I'm growing a single plant (unknown strain), under a 13 watt cfl bulb.

I know its a tiny amount of light, but how far do you think i could get with this little light?
 
mayb 2 or 3 leaf sets lol
Well this is what im looking at right now.
Is it doing okay?

I know its bad for it to be in a clear container cause light kills the roots, but thats not really a concern at the moment.

no honestly it looks pretty good go to walmart and get 3 40 watt 6500k lights! theyre pretty cheap lol. but yea i mean it really looks good for 13 watts and yes grab a 3 gallon pot while your there. not clear lol
 
you can actually veg a good little bit with that bulb i had one veg for about a month before i noticed growth slowing. Also my bulb was 2700k
 
um ya thats pretty nice for 1 13w bulb i dont think you need to go add 45$ in 40w lights just yet lol. hell with how thats going just keep adding 13w bulbs around it as it grows till you wanna flower. oh and the container aint a big deal just throw some tape around it and tada no more clear container
 
Just get a short but Wide pot at like lowes or wally world : )

Great job so far though!

So my plant is now a month old, 13W cfl since sprouting. No nutes.

I've recently moved the plant into a bigger container because the roots seemed to have outgrown the previous container.

I want to add more lights but I find it hard considering that I have nothing to hang the lights from. I'm using a cardboard box for the grow area. 1 square foot wide and 2 feet tall.

very nice man. be creative. im using a cooling rack now. but b4 i used an aluminum baking pan. it worked well.
 
go to lowes and get a "Y Socket Splitter". That way you can fit 2 lights per socket you have. Their only like 1.88$

Thanks for the advice, I might do that in a bit.
I may get stronger lights also, since I plan on putting it into the flowering cycle soon.

LMAO.. yeaaa.. you deff proved him wrong.. lol. but yea your plant does look pretty good.. its actually scary how much alike your plant looks just like mine.. lol. heres a link to my grow journal.. mines about the same age.. well just about 3 weeks. (3 weeks tomorow Tues. Nov. 24th to be exact) but keep us updated.. i wanna see how far along you come with your plants.. i think you can make it.. you'd be suprised at how much will a weed plant has to grow. lol

Good Luck!!:bigjoint:
 
Nice plants chb444220, they do look pretty similar.

I'm just posting up some pictures of my box, the light is hanging from some string. Keep in mind, I cant put holes in this box so everything is tied to something outside the box.

The Y splitter wont fit on the current socket im using because of the reflective hood. Although i might find an alternative. Advice?
