First Grow-CFL Grow-Check it-Pictures-

This is my first grow im almost three weeks into it. i planted my baby on march 13th. she's doing well in my opinion. my space is about 19inches high 19inches wide and 36inches deep. mad small spot but its working. i got two 26w CFL's 6500k daylight. im not planning on growing mad plants back there. just babying them until they're strong enough for outside. i may put them in a bigger metal cabinet which is big enough for budding. but anyways. it gets about 80-85 degrees F back there. im working off a 18 on and 6 off light ratio. i used a piece of a coat hanger to hold my baby straight up so it won't droop. i thought it was a pretty good idea. anyways here's pictures of the setup and my baby. feel free to comment.

yea. decided to show you guys cause its new.

She's grown a lot in the past few days. she has a few yellow spots that im not sure how they got there. help on that would be nice. but uhh other than that i only see a few little nats but not too many bugs. so far so good. anyways. here she is. enjoy.

Love the nativity scene in the background of 1 of yer pics
Looks like ya got a nice, tight set up, brah! Wat state ya in & wen ya puttin em outside?
Feel free to check out my bagseed grow in my sig. I got a few that I put outside in that 1!

haha theres a thermometer attached to it lol but aiight i will

i can plant in june. its mad cold here still

Sweet set-up man, this is almost exactly what I want, but I may have to deal with a more confined space but its cool, I only want one plant for my first try. But the question at hand is would you lower/raise the wattage of the CFL's? I have 2 laying around my house, but the read, 120V, 15W and 3500K, could a couple of these suffice, for a single plant ?(chances are Northern Lights)

well i have two 26w 6500k cfls on one plant. for veg you want higher kelvin and flower lower kelvin. so i would just get two 26w 6500k cfl. 6500k is key.

Common misunderstanding! 6500K is NOT needed, ya can do it all w/2700K, I done proved it

can i do it all with 6500k?

Nope

schanp. whatever. so when i go to flower i shouldnt use the 6500k cfls at all?

no use the 2700k (red spec.) Bright Effects sells them in two packs at Lowes for a little over $6 bucks, 7 after taxes..

edit: i'd keep one of the 6500k in there with atleast 2 @ 2700k

Ya can use em, ya can use all the 6500's ya got. BUT ADD @ least 2 x's as many 2700's to yer flower as ya have 6500's. Then, ya will be aight!

aiight thanks yo.
