Will this be ok? 2 42w cfls =300w

can I grow from this point (a little over a week in flowering) to bud?

Rgr I second that but why the net or fan gaurd? I'm thinking the lights could be a lot closer and yeah ad a few more cfls that will definitely help..

well im afraid the leaves will get too close to the lights.... its been flowering for probably 8 days... and this is all the room/cfls im able to fit into the box.... im trying to keep this a stealth grow/experimental grow... think it would be safe to take the guard away and put it on a book?

=\ i just want it to turn out right

Yeah I think it would be safe to take away the guard also wouldn't hurt to lower them lights a bit, that is if you have good air circulation/ventilation, I did noticed comp fans, how's that working for you?

they are working well, only 1 is a comp fan, the others are like them but smaller and pack more power, i have 3 sucking air in and 1 sucking air out, mostly to just keep the lights fairly cool and the plant moving... I might be adding more because of the new bulb...

I think it looks great for a little stealth plant,very healthy and not stretched.
One thing to note though is whether those exact cfls are any good for the flowering stage,what spectrum are those bulbs?:blsmoke:

i think you wasting your time, using them lite for 12/12. unless you get loads of them.
plus do you know the sex of the 1 plant. why only one. looks good so far.

plus it would be better to paint the walls flat white, then you wont get heat spots, plus the lite will bounce around better.

the reason its only 1 is because of the laws here, seems like you get a year per plant... I had more but I narrowed it down by health until I got this one

Ive seen plants grown under less on other forums... and I think 300w is ok... most people just say what they think would work instead of trying it, I had 3 under 1 42 and one 23 and they all flourished nicely. With all do respect I think im only wasting my time if its a male, and if it is, so be it. Im young I have plenty of time, and I think for a first grow the plant looks realy healthy... and if it does turn out to be male I can practice cloning on it, so I can be better prepared for future grows...

And the white walls, I have that under the reflective shit. Would it be better to switch back?

the spectrum? I dont know where to look.... all is see is H4 and 2700 lumens each... they are warm lit, give off an orange-ish yellow glow

Something is wrong.... hopefully it won't get worse...

Are you ph ing your water?

Are you feeding your plant?

I see soft leaves.. could be from over watering...

cheers

keep the pics coming... she does look good.. but I see some red flags that should be followed closely...

i thought that for scroggin u have to have a screen that has big enough holes for the plant to grow through and then tie the plants as they grow????????:confused::confused:

haha i said im not doing scrog at the top of this page... =_=

Garden knowm the leaves are bent down because my lights dont stay flat like -- they are dropping down / \ so the leaves dropped down to match them....

and nope, i havent fed this plant anything, and im not sure of the the ph either, it comes from our fountain, the 5 gallon purified water jugs, where u can pick room temperature or cold water...

a couple leaves were cut slightly due to moving around but the leaves feel like thin plastic... and i stick my finger down about an inch in the dirt if its dry them i water...

2700 is the correct lumens for flowering. Im in the testing phase also and i got 3 2700k and 3 5500k. Almost 4 weeks into flowering and i got bubs and long inch soild white hairs looks rather sexy. Its also grown 4-5 inches in the last 3 days or so =p

hope you get many big buds with your flos, like everyone else on all the other forums. good luch with your grow, and i hope also your plant isnt male.
have you got a med. lic. or can everyone just grow 1 plant, for the own personel use?.
i dont understand.
so you say i can grow 1 plant. who said that.?.
plus everyone in were ever your from are all growing just one plant, weather its male or not ?, you can only grow one plant?.
is this so. where you from?.

haha no man, I'm just saying that if i were to get cought, i dont want to have more then one plant because of the laws.

And I didnt mean to come across as rude, I was just saying im a first timer at this so I dont care about how big or how potent the yield is, you know?
