Well i have been working on the setup for about three weeks now. Its a small cabinet 19" X 19" X 40". I have a three bulb bath fixture that currently has two daylight 26w on a y splitter in the middle and two 42w warm white on either side of them. I currently have only one plant right now... i know i know... before u start raggin on me about having only one plant, this is mainly a test run of this setup. She is 4 days old today and to me she is looking pretty good. I am having a little trouble maintaining airflow in the cabinet but i am working on it. Well here are some pics... any feedback is greatly appreciated.

well she 11 days old now and to me shes lookin pretty good. One set of her leaves are canoe-ing but my temps are 76.2 at the lowest to 79.4 at the highest during the day. Im gonna wait n see what she goes over the next couple of days. I took these pics of her while she was out of the cabinet, i had to clean it out and move some things around. She was only out of the cab about 12-13 minutes. Well if yall see anything else i havent please feel free to comment as this is my first grow.

Heres a little update with pics. I think i may have overwatered so im gonna give her a few days without it. Do you think she is big enough to start nutes on the next feeding? i have read that u should start nutes after two weeks and she is 16 days old today. I am picking up two more sockets and some more daylight cfl's tomorrow. I am trying to get a 150w hps for this cabinet for flowering but i haven't ordered it yet. Well enough of my chattering here are the pics. Enjoy!!

Mine was just a bagseed too man. This seed came from some really good smoke, i would smell the bag and sometime i would smell lemon and sometime i would smell a light hint of blueberry. This was the only seed to come out of it. I hope it turns out well as this is my only plant. This grow was more to check out the cabinet than anything else but she seems to love it so far. I think that this cab would be really good for a scrog but i am going to wait until i get through this first grow before trying scrog. I need to learn more about it before i try it. This site is great for info, i love it, im on it every night just clickin away through posts trying to learn more n more. Good luck on your grow man im sure it will turn out great.

I know i havent been updating like i should but i had my camera stolen about a month ago and havent been able to get anymore pics of her. Well she has been in 12/12 cycle for 9 days and it is confirmed that yes indeed she is FEMALE!!! I couldn't believe it when i looked in there yesterday and saw those little white hairs, man they are everywhere. Ill post some pics when i can get my friends camera. Well i grew one plant and shes a she... WOOO HOOOO!!! I cant believe it. Its such a great feeling.

well i know its not the greatest pic but i was able to get one taken. I am having a problem with her, this pic was taken about a week and a half ago. Since then almost all of her lower leaves have withered and fallen off. Preety much the only leaves left are the one around the bud sites. I hate to say but i have not been using nutrients, like i said in the beginning this plant was mostly about trying out the cabinet but i really would like to see her finish nicely since this is my first female. Ill try to get a pic of her today and post it to see the difference.
