This is my first grow using the setup below, the lights in the top section are adjustable (up and down).

At the time of the pictures (yesterday) the plant had vegged for 17 days and been flowering for an addtional 16 days.

She is himalayan gold

Since I am new I would welcome any suggestions.... cheers..bongsmilie

Is that tin foil inside your box?? If so I highly recomend using mylar. you will get much better reflectivity, might seem bright now but add mylar and you will be quite happy. How many watts are your cfls? do you know how many lumens they each produce? I only ask because I have done a couple of full grows with cfls so I had to do alot of research on them. Despite what anyone might say you can get good flowering from cfls, Just look at my blueberry pics....all cfl grow , nice yield great quality.

looks more like mylar to me.

did you say 17 days of veg? and 16 of flowering? thats 33 days man... one month... my plant is 5 weeks old, been under 150input watts of cfl and this is what it looks like.

if its really only a month old plz tell me how?

thats a cool setup dude... what cfls are you using? I think i bought the wrong cfls because my plants are 3 weeks old and look like a twig of grass
you want the highest input wattage you can get. not the equivelent.
or you could go on ebay and look up cfl plant light

i am, i have some 26w and a 42w. the 42w is good if you want to upgrade a little or you can order special actual plant bulbs from this guy on ebay, ill see if i can get his link.

thats the guys shop. he has some BIG ASS cfl bulbs and some smaller ones and all in between. 6500k or 2700k just say which kind you want in the message area when you buy it.
