GrowDog - 1st CFL Grow!

Hey all,
This is my first grow. For now i have a box setup.
It is about 2 feet wide x 2 feet long x 3 feet tall
I have 4 23 watt 6500k cfl lights
The soil is just miraclegrow mixed with soil i had laying around
I have a small fan running 24/0 along with the lights.
I have 1 plant which is about 3 weeks old, just bagseed.

Some of the leaves have yellow spots, but I think it is because i had my lights to close to the plant. I have not added any nutes yet. Some of the leaves also look a little droopy.
I do not have a thermometer but the temp in the box feels about 75 F.

Nice grow Very tight node spacing, ......also the yellow spots could be mold or nute burn....but they look fine to me...

I stopped for a while was having problems growing....Found out it i was caring to much, its a weed just let it grow so i did....I use cfl's and miracle grow soil and tap water.....The plant about a month old fans out over 12 inches...and about a foot tall...green as my greencrunchies....
Good luck hope its a female....

how many cfls are you using? And how big should i let it get before I flower it? Would 2 weeks be to soon?

OK i woke up today and more leaves have turned yellow, it cant be heat burn because my cfls are around 5 inches from the plant. So I am thinking a transplant with just mircaclegrow. The soil mixture i have now is 50% miraclegrow and 50% some shit around the house. Any suggestions?

Yea, It's time to add nutes to it !!!!!!

lookin good so far my man

yup, i just talked to the dude at my local hydroponics store and he said its turning yellow because it is hungry. So i am going to buy some nutes in a few hours. Ill keep you all updated. As for it being small, for the first few weeks it has been growing under 2 cfls, i just added 2 more and now its taking off again.

Ok i just bought this Botanicare Pure Blend Pro, but mine is 3 - 2 - 4, and added it today

Nice plant your got going there. Looks like its ready to attack some one walking past it I think your 4 CFLs is plenty of light although, like they say the more the better but 4 is ideal. I have about the same ratio of light for my 3 plants.

haha "ready to attack someone" haha omg im so high right now. it is taking me like 10 mins to right this. Oh i am starting 10 more plants within next week, do you think 32 bulbs will be efficient?

My plant looks better today, here is a picture of it in the Christmas spirit.

OK well after receiving information on LST I decided to give it a try.
(My LST Thread Here - https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/140995-lst-newb-question.html)

I bent the top branch gently over and tied it to my moisture meter with thread. I decided not to do anything to secure yet because i am going to transplant to a bigger pot within this week.

Ok well i think my roots have hit the bottom, the plant growth is slowing down. I will be transplanting today or tomorrow. Ill post pics after transplant.
