Hey I finally got a camera to help you guys out a lot with my questions and so on.


This is my closet and my setup.

I have 4 daylight cfl 6500k lights (getting more)
1 42watt CFL
I dont have a box yet I want one b/c its very hard to setup the lights without having to hang them and I have nothing to hang them from in there so I think i'll need a box or w/e I can get my hands on.
I ordered 10 auto ak 47 seeds from attitude they gave me 5 power skunk g13 seeds and 1 pure gold fem seed for freebies waiting on that shipment.
right now im just testing around playing with some bagseeds so I dont screw up any of my good seeds. any questions or suggetions would be very very helpful specially for a grow box. I need about 4foot by 2 foot. low cost plz.

When you make the message upload the pics from your PC by using the 'attachment Manager' button on the new thread page. Check out the sticky in the newbies section.

Glad to see another floro lover. I'm using around 110 watts of CPF power on my little plant. Hope it makes my baby buds into fat buds.

Check out my single plant. I think I am using about the same amount of light you are on my plant and the growth has been dense and green so I think your setup will have nice results. Links in my signature.

when are you gonna have it all set up? if i were u, i would use this opportunity before getting everything started to line the inside of my box with mylar or even inside out xmas wrapping paper. will reflect lots of light and look more professional also if u take time to make it neat. :Þ

Great looking cab man. I hear that flat white paint can be a very efficient reflector for walls. It's aslo cost effective over mylar.

Go to wal-mart or target and buy a couple emergency blankets from the camping section, they are mylar one maybe 2 to cover your grow area, they are like 2 dollars a piece you cant grow wrong...o and i would say the best way to attach it to your walls would be with Elmer's spray on adhesive....there is no messing with tape and it sticks really well to the walls i used it on mine and worked great bongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmilie

You and I are doing almost the exact same grow my friend. I am getting online tonight to pick up some bigger CFL's. I'm living where electricity impact is somewhat of a concern, so I'm a little confused where to start. I'll get my grow journal going up here tonight or tomorrow. We should totally keep tabs man!

Looks like you got all the right stuff... especially ferts. Be VERY carefull when using ferts on young autos... I would not fertilize them until they are at least 3 weeks old and then only a quarter dose. Also use large pots... right from the beginning. With autos it's tempting to think "small plant=small pot" If you use too small a pot the plants will be friggin TINY!
DOO GOOD!

Oh yea! Please dont overwater the little bastards! Put some sand in your mix and completely soak the mix about every 5-6 days. Easy to want to overwater. Better to let them show you when they need water. They will simply droop! Add water and presto...just like a hard-on!
One more real important thing... DONT TELL OR SHOW ANYONE YOUR GROW, THATS HOW THINGS GO BAD!
