first time cfl attic grow going on

Ok here is the setup _MG_2281.jpg and a tighter view closeup.jpg last but not least _MG_2287.jpg

It has been on 24/7 light for about 2 weeks and last night just turned it over to an 18/6 schedule. yes she (hopefully a she) seems small, and i'm guessing this is due to the extreme temp swings she has endured, the attic is kinda tricky to keep a constant temp but I think I have it worked out. I also didn't think that the cfls would get that hot, but that should work out well when the snow starts flying soon, still need to add a few lights and dial in the temp controls but what do yall think?

ok well I have a photo update_MG_2288.jpg and I also learned about the miracle grow potting soil, should have it transplanted by tomorrow.

looks as good as it should do mate , my only advice would be , try to chill out n let the weed do its thing , you will end up over loving it and coming up with problems , try to transplant as little as possible i only do one transplant for my grows from party cups to there final home , but i do 12 / 12 from seed . definately no ferts yet , and hold back on the water ,how many times a year does it rain in places like afghan ? let the pot completely dry out and some before watering again and when you water give her a good drink then leave her alone for allmost a week then check , you can tell when she wants water by the weight of the pot .mirical grow is fine as long as you dont over water , the time release ferts are activated by water so as long as you keep the watering to a minimum the ferts will actually help your plant , just dont go feeding her anything for a while at least .
ive used mg loads of times , infact i got two 'phat n fruitys ' in miricle grow right now and they are thriving , but they only gettin water every 9 days .
But yeah they look great atm keep it up .

I leave it alone for two days and look what happens_MG_2603.jpg _MG_2604.jpg

lookin good for the moment, although I did transplant it out of the MG time realease soil after these pics were taken. And yes i'm thinking now I should have listened to you, the sativa, and left it alone. I think it will still do well but there was root damage and i'm willing to bet that will take away any benefits that a less hot soil would have provided? But hell I don't know. On a side note, she now has a friend coming up right by her and again its just bagseed from some damn fine dank. By the way i'm starting to get a little paranoid, what do you people think the chances are of the wrong people finding this? Comments and criticism welcome.

well its update time: The cab temp was fluctuating to much in the attic so I got some r-19 and fixed it, so I believe I am sitting around R30 now and the hottest it gets now is mid to upper 80. I added a 10 UVB cfl to the mix just for kicks and at the same time found some 68w cfl at the depot, these thing are big. So that puts me at 398w (real watts) cfl with 68w being 65k, 26 watts being uvb, and the rest being 27k. I am about to start nutes.

any thoughts on the yellowing?

couple pics.

that looks like nitrogen deficiency, hows your pH and the temp in there? pH can lock out nitrogen, and a high temp can evaporate the water faster than they can absorb the nutrients, so next time ya water, theres double the fertilizer, and that could mess with the pH even more

I must say that I'm a new people here.

Hey bro, hows your plants doing? Im thinking of doing a very similar grow in my own attic. Can you please tell me what R19/R30 is? Sorry, im still learning but i ask becasue down her in the great state of Texas, my attic easily reaches close to 120 degrees. My main concern is insulation/temp control. Any advice you could give me would be much obliged! Good luck on the grow and hope your babies thrive!
