1st grow homemade box, cfl

ive got a journal goin, but not getting too much feedback lol, im trying to soak up as much as i can here. Money is sorta tight so im doing a "budget grow". I do need some info on nutes, i was thinking of growing them all organically, if i end up deciding to go that route, what am i going to have to get and do? I built my box and am going to buy 2 more Y splitters and get 2 more 6500k 23w and 2 more 2700k cfls not sure what wattage yet.so this is about 3 days after they sprouted. let me know what yall think! thanks guys and gals.

heres the setup (the lamp is just to have a little more overall lighting only gonna have it in there till i buy my other lights)


2 babies


looks strong to me


another one


im guessing that i have the cab sitting at the right temp?


thanks for takin the time to check it out, the more comments and help i can get the better, thanks again God bless

I am sure he plans to add more but if not you really should be thinking about it right now. You'll know you don't have enough light when they are stretching towards a light source. Think about either putting more CFLs in there or a better light source with better cooling.

Either way the more lights you have, the more heat you will have to worry about. Those temps won't last once you start tinkering with it.

Get a square piece of metal, and buy some light sockets with the y splitter. Attach those light sockets onto the square metal piece in a line or 2 lines. Add those Y splitters onto them, then hang it where your hanging that 6500k light. Hang it above the plant, exactly the height your hanging that light 6500k light. When your doing this, your going to need an exhaust vent with a fan. Also get a desktop fan, and fan it towards your plants, and up. So you can move the air flow upwards. ---- Just make sure when you hang your new light, have them close as possible without burning the plants. They'll grow better that way.

Yea like i said im going to get 2 more Y splitters with 4 more CFLs. 6 C/FLs in all. 4 6500K and 2 2700K. any recommendations on how to cool the cab down whats i get more lights in? i was going to have 2 intake fans and 1 exhaust, will that be sufficient? I keep my house around 67 68, and it seems to keep my cab around 75, i have one more fan blowing fresh air into the front of the box right now.

And i will get the hood done as well, i figured i was going to need to make one at some point lol

Better to have 2 exhaust and 1 intake, a little negative pressure will suck the hot air out faster. The more air being pushed into the cab won't be able to pass through as well and inturn cause it to heat things up.

oh ok, see! thats why i need you guys haha.
