check out my cfl grow cabnet

oh yea, Im a cfl grower now, brother i believe....
4 2700 k 100 watt cfls are being used to flower, 4 65k daylight bulbs were used to veg. and yea this is one of those plastic shoeboxes from walmart for 97 cents. a fish tank bubbler and an air stone. thats it . but i am using technaflora starter kit for nutes. this shit is the bomb. got almost three grows out of the kit. Oh and one other thing i dont worry about the ph or any of the ppm technical shit anymore and my plants do fine. When i first started i put way too much thought into growing. this is my easy as can be hydro.

Dude I hope you got a bigger space for flowering, if not you let those plants get WAY to big.

i know they hit the top of my cabnet already

i think they are 100 watt. i got them at walmart they are the ones that come in the blue package. when i put these into flowering they got this big. the were only like maybe a foot. I hope the don't get any taller lol.


Thanks for checkin out my post

the are in flowing stage now they have grow to almost touch the lights.

Nice i didn't think you could have such a small hydro resevoir but that's sweet! I'm so doing hydro next spring.

I don't see any buds forming yet so unfortunately for you they are going to get a LOT taller... better start studying up on the good old LST technique...

LST and supercrop it. Don't be afriad to abuse the plant, it might stunt it now but in the long run your plant will reward you for it.

Or you could take cuttings and create clones. Then you will have a SoG perpetual harvest as long as you know the plant is a female.

i cut rhe top of the plant off and reveged it now it is short fat and has nice colas all over it. I'm ready for my second harvest off this plant. i'm thinking of gettong a little bit bigger rez so the roots wont be compacted.

get the shorty rubber maids for crafts they work nice!! Good job keep plucken dem buds. I got a bunch if you want to gander its in my sig.. +rep

i suggest more lights. the least u should do is replace those 23w bulbs with 42w cfls for $10-12/each because your stems look very stringy. your buds will be fluffy if u dont take action soon

Your gonna need more light. Get the lights as close to the plants as possible an inch or 2 separation is all you need.

Edit: just realized this is an older thread

Haha. Nice roots!
Simplest hydro-system EVER!
I am going to try this once I get somewhere where constant bubbling sounds aren't a concern.
Keep growin'!
