CFL closet grow (cheeeeap grow)
- Thread starter Thivi11
- Start date
good plan! I started with just 1 light on my mine until I had a couple of nodes on it and then I put one light for each leaf (yeah a little much some would say, but others would say ot enough. Now I have abotu 16 node sites and I've stopped at 5 lights in a sort of glass cocoon around the plant and it is doing fine. I got those same spots on my first set of true leaves and I freaked out until the leaf started to grow and now it is barely noticeable against all the rest of the green. Like the other cat said, just back off your lights and give them enought air. Good luck
Day 4 - new pics
the grow box (freshly wrapped with shiny wrapping paper):
plant one (you can see in the foreground on the plant, the tiny orange-y spts) is the plant going to die or will they go away
plant 2, still growing strong
inside of box with plants and all
The plans stems are a little sketchy looking but i think it's just because they've been growing for the light and i keep turning them. I also added a piece of cardboard beside the hole where the fan was blowing, to direct some air towards that plant and maybe encourage the stem to strengthen (ill probably just alternate which plant sits there everyday)
How's it looking? Suggestions?

Putting it simply.... I see a little green which means a few things. Small. Cheap. Simple. Effective! Goodwork!
One can hope for nothing more than to see a little green baby staring up at you from your planter... Unless your either in a porno or an alien movie. The first one is a bit anticlimactic and the second is just really scary after the proboscis appears...
Take care of those kids!

Same
So for the 4th or 5th time, are the yellow spots light brns or what?
Today I topped up the pots with some Schultz soil with a time release nutes, I also started using a very diluted solution of Miracle Grow liquid fertilizer for house plants. I know you shouldn't use nutes when they're young but I used a really small amount, and if anything happens I'm just going to stop.
