Right now im growing in pc grow box (homemade). (soft white)Using 3 small 13 watt(800 lumes) cfls with 1 24 watt(1200 lumes ). When they get bigger i am planing to replace the 13w with all 24w. Using MG poting soil atm. ( live in alaska not much of a choice were i live. Will get different soil for second grow-maybe-) Ill post a pick in my next update of my set up. Nothing special very noobie, but so far cant complain :)

well it looks like ur plants are stretching a little bit.how far are ur light away from them?cfls are supposed to be like 2-3 inches above the plants.those 13 watts arent gonna do much in the way of yield and neither will 24 for 2 plants.but thats how i started off lol,so i now how it is.growing is fun regardless,and which miracle grow soil r u using? just plain MG potting soil,im using the organic choice and im fine with miracle grow.

Looking really cute.But the ligths r kinda far away,anyway to get them right above the plants like 2-3 incehs?as long as u put ur hand over the plants and it dosent burn ur fine.They r gonna stretch bad if u keep it this way it looks like.

But after all that ur doing good.hopefully thse strains turn out to be good,im switcihg to 12-12 tonight
