shitty lame setup

yeah just got a light from the trash and treasure (second hand) for pretty cheap, found some seeds and im just going to see what happens, not wanting to spend alot on it buy any advice for a cheap setup would be much appreciated. i am running it for 20 hours and 4 off for now. thanks

here are 2 pics of what i got

Hey, hope you're germin in coffee grounds, or you just threw off you over head! LOL

looks good but a little getto but thats ok just watch the heat with that cardboard

what kind of light r u useing?

from the color of the light it looks like a hps

ya i just wanted to make sure :0)
if u wanted to make this a cheap set up
u should go with cfl's save more money prolly and could have them closer to ur babys

i got the globes and everything for 40$ AUD that includes 3 bulbs, 2 reflectors, but i had to get the power off ebay but that was only 100$
ill move it a foot closer, i had it around 2 feet from the plants but they started to dry out and i had to cut some leafs off
Thanks for ur input

and me perssonally i wouldnt use those globes either just be cause they only know if that part at the end of the hole is dry not everywhere and they dont water everything either
and not evenly not good for only 1 patch of soil to get moist u need everything evenly moist.i just wouldnt take the chance of useing them

im poor they must be good for something, i will get a better set up when i can. But just for now they must be good for something

lol ya to wet one spot
jk
hey u got to do what ya got to do

i added a fan! and here is how my babies are doing now, seems to be working well, they have shot up 1"-2" after 3 days. hope all is going well

I cannot tell by the pics but do you have a fan on those babies ?

remove foil.....use mylar......foil can put burn spots in plants

ive seen very good stuff come from way worse a set up. you dont have to have your lights set up in the taj mahal you just need light soil. seeds. nutes and water. that doesnt look too bad. mine a god damd mess way worse but it works for me. talk about a ghetto mess check mine out.

is it just me OR are ALLL your plants stretching?
BRING the light closer

i was just about to write the same thing
ya they are stretchy

Remove that foil, If you cant get mylar just paint some wooden boards with flat white paint. Good luck mate.

i dont have foil anymore if ur talking to me look at the new pages in my journal
thats what im working with now

cool thanks removed all the foil and will paint the cardboard white tonight, thanks and ill move the light closer it will slowly get better with ur helps

Bro, enjoy the grow! Definately bring lights closer to plants. If you enjoy the grow enough, in time you will pick up bits and pieces for a better grow area. Keep shmokin'!
