Paint the walls or add reflective material and get as much light as your space and budget will allow. Like grorite said, u need all the light you can get. I noticed the duct in space, is that a passive duct or do you have a fan on other end?

Lmao so negative!
Ive seen someone grow using 1x42 watt bulb he got what 2 grams but it still harvested something. My point is the setup will work if he want more bid just add more light.

Just sounds like you don't know what you are talking about tbh!
yeah it will work but why waste so much time on so lil makes no sense not being negative at all just stating a fact

If you can add another cfl so you have 1 over each plant or they're just gonna stretch toward the light. And from the looks of the soil, be careful on your watering. If it was me, i would let soil dry out some, then transplant into pots with better soil mixture. You started them in way to big of pots in first place, thats why the slow growth.. As for the bulb change, instead of switching just add the 2700 to the 1 you have.
The light I already have in is a 6500k 30watt bulb. I was led to believe that I needed the 2700k 30watt after they begin to flower. Considering what everybody is saying I'm going to get another 2700k 30watt bulb but if it's alright to keep the 6500k on then I will, save me some cash lol.

dude your setup is never gonna work mite as well scrap it and not waste your time you gonna need way more light if you wanna make it happen
Pretty drastic that mate. It's a weed, it will grow it's just it might not be that good. Calm down.

Yeah I was thinking about adding some tin foil around the cardboard it's surrounded in, I'll do that tomorrow. And that duct is useless, not attached to anything.

like grorite above said, he means that u will not get anything worth while off the 2 plants that cost u x amount threw electric and 3 months of time. And 24 hrs light is better for growing than 18/6. 18/6 is better for stretch, it hasnt been proven anywhere 18/6 is better than 24/0 for veg, i get what people say its not natural, but having such a controlled environment and manipulating ganja plants the way we do isnt natural either. 18/6 is more efficient due to ever rising energy cost though :(

Well if your comment was your fact you are wrong! As it can work like you just said. So instead of saying it will never work just say add more light duh!

Damn so much misinfo in here.
Its proven that under 24/0 you get less root growth(roots grow at dark time)more roots=bigger plant= more buds!
Also 24/0 veg gives you a high male/female ratio. So instead of you guys spreading myths and info that you heard from he say she say try it yourself then comment!

Dude to be honest after reading thru this thread it's a whole bunch of Mumbo jumbo.

Its a weed all you need is light air and water it will grow. Good points would be to add some perlite to your soil,add more bulbs and add a fan.

lol where is this proven?? it isnt, sure u could run comparisons detailing different light, environments and strains and see what happens. A plant during a dark period goes threw oxidation, this cause the stretch in flower where lights are 12/12, So true growth not STRETCH on a PHOTOSENSITIVE plant happens with more light time and par. Im pretty sure that 18 hrs is less than 24 or 20 so i guess LESS GROWTH. lol ur funny trying call people out n shit

Imeant to add the 2700 with the 6500. You have got to get some ventilation in there.if nothing else you can get a duct booster fan from home depot to pull the air out and have a passive intake. It only takes the plants a few minutes to use up all the c02 around the leaves so you have to have air constantly moving.
Great info bout the light cycles wyteberrywidow.

Soil needs Perlite, Lights needs to be inches away from plants -they are really stretching, next time use Fabric pots - will really help your grow and Gnat problem.

Good Luck

Here's a quick question, if the plants are an auto strain? Does the light cycle matter as much due to it being an age flowering plant instead of a photoperiod flowering?

yes and no, longer light on periods make buds leafy. About 13 - 14 on for auto is the balance in flower and for veg 24/ or 20/4

The info is there just have to look for it. I first hand experienced it to know ill stick with 18/6 and not abuse of saving electricity cost lol.
dude your a joke
The guy who has no clue;)

Loads of info in here lol good stuff. I'm going to get a carbon filter this week in anticipation of the smell, so hopefully that'll the cover the airflow problem. I've covered the cardboard in tinfoil now, what do you reckon? this alright? Also for the light issue, I'll put the 2700k on as well when it comes on Tuesday.
