Here is my pretty much fina....I need input bad. I have 9 cfls for now...6 are 6500k and the other 3 are 2700k. I made a mistake thinking I was buying Mylar but got the emergency thermal blanket? Cheap and apparently 70% reflective? I thought I got Mylar but the manufacturer name was Mylar?... So I hope this shit helps a little bit otherwise I have flat white paint....the box is made of press board (I know...I know...just please tell me I don't have to worry about a fire at all?) The root system was huge when I took it out of the little pot, got it in this one it will stay in. Got my earth juice and added what I hoped is it the right mixture. Starting week four from seed....wish me luck, any advice helps!!!

Looks like a well constructed little box man :)
A few things I'd do to it is put some fans in there, even a few computer fans for intake and exhaust will help. Air movement is key to having healthy plants.
Also put those lights closer, if you have a small desk fan, get it blowing over the top of the plant to get rid of the heat. You should be able to put those cfl's 1-2 inches above the plant ;)
How much of the earth juice did you use? I'd be going with 1 to 1 1/5 tbsp per gallon until it gets a bit bigger :)

So I have her on a 19-5 with the new bulb and I am around 6000 lumen a square foot which I think is the best I'm going to be able to do...maybe little more. I have her in a like a 3-4 gallon pot? The earth juice I'm using says to use a couple teaspoons of Catalyst and a Tablespoon of grow, which I added to a one gallon jug. I fed the whole gallon to her yesterday but I don't know if it was enough? Does everyone usually water weekly and how much? It's just the one, she looks happy today I think.

UPDATE DAY 18 Veg

Sorry guys I haven't updated in a few days. Been really busy with work and CIAA was this weekend if some of guys know what that is so I went out and had some fun. Was high rolling all weekend :) lol but also wanted to wait and feel out my rental office about the inspection just to see if something would go down but nothing has happened so all is well. You will notice one of her fan leaves is missing. When I fimmed her I pulled the fan leaf down too far and it broke but I didn't know till after a couple days when it was dead and small. I knew what it was cus I done this many times lol but it didn't bother her and now she's got branches growing out like crazy. Flushed her this morning since I couldn't this weekend and gave her full strength nutes. She didn't get XL this week but will next week as I have to go get it. Forgot it when I got all my stuff but here's a few pix before flush today

Hey herb the setup looks good looks like you have everything right. Like eastcoast said you need intake and exhaust fans for fresh air. Other than that looks very good and the lady is looking mighty good. Thx herb she is looking sexy with all those branches coming out of her. Haven't seen what a fim does in a long time as usually I top my plants but fim occasionally. May have not cut enough off as she may still be tryna grow a top.

Thx eastcoast she really has outgrown how I thought she would. I def need to get a small fan on her for wind. Have been lazy :) lol but really haven't had time but may get one before work today. All in all everything is great and with your help I'm moving right along. The full strength feed didn't bother her at all so she may be nute whore ;). Yes very dark green I've seen what CYCO does and it's the first nute line where I see plants as dark green as they get on CYCO. Need to go get XL so she can become an Amazon woman lol :)

She's so sexy man, I do love the dark green that's intense. That's from the nutes? I think after today mine is going to go nuts haha. I have a fan blowing into the closet a little bit, with the door cracked. I'm definitely going to figure out something different with the fans though. Thanks for the help guys it means a lot to me. Hopefully it goes well from here on out. I can't wait to see how yours does, this shit makes my brain go crazy, I just want to learn!

Yea they will look very dark and green when they're very healthy and eating good. Good food produces good stuff so that what I like to give mines and I've seen what CYCO does. Yea she should've already been on a light feed already with her being the age she is. Go about half strength with her. But yea I cut a hole out my closet door for exhaust I'm bout to cut a small hole at the bottom for intake and attach another fan to my light as it's not a/c cooled like most lights. Will add small 4in fan for intake and another 8in on the other side of my light. I just got fan exhausting heat from light out the room right now temps have been pretty good nothing over 80. But you can learn a lot from the right people that's why I had this account for so long cus I studied good grows by people who can grow. Keep up the work and keep me updated with the lady

Good idea with the fan mate, air movement is key to healthy plants as well ;)
Definitely get the XL, that stuff makes some crazy plants lol.
Also, if you're getting pH swings, try lowering the amount of silica, ive done it for mine this time and the pH is staying at 5.9 :)

I noticed that silica raises the ph like crazy. I want to use full strength on everything but if ph doesn't stay stable shout may have to go to 3/4 strength to see how that does. Yea imma def get it this weekend before the flush so she can go wild and crazy lol. Will post pix of after flush tonight forgot to this morning

Yeah im down to 1/4 strength silica at the moment. Will use a bit more when i use the XL which will help raise the pH to 5.5 like it needs during that week :)
You may want to wait a week to use the XL mate, plants need to have a really strong root base before using it as it burns the little hairs off them to make way for thicker roots :) i'll be waiting till week 3 maybe 4 till i use it!

Yea I think I may run Silica at 3/4 strength next feed to see how that work. That's why I didn't get the XL for week three like feed chart says cus I've seen what it does and like you said the plant needs a really strong root system befoe using it. That's why Im waiting till my next flush to do so which will be this weekend. When you use the XL when do you add it to the res after a Silica or add it first then Silica then rest of nutes. Just want to make sure I add it in right and don't have compounds binding together and locking nutes out
