As promised guys i have started my first 12/12 grow . At the moment i have got the seedlings in a small foam box with some cfls just in the mean time until i have aquired a big enough cab for their final home. The plan is to use my 120 watt led ballast from my fish tank days, a couple of small 20 watt cfls(2700k) and a big 150 watt cfl(6500k) and a small t4 fluorescent light(10watt/500 lumens). I am only using a little bit of light for now until i got a bigger space/cab for the rest, so all up the lighting will be about 300 watts. I do plan on adding more 20 watt cfls if i have enough space but for now this will have to do.

Clean all that foam up if any of it gets into the buds .....well...bad.

If you an clean those walls and floor up a bit it will help allot with reflected light, especially late in the grow. (maybe paint white?)

Clean grow is a happy grow!

Believe it or not but i actualy wiped it with bleach before starting this, i used it in the past as a container for my soil mixes and it seems to have stained it up but at the moment it has alot of splashing from watering so it looks bad i know. I dont plan on having them in there for much longer tho as i am starting to look for cabs for them

Week 2 update and things are coming along nicely. All the seedlings in the cups are from a very freshly cut outdoor seeded ounce and seem to be growing faster than my first batch in the pots

So its been a month since i started this 12/12 from seed grow and already the fems are starting to show, so far ive found 1 male and 3 fems. Im looking for some advice on whether or not to put in a scrog of some sort or just let them grow as is. Some have been topped and some havent. Also with my current light setup im in need of advice on how many to keep under the lights and how many to remove. At the moment i haven 5 24 watt cfls, a bigger 5500k 150 watt cfl and an led ballast running white at half power (70 watts) as well as a small 10 watt fluorescent tube. No idea how many lant i can gave max under that but if anyone can help ill be stoked
