Bigfoot's lowryder/bagseed/ cfl grow

After having some success at growing a few plants from seed to smokeable herb, I decided to try a bigger grow under cfl lights to see what I can achieve.. Any help or info from anybody would be greatly appreciated..I love learning..and right now I have my own house and divorced so, I can pretty much do anything I want in the house

My setup is as followed..this is just my veg room, I am still contemplating where I wanna set up my flower room with 400 watt hps light.

4 - 26w 6500k cfl's
fan circulating air inside my box
timer for the lights set at 18/6
Homemade co2 jug with hose flowing into grow box

I started off with 50 plants..I know 50 sounds like alot but, I have to expect screw ups and deaths along the way..the males I will be using for bubble hash.

Out of these 50 plants, 4 are lowryder, which will pretty much take care of themselves. I am using kitchen cabinets for my grow box..3 ft high by 3 ft deep by 3 ft wide.

I also have 3 hempy bucket plants growing outside that I will try to focus on too..these hempy buckets contain clones from a good mother plant that I grew over the winter..

Hopefully my cell phone camera will work for the picture taking atm till I get my camera back from my daughter..

The first picture is my hempy buckets outside..notice i keep my ph around 5.6..if anyone has suggestions on that, please speak up

The other pictures are various shots of all the plants in the box, and the box itself..take a special look at the temp and humidity in there..cannot seem to bring it down alot..maybe installing another fan or using a fan as a exhaust through one of the cabinet doors..

here are the rest of the babies..they are all about a week old being fed distilled water..the hempy buckets are being fed fert solution..

I have been cutting the cups down..I am hoping to have 12 plants in my flowering room, so there is gonna be alot of choosing and killing in the next couple weeks.

Nice bro, Subbed. Good luck on your grow. Take a peek at mine, I got 2 of which I'm hoping at least 1 is a female. I'm vegging them under a 35W 5600k CFL for like a week or two before I put them outside. Keep your ladies happy and best wishes!

Thank you and I am gonna take a look here at your grow in sec.. the highest think I could find around here was the 26 watters..I'm planning on putting a screen in there and keep them under a foot

Any updates on your grow bro?

I'm well into my second week for my babies..they are coming along good.. just trying to find a good way to take some clear pictures, hopefully in a few more days.

I cut the amount of plants down alot, thats why I grew so much in the first place. I am down to about 20 good growers now, still want to cut this between 8-12 plants total. I am in the process of turning a old dresser into a stealth grow box for flowering.

how are your plants coming along 420?

Gonna try to take some better cell phone pictures outside of a few of my better growing plants. Might even put a couple in 12/12 to see what I can expect. My babies are 19 days old now (from first sign of ground breakage) I still do not have my hps light yet so, it will be interesting to see what 4 - 2700k's are gonna do

Hey bro, I hear ya on the phone thing, my phone can't take pics for shit, if I take a pic up too close it'll just be blurry as hell ha. Well I have 1 plant that just popped outta the soil today, check it out on my grow link in my signature, I'm adding it to my new journal instead of having 2 journals at once since that'll just be a pain Good luck and keep me updated bro.

Hm, 4 HPS lamps huh? What wattage?

Oh, still nice. I'm doing the 12/12 from seed technique to keep my plant slender and a 'pole' like shape, so the light gets all over the canopy and I'll hopefully get .7-1g per watt this way.

Ya, I saw a post about you saying that for each watt of light you get between .5 - 1g..just have to get batteries now for the camera and its showtime

Well, due to life circumstances, it has been awhile since i have updated

My babies are growing up fast..I ended up with 16 nice plants, which 9 of them have been in flower now for 2 weeks..the first 2 pictures shows some really nice female pistils..the plant is close to 2 feet high..the second picture i am not sure if this is a definite male..maybe someone can tell me for sure? The 3rd is the temps in my veg room before i built a new room with my brand new 400w hps..I have to watch the temp carefully as it was starting to stick in the 95 degree area with light on and humidity 51%, have not checked it at night yet..I have my closet flowering area well lined with panda film and it is so bright now its like the sun is pouring in. I'll be posting some better pictures tomorrow and hopefully pics of my grow room..all advice or comments welcome

Bro, I'm not sure if I'm seeing exactly right but the 3rd pic is full of balls! it's a male just waiting to release the pollen. The 1st and 2nd are definitely females, good luck on your grow.

ya they are def males now..i have three of them that i keep in a different room so they cannot touch the females..these males are going to be made into bubble hash. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since i have them in flower. I checked the temps in my grow room all day yesterday during the lights on and the humidity came down alot. I am running at 41% humidity and 90 degrees..at night the temp dropped to 75

Well, it has been awhile since I have updated..I ended up having 12 females out of the 50 that I started with..6 are beginning their 6th week flowering and the rest are going into 4th week..gonna post a few pictures in a minute to see if anyone knows the strain of these 2 plants that are unknown to me..any help will greatly be appreciated

I definitely learned alot from this grow experiment and am already planning my next as soon as these girls finish up

this is one of the strains I don't know
