Ok so this is basically gonna be my REAL first grow. the reason why i say real is because i tried before without as much knowledge and didn't succeed. So now I'm back again.

This time I'm going to use 2 clones (Og Kush) and 3 bag seed (UnKnown). Im really focused on the clones, i only planted the seeds because before i bought the clones i had already germanized them and didn't want to waist them. But anyways i have them under 6 23 watt cfl. ,Im going to transplant them into pots on the 2nd week into veg. I'm going to veg them for 3-4 weeks (24/0) start giving nutes around then 3rd week of veg . and for flower i would be using (12/12) light schedule. Im using dyna gro-grow for veg and dyna gro-bloom for flower.


Here are pics and i will also keep you guys updated weekly/daily with pics.

be sure not to let your plants grow to big or you will have a problem with only 6x23w cfl on 4 plants :). other than that, try to get a small occilating fan into your grow area :).

subbed! will be fun to follow :) you can PM me also if you want to ask about something :P. Im no expert, but i have 5+ years of growing experience :).

Best regards

Wrong spectrum of lights for veg, the should be 5000k to 6500k or around that temperature and not 2700k as that is for flowering.

you definitely can, but with more white/blue light your plants will become more sturdy and compact.
2700K for whole period works great, but if we are to talk optimal u want 4000K-10000K Veg and 2000K-3000K flower :)

Oh and CFL u need to have as close as possible to the tops. 1-2 inches is good :)

thanks a lot, ill check into getting another light. Maybe take away 2 of the 23 watt and add a 45 watt 6500k for veg.

sorry ilyaas123, gotta spread it around. *cough* rep whore *cough*

you can go with straight yellows, just get them as close to touching as possible. it'll help tighten things up. also might want to look into some reflectivity. good luck!

Try out some diamond mylar as it is extremely reflective and reflects light evenly creating no hot spots.

nothing important as it doesn't reflect the members true importance. just looks nice with a full rep meter.
btw I give you some.
Rep is the green bars to your left.
We used to have a thank button and I liked that better than this flawed rep system but as it seems we won't be getting it back.
