Two 26 watt (6500k) CFL
Two 42 watt (2700k) CFL
Hyponex Pro soil
Miracle Grow Perlite
No nutes just yet..

This is just some dank bagseed.. Got 14 seeds, germed 6, planted 3, discarded one cause it was laggin behind.. Figured 12/12 from seed would lead to smaller plants, and for a first timer, would be good experience.. Previous setup wasted light, this setup is much smaller with less light leaks.. Sealed room.. Tell me what you think, and what I could possibly do to make this better..

LOW BUDGET by the way.. lol


This picture is from today, day 5 of being in soil... I will post more pics in a week..

LOL i think its only been a day, they are just seedlings.. Not much to show off at the moment.. I did get my plants closer to the lights today.. Stuck a crayon box under the box they are already sitting on.. I cant move the lights, so I gotta move the plants.. Just for the record, if I do get a female out of this, I'm gonna LST her since the space is limited.. with the pots, I only have room for a 10 inch plant, lol.. should be okay when 2 months from now rolls around.. I'm just hoping for a female.. If not, I still have 8 seeds of this same strain..

lol ok point taken but i meant better quality lol. thats gonna be all the space u have for flowering? man mine is already 20 inches tall i dint do lst but i dont know how successful thatll be in such a tight spot. i mean i know its done to maximize growth ina small space i think you'll also wanna top (another thing i didnt do) for multiple colas . just my opinion

Bad news.. The taller seedling fell over during the dark hours.. Dunno why, maybe the soil was shit.. I had just transplanted into those bigger pots.. the smaller one is going strong.. I'm doin somethin wrong...

Did you transplant it that night before it flopped? If so it may have just been a bit of transplant shock an could have bounced right back... maybe.

Anyone got some advice or any ideas they could share??

More info.. I wasnt going to paint my grow area, so I bought two sheets of white posterboard at 99 cents each, and cut them into pieces and taped them on the inside of my grow area and on the door, just to reflect some light.. There is some area in the back of my grow space that cant be used (no lights there, just a fan and the electrical plugs), should I go all the way back with the white posterboard, or just leave it..? I will post some pics of the detail of my grow area.. Hopefully when I get home later today, or tomorrow.. Any help would be great guys.. I know you are all knowledgable in your own ways..

Thanks for asking... Temps of my house are only 70 degrees usually.. I haven't checked the temps yet, but I would assume that the room my plants are in is around 68-72 degrees any time of the day, so that keeps it sort of cool.. I also have a small fan that circulates the air, and barely blows on the plant.. It acts more like an intake, pulling air from the back of my cab, to the front and out the cracks in the door.. I will get a temp tomorrow.. I need to go out and get a digi thermometer..
