So for anyone who is interested, I have started my grow with lots of pics. So far only 4 seedlings but for anyone lookin for some ideas on a closet grow, I have included a few pics of how I modified mine. You can find the link in my signature, thanks for watchin!! :)

Gonna bump this one a few times for the newbies like me that bought lights with no Kelvin rating printed on them :P Hope this has been helpful to some, would be nice to hear about it if it was :)

Wish I could help ya man, Ill do my part by posting and bumping your thread back up :) Just not quite experienced enough to make that call, I will probably be askin the same question once it comes time to clip mine haha. Girls are lookin good though, thanks for stoppin by my thread and showin...

Ahh the socket. Yeah I was super pissed that Home Depot didnt have ceramic work lights at ALL. I would have been stuck building a ceramic fixture and it would have ran about $13 a pop vs. $7,97 for the worklight. What really pissed me off is when I saw the ceramic ones you're talkin about at...

Sounding real good man, I wont comment on when to flower and all that as I am hardly qualified. I have been telling alot of CFL growers about the 68w (300w Equivalent) CFLs at home depot though, I just cant help it theyre so great. Its about the size of a football and fits into the same...

Hey Grow looks great man, very inspiring! I am starting a CFL closet grow of my own. I don't know how money is for ya but home depot sells some 65w (300w equiv) CFL bulbs for like $15. They are 2700K, PERFECT for flowering and about the size of a football. Best part? they will fit in any of...

Good lookin grow Octagon. Im sad that you had to move them to a PC case, the height limitations are killer. If you HAVE moved them back to a closet, I had some advice for ya. You had mentioned using a piece of wood to block the door but it was a pain. Check out my grow and what I came up...

High everyone!! There are quite a few bulbs out there, especially the GE ones from walmart that do not have a kelvin rating on them. to make it worse some dont even say "daylight" or "soft white". So after a bunch of searching around I found this AWESOME spreadsheet that lists every (I think)...

OK after a bunch of searching around I found this AWESOME spreadsheet that lists every (I think) Energy Star qualified CFL, along with wattage, kelvin rating, lumens, etc. If ANYONE is not able to find the kelvin rating on their bulb, this is the spreadsheet for it. I wish someone would have...

Man I looked ALL OVER for ceramic y splitters and I couldn't find any at all. I looked at Ace, Lowes and Home Depot. I found plenty of single ceramic fixtures but no splitters. I will keep an eye on them and see if they feel to hot. Yeah I will probably just do what you did then on the air...

Im no pro by any means, actually just started my first grow 4 days ago, but I do have some advice. First off, and anyone correct me if Im wrong, but those plants look to be a bit stretched. With florescent bulbs you need them as close as you can get them without burning the plants or they will...

High again everyone. Thanks for checkin out my lil thread everyone. I'm thankful to have some subscribers for sure!! I had a long day today and wasn't able to post these pics till now, but I have great news, we've broken soil!! :) 3 of the 5 seeds I had planted sprouted overnight and one in...

Hey guys thanks so much for the interest and the +rep, its MUCH appreciated. I wanted to point out my main concern as I forgot last night, and that would be safety. The only way I see this grow going bad is if I get a call from the fire dept. I am doing everything in my power to be safe as...

Everything's lookin real good man, cant wait to see some buds on those ladies!! I love how you used a coffee table to grow in, thats perfect. Funny thing is I had a table just like that years back and I broke the glass so I threw the table away :( I had a question. I bought a couple of...

Errr yeah what he said...68watt not 65watt haha. Thanks for the correction rEd :)

Hey doobie, shoulda stuck around for 20 more minutes I made another post talking about the cord under the trim haha. If you dont have enough room under your trim Im told it can all be pulled up, lay your cord and nail it back down pretty easily. As for the monster CFL, yes it fits in a regular...

Sorry to hear about the heat issues man. If it were me Id rip the lower shelf outta that closet and give some breathing room to your babies. Of course that may not be an option for ya :P Well, I did it. I finally setup my closet, I have 5 germinated seeds in some jiffy pots and 10 more seeds...

OK so even though most of the things I will describe were in the first posts pictures it wasnt until day 2 (today) that I actually added them. For example the weather stripping on the top & side of the door. This was done more for my wife & I so that as little light as possible peeks through...

High Everyone!! I have had friends & family that have done box & closet grows. I have read about growing since I was 18 (now 25). This is my first ever attempt at a grow. I will include as many pictures as possible and with as much detail necessary. I am creating this journal for anyone who...

High Tanker Caught this post at like 5am the other night and had to subscribe, Im only sad that I wasnt with it from the beginning. I will be starting my closet renovation this weekend for my grow. I have a 30" deep X 30" wide X 70" tall space to work with for flowering, and about that same...
