1st time cfl grow.

This will be my first grow ever. Im just gonna take pics every day or so and put them here just to see how its growing. Its about a week or a week and a half old right now. Im a dumbass and bought all 2700k lights so i have 5-23w 2700k cfls on them now. Im gonna go to menards or walmart later and get some 6500k. There is 2 pc fans in the sides of the rubbermaid tub. I have the lights tied to the front mesh part to my bass amp.

I put 3-23w 6500k lights on it the other day. I bought 4 but one busted when i dropped it. Right now there is 3-23w 6500k and 1-23w 2700k on it. Heres a couple pics of today. How does she look?

Just a couple pics from today.

I started flower yesterday. Will put up pics later. Altho no one check this out anyways lol.

How tall were they when you switched them to flower?

they look very nice and bushy, nice little ghetto set-up you got.

are those wires just twisted together? if so please get some connectors at least thats pretty damn dangerous

what strain are they?

nice plant man, how man days did you veg?

Yeah its super ghetto. I had some caps on the wires but i had to change the setup a few times, and i had to unhook all the wires, so i said screw the caps. Im not exactly sure how tall it was when i started flower, i dont have a ruler or anything. Its a lot bigger then those last pics. I will take pictures tomorrow when the lights come on.

also i dunno what strain they are. Whenever i cant find any crippy and have to buy regs i just keep the good seeds and thats where it came from. I have some pics from before i started 12/12.

How tall were they when you switched them to flower?

I dunno, pretty much the same height they are in the pics.

plants look healthy. whats up with the soda cans in your box?

ghetto ass reflectors lol. I prolly have the most ghetto setup of all. Ill take a short vid of my whole grow area tomorrow.

they look rather nice, i started the same way; with the 2700's but mine are doing rather nicely now what lights are you using now that you are flowering? cause the 6500's are not good for this stage.

If your temps arent too high you may want to get some mylar or even emergency blankets to put over the mesh your using as a lid. im new here but it seems your losing alot of light out of the top that could be directed back at your babies. just a suggestion.

I started it with 5-23w 2700 until i got the 6500k bulbs. Then i vegged it for a little bit and took the 6500k ones down and put the 2700k back up.


I looked for one of those security blankets at walmart but i couldnt find thhem. Anyone know like an exact spot they should be in?

camping section. i think walmart carries em seasonally so it may not be a good time of year to get em there. a decent size sporting goods store would be your best be your best bet. like $2 and change. those are only good if heat isnt a problem. they're made to hold in the heat.

Heats not a prob really. Its about 78 with the lights on.

thats a good bushy plant you got there sir..you said it was just some reg..looks to me your doin pretty good. let us know how your progress is goin.

how old were they wen you put them into flower?
