Thanks mate, it's only been fed on water so far :D so it's doing great I think :D yes I no it's a piss take as I was just about to switch it to 12/12 aswell but won't bother with just the shit bulb, but there sending a new one out so that's good :) yeah I think I will make something else to hold the bulb up when I get the new one (y). Thanks I think it's going pretty well for my first grow :) I only had it on 16/8 for 1 day then the bulb went so put it back to 24/0 as I am using the shit bulb again. As soon as pot is here I will transplant and then when bulb is here I will switch to 12/12 :D bottom leaves are yellowing is this normal ?? And irll have a peek mate.

no probs dude and i can only imagine with the bulb, i woulda freaked out and smashed the thing LOL! and yea the light thing wont bother it much if it was just a one time thing, plants can take more stress than u can imagine. and your upcoming transplanting and flowering stage sound about right buddy :) also for the yellowing, yea itll happen on the lower leaves cause they prob arent getting as much light as they need + the whole nitro gen thing, ull notice once u transplant and maybe get some flowering nutes that contain some nitro but mostly more phosphorous and potassium :)
 
Hey guys I know it's been a while but haven't been able to do much at the moment as I have been rather ill and still waiting for the bulb to come but I woke up this morning and the postman had delivered it so :D also the plant pots I ordered are here aswell so I will be transplanting it today or tommorow. Just wondering what is the best way to hang it ?? As you said the chain would be better off not touching the bulb ?? Plants looking rather healthy after I tied her down :)

P.S - This bulb is a 150w aswell :)

Sry it's bee so long since I checked in (health issues) ...your plant is looking good...if your feeding straight water the yellowing is probably a nute deficiency. I hope your flowering 12/12 uses a 2700k bulb it works better. The 6500k bulb is good for veg 2700k for flowering.
 
I would suggest getting some walls in there, something reflective. We used the visors to keep the sun out of the car and duct tape(very cheap). I also think you need to get some kind of ventilation system (maybe some fans for input and output). This keeps the moisture down and the wind from the fan also helps strengthen the plant so it will be strong enough to support the buds. I think you may want to consider some more lights too. The ladies love the lights. 20130316_043455.jpgpicture006.jpg
