Got new lights, temp gauge, new pics....

Hello again all, just thought I would update you on how my grow is going. Just picked up a 200w Cool White CFL, and 2 150w Warm White CFL's, should I add more lights in there?. Plus I picked up a thermometer its cheap but it will work, what temp should my closet be for the plants to flourish? And if it is to low, how do I raise the temp? Thanks in advanced for the comments, keep high

PS- I Know its dirty working on it really busy with shit around here.

First of all those are two nice plants! Respect. How far along are they, what are you using for a light cycle? More lights definitely wouldn't hurt.. I would recommend the temps stay around 72-75 degrees I think that is Ideal to avoid rot/fungus growth. If the temps drop to low, you can turn down the fan, add some more light.. Turn on the heat..? I would suggest getting some drain off trays for your "plant pots" assuming they have holes at the bottom which i imagine they do this will allow proper drainage and not dirty or wet the floor. Keep up the good work bro!

Ps what kind of herb is it?

Good looking plants and nice job controlling height. Now just take some clones and get your numbers up. 80F is good just don't go over 90F and you don't want colder then 65F. Those lights look okay for veg. Do you have a good light like an HPS to flower with? If not look into a 600w HPS (you would only need a 250w for 2 plants). If you want to add more lights for veg you could add splitters that can hold 2-4 lights from one socket. Use 20-60w CFL lights for decent efficiency / penetration. I found that 4 x 40w lights run cooler then a 150w light. If you can run the 150-200w CFL lights in you veg chamber with low heat keep them.

Thank you i have been trying to tend to their every need but they grow so fast! The big one is about 6 weeks old, and the little one is about 3 weeks old, big one is bag seed and the little one is a master kush my buddy gave me out of a random gram so I hope it is a fem! I got another 200w Daylight CFL and another 4 40w Red's for flowering. The light cycle is 18-6 from seeds, using an organic soil with shrimp castings. The temp is about a steady 85 degrees. Im building a custom made drip tray, thinking a wooden frame with a metal inside? Keep updated for more pics, adding more soon to this post.

Thanks man I think they are doing good as well, I plan on using pure CFL lighting because of the low cost and risk, personal beliefs really. Im going to add 6 40w Red CFL's for flowering hopefully it will be enough!

adding all of my past pictures for all to see and comment on.



Adding new ones today just switched to 12 on 12 off, hoping for some sexes ASAP! Or at least in 14 days...?

Ok guys first day of flowering!

The lights I picked up for Veg & Flowering

The Master Kush now a young plant



^^Unidentified strain of bag seed, although it looks promising

Temp is at a steady 80 right now

Better look at the Master Kush

Over view of the set up


Send me some feed back guys!

Looks pretty good I bet you will get some good nugs. Add a little more light in there if you feel like it. I assume you just want to finish up the grow?

they look great man but you're 4 sure gonna want more lights up in there for flowering.
