Small CFL Setup

[SzechwanChicken]

ok. i was getting paranoid. but they are progressing. sank to the bottom so i do know that they are filling up. i was just worried if maybe i put them in the wrong place or some stupid shit that was causing them to be slow

I love this cabinet grow of yours. I'm cramped for space as well so I can sympathize!

i got them from bcseedking.com. being canadian and all, i thought it would be best to get a canaidan company. i looked for a couple of other sites like the vancouverseedbank or vancouver island seed company but i settled on bcseedking.

thanks. what kind of dimensions are you playing around with

 

[yellobes]

I am growing on a micro scale too. I was wondering about spotlight cfl's?
furthermore, I was wondering where one might go about getting a studio light reflector.

probs the wrong fourm, but this will bump this thread anywho

Power to the minigrowers!

what do you mean by spotlight CFL's? ones used for stages? i have no clue. And a studio light reflector? what the hell, you planning a photoshoot or a growroom buddy? if your looking for reflectors for your lights just use a chopped in half pop can if you have no money. line the walls with mylar or paint them white. i see no use for a studio light reflector. (if its the thing im picturing in my head)

LOL. still bigger than mine. i might just have one of the smallest spaces to grow in on this entire site. dang it man, i need a better area. but for now its all i got. have to hide it from the rents for now, and it doesnt help we have construction going on in the house with electricians, plumblers and such. bummer.

I'd seriously consider not doing the grow until all that activity is gone. Dealing with rents is one problem in itself, having extra people working in the house tends to complicate things a bit further.

But you've already started. So all I can say is make sure they can't smell it. Carbon filters, rock salt crystals, whatever floats your boat. Just get that smell dealt with.

 

[SzechwanChicken]

i wont have to worry about smell for a while. like i said im only just germinating them right now. construction should end in a bit. but yea i have a makeshift carbon filter. went to a department store and bought*winkwink* a fish tank filter. not alot of carbon in there so i *purchased* some more refills for it. not its nice and full, about the size of a small kitchen wash cloth. how long do these things last i wonder. OoooooOooo i should upload a pic

 

[SzechwanChicken]

Oh yea, nice Baz. in the same boat. we can only dream of having more space. o the joys of a free closet......hummmmmmmm

 

[SzechwanChicken]

im approaching day 3 of germinating, but only 1 of my seeds appears to have started cracking. they better step it up

 

[Scroogeness]

so how are you germinating, i looked back but couldnt see where or if you posted it. but i did paper towel method and today was day 3 and 9 seeds germed out of 11. so i recommend germing them with the paper towels between some plates

 

[SzechwanChicken]

i have mine in a coffee mug

 

[Scroogeness]

yea, doing that method i think it does take longer. i did it once and it was just starting to crack day 2, but they weren't long tails at all when i put them in soil. so be patient if you can haha

 

[SzechwanChicken]

o ok. i just checked mine again. all of them seem to be cracking slightly at one end. i can definetly see some white stuff on the inside, but no tails yet

 

[Scroogeness]

okay well thats the important part, that they at least crack open. the tails will grow eventually.

 

[SzechwanChicken]

how long do the tails need to be? or is it just at any point when they develop a tail its ok to plant
