@Purp They were sitting at 9 inch's from the cfl's. I have raised it up to 3 inch's now upon your suggestion. I was really concerned about the heat before closing in too much.

This is my first grow ever and i am really excited with the progress so far. Both the seeds(Blue Mystic and Bubbleicious) from Attitude were germinated by the paper towel method and both succesfully germinated on the 20th of Feb (Wednesday) and were transferred to the grow medium (Coco...

Do you think i'll be fine if i raise the pots up to near the cfl's and bring them lower as they grow tall.. I really don't know if I'll be able to add more lights on the sides considering the depth of the grow box.

Just got done with my baby. See below!! 7 - 23W lights @ 1450 lumen per bulb = 10,150 lumen for the whole grow box.

I'm thinking of installing the sockets horizontally like below. If most of you guys disagree with the below setup i will be looking into constructing a hood concentrated with 8 cfl's in the middle of the box. Please share some advise on this.

I read that its best to install the lights horizontally rather than vertically downwards. Is it true that CFL's emit more heat and light from the sides..?

I have made 2 light traps one for the intake fan and one for the exhaust fan. I have painted the grow box complete White (Satin Enamel) and am waiting for the paint to dry off before i can install the light traps and the light sockets for the bulbs. ps: On the 2nd pic, top hole is for the...

Hey Guys, Even though I'm late almost a week, I'm back with some pics of my grow box. Feel free to comment. :)

I ordered 2 fans for the intake and exhaust of my grow box and received them today. Details of the fan below. Overall Dimension 120X120X25mm...

I have placed an order with a carpenter for making the base frame for the grow box. I have finally decided on building a 24x15x36 unit which i will pick up on Monday. Will post pictures once it arrives. As far as the lights are concerned i did a little reading and found out that its better to...

Do i use cool light cfl's for the veg and change to warm light cfl's when harvesting begins? Or do i mix em up and buy all the bulbs at one go and use them?

I plan on building a grow box in my bedroom and would like to share my experience with you guys. Can someone with past experience on building grow boxes please be kind enough to lend a hand with the below few questions. 1. Would a 24'' x 16'' x 36'' (LxWxH) be a perfect size for 2-3 plants...

Thanks CG. Don't have any cling film left.. have covered it with an aluminum foil for now. Will wait for another day before i finally give up since it'll be a whole week tomorrow.

To all the experienced growers. Should i leave the germination pot in the dark or under sunlight for best results. I have read both and am really confused. Also is it a good idea to cover up the pot with a foil to retain moisture and dark periods..?

6 days are over now. Not a sign of germination. I transferred the seeds from the tissue to a good mix of potting soil in very small containers exactly 24 hours ago and wrapped them in a foil. I have also placed them behind the refrigerator for some additional warmth. Will wait for another 24...

Whats the best website to purchase seeds on the internet?

Thanks guys!! Today is the 4th day so will a couple more days as you guys suggest.

In this video supposedly the user was able to grow roots right inside the cup of water. I guess it really depends on the strain. I have ordered a few more strains and will try what you suggested.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPu-uLRVSks

Unfortunately yes i did. My seeds drowned to the bottom in a couple of hours, i'd say 6 hrs or so. However, i was waiting for the roots to come out since i saw a few videos on youtube doing the same and they had good results and hence i waited for 48 hrs before I transferred it into a container...

I've bought seeds from Nirvana that I have been trying to germinate for the last 4 days with no luck :( I used the soaking in a cup method for 48 hours and did not see any result and hence moved on with the tissue method for another 48 hrs. The cup of water was left in a dark room (room temp)...
