Okay so this is my first grow im only growing a few plants maybe up to 4 i have my little box set up under a workbench out in the work shop lined with carpet and plastic to keep it warm the seeds are in germination right now. i have 2 small pots im will start them in once they crack. In the pictures i have my light and 3 stainless pan lids to make it refelct of be brighter. I will be swicthing to CFL's once i get the budget. The space is 2ft 7in wide, 2ft 10in depth, and 2ft 5in 1/5 inchs tall. I have spent like the past 2 weeks planning reading and reading and getting the space ready to grow in and now it is i will try to keep you guys up to date. The medium is soil from my back yard with sand mixed into it. Do i really need to add fertalizer? While the seeds are cracking open i have about 3 days so i gotta build a door and make it light proof. For when i switch to 12 on and 12 off. So please tell me what you think and any tips you can give me thanks : D

I removed the lid closest to the door way. I have added a door also. Still have problems with light leaks which will be fixed soon. Today i just put two seeds into the pots without germination i know i know i shouldn't have but i couldn't wait to get them started i hope they come up. I have got more seeds in a paper towel now though so if they dont next 2-3days ill be ready to put more in : D.
 
Cool man thanks if i do i will let you know im thinking about not topping the plants then again i might i saw yours without topping and they look pretty good
 
eventually you're gonna need more light , but for now thats fine. hope it starts out right for you.
 
yea i figured as much that im going to need more light just dont have the money right now to get it sucks.

If you live in the US , Look on Craigslist for hps lights. you can find street lamps that are HPS and MH light {high pressure Sodium} Use the HPS to flower and for 4 plants a 150 watter plus 2 or 3 CFL"S will do you real nice. Get the CFL" in the white or blue spectrum, that way you can cover the whole spectrum. if i can help you i will.:joint:
 
hey guys nothing yet which sucks. Worm i do live in USA and i did check craigslist and all i say for hps or halide was wanted ads : ( so i will have to go buy it new
 
Look up factory lights or warehouse lights. message me what state you in and i'll check for you bro. If you want.
 
Hey guys i got a new grow going on right now thanks for the help running 3 or more cfls : D look at it click link in my signture
