Hey GC I'm finally back for another round. I'm long over due for another thread!! I've learned a lot, and this time instead of one I'm going to do two this time. I have a larger closet this time, so I figured why not. Unfortunately I sold my 150w HPS, so I'm starting with some CFL's. I have each plant in separate pots, and one has a 30w Bright White, 23w Daylight, and a 14w Soft White. On the second I have just a 30w Bright White & a 23w Daylight. This is all temporary, until I can get some more money. I plan on buying a 400w Sunlight System in the near future. I think that would be more then any for the size of the closet. The closet is about 36"x48"x10'. I will still use my CFL's even after purchasing the HPS though. My temperature is around 75f, and my humidity is about 47% right now. I already have two sprouts in each pot, that are about a week old. I lined the closet floor with plastic before setting everything up as well.. Let's see how I do......
If anyone is interested in looking at my past grow, here's a link. http://forum.grasscity.com/micro-grows/1102548-aquarium-micro-grow.html
Okay well I added a 65 watt Soft White CFL to the plant that only had the 30w & 23w on it. Now this light is fucking huge!! I couldn't believe how big it is!! I'll take some pictures when i can, i was too anxious to set it up and forgot to. I did get some of the sprouts for y'all. They're about a week old.
Here's a pic of what my room is sitting at right now. I try keep it around this area, but it seems hard to do so at some points of the day. I might have to purchase something to dehumidify the room, and during the hot points of the day my room reaches 82 degrees max. It's usually around 75 though. I know when i start my 12/12 light cycle, I will be doing lights after dark for temperature reasons.
Nice little plant. Lights are a good height you could maybe put them even closer to reduce stretching. I'm interested to see where this goes I just started a crop too. Keep us updated.
Yea I know this difference will cause stretching. I'm not worried about them getting tall. I have plenty of space for that. Here is an update pic of the little ladies.
Well things seem to be going smooth. Plants are doing good, & not requiring much maintenance. He's an update pic of my best one
How old are these plants? They are coming along nicely! Edit: just read above. Like a week and a couple days. But they are lookin awesome! I'll be lurking for sure
Thanks man, things are nice with the little ones right now. They are getting so big, so quick!! I'll try to post pics at least every other day.
Okay well the plants are doing alright. I have one that is just exploding in size, and one that is going much slower... These pictures were taken yesterday. I pulled the lights away a little on the smaller one, and it seems to be getting taller now.
The big one is still just booming!!! This thing is already starting to get stinky too!! The little one is struggling, but finally looks like it's growing... Not really sure what to do with it yet lol. Here's some update pics.
I'm waiting to plant my good seeds for when i get better equipment. Also planning on doing Sub Cool's Super Soil method soon.
Alright well I'm way over due for an update, but I have been very busy lately, and you guys aren't very responsive to my post. Anyways, I'll keep posting for awhile. Things are going great!!! The bigger plant is just getting crazy big everyday!!! The smaller plant FINALLY started acting right!! I added another cfl to the mix & moved some things around a little bit for better lighting, & access. Anyways, here you go guys..... Let me have some input people!!!
Man that first one....I got a reallll good feeling about her. The second one should catch up too. Keep up the good work!
Okay, well i did a little LST on the bigger lady. The little one is really doing much better now!! Confuses the shit out of me, but I'm just happy it's growing now!!
