First Grow CFL tent w/Bagseed

Hey Guys, I've been trolling the forums for a bit now just gathering info for my grow. I just finished setting things up today for my closet tent. I plan to veg and flower in here, so let's see how it goes

Setting things up


Temperature test


Plants in



Close up



As for right now I've got two 125w with w/reflectors and I plan on putting a couple of rows of 23w on the sides of the plants once I can get myself an intake fan to keep my temps low. Right now, it's keeping pretty steady between 75-80 with a RH of about 35-40%.

Any comments are much appreciated! Thanks for checking it out.

Looks great. I wish my first closet grow looked this clean and organized.

Also, I'm using FF Grow Big, Super Thrive and Bat Guano with Coco Coir as my medium.

Amazing how much you get out of a brick

Thanks, Man!

lookin good but look into investing in a better lamp and seeds lol

Looking at it again - you could drop those lights a bit. Remember with CFLs it is all about keeping them SUPER close. As close as possible without touching.

Seeds are on their way, homie! And about the lights, I'm putting more cfl's in soon but aside from that I can't really do much more...Heat is really a factor here in the FL and I'm not really looking into venting anywhere else but my closet lol

Looking good so far!!! Good job keep it up bro!

Ambient temps are ambient temps - they won't fluctuate depending on those lights distance to the plants. You really don't need to worry about immediate hot spots or heat stress from CFLs immediate cast. What are the temps?

@ Gastanker: I pulled up the lights for the pics, right now they're about 6" above the plants and the temps are around 75 low 82 high.
@ Smokey: Thanks, Dude!

+ rep as well!!

Glad to see there are a few of us doing CFL tent grows!!

Yeah, Man! I just read up on your grow, can't wait to see the end result!

Today I set up 8 more 23w on power strips to the sides of the babies.



Is it normal for the lower sets of leaves to yellow and get wicked droopy once planted into a pot?


Levels for the day


That's about it so far for today. I never thought I'd be so stoked to come home and stare at my plants hahaha
Any comments/info is greatly appreciated (+rep)

Plants are looking wicked good, I think. Just gave a good watering and smoked a bowl

New leaves are coming out of 90% of the plants where the bottom leaves were drooping off. Good to see


So Stoked



Hopefully sometime this week I can go get a nice intake fan to try and cool this tent down. Time for another bowl and bed.

Bat and Seabird guano last night and a light watering tonight.

I'm a little concerned about the yellowing/burns on some of the plants, but I think they're looking pretty healthy aside from that.

Waheyy you went all out there man, i need to step it up. Props on the setup, subd!

Looks very organised, i'm working on a similar grow, so i'm interested in your progress. subd 4 sure!

Thanks Guys, I appreciate it!

Gave a good watering/feeding last night with FF Grow Big and Super Thrive

Have some leaf discoloration on three plants
