So I started this grow back on December 1st with a couple of trainwreck bagseeds and a ak47 clone from the club just experimenting with indoor growing. Since then I have started a 24 site aeroponics system and that is doing very well and decided to just leave these under cfls the whole time to see how much I could yield under a cheap cheap cheap system. I germinated the 3 seeds and planted them and sprouts were showing in 2 days. 24-0 lighting.
The original setup was a single fluoro tube light balast with 2 40w t-12 lights.
In the second week I added another balast (Stolen from my Garage) and the AK47 clone making my total light yield 4- 40w t-12 bulbs.
In the 4th week I could sex my plants and had 1 male (Got Lucky) and another one of my plants actually split and is growing 2 stocks of off the main and is getting really bushy especially since I topped it.
I just added 5 more CFL's 27w and have seen a lot of growth this last week. I have been keeping up on my nutes and have a homemade co2 bottle set up in the along with a box fan and also a osclating fan. Thr room maintains 78-80 degrees and the plants are on 18-6 lights this week before flowering in the next week or 2.
This was an extremely cheap way to grow with stuff found around your house. I recommend spending the money and setting up a quality system because your yield and quality will be so much better but this is still a fun experiment similar to what you would find in a college closet.
The pics are in order chrono order from week 3 - Present. The cfl's hang down in between both of the 40w Blasts.
