What's up Rollitup, new to this forum however I've lurked the forums a bit for information and to look at similar CFL grows. I am currently on my first grow ever. Decided to take the route of CFL growing to get my foot in the door to indoor growing. My plants are now flowering only 2 and a half weeks in. I had started germinating near the end of Febuary. I confirmed my first female around the start of this month by pre flowers. I had 10 plants overall and ended up with 3 females. One plant is much bigger than the other two. All three plants are dominant sativa from what I can tell.
Okay, now for my setup. My biggest plant is in a 5 Gallon bucket, the other 2 are in 3 gallon buckets.

Proper ventilation hasn't been installed for this first grow but I'm in the process of getting what I need, where I am temps have not been a problem however, I would like proper ventilation for more fresh air and for when temps are a bit higher. For now I have an oscillating fan and I sometimes can open a window to let fresh in the room. My space is 4.5x2x5 and I may raise the height a feet as my biggest plants main bud is going to get too close to my 125w light.
For germination I used Rockwool in a humidity dome and once they sprouted and roots appeared at the bottom I planted them in a solo cup.

this picture was taken when I confirmed the plant a female, this plant is now my biggest
the plant as of today she was under some heat stress due to the 125 being too close, moved to a better distance now. I take the plants out for watering and took this picture to see full size of the plant
Now for some bud shots,
second best plant, as you may be able to tell I have lined my closet with poly
main top on best plant
How are they looking? I also plan to keep this updated as my plants continue to flower and post harvest pics and final dry weight. If I run into any major problems I may post in this thread for advice.
Thanks
