CFL grow. First time.

1000toes

Member
I started a building a small cubed box to grow in. Im running four 26 watt cfls right now.
I have an bigger intake fan coming from the bottom and a small bus driver fan blowing out the top. I plan on getting rid of some of these seeds, i just wanted to make sure some of them are gonna be female.
Here is day 2 and 3.
The clone is Chocolope, the taller seed is Purple Haze and the two other seeds popping up are Cat Piss.
I do plan on making this box taller once these babies start doing better.
Any comments are readily accepted. im learning here so help me out.

15"x15"x15". Its a 3 cube shelf system that you can take apart. I plan on moving it down at least one more shelf or even the bottom one. I just have one fan on the bottom blowing A/C air into it to cool it down. It was up to 86F in there before i put the fan on the bottom.
 
I found the shelf i was looking for and moved the babies closer to the lights. I will update tomorrow.

ya your gonna need to make it taller and even still theres only room for 2 maybe 3 plants and ull probably want some more light even if its just a couple 42watt cfls...what is the reflective stuff it kinda looks like it could give u heat issues
 
I planned on adding more. Do you know how much those 42 watts run? And the reflective stuff is just some window reflectors for your car i had laying around. Im switching to mylar i just havnt gotten to the store yet.
 
I moved the shelf down one and moved the other light strip to the top. The Chocolope clone seems to be growing a new leaf or two on the top every night and is starting to stink a little bit. All the seeds have popped. The purple haze is the biggest seedling and the 3 Cat piss are getting just as big.
throw anything at me if im doing anything wrong or the plants look bad. Im starting this off cheap and going as i get money. has anyone ever worked with UFO LED"s in micro containers like this?
