Autoflowers at two weeks- update

I probably shouldve started a journal but i honestly wasnt very optimistic any of my girls would even make it. So here are my five autos at just a bit more than two weeks. I get the feeling from looking at others pics that mine are pretty small and underdeveloped. Until now i have been running only about 200watts combined of five cfls. I just got a couple more 5500k and they will be added later today, that will give me a total of (4) 55w cfls each pushing a rated 2500 lumens eachso thats a little more than 10,000 lumens for about 1 square meter or so.


so far ive kept the lights between 1 to 3 inches away with a fan able to blow across all plants to keep them cool. I dont have any meters so i cant say what my temps, humidity or ph are......those things will be purchased soon.....like i said before its a pretty half asses grow and i didnt do myself any favors. Its just for my personal use so ill be happy even with a few popcorn buds, my total investment has probably been under 100 usd.

so to summarize.....5 autoflowers, jack herrer, blueberry, diesel, kush and quick one.....started in peat pellets and transplanted into biobizz all mix.....ive been watering a few drops by the stem everyday with canna rhizotonic at strength.....light cycle was 18/6 for first two weeks and i recently decided to push it up to 20/4 which i think i should hqve done all along......


after looking at the pics any comments, crticism or guidance are gladly recieved.

cheers!

I think they are looking good

I would invest in temp and humidity meter. These are important. High humidity 60% is good for veg and Temps 77-78 work well when lights are on 67-68 off

thanks man.....yea like i said it was not a well planned grow......thx alot for the input......how far away should i keep the lights? im getting leaf curl i think i read so ehwere that could be from light heat or somethin

There looking good buddy u can get a temp / humidity meter with a clock N alarm for £5 or less on amazon keep up the good work if you can invest in a hps light that wud be so much better for wen they hit flowering stage. Have you thought about doing some LSTing

Too bad they are all autos(if they were photo you could flower 1 at a time)...you remind me of myself a while ago trying to fit 9 plants under an easy cool 6 hood. Lol didn't work out after I vegged them for as long as I did.

If it were me I'd put all available money to more lights and maybe some nutes.

Btw they look good.

Edit: i agree with tipper, LST would be good for you I think

Was being all nostalgic and ran across these pics.

This was when I thought to much of a good thing would just be a whole lot of good! Lol

In hind-sight I shoulda just took the advice that was given and cut off all the lower foliage and then LST'd as needed for a nice sog style canopy.Bet it would have given a nice yeild increase.

i ordered a bunch of 2700k cfls should be here in a day, tney are only 20 watts rated at 1300 lumens each and i plan on adding two bulbs per plant and rotate the plants every day to maximize coverage with a limited setup. You guys should know i have no ventilation which is why i went with cfl......i can air the closet out a few times a day and it keeps the temps manageable with the fan inside doing its thing. Its a retarded setup but its the only way i can grow for several rigid reasons.

After the 2700ks get here ill have a total of around 20,000 lumens in a square meter or less of space.....dunno if thats enough but im increasing my lights with every paycheck......for sure my next grow will be better.....this one ill be happy if they dont die and pull at least enough for persoanl use over the summer.....


thanks for the help it is greatly appreciated
