Default CFL Mini Fridge Bagseed Micro Grow
Hello fellow Roll it upper's- this is my first ever grow, and almost all of my knowledge that i currently know on this hobby was attained on this website. With that said- Thanks for all the tips!

Okay now for the backround info that everyone likes to know with the grow:
Seeds: two bagseeds from some mids.
Lighting: 4 26 watt Cfls. (1 6500 kelvin 3 2700 kelvin)(note: it was visa versa for veg growth aka 3 6500 and 1 2700)
Grow area: mini fridge that is located in the hidden area in my crawl space.
Venting and Smell control: There is a 4.75" muffin fan that is located on the front door of the fridge that brings in fresh air. Sitting on top of the fridge is a 6" inline duct fan that is pulling hot air out of the fridge. Carbon filter is sitting on the floor next to the fridge, and is connected to the 6" inline duct fan with an insulated duct hose (note carbon filter is not yet hooked up b/c the plants are only 1 week into flowering at this point)
Soil: Pursell's Sta-Green Professional Seed Starter Potting Mix (NPK is .13-.04-.09)
Nutes: No nutes during veg growth because it only lasted for 14 days. Flowering nutes are Fox Farm Tiger Bloom and Indonesian Bat Guano.
Watering schedule: Plants get their water every other night @ midnight when the lights come on. Im giving them half dosage nutes and adding them every other watering. I plan on flushing them when their @ week 3 and at @ week six of flowering to avoid buildup in salts etc.

So- now that you have some background knowledge of what i'm working with, you guys and gals will be able to give more accurate advice. Please don't comment or post saying shit about how cfl's suck balls and soil is bull and negative things of that nature- i would rather everyone give constructive criticism or comments that are appropriate to this grow. And please don't hijack this thread- Thanks!

SO- i will get more pics of the Ventilation up soon. In the mean time here are some more pics of the plants at week 1 of flowering. One of the plants has tips that are bending downward toward the ground?? my temps are a little warm- mid 80's during peak of 12/12 but they get back down to 70 when their asleep. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, i don't know if it is something serious i should be extremely concerned with but if you have advice i would love to hear it.

SO here is a picture of the 6" inline duct fan that is on top of the fridge. I took the plastic top off of the fridge so that i could use a can of Foam Insulator that does a great job keeping the heat into the fridge (this leads be to believe it will help keep the smell in as well). The foam is the yellow weird looking stuff on the top of the fridge for anyone who doesn't follow what im saying. The T thing that is hooked up to the inline fan is only there for now, i have not decided if i will use my big carbon filter that was $100 or if i will use my own homemade carbon filter and attach one carbon filter to each side of the T thing. Also- there is an adaptor hooked up to the T thing that converts one of the ends from 6" to 4". Let me know what you think.

Flowering: Day 9 Here are pictures of the plants. They look like they are thriving on the tiger bloom. I have not given them any of the Indonesian Bat Guano yet, but i plan on doing that on day 14 of flowering. There are no signs of the sex yet but the plants look healthy. The lowest set of leaves on each plant are slowly turning yellow and proceeding to die off (very slowly) but i believe this is a result of the fact that i didn't check the pH for the first 2 weeks of watering (my bad). Turns out the pH was around 7.5 which is high so this may have contributed to those lowest leaves dying off. Right now i'm keeping the pH right around 6.5

Flowering: Day 10 Here are pictures of the plants at day 10 of flowering. I would like to announce the arrival of pre-flowers on the bigger of the two plants. I am still a noob so i am not 100% sure that they are indeed pre-flowers, but after doing much research im 90% sure that they are. Guess it's time to name her

Flowering: Day 11 Pictures from day 11 of flowering. The plants are getting the slightest hint of chronic smell to them. I think im still a week or two away from the carbon filter. I hope im right cause i still live with the rents haha. Anyways before going any further i wanna note that the taller of the two plants (officially named Alana) vegged for 14 days before flowering. The smaller of the two plants (which has not yet been named due to not knowing the sex) only vegged for 10 days before i flowered it. The reason the veg cycle was so short is because i was limited with height and i was afraid they would end up outgrowing the fridge. Right now it looks like i could have vegged them for a longer amount of time without having any height issues but i will save all of these notes and ideas for the next grow

Looks good and I'm not the most experienced but from what I've read on here I've got 2 suggestions. First of all I read that tin foil (i assume thats tin foil lining the fridge) is bad, it transfers heat randomly and there is hot spots that will burn the plant... also an idea for next time is you should try the LST technique... tying the plant down and around your folgers can so that its more spread out and more 'colas' without it growing very high.

Sorry if what I said isn't completely right I am pretty new, but I've been reading a lot and thats what I found. Good luck man! You've got a lot of nice pictures and frequent updates... subscribed for sure!
