Love seeing other people learn from my experience, glad to see you enjoyed it, I sure did.
Anyways, yeah thats nice that you have that sort of space to grow in, even if it nots that much, its better then what I got. Those 59w CFL sound great, and the 23w to add for flowering will definitly give it an extra boost.
But Im kind of confused on your situation, you had another plant growing somewhere in a vase and it seeded and those seeds just grew randomly and you salavaged some?
Got any pics?
A grow journal would be great, Id be interested in seeing what happens with everything. As for those temps, thats some heat! You should really try and lower it, is it possible? Or is the environment of the area almost that hot already?
I would work on perfecting this grow area before your sprout for the seeds. I would have not waisted my money on the seeds that I had and failed with I think 3?

Phew, just finished reading the whole thing, it sure was a lot of learning! Took some 5 days reading here and there, just like a book. Great that you didn't give up on them, it sure paid out!
I'm currently on a test run of a grow box, 2 x 2 x 4 with adjustable 4 59w CFLs, but I plan on putting some 4 more 23w's once I started flowering the weirdest pack of plants one has ever tried to tame. They grew in a kind of vase outdoors from seeds of plants that grew there before, but there just happened to be a freaking TREE growing there too, so some plants were completely stunted in the shade while others reached 2 feet (with some 2 to 6 inches of stem going between nodes!) when I topped them for some half dozen clones.
I'm vegging them for some time to learn the ropes of nutes and lights, your thread have and will sure help! I had to tie the 2 tall plants down, ended up bending the stems in the process, but it seems the plants handled it. Three other average sized plants are looking shitty, very long stems from the base to a small cola, but the have some potential. Clones took forever to pick up, no such thing as rooting hormone to be found in supermarkets or even gardening shops around Brazil, perhaps in capital cities. One clone seems to be dying for good, two have exploded in growth this week, and two are, well, alive. Just gave them some vegging nutes yesterday, so I'll wait at least some 10 more days until I start flowering, I guess I'll have a (very) little something to celebrate late January.
Planning on getting some NL for a fresh new grow, but I might just go with bagseed and use the cash to pimp the box a bit... Temps will not get under 85-90 with lights on, and it's NIGHT -- well, summer night, but I've seen things go past 110F with lights on in the afternoon, that's why they now get a rest from 1 to 7 pm. Well, that's what I get for setting up a grow in a box under a ceramic tile roof!Maybe it's time to think of another room to hide that in.
Guess I turned wide on the bable, but it's just the excitement of seeing a great grow and thinking how I can get things to work around here. I might start a journal with the fresh grow, hope the CFLs do me good!

It's a long story, but I'll try to shorten it: there's a barbecue area outside and, after several joints smoked and seeds thrown in this kind of vase, a few plants sprouted. There was a tree (an ipê, or Tabebuia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabebuia) on there already, but it was not much more than a seedling. The seeds sprouted around April this year, a couple of months before winter in the Southern hemisphere, so they soon flowered and some of them hermied. The resulting seeds fell on the dirt and one day I counted 28 seedlings! Most died, but about 10 thrived. By this time, the ipê had grown quite a lot, so the cannabis seedlings were in the shade. Some had a very stunted growth -- maybe because the soil was not that great anyway -- while others grew quite tall, reaching two feet in not long. I live with two friends and convinced them to make a grow box and took a few clones and transplanted the plants from the vase to 2,5-gallon buckets. Some did not resist the change, but a few seem to be doing fairly well.
The temp really is an issue. I assembled the box under the ceramic tile roof, which gets scorching hot during the day, when it is easily 85F in the afternoon. Since the last post, I put four 90 mm computer fans pushing about 45 cfm each and things are a bit under control, but it's still between 85 and 90 all the time. I plan on transfering tthe box to a room with cooler temps, but there's no escaping the summer! I'll see about some pics later on, but a journal probably will only come when I start a grow from scratch.

you can check out craigslist, I see free computers there all the time. I know this is an old post, but maybe that'll help
