Random Freebies from Nirvana, one triploidy, under 230-320w of cfl
This is my first journal but not first grow, so please offer any questions or suggestions you want and I'll keep checking here. Here is a quick rundown of my setup.
-started 1 seed 2 weeks ago in solo cup using MG Organic potting mix ( yeah it sucks I know but it's worked for me). It sprouted quite oddly and turned out to be a triploid. It now has 4-5 sets of leaves grown ( I trimmed the bottom ones because they were a bit deformed)
-started 2 seeds in solo cups 4-5 days ago in the same potting mix.
Lights:
I have a mix of warm and soft white cfls I'll be using through the grow, ranging from 26-68 watts each (actual wattage) for a total of around 318 watts during flowering and 234 during vegging.

Lost some bottom leaves on the triploid, the other two are doing well. I'll be looking to transplant them come next watering.

Triploid has recovered from whatever was ailing it and I've topped all three plants, although one of the smaller ones is showing some brown spots on the leaves but the new growth looks good so we will see how that goes. I've also repotted the smaller two plants and I'm beginning LST on the triploid.

Continued LST on the triploid and the smaller indica with problems is looking a bit better with the new growth. I put a couple shots of the LST so y'all could see what I'm doing. I'm probably going to be adding in a few more lights in the next week, I'll let y'all know when that happens. Also have some wonder woman on the way and a second grow box I'll have to veg those whilst these are flowering.

Some more general info about my grow:
-3 gallon pots
-16/8 light cycle for veg
- I have a big fan blowing into my "box" to help keep the air circulated.
- Temps stay around 80-85 with the lights on and about 74-80 when they are off.
- I put box in quotes before because my area is just a shelving unit with some poster board for walls around it.
- my other grow box is a rubbermaid with a couple computer fans and cfls mounted on top. I can use it mainly for short vegging or cloning when the other side is flowering. It is a bit too cramped for the way i like to bush up my plants to do flowering.
-the soil I've used on the smaller two is earthgro potting soil.
Subbed. I was gonna do 1 plant in a cab in my room this winter with cfls. Still deciding. Plants looking good tho.
"Keep the squares out of your circle"
Cfls are pretty easy to work with ya just need a bunch of me and it takes a bit of tending to once they start growing fast because the lights are so close.
Yeah I read something like that in that CFL book Buds For Less by Garden Knowm
"Keep the squares out of your circle"
If you're looking for some easy/cheap fixtures Walmart has power strips for 5$ and plug-socket pieces for 99c if you wanna pop more lights on there home depot has splitters for like 2-3$ so you can have 6 or so bulbs on one power strip.
