My premetive grow area please any suggestions

Speedica · Dec 13, 2019

Hi there.
It's day 19 growing og Thai

Got 2 windows for clean air and ventilation
Have a ceiling fan that is kinda fast at the lowest speed but I think plants managed well with it.
Got 2 led bulbs one is 50 wats the other is 40
Got 4 cfl bulbs that varie from 18 wats to 28 watts and a big one that is 50 watts.

All of them are 6400k
Humidity feels right! No equipment other than just lights.
Getting more lights soon
Up close pictures attached.

Dont expect much yield if any and dont expect quality. Lol no offence but i eoubt u getmore than an 8th off each of those plants. With that setup. U needmore light ALOT more. Better circulation air flow. Humidity you cant tell by "feel" temps are likely out of whack too. But GL hope it works out for ya

With those lights I'd stick to 1 small plant. Take strongest one, or get better lighting. Get some t5s and more CFLs u don't need expensive stuff to grow 1 plant.

That's gonna get messy. Don't enter your grow area while drunk lol

i said I'm getting more lights soon, planning on some big ass 125 cfl bulbs with a variety of 2700k and 6500k.
Humidity is no big deal unless it's either too high or too low and I can tell between two extremes
Thanks man.

Are you saying that I shouldn't be vegging many small plants on these lights, and instead grow just grow the biggest one? Well as far as now it's working and plants seem a bit satisfied. But yeah I'll be getting big lights soon.

Thanks very much that gave me some perspective.

Those 125 watt cfls lasted me less then a year before they burnt out. Look at the quantum board knockoffs or anything but cfl, if you plan to stay at it.

"Humidity is no big deal" lmfao. "Humidity feels right" hygrometer skin.

I'm no pro but i can say my first grows turned out like crap I think 50 grams total. I had invested maybe 60 bucks on soil didn't even have a pH pen. Grew outside in Florida not optimal conditions. Now I've spent about 800bucks (fairly low compared to a lot of folks). The before and after pics are insane you would think it's totally different grower. I'm projecting a pound this grow.

Everyones financial sitch is different but if you're going to drop money on anything get lights. Tax season is coming up I plan to get another QB maybe from HLG again. Unless I can find same quality better price (doubt).

Good luck bro rooting for u

Well he isn’t wrong vdp is a thing and you should look into it and learn. You really want to get better light and the 125 cfls aren’t going to cut it either. The plants are already stretching heavy and the lights are damn near on top of them. I wish you luck but you’re going to need to read and invest a bit more time and money.

Renfro · Dec 22, 2019

Gonna be a dick for a minute. lol Thats a total waste of electricity. I hope it's legal to grow where you are because it would suck to have legal issues for cultivating when I don't foresee a harvest. So many things that can and probably will happen, stuff like mildew, mites, hermies. Honestly there is way more that can go wrong than right and you don't appear to be prepared for any of it. Just saying that so you can prove me wrong or save yourself the hassle and waste of money.

why keep spending money of those damn things and save to buy a real light?

Renfro · Dec 22, 2019

And to say I am displeased with the wiring would be an understatement. If you experience an arc due to a loose connection or accident there is nothing to contain it. Curtains right there waiting to catch a random spark.

Wouldn't call myself a master but watching you ask for help, then get offered proper advice and respond with "humidity is no big deal" definitely made me cringe a bit. Shit is ridiculous. Good luck none the less.

Don't get all defensive and stuff, "lmao" might end up with "Stfu" when not used respectively.
Basic life lesson.
Thank you tho
