250 watt CFL grow update UK Cheese 6 wks flowering

I've had so many problems with this plant but i think i've worked out all the problems and now she can grow !!
lights-250 watts true cfl
ph-6.4
nutes-Big Bud, Mol. ,Orchid Bloom
soil - Cactus Peet moss Earth worm castings
fans-3 computer fans, (1) intake
(2) exhaust
(1) internal 6" fan blowing on canopy

Grow Cabinet is a Filing Cabinet turned into Grow Cab

I'll never use that soil again it is POOP!!! but overall its been good water from my faucet this year is PHing alot higher than last year but i bought some ph down and thats that. I LST'ed the shit out of her due to my space being so small but it might of over stressed her a little but she made it through, thought for sure it would've forced her to hermie but no balls so i'm good.

Lookin awesome! how long has she been in flowering?

about 6 weeks but had so many problems i think it set me back a bit and thank you

I just found out that i'm growing cheese quake and not just plain uk cheese? WTF the guy i got the seeds from ordered them from attitude and he gave them 2 me he said just cheese but he notified me 2nite its cheese quake

Looks really good! What kind of problems did you face along the way? Whatever they were, looks like you did well to overcome them. Great job

Just a quick question...still in the planning stage of the 1st grow and am looking at 4 plants in a 7X7 room. I was thinking 6-8 250 Watt CFL with reflectors. Does 1 produce a lot of heat? The heat and ventilation are the biggest concerns, but if I can deal with those variables, how much light is good and how much do you think is waste? I wasn't planning to use any reflective material on the walls since the CFL throw is short.
Thanks.

It was mainly a PH problem shitty soil and i started wth no veg nutes. But i had some good help from u guys to help fix the little problems i had so thank you

I'd say 6 would be great but might be to much 4 plants at 70 to 100 watts per plant 1500 watts of cfl would be plenty and as far as heat ur definetly going to have some sort of ventilation cause its going to massively put off some heat !!! Maybe a rotating fan in your room and some sort of exhaust into an attic or to an outside source . hope i could help brother good luck and keep us posted.
