looks decent to me, but in my opinion i would try to get another light setup, try going with a 600w or 1000w HPS, and keep the CLF`s for just seedlings or fresh clones.
but your setup is decent now, but i would defiently try getting a more lumen producing light, possible a HPS setup, or even MH setup.
if u need any more help just message me dude.

I wouldEn't recommend it, but you could pull it off if needed. What I usualy do is start seedlings in rockwool in propogation Trey and move to hydo setup when roots are a little developed.

so i should start some seeds in rockwool and when they grow big enough where some roots are coming out of the cube, that is when i move them into my hydro setup?

you got it right, start them in the rockwool cubes, you can either start the seed straight in the rockwool and germinate it their,or what i do is use the paper towl method to germinate and then transfer to cube when i got a nice taproot out. Keep them in their for a little while, just keep checking and when the roots are comming out the cube, i`d wait till you see a good bit of roots comming out, and then just put the rockwool in with your setup, filling the hydroton (or whatever else u might be useing) around the cube. i usually bury the cube deep enough to where the top of the cube is just a little above the hydroton.
feel free to post anymore questions or concerns dude, i`ll check this thread offten, and good luck

Dude.... Your thread is like calling 911 for nothing. You don't need help asap now do you? No you don't. It looks fine now pay your co-pay and go.
Correction. I just looked at your pics and you do need help or you will be calling 911. Its your lights. DO NOT RELY ON THE CHEAP ASS CLAMPS.
Years ago I was renting a apartment over a garage. It was when I was young and didnt know a thing about growing. I did it all half ass and got the clamp on lights like you have. Well one day I get home from work and the damn thing fell. It landed bulb down but didnt break so it just hummed along smoldering through the carpet and into the sub floor. I shit my pants, grab a pot of water and start dumping it on the "fire". bet I dumped 5 gallons on it. Lucky I was above a garage and the water didnt end up in another apartment. I never said anything to the landlord and just had the last few boxes of my stuff covering it when I got inspected for the move. He wondered around said it looks good, gave me back my deposit and I got the fuck out fast lol.
If you have to use them I would put a zip tie around the clamp above the PVC so they cant fall. I see you have the cords run through it but I dont think it will save you.
Be safe first. It would suck to burn down your shit. Get arrested for growing then have the ins deny your claim for being negligent.

my hydro kit i didnt know if i put the wicks in my pots right? sorry i didnt word it properly. next time i wont use "ASAP". sorry i was worried about killing my white widow and lowryder seedlings that cost me a fortune for the seeds. and those lights are the only thing i can afford right now. If u know of a cheap hps setup i could order offline id appreciate it. ill put zipties on it so they wont fall. i also burnt a whole in my rug the first day i got my halogen lights. But do you think that 4 75-watt CFLs and one 150 watt hallogen is enough for my setup. Do you think that produces enough lumens alltogether for my grow.

in my opinion i woulden`t waste my time with those lights dude, especially with some good straings like your widow and lowrider. if i was you i would try to save up anywhere from $100 to $200 and go for a hps setup, you should be able to find a decent wattage light in that price range. i recently got another 1000 watt hps full setup for $200. or you could try a local hydro or grow store.
but you could grow ur crop with those lights you have now but woulden`t advise it.

for sure get rid of the hallogen. Its not doing anything but heating things up. The lights you have are fine for now but its time to start saving up. Sell some shit on craigs list or whatever. You will be much happier with a HPS for flowering. Dont half ass it get a good vented hood not a cheap bat wing. You will need the sealed hood to keep things cool. You have a month and a half or so till the seeds are ready to go 12/12 so get to saving my man.
