New pixs first time grow

let me know what you guys think!

Right on! What strains are they and what kinda lighting you using?

it's some Sour O.G. and i have the ecosmart bulbs (not sure of exact name) but i have 2 on top hanging down and two on the side hanging a little lower. (thought it would be good for the botton branches). the total watts is 400. Two bulbs are 1750 lumens and other two are 1500 lumens.

It's probably not 400 watts, thats the equivalent wattage, they are actually probably 26 and 23w bulbs(so like 100 ACTUAL watts). I love CFL's for growing, they're pretty cool...how many plants all together? You are definately gonna wanna increase the amount of light you have in there to avoid stretch, and you will wanna keep the bulbs withing an inch or two of the plants, or as close as you can put them without burning the plants.(put your hand in front of the bulb where the plant is, if it's too hot for your hand it's too hot for the plant)...How about ventilation, any air circulation in there?

i have just one plant. those pictures are from the same plant one week about after each picture. I have a good fan on top aimed downward for circulation. Ill have a picture up soon of the whole setup. oh yea, that makes sense now that i talk it out haha. would you recommend i get a stronger bulb as soon as possible?

Well, if not stronger, get more of the 26 watt bulbs...You know when you switch it to flowering your plant is gonna double or triple in size, thats when you REALLY need more light...Besides circulation, any fresh air coming into the room? What are the temperatures like in therre...and they're gonna get higher when you add more light...

What is the grow space measurement, and is it 4 plants or only one plant? Sorry a little confused.

Yeah, if you're gonna continue to grow with CFL's, you might wanna switch to 12/12 soon, it's gonna be hard to supply enough light once all those branches spread out, and it's gonna get a lot taller...like double or triple the size it is now

im not sure about the temperature, but i keep the window open at times and have an air purifier that keeps air flow in my room to my closet. not sure about measurements either. It is one plant. with a picture showing a weeks growth. she is in week five now.

Try grabbing some big CFL's to go in there, I'm pretty sure you can get teh right kind at a Home Depot or something and it is going to double height wise measure your space and give yourself room for that. I.e. if you have 4 ft but the light take up 6in. then flip them around 12-18", probably like 15". How big of a container is that? 3 Gal? If so, you will be good to go all the way to harvest in that pot.

Definitely be careful of "the stretch" with the CFL's.

hey there, this is what i use http://www.mylampparts.com/Products/Four-Light-Cluster---Keyless__SL19156.aspx order several, they come within like 3 days, then i just bought several 45 watt cfls from amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Compact+Fluorescent+CFL+45W+Perfect+Daylight+Grow+Light+Compact+Fluorescent+Plant+Grow+Lights+45W they came in 2 days the i went to home depot and bought 2 of these lamp replacement cords http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100351458/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 splced with 4 way clusters and plugged into power strip, which is plugged into timer, cheap and easy. i bought the soft white cfls at walmart for a song, if you can throw some more light in there, closer to the top and sides, i think you will be pleased. you have a good thing going on there, pumped it up a little

Lantern: yea ive seen the bigger more powerful CFL's and i am defiantly going to look into that. and as far as the container.. how can i find that out? (not sure how to tell or if it says anywhere?) its a pretty decent size. Its bigger than the other pot i had there before. My week five picture shows the new and bigger pot.
Sunnyboy: thank you for the help! those tools look like they will help alot! I do feel like i need a little more power in there.

Thank you guys for the advice. And i will get more pictures up soon!

no problem karmakid, glad to help, i am learning myself. anything we can do to help each other makes the world a better place and i always like the thought of weed growing, so go kid go
