Small CFL Setup

till you can

get some ...

Here's a few pics of my ghetto rig. It's kinda like yours. I used coke cans for reflectors.. It's about as ghetto as ghetto can be, but it's working thus far.

It's pretty much a powerstrip with the 26watt CFL bulbs.

2 bulbs go into the splitter, splitter goes into the socket adapter. 6 bulbs total on that strip there. I cut the coke cans ends off and leave that tapered end on the drinking side, then you cut wings into the can and just clamp it around the CFL ballast.

oh ok that cleared it up Therion. i still say u get a camera that isnt just VGA resolution in the future lol.

People keep asking me. "Dude, why dont you take pictures of your shit."

I'm like "Dude, my webcam is from like 2002. It's a piece of shit. My regular digital camera has no cable!"

And they see the pictures the webcam makes and they're like "Oh, well, that's gay."

buy a 5 dollar cable on ebay

UPDATE: OMG! another seeds has popped out its little head. and the sprout i was talking about earlier has gotten bigger. it looks like im doing pretty well. my cab is staying steady at 80F and i pour some water into the bottom of the bucket once a day for moisture content, also staying steady at 45-50% with no major fluctuations. pics coming up. i dont know if there is any hope for my WW#3 seed it had just cracked when i planted it, no big root to speak of, but im keeping it in there to bake just incase. however WW#1 and 2 are gettin r done

L.....o......l

aight so i changed things up today. i decided to germ another seed seeing as my WW#3 was a bust. im doing the paper towel one this time to see if i get a faster result. and i also took out my warm white bulb in the box. now i have the one 42watt daylight bulb spreading the love upon my 2 existing little ones.
picture one is of my two lovely kids. just days old. the one on the right has a longer stem than the other, but sprouted a day after. iono it may be stretched?
picture 2 is of the new setup as of now. they are getting a lil closer to the bulb then before, but are missing the warm white light.
lemme know what you think

ok so i added a wimpy little 14w daylight bulb yesterday just for kicks. not sure if that would help any but hey it was small enough so why not.
What kind of progress should i be looking at for this stage. seems to me everytime i check not a whole lot of expansion is going on. i think they are both roughly 2-3 inches tall but still have the first sets of leaves. iono if thats slow for these because ive seen another cfl grow with ww and that guys journal has major growth with the same # of plants as me. i guess adding another 42watter might speed things up.

you really gotta watch how much you water too.. that could be a problem and then also depending on the soil you might need a change too.. what kind of soil are you using?

i dont water hardly ever so far. and the soil im using is just potting soil with perlite and some sand.
