    1st grow! 400watt CFL train wreck

    Thank you! I got an unbranded Chinese one off of eBay, it had nothing but good reviews and was on sale so I figured I'd give it a try. It's a full spectrum with 3w diodes and pulls 216 true watts. It's still on the way, should only be a few more days until it gets here according to the tracker.

    1st grow! 400watt CFL train wreck

    Those are some nice plants! How is the heat output from those lights? My flower room is 2x2x4.5 and inside of a closet, it has good ventilation but not enough to cool it down too much.

    1st grow! 400watt CFL train wreck

    I actually just started looking into the COBs, there is a lot of good things said about them. I bought a 300w full spectrum led ufo that should be here in about a week or so and I'm going to use that as my main light and the CFLs as side lighting in my flower room as soon as it gets here. But...

    1st grow! 400watt CFL train wreck

    Well now it's actually 700w of CFLs 2 150w 2700k and 4 100w 5000k. And yes sometimes it takes a little while to get all the lights in the perfect place but I feel like it is better to have the lights placed all around rather than just directly above it that's why I didn't end up going with a T5.

    1st grow! 400watt CFL train wreck

    Yeah the only thing I had was some fishing line so I made sure to keep the tension real light. I will pick up some garden wire today and redo it so I don't risk hurting her.

    1st grow! 400watt CFL train wreck

    Thank you both! I just tied down two of the bigger leaves that were blocking the newer growth. What do you think? Any advice is appreciated. Took a couple pictures of the pistils as well.

    1st grow! 400watt CFL train wreck

    I finally gave in and decided to start my first grow. I am doing it in a tent, I currently have one train wreck clone that I bought last night in a 2x2x4.5 space with 4 100w 5000k 1,600L CFLs on a 18/6 schedule. I just transplanted to a 3 gallon pot with a 75% Kellogg organic plus and 25%...
