First Grow EVER. (CFL)

Well this is my First GROW. I have started an Album in my profile for some more pics. I will upload all photos to that as well.

Today I upgraded to 6 CFL's and removed the foil from the walls. Im going to give it about 1 more week and then I am going to 16/8. I think I lost one from the transplants into there final homes. I NUTED/Watered it and stabilized it. Hope she comes back. I think most of the roots got pulled apart in the move. Lets hope for the best

Hoping for the best!

Peace

nice soo far i like the fact you used diffrent spectrum cfls but your gonna need more light bro

Already on its way. WED

Another setup exactly like I have will be going in on WED, maybe tomorrow we will see.

Currently putting out 12,900 lumens. So that will double and I also have 3 OTT Lights that produce around 800 lumens each.

BTW Changed my mind. Going to get a 400W HPS ! Should be in a couple of weeks!!!

For now i went out and got 6 more Y connecters to add to my already 6 bulbs. Now i have a total of 9 14W (800 lumens) CFL Daylight Bulbs.+ 3 42W (2700 lumens) CFL soft Bulbs. Making a total of 15,300 Lumens. This should get me untill i order my 400W HPS.

Photo 3
This is how I blow fresh air into my closet.

Photo 4
I used cardboard and duck tape. This pushes the airflow up and into the room. The blanket sits right on the edge of the cardboard so the fan only pushes it to the right of the door, leaving the left for the exit. Works great!

Picture update !!!!

Tomorrow I am ordering my new 400W HPS light. Also my Carbon filter and 4inch Inline Fan.

Start VEG mode tomorrow, 18/6 hopefully in a few weeks ill find out that my little girls are little girls!! wish me luck

nice grow dude. check out the journal in my sig. its my very first too.

MORE GREAT NEWS. 400W HPS WILL BE HERE THURSDAY !!!!!!!!! I also decided to use ONA Block for an odor remover (my grow will not be big enough to actually use the carbon filter, so i cut it out. . I got a 6 ounce block for free from the place i ordered my light from. What a great deal. 140 bucks w/ shipping + my ONA 6 ounce block. Woo-hoo

UPDATE. Ill get some photos up soon. Turns out my 400w HPS will be 1 more week to get here. BUMMER. I upgraded to 2 light fixtures hanging in the closet now. Gets the light closer and is more efficent. They will have to stay on the CFLS for alittle longer! They are getting big now! I still can't wait for them to tell sexes, but its gunna be about 1 month for that. Ill get back to some pics soon

PICs! Sorry for the lack of update. My computer busted! Fixed now! So I order FoxFarm Trio nutes and 25ft of milar. I have spent almost 400 on my room now. Ill take pictures when everything is done (i still havent gotten the HPS light here) Company is moving warehouse locations and it should be here no later then this friday. It is going to be overnighted here. Plants are around 30 days old.

Nutrients arrived today. Im pretty sure I am in love. Fox Farm Trio (3pack). The ladies are doing fantastic, im expecting 4males/6females. This is only by the looks of the plants. I hope for more but we will see in the next few weeks. I start flowering on Sept 10th 12/12 Schedual. (unless they get super big ill start earler) Ill take pictures when my 400w HPS comes.
