Growing in a pc box

Just another update. I think we did 24/0 with the lights too long and the plants started overgrowing the pc box so we built this other box in the meantime. Also adding another bulb so there will be 4 lights now. The schedule has been 12/12 for 1 week now.

do you think 18/6 is to much light also in a pc? the strain is known for being a little lanky, but smaller yield.
 
uno look into light spectrums that promote short growth. I believe more blue light (especially the first couple weeks of flowering to try to keep that pre-flowering stretch at bay) is good for keeping plants nice n squat. You could have 24/0 on in a pc as long as you can keep the heat down..
 
Running 3 26w 6500k cfl, 1 26w 2700k cfl at the moment, i was gonna switch it around to 3- 2700 1-6500 wen kik it in flower, but maybe ill wait a week till i do. temps are no problem with the cfl's in a pc case. been running at 18/6 anyways for now. pic is in the party cup competition thread. still gotta move the lights up a little higher now, just lazy and havent gotten to it. I been workin on my $0 grow box..... 2- 100w HPS, 1-175w MH, 21x33x60" gonna stuff some CFL's in there also. everything has been free except a couple of CFL bulbs.

They could be lil aphids.. check the leaves regularly for any little brown dots crawling on them. If you see any they can mess up a crop pretty bad.. lady bugs do work on these critters and they love hanging out on the marijuana plant lol. Had a few on mine (which was in an open container) and they never left till she got harvested. Lady bugs are great lol FREE TOO! (if you can find them..lol)

My guess is you prolly are using Miracle grow soil too? shits notorious for having bugs...grows a big ass plant without having to do anything to it tho!
