Starting a new CFL grow , one or two silly questions

[Andre K_]

Whats up guys

Got a small cfl box with some seedlings in at the moment.

I currently have 5 seedlings and have about 100watt of cfl lighting. Will probably add one more bulb for flowering.

Ok so I know very limited lighting , but thats what i will have to make do with for now.

Should i put the seedlings straight into flowering now or give them 10 - 12 days in veg ? Would it make any difference ?

They are about 4 days old today. As you can see my box is small and so my aim will be to keep em short.

Second question , I am in the southern hemisphere where summer is almost here , i cannot put these plants outside on a permanent basis , but will be able to give them warm sun for 10 or so hours on many days during flowering, would that make any difference in the quality or yield or would the constant change from cfl to sunshine light be negative for the plant?

Not looking for a huge yield , just looking to have some fun.

Appreciate any help or advice. Cheers

You dont have enough space for five plants. Look into the cab section as you need to keep them short, really short. I would do one plant. top oncethe. LST. As soon as some shoots start up, flip and pray. People do it with no height, but it baffles me.

Yeah, u have no room whatsoever!! I wouldn't start until I had a better set up. It is almost, excuse me, ridiculous, to waste time, effort and money with no room for a decent set up. The "norm" is 1 plant per square foot, which you might have room for. But, you don't have enough room vertically to attempt to grow there. good luck what ever you decide.

^^^ like GrowinDad said, that's too many plants for a small box
LST will let you cram a plant in small space
and the inside/outside can work, but it can also bring in insect pests

Thanks for the reply Dad lol. I agree 5 plants would never work in there , just hoping i get 1 female maybe 2 out of those few seedlings to work with from there. Will have a read up on LST thanks.
