CFL Blackberry Indica/Sativa (Pics)

[kaiserAxel]

First grow. This setup was going to be used to veg, but my first grow will be a harvest with manual pollination (if i get a male..hopefully I will, damn seed prices)

So, I know the benefits of supplemental side lighting when it comes to CFL, but I decided on a one level hanging fixture.

Open to comments/suggestions/criticism

Light Fixture:

1 week old:

(runt)

12 Days Old + new cabinet and 'reflector':

(runt)

More to come...

foxfarm OF soil

Oh, my bad..I forgot the new cabinet picture.....

PS: forgot ventilation specs, PSU fan at the top, passive intake vent at the bottom, stays pretty cool, even with the new 'reflectors'

Very nice, i like that alot, +REP

By the way, dimensions of the cabinet... 22"x15"x60" -painted white already...

So my 2 week old seedlings started darkening on the branches?...Strain/problem?

 

["SICC"]

everything should be fine, might be a lil cold when the lights are off but she will be just fine

 

[kaiserAxel]

Damn, quick reply haha. Thanks, so the cold does that huh?

 

["SICC"]

Thanks man, it wasn't too hard, only took about 30 minutes of work and $20 not including the bulbs.
$5 wood, $8 for all outlets, $6 for adapters
