I got 3x 200w CFLS. I was terribly difficult to find 6500ks around here so i had to do with 2700ks. I read up a bit and i heard vegging with 2700k isnt to terrible so we will see. Got 2 seedies germinated and planted from a random sack. Both have appeared to being sprouting. I also have 4 more 5 Gallon buckets where i plan to start some auto flowers from Royal Seed bank. The 2 shown here will be moved to a different grow space to allow different light timings. i did not invest in any cooling due to my current area being around 42-30 F Daily. All i have to do i open my closet space and vice versa in order to change temps. I keep it at around a constant 75-83 F. Im using expert gardener plant food ill prob start to feed in around 2 weeks. My current babies are only around 4 days oldI know this is a EXTREMELY novice rig set up so i would appreciate much feedback. Thanks!
First time grow (Mini closet space) Ghetto Rigged.

Awesome thanks alot man that that was on my to do list!Looks good but I would atleast go to Homedepot or Lowes and buy a couple 6500K Cfl's to mix in with your lights! Get the highest wattage or get a couple smaller ones. Run them all through out the whole grow since they are autoflower they will do great!
Read our 420 grow book!

Looks like 40 watt CFLs to me.
It says its a 200W Replacement but only uses 55W. So is it? 55W? Also its 3800 Lumens
Also any recommendations for Root/Bloom/etc products for the auto flowers. Also should mylar be invested in? We have white walls in the closet right now
Hey man whats up. Nice set up for your first grow. Just remember the first grow is a trial run anyway. Just to get any yeild out of your first grow is a plus. So just do your best and dont make the same mistakes twice. And yes its ok for the fan to blow on the sprout, just dont let it bend or break it. How hot is it in there? What light cycle do you have it on now?
