Hey guys this is my first grow i have a 2'wide x 1' deep x 2'tall small cab i fixed up
i have 3 exhaust pc fans and currently have 2 23w 6500k cfls i have more but wont add them in till later
Strain. Delicious seeds - Cotton Candy

she sprouted 6-19 shes been growing slow due to my lack of knowledge in growing and had her outside in the middle of a heat wave in 90F+ weather once i moved her in the growth had been rapid she i currently on 18/6 light cycle might veg her untill august and move her outdoor since im not in a hurry to smoke due to legal issues
fell free to comment
ps. anyone have any experience with this strain or World of Seeds - Afghan Kush & Barneys Farm - Liberty Haze???

you might want a light set up that hangs and is easy to change the height

How old are your girls? the lights are fine for now, aslong as you can keep raising the pots to the light as she grows youll be good

there actually 16 days old there growth was stunted when it was outside in the heat wave. thanks i think ill be able to lst her to fit into the box. im having a little trouble maintaining the temps down they are around 84-88F wish i can lower them about ten degrees. im thinking of getting a 22w 65cfm fans maybe one or two for exhaust would do and a pc fan i already have in as an intank.

UPDATE: Hello just a quick update for all the homies & home girls i changed the set up on the ventilation on my grow. I took out the three exhaust fans and replaced it with only one huge 85 cfm exhaust fan so i can easily attach a carbon filter to just one exhaust fan and i got a normal sized pc fan as intank. My girl Dulce(Cotton Candy) has been growing fine and beautiful i already see roots at the bottom of the pot they look ivory white and fuzzy does that sound good???

UPDATE: i transplated my plant into a larer pot yesterday i was amazed at the size of the roots there were 8-12 inches long and they were crammed up inside that small 4" pot. she starting on her 4th set of leaves now and gaining some height finally I also added another 23watt 6500k cfl so theres a total of 69w now. I also picked up the Grower's Bible by Jorge Cervantes

My soils ph is 6.9 is that fine? My medium is 60% peat moss and 40% perlite
I decide that I'm going to through up some chicken wire to do a SoG but dont know how high above the plant it should be

6.9 is very good. As far as scrog goes wait until the plant matures some more.

UPDATE: Dulce leaves has been getting bigger and wider and i can see sets of leaves shotting out from were the leaves and the main steam connect.
the 4th set of leaves came out being five bladed while the first three were 3 bladed looks pretty cool and for the new node shooting out i fucked up trying to look at it with a 60x-100x handheld microscope but smashed one of the leaves of the set. there growing fine but one just missing the tip of its leaf(you can see in pic). will see how it comes out looking in a couple of days
Im think of getting an 100w blackstar led light what do you people think of that.http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-100W-6Band-Lighthouse-Blackstar-2w-LED-Grow-Light?item=290622447667&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D633776618608244683&autorefresh=true#ht_9450wt_1037

UPDATE: Okay i hope people are following this grow and i just not risking my ass posting this shit. I put up a Screen so i can work my plant through it to get huge yield hopefully and maybe it would help keep the plant from out growing the cab. Also my Barney Farms- Liberty Haze popped up i know there's quite a age diffrence between the Cotton Candy and the Liberty haze but i plan to throw them both into flower when ever the Cotton Candy is ready.

looking good! but now that you've put the SCroG net up, your plants seem to be a bit far from the light.

Looking good! But I think you should move your net up a few inches. And as for your plant being far from the light, I don't think you'll have a problem. The way my set up is, I cant move the lights either and even with the lights about a foot away, I havent had any issues with streching. Check out my grow dude! I'm subbed.
