first grow.. small stealth indoor grow using FFOF and FOX FARM NUTES.. 40 days old, flowering day 12.. the one on top right and top left are Fem and the front plant i will know in the next couple days!! LST'd the one on the top right a bit so i've got 4 branches coming out the same side i dunno seems like its going okay for the first time around! not doing anything too fancy, and theres a few burns on the leaves but it was from a pH problem and i got that fixed right up when i started giving it Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom!

i actually just have a surge protector with 3 light socket plugs in it and then 3 23w CFL's... and i use another lamp with another CFL.. I vegged with 3x6500k & 1x2700k and they ended up super bushy, and when i switched to flower i just rotated out with 3x2700k and 1x6500k! so far so good :] even the bottom nodes are getting beefy little preflowers lol! bongsmilie

that's real good,only thing i whould think of doing is upgradeing to 2x your set up,cause flowering takes a lil bit more,maybe some 42 watter's,how close do you keep your light's

yeah i actually plan on doubling up here soon for this grow.. next batch im building a flowering box and im goin HPS for sure.. basically was just feeling it out since its my first actual legit grow! i intended in the end for this to just be my little vegging cabinet :]
 
i put the extra lamp about an inch away from the leaves and i set the plants up on platforms so theyre about 2 inches from the main lights
 
Just added a big ass 85 watt CFL ( and no not equal to 85watt, its load is 85 actual watts) to all the other small 23 watters.. in this little tiny space im about to see what CFL's can pull off haha!
 
The White Widow (the bottom left front plant) is lookin a little sickly in these pics but in the last few days shes perked up nicely from some Ful-Power Cold Microbial processed Fulvic Acid, which has cretacious humic substances which help the plants health, respiration, enzymatic activities, increased yield, enhance root development, boost immunity, relieve environmental stress, and enhance absorption of vital nutrients.. basically everything you could ever ask for!

Try some! its called "Ful-Power USA" and is roughly 30 dollars a quart but its worth every penny! :]

and it aint a sham, Fulvic Acid is the real deal! I highly suggest it to anyone whois a dedicated grower!
 
Sooo. the Juicy Fruit was a Herm.. :( but its all good cuz the WW and NL are FEM.. :] the widow is starting to get long pistils and i cant wait! :P lol

most grows i see can get up to a gram per watt of cfl.. your using the fox farm trio and the soil so i am guessing you are going to get least a gram a watt dried as long as the bulbs are close as safely possible..too hott for your hand then too hott for your babies... shoot me any questions you got i am a wealth of knowledge

Thanks Brother I've got a monster 2700k 85w CFL, and then 2x 2700k and 1x23W 6500k CFL! so hopefully I get a decent yield at least! :) I will be keeping this thread updated! I also just sent some Rep your way! Thanks Bro! :weed:
 
Your ladies are lookin great. You'll be sucessful your first grow. You have the aptitude...I read through your shit, and you display decent understanding. ALOT OF PPL i help on here, need to be told everything in FINE DETAILS and no aptitude for being resourseful, or implimenting instructions being given to them. I don't think i really have any advice for you....I may have questions tho. Good job.

Is your power bar light strip positioned with the bulb tips pointing at the plants, or do your have the broad side of the bulbs facing the plants? FIY broadside produces 10x the lumans than the bulb TIP.

My first CFL grow led to a 400W hps. I now use both strict CFL, and HPS all PERPETUAL. ANXIETY sufferers tend to favor my CFL Organic Grown buds.

K...I guess I'd say, among the Reputable community here, asking for "rep" is kinda discredible and well lame. You'll likely get more by not asking. Trust me when i say, people will take notice when your doing as good a job as you are. However.....most of your rep points come AFTER your experienced and are able to help OTHERS. Its ppl that have been helped that are greatful that hand out rep. Otherwise you have to be doing something rather amazing with pictures for people to give you random rep. So the long, and now the short.....You win mine, but not because you asked. ;)

I wouldn't expect this much for your first grow, but i concour that these numbers are attainable.

Yes indeed, I like it when someone like myself, does a lot of research before, doing something like this.

I've been sampling some of my latest cure, Lemon Skunk and Hollands hope....just in time for christmas. I planned this out back in sept, knowing i wanted something HOME GROWN, for the holidays.
