it hasn't seemed to have spread I'd image I was over-watering at some stage. I've also been twisting/crimping seen in the 3rd pic, seems to be working, hopefully!

    it looks as if you are one of the smarter new growers. You read up on RIU first! I used those white kitchen trash bags as reflective too! They are an awsome addition to any ghetto grow! Good Luck!

    This was only temporary whilst we made a proper box, it did get slightly warm in there but easily manageable, some pictures of the new box below which there is a small extractor fan on the roof.
