All I need in order to setup in my attic is some 14/2 wire and wire nuts to allow me access to an electrical outlet. I have a grow box with dimensions: 2' wide, 1 'deep 3' tall. I picked up an outlet and outlet box. Also picked up a timer for my power strip. I have a heater for the nights that runs to a thermostat i can adjust from 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit. I will set that at 75 so if it gets colder than 75 in the dark phase it will kick on. My lights and fan are setup to a 12/12 timer for flowering now. plants are 41 days old.

Sound like a plan. Go advanced. Scroll to manage attachments. Then Manage them. VV

just powered up the attic and setup my grow box there with fan on during lighting and heater that kicks on if it goes below a certain temp. I set up the heater for 70 so it won't get below 70. what do you think of the work?

new Update on my grow for today

Picked up some nutes for the first time in the grow. It's been on flowering photoperiod since day 36. On day 60 I picked up my nutes from the store and applied them full recommended strength. The next day my plant definitely started flowering female. The white pistils are shooting up at every node. My only concern now is my 4 CFL's. They are all above the plant. What about the buds on the bottom? My plant is so bushy from pruning the light doesn't get through the leaves to the bottom so much anymore. And even if it did, it's too far away to do any good. Maybe I will get more and put the lights on the side of the plant to get into the bottom of the canopy. There are plenty of bud sites, but I'm concerned about light being a factor of bud size. When I start getting big buds, would it be more beneficial to keep the light closest to the buds, or the leaves? I don't know if the buds absorb light or if the leaves still do. If it's the leaves, I can throw two of the 4 bulbs I have now on the sides and the other two stay on top. any opinions? I'll post pictures soon so you can see my bud sites. It already smells of sweet skunk, when smelling the pistils directly. It's great and I'm glad it's female. I will probably keep flowering for about a month, right?

here's what my new setup with lights looks like: these photos are from day 51. I'm at 62 now, and just started budding. started flowering at 36 but didn't see any pistils until the day after I gave it nutes. Got the nutrients on day 60, day 61 it showed female that quickly. Highly recommend getting nutrients! I got the liquid that you add eyedropper drops into your watering solution and mix before watering. It was like 3 or 4 dollars, and well worth it. If you haven't gotten nutrients, do it now!
