Yes, should do. You only have 3.5 feet right?

[pothead18]

I'd go with 3 gal then. But my little one is around 5 days too...your plants are RAGING compared to mine. Just got the temps down from 88 to 80 so hopefully she will pick up

But still lookin good!

thanks man, im surprised how fast they started. i only have half the veg lights on to. one i go to the 6" square pots i have ill flip them all on, then it should get crazy

right on man looks good

Looking great for day 5 man. I agree with sppoc, 3 gal grow bags should work out fine for 2-3 foot plants. Home many cfls are you gonna be running after you repot them?

for veg im gunna use 2 55w 2700 4 23w 5000 4 23w and 4 26w 2700

for flower. 2 55w 2700 and up to 20 26w 2700

Oh nice man. That should be enough lights.

 

[Sppoc]

and up to 20 26w 2700

jesus hahaha atttaaa boy!

you should be getting decent yeild man, if my math is right (my money is it isnt lol, fuck you mr. hughs) you have close to 15000 lumens per sq ft. thats pretty damn good, those 26 watters are damn efficient.

wait wait wait the 26 watters are 2700 lumens? thats 103.8 lumens per watt which is insane for cfls... can you link me to the ones you have? or are you sure theyre 26w 2700 lumens?

your soil mix must be a little to hot for these little ladies taking the brown edges into consideration...

 

[Kolven]

wait wait wait the 26 watters are 2700 lumens? thats 103.8 lumens per watt which is insane for cfls... can you link me to the ones you have? or are you sure theyre 26w 2700 lumens?

I think hes saying the k rating. But even then he should be using 6700k not 2700k. No way a cfl puts out that much lumen per watt

 

[Sppoc]

Yeah that would make more sense. But he said lumens so I like to give people the benefit of the doubt haha.

But definitely because right after I read that I just pictured my future box lined with many many of these CFLs instead of 4x 105 watt CFLs lmao.

edite: I would actually go for 6400k and settle with 6700k. With red for flowering I'd go for 2500k and settle with 2700k

no no no haha 2700k. its like 1750 lumens

i have 6500k 5000k and 2700k for veg, i like the mixed spectrum more than all 6500k

if i said lumens, thats my fault. prob too high

Lol I could've been too high and read it wrong idk I'm too high to back and look now! Haha but yes I agree a mixed spectrum of light is better. I have 3 6400k and a 2700k on my lil one now.


But still 1750 is still really good for a 26w. Mine are all 1600.

day 7

they have completly took over the solo cups, so i transfered to 6" square pots. the transfer was a little sloppy so i figure a few days will be needed to recover. all my veg lights are on now also all 14 of them making 398 actual watts.
