well i could give the most important tip you will ever get pertaning to indoor grows "make sure your light is clamped or placed secure" lol im sure we have all learned that the hard way.

Yes my lights are secure. I still have the middle one to really secure but all I need to do is mount a fixture and tie in the wiring. I plan on doing that this weekend.

if you wanna stick to cfls you might like this http://www.littlegreenhouse.com/accessory/lights.shtml im thinking in getting one i dont like having so many pluggs n shit if i had less wires id feel detter plus it spreads the light better and you can always throw in a cfl for extra or side lighting.

I was looking into one of those setups with the reflector but it goes against the spirit of my grow by trying to keep things low budget. I think that I have spent no more than $100 total on this project including the cost of clones. If I decide to get serious and go bigger those are what I would be looking to use! Thanks for the info.

I think the price tag is the biggest allure of growing with CFLs for me. That being said, i think I'm well above the $100 mark at this point...lol...But personally, I wouldn't want to buy anything I can rig up myself. The DIY aspect of these grows are, for me, EXTREMELY entertaining, and I love having an ongoing project to constantly add to and daydream about. When I'm ready, i'll move up to HPS for flowering, but totally content with CFLs at the moment...that and I want a two bulb 2' T5 fixture, $30 from Home Depot.

P.S.-Paid $15 each for my clones, how much were yours?

I paid $5/ea for a few of the clones and $10/ea for the other 3. I had a hookup. The seeds were given to me, the soil and nutes were left over from my outdoor grow. I spent most my money on lights and connectors. Everything else has been picked up from around the house or from my buddies house.

Nice, I started from scratch. All I had was the will to grow and some bagseeds

Yep I had a little head start but it's all going to be the same result. Lessons learned and free bud.

I popped my head in there this am and discovered that most of the ladies in the flower chamber have started to show. It's not going to be a huge yield but if I can finish them out it will be a nice first indoor grow!

I will get some pics up for you guys later this evening after work and when they are getting their wind bath.

Dam buying clones ,thats whats up ..lol..hell yea !!! But the grow is awesome ABM ! love the conversion! subbed +rep

Thanks guys.. Lights are off right now and I missed my window the other night. I will make sure to take some pics tonight.

Here are some pics..

Please ask any questions you would like and I will try and answer the best that I can. The clones are on day 17 on 12/12. The the bagseed is doing better than I though so I put them into bigger pots.

On to the pics.

Nice .i see hairs ! If you can get some light down in the canopy they would love it,but they looking good !
Is your cabnet split for veg and bloom?

Very Nice Bro! Lookin nice and healthy!
