Well this started as a outdoor grow then i decided since its november already and the cold will but coming soon (i live in FL) i wanted to grow inside..

I have a total of 5 plants.


Here is my setup, I know its not perfect but i will fix it..

Lighting: (2) 13Watt CFL /3000K/ 800 Lum (1600 Total)
Soil: Regular ground soil
Air: (2) PC Fans


I moved one plant in the box from outside lastnight .. So i have 4 outside and one in the box.


My main concern is am i giving my baby in the box enough light? Im doing 16/4 ... If so, Could i stick another plant in there too?

Here is the other 4:






I know these shouldnt be so close or even in the same pot but i dont have anything to put them in yet and i didnt wanna shock them so young. I wll move them shorty.


Any tips, suggestions or comments are welcome.

has some. :bigjoint:

but the light emits 3000k will that be enough for it to veg and flower? Because 2700-3000k is for flowering i think.

Its on 16/4 right now.. will be switching to 12/12 in 2 weeks.

All the sprouts are a week old.

Will this work? no nutes have been added. just some fresh veg dog poo and water lol.

You definately want more light, that is way off for 5 plants, ideally you want about 10,000 lumens per plant, but you can use less. Get at least 4000 on each plant, bare minimum.

You may have to say goodbye to a few plants and focus on two remaining good ones, or one remaining good one. Most will say the tin foil should go. Get white poly or flat white paint or mylar should be used.

Plan on 3 feet of vertical growth above the container unless you will be tying them down or whatever.

Get more lights, get 2700k color (SW), you can use this color for veg and flower, don't worry about the correct color for flower yet you have bigger things to worry about. Get 26 watt or 42 watt. 6-42 watters will work or 12-26 watters. 13 watters are a little small but I guess it could be done if you had about 24 of them. I would focus on 1 plant.

What's the iPod charger for?

Update: Adding 7 more light sockets to bring the total too 9 sockets

I will be filling the sockets with:
4 GE 42watt CFL's Cool White
2 GE 42watt CFL's Warm White
2 Syl 13watt CFL's ( Side Lighting )
1 Full spec CFL

I added a fan ( just mockup ) will be cleaning the fan and making the vent hole tomorrow.

Mylar will be installed in a couple of days and ill be transplanting the sprouts here in a few days. Just gotta go get some special farm soil.

Tinfoil is not mylar. Using tinfoil will create hotspots.
Turn those bulbs sideways so the plant actually gets some of the light they are putting off.

Otherwise good luck!
