After all the mistakes... My New Setup

closetgrower1990 · Jan 23, 2009

I need opinions.... These plants have been outside for about a month and I have transfered it to indoor today.

P.D. Are these the proper lights? Can 2 do for now? I got another two but i didn't have money for the socket thingy. Any advice? Should I change anything? ANYTHING, from distance of lights, positioning, etc...

na thats wrong..the daylights are for veg.. soft white/warm white for flower.I hope dude didnt waste money on that advice lol.

Hahaha. What if i give it about 16 - 18 hours of light? Is it good?

daveof59 · Jan 25, 2009

I'd recommend just getting some cool blue lites

And one more:

Any more things i could do? Alumin paper? Etc...

they say not to use AF b/c it will cause heat problems and burn your plants.

closetgrower1990 · Jan 25, 2009

So what should i do to get the maximum light?

shefsmoke · Jan 25, 2009

get mylar or I even heard emeragancy blankets then I heard they said that those dont work but Ive seen so many ppl use them and say they are great. thats what im going to try or just paint my dresser white.

closetgrower1990 · Jan 25, 2009

How much is the mylar thing? How many more lights should i put?

shefsmoke · Jan 25, 2009

Have no idea. search for it over the net. I dont have any places around me that have Mylar so I am just stuck with other options. as far as light. I dont know. Im on my first time to check out my grow general. I have 4 26 6500k daylights and 1 42watt CFL for about 2-3 plants.

how many plants are you growing again and how tall are you wanting them to get? b/c your looking like u might not have enuff space. for my space I ordered auto ak 47 seeds from attitude seedbank they said something like 30" or so

closetgrower1990 · Jan 25, 2009

A want them like 1 ft, max 2, thats it. And then go into flowering. Im just a kid, and its gonna be all for me.

shefsmoke · Jan 25, 2009

i dont know all that info. Im a beginner like you are. but i went with auto flowering so its done in like 2 and a half months time.

closetgrower1990 · Jan 26, 2009

So flowering is 2 1/2 months?

letsdothis21 · Jan 26, 2009

Dude you should check out the grow FAQ there's a bunch of info in there. But for you I would just spray paint the inside of whatever you plan on growing in with FLAT white paint and then you don't have to mess around with any mylar or blankets. Flowering depends on the strain but usually takes around 2 months or so...
