Looks good so far, what are your lights? And how close are they?

2x 26 w and 2x 7 w pics will show placement i will add more when needed

ps i have one more 26 watt cfl in the middle of the 3 pots with sprouts

nothing wrong with bagseed man , gl with your grow ..your on your way. temps and everything sound good ..but a carbon filter ? shouldnt need that just yet.is that foil ? if so you should get an emergency blanket ,you will get better reflection,and they are cheap. peace

it's hard to see you pics. they are very small when i click them........
But if you have foil on the wall you need to take that off!
It will cause hotspots on the plants and burn them bad.
You def. won't need a carbon finter anytime soon, my bagseeds are in the 7th week of veg and no smell, won't need that for awhile. Mylar is the best thing, but those blankets work just the same it's whatever you decide on for your budget.

yea sorry about the pics i dont know whats up with them and yes it is foil but is on the top of my ghetto setup so there is no light in it yet but yea i do need to get an emergency blanket does any one know how much they cost? as for an update the temps are in the mid 70s and humidity is about 45% lights are on 18/6 and now there are 4 little babies growing since one sprouted over the course of the day and the 3 from yesterday are about 2 inches or so due to streching and the first sets of true leafs are growing rapidly anything else you guys would like to know just ask comments welcome!

heres an update temp is 75f humidity is 45% some streaching still but im working on that... heres the pics

sorry im working on getting a camera

but anyways heres a little update one plant was murderd by my lights so im down to 3 and there all going strong and i fixed the light problem i got a camera and i am working on getting it to work

ok so heres an update.... all 3 plants are working on there second set of leafs and there all looking healthy and happy im a bit worried though because the soil im using has nutes in it for like 9 months or something but ill deal with that if a problem arises any advice on how to avoid it? thanks

What's Up Kronic! Definitely do the CFL's! Get the 250w 8u from ebay. The 8u stands for the number of loops you see at the end of the lights. Some bulbs have 4 or 6. The more loops the more light and lumens. Think about this...to equal a 400w HID, you'll need:
10 x 55w CFL......OR
5 x 125w CFL......OR
3 x 250w CFL......OR
42 x 4ft 40w Flourescents......OR
84 x 60w Incandescents

Any one of these combinations is about 50,000 Lumens, which is what the STANDARD 400w HPS gives off (600W=80,000 AND 1,000W=140,000). A STANDARD MH at 400w is 30,000 to 36,000 lumens. If you check out the LED lights, you'll notice that when they mix the red and blue, the ratio of red to blue is approx. 8:2 because a LITTLE blue light actually helps with flowering. This means if you're going to run 3 of the 250w RED CFL's for flowering, run 2 instead WITH a 125w CFL BLUE. That's a total of 625w, which means 20% of that is 125w...which the BLUE CFL gives EXACTLY. Hope this helps. For those in doubt, do the homework first. Also, search for, "250w CFL" on this site. There's a guy that just grew some bangin' smoke by doing exactly what I just said. He grew WW and NL....4 plants total I believe. They all looked to be at least 3 to 3 1/2 feet tall at harvest. He also posted many picks from beginning to end. Trust me, this is going to be the new way to grow, plus the LED's too. Very low heat and less problems. AND Po-Po can't pick up all the heat on infra-red!

yep ,cfls the way to go in a stealth ,never really worry about fires or too much heat and when your buying the lights you wont lookk sus buying cfls ,my buds werent that plentiful but if you saw the space i managed to squeeze 2 plants and all those cfls and a fan into........i enjoyed the smoke and was proud...when i own my home its deffinitely going to be hps grown green sticky monsters tho

ok so heres an update.... all 3 plants are looking nice and healthy and greeeeeen i started an experiment with one of my plants testing out my nutes sorry bout the lack of pics but all 3 plants are going great growing there second set of leaves and there all about 4 inches tall now ill get pics up as soon as i can

ok so here are some pics there prolly shity but here they are

pic one is of my youngest shes now the same size as her sisters
pic two is of the oldest sister and shes looking healthy and happy
pic three is of the middle sister and shes slowly out growing her 2 sisters
