biggest flaw I see in your set up, is the distance you keep your CFLs at, need to be really close to provide good strong light, I keep my 6x49W T5HO bulbs at 2-4 inch`s from my plants, only at 4" my light meter shows really strong light, at 4-10" they still provide ok light but after 12" I don't even get a reading

I like your use of emergency blankets there, never though of that idea. I was gonan say about the light distance, but Slipon got there first. other than that you seem to have a pretty good setup there. Good luck with your grow!

Updated: I got a 1000 watt Ballist with a hood and 2 bulbs and it just came... Would it be to much for me to put it in that small of area later today?

Yes, however, do not put the light 3-4 " away...
If it is dimmable, start with a low % and work up...
Girls will drink more so be ready...
Check on them the day of, and after 3-4 times as much...
Good Luck growing, and Happy 4/20 !

hi medgardens;
what an ingenious idea to garden in your tub!
If anything gets spilled, you won't have to worry about how to clean it up.
Caution;switching over to an HID will cause your plants to blow your mind!
Good luck and good bud!
happy MJday

Hey thanks there 12 inchs tall all of them i just measured them so im going to 12/12 them.. When i bought the clones they were already 10 inches tall. Most I believe start auto flower at 12. Definitley if they have a smaller area like me. LOL I got really lucky for the first time the dispencery told me when i went and picked them up that there ready for flowering already. there really nice and healthy to. One of my friends did it and it turned out his clone from 12 inches went to 3 times that and he got about 13 grams out of it. I think it matters on the strain. but thats enough and i just want to do it to smoke im getting more soon and will proceed after the first of the month HAHA!:) I do know a few things about growing but this is just my first one by myself! Happy 420 smoke a blunt and have a good day !:) will update more pics!
