Whats the sq. ft. of ur grow space?? Im assuming those CFL's are putting out about 1600 lumens each right?? Thats about what my 26W Daylight CFL's give off as initial lumens...

So a 6 x 1600 = 9,600 lumens divide that by you floor space and see what your got.. Ideally you should be around 3000-4000 lumens per sq ft.

Im using about 10 CFL's for an area a lil bigger than 4 sq ft. Approx. 4000 lumens per sq ft.

My grow box is actually 1.5'L x 2.8'W x 1.5'H (Vegg/Clone area) so the box isn't exactly square, but you catch my drift right??

Do I have to trim the leaves that are yellow like that tall one has the balck on the end of the bigger leaf... I heard my leaves my be dying because they were rootbound before i transplanted them and they kill off OLD growth to feed the NEW growth...Could this be my problem..

So the plants with the Brown and yellow tip just cut of the yellow part were it ends? And My buddy told me if you stress the plants they have more of a chance to become hermies....??

I've heard from more experienced growers that it's really hard to make a plant hermie.. Like the plants have to be under a great deal of stress their whole lives, and even then it's still not a for sure thing..

Nice stealth dresser, bro. ;) I'm trying to do the exact same thing but instead, in my basement with a sheetmetal cabinet. This is going to be a lot easier because my parents are hardly down here (the cabinet is in the furnace room, parents are NEVER here). I'm keepin' an eye on this thread. ;)

i a lot of my equipment off craigslist from some random guy, he gave me some pads he said he just stuffed into his ventilation tubes(they are black), i almost thought he said charcoal pads.. dont remember exactly what they are.. i got 2 400w hps off him and he said those pads filtered the smell.. so my thoughts are he had a decent size room

edit: you might wanna think bout cuttin that yellow off
