Default First grow, purely home-made, CFL.
Well, to start off my name is craig, i am from california and am very new to this board. I was born in glasgow scottland and lived there until i was seven.
I am just now starting to grow after years of enjoying the fruits of other peoples labor.
And would like to follow my progress on this board, seeing as you guys know tons of helpful things and your a good crowd.

So far i am about 14 days total, 10 of which being sprouted to current growth. I just planted them, no germination, nothing of the sort.
I had 6 plants to gegin with but something terrible contaminated the original container and fried three of them.
They are a purple haze/nl5 mix. They were breeded by a freinds dad. Great strain, very heavy body and mind high,
and i might say this has got to be the most incredible appetite booster, otherwise, i got the muchies on a rediculous scale with this strain.

As far as the surviving seedlings from the contamination i have two growing outside, one is in awsome condtion, but the other i have had to clip the dead matter from the leaves,
it is definatley improving, the other plant is the more interesting one, its indoors, which for me feels more fun to do.
It had two 23watt CFL lights and a quite reflective enviroment, two pc fans, one in one out, and a folgers coffee container as the pot.
I dont have pictures of the outdoor ones currently but here is an example of my little OP.

Any help with getting it back to full health would be greatly apreciated, thanks in advance, happy toking my freinds

Grow cell, home made, i am quite a macgyver, cant help it. I like to save money haha.

Update: So i recently found some molassas sitting in my cupboard never opened, what a suprise, i mixed a couple of tablespoons with a gal of water, and added a few drops of h202. I proceeded to water all of my plants with it and wow, they perked up so fast i was amazed. The one in my closet has grown with in the last few hours, moreso than it was before... I recomend trying this mix to anyone, i was happy to find that i had some, i read somehwere on here that haze strains are a bit sensitive to nutes. And that molassas is perfect for it.

Heya Craig' I am currently doing my own indoor grow as well and I sort of just finished building my box today for my setup just a few more things to add but not much.. It's nothing major very similar to yours only I've got a slightly bigger box space for 3 small plants 4x45w cfl's and sun reflectors covering my box in the inside and a fan..I'm just waiting now for two seeds to sprout they germinated but haven't found the light yet and I've got a female in bud stage few more weeks to go she had a lot of stress during her life time bud the buds don't look to bad still schmokeable..I'm still looking around for a HID light so I can use it during the flowering stages to get some nice buds bud I'm not too worried about that now I think my plants will do fine this time round anyway and I will add as I go on.. So welcome to RIU I will follow your grow and see how it goes on.. C'ya

PS: I can't give much comment or advice though as I'm also sort of new with all this and I don't know much more than from what I'm learning on this site..

Thanks man i apreciate the welcome, good luck with your current cfl grow, sounds pretty solid to me, i am going to update the growing enviroment as much as i can over time, its getting better day by day... I really only need some blue spectrum CFLs to start better growth, im kind of stuck with the 2700k ones until i get around to it.

Its good to hear that these plants can take a little stress, cosidering this is my first grow im prepared for little mishaps.
