    she was looking much better after repotting her that I brought the CFLs about 4 inches away. I'm growing in coco coir with some perlite on the bottom, last watering was 4/25 when I repot. shes drinking enough so I will give hydro grow veg nutrients and I'm thinking of molasses, I have read some threads that in coco its not needed. any thoughts? I am looking to turn to 12/12 either between 4/10-4/15.

  3. coco coir was dry so I added 1 tsp hydro grow foliage, 3/4 tsp calmag and half tsp molasses to a gallon of tap water that sat 24 hours.i let the water run off and ph before was 5.0 runoff was 6.0. grow lights are back down to about 5 inches away.

  4. thought that I overfed but she looks good. now the next watering will just be PHd water. and then I'm hoping to put her in flower mode

  5. My set up. I made this grow lamp from a flue that I bent and reshaped to a cheap bathroom wall fixture. I attached them together with wire coat hangers and hung it from chains and hooks to closet rail. the closet is 3x2x10. the CFLs are 2 42W daylight and 4 40W each CFL equals 150 Watts. For flower I will add 2 side clamp lamps. each socket I put socket splitters to carry 2 bulbs each. But she seems to be doing well for my first time.
