Hey all, been lurking for a while now, lurking, learning, same difference..
All the information I've absorbed from these forums and several links to other sites from these forums has inspired me to attempt my first grow I've decided to begin with a small CFL setup and wish to share my experience.
A closet grow, my closet is 500mm x 400mm x 1500mm, I have a 2x 36w (4ft) Fluro running vertically opposite the door and a moveable panel with 9 sockets suitable for CFL's. My lighting panel for this first grow has the CFL's vertical above the plants, yes I've read horizontal is better but for simplicity I've chosen this method. To keep costs low I decided to paint the inside with white paint as I am just intending this first grow to be a learning experience.
Here are 2 pictures of my closet one with the rear vertical 2x36w on, the other with it turned off. Also 7/9 of my globes are running over the seedlings. All 3 on both the outside rows and the middle of the middle. At present these CFL's are of the daylight colour (6500K), more suited to the vegetive growth These pictures also have my 2 pots with 4 day old seedlings.
