I already fucked up and put the seedling directly in Fox Farm OF. And its got nute burn. But its only 4 days old so im sure it will adjust. My bad of miracle grow rooting soil went missing (which I find to work great) my first indoor so. Anf I only have one outdoor season so.

Dude, let's hope she recovers. THE most common mistake is over-fertilizing. Personally, I never fert with Anything until the seedlings are at least 1-2 wks old. Good luck and happy growing !

I actually dug it up last night and put it in a peat pod. And it completely recovered over night and already looks much better! gave it a nice water and it seems to have grown a few centimetres over night the pod is planted in a peat container with some fox farm on the outside I tore the sides and used an elastic so when its strong enough to go in the 4 gal in the incubator theres no real transplant probably will go in a week or 2.

My current set up is a twin hood 2*300w duel spec cfl and a single lid cfl with the same rating as the twin hood i am growing in a 2.4 1.2 2.0 tent and the plants i am growing are 2 cotc cc auto feminized and a silver haze and a nycd. all are vedging great 5 weeks in and all is well. the great thing about cfl to other lights is the electric expense is reduced and the heat signature is less than traditional lights like hps and mh etc...am a very happy cfl grower and would recommend it. Hi thx for you interest am posting pics prior to me putting up my double header cfl will upload pics of that tomorrow.

I started with some LED's only. My grow TOOK OFF when i added some big CFL's. Now I'm considering ditching the LED's altogether. Confident in the CFL's now, and won't miss that continuous buzz of the 6 muffin fans AT ALL.

Nice cozy setup...

thanks dude! to be honest i made pretty much exactly what you did. i tihnk i was skimming RIU for ideas and came across yours and it worked best for my fitment. thanks dude! credit to you for sure!

 

[gardengardian7]

Thanks for the encouragment. You get the credit for just being such a kind grower. Im going to build some different fixtures future wise. I just ordered me a 125w cfl 2700k for side lighting and (2( 85w 5500k fir side lighting to help enhance bud pro and a dehumidy but temps have been awsome without though but i still want one just to be ahead in that area. But i do love CFL though.... Just woke her up.

 

[crawlintbss]

Damn that is looking nice! Yeah im about time to need the bulb extenders to spread teh light out. everyone is reaching up and to the center to much.

Think i may add in a few more bulbs at least until i get all 4 plants sexed and see who is staying! Just got my power bill at the new house and found out my electric is .07/kwh cause of how old the location is!!! WOW! I think im gonna add alot more light!

Keep it up CFLers!

 

[gardengardian7]

Hope you get all ladies.... Thanks for the compliment bro.

 

[krazet]

[gardengardian7]
