Thanks budman for your advise, crowded plants, that may explain why my plants stopped growing when I started flowering them..

Peace Out!

First here are some pics of my old setup,

Please let me know what you think of my following plan,

Here is what I have so far, I plan on putting lots of CLF underneath that hood, also I'm going to try to modify it so that come flowering time I would be able to replace the CLF with a couple HPS.

Hopefully by then I will be able to afford a couple of 250 or 450 watts, I looked for some today to price them and couldn't find any, I'm thinking my area doesn't carry them, I might have to go to the city.

Here is the lighting I purchased today, I only bought the one pack because I'm not sure if their the right ones, if they are I'm going to go pick up another two or three packages of those and for now a couple of the 45 watts that i I seen, although its cheaper to by three 26 watts, however I'm limited sockets.

I paid $7.00 for the three 26 and one 45 costs damn near ten bucks, Ouch!

This is the soil I picked up, it's organic and was recommended, what are your opinions on this soil, good or not good enough?

This is the bucket I'm planning on using, after drilling holes on the bottom do you think they will do the trick? I have access to as many buckets as I need.

Here is an update on my plants/sprouts,

They are actually looking better, however I don't know if I'm under watering or over watering, so I'm watering some more often and other not as often, from the images bellow I'm hoping someone will be able to help me determine how often i should water.

I feel I should water when the top soil is dry like some in the images shown bellow, but I just don't know, so far I haven't noticed any difference, however I don't want to deprive them of fluids.

Note: that the damage you see to them, I'm thinking its due to improper lighting when first started and now that I'm getting more efficient lighting they seem to be doing a lot better.

Late Bloomers!

Any advise, suggestions comments are and will be appreciated.

hey humboldt. I am a new grower and following your steps. I ahve a closet very similar to your. I've got a 8 socketed bathroom vanity light fixture and 8 y splitters. I've also bought the same CFLs from walmart. My concern is that are these CFLs 6500k? or 2700k?
