    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    A week into flower random1 shot up quite a bit. Both plants are showing some yellowing and browning on the lower leaves. If anyone has any idea what the problem might be? I have given them both 3/4 strength nutes twice since switching to flower.

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    The light "reflectors" are just dish washing tubs from Walmart. Their not the best but I guess its better than nothing. I have 4 40w CFLs on each plant. I got a 6" inline fan to exhaust the heat but I have found that the most important factor is the ambient temperature in the room.

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    Its been a while since my last update. Plants are doing good but I think I am going to need a few more day before switching to 12/12 lights. Both plants have 8 tips with 4-5 sets nodes each. I think I am going to let them grow out 2-3 more sets of nodes before flowering.

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    I did the final trim job on both plants so I am left with just the 8 mains on each plant. Now just have to wait a while for the tops to grow out a bit. I am hoping to switch lights sometime next week but it depends if these tops grow out quickly or not. I am looking to start flower at about 1...

    I think that Random2 is a male. If anyone with experience can confirm?

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    I just did the final top on all three plants today. Now just waiting for 8 mains to grow out a bit. I am going to stick to my plan of flowering when they reach about 1 foot tall. I have about 5 growth to go.

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    Just a few pics I took this morning. I haven't really changed anything since my last post. Really just waiting for the third set of growth tips to come in. They started coming in yesterday just need for them to grow out a bit and then I plan on switching to 12/12 probably some time next week.

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    This is my very first grow so I am still learning but the things I have come across so far is keep the CFL's as close to the plant as possible without causing heat problems. The only reason I am doing 18/6 is because of the heat issues I was having. I have the lights off in the middle of the day...

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    I only have about 2 feet of vertical space for them to grow into so I need to keep them pretty short.

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    I have done a lot since my last post. I have gone ahead with fully mainlining all three plants and have tied the two mains down. I have topped the two mains and am now waiting for the 4 mains to grow in. I also believe I have fixed my over watering problem, I let the pots dry out for 4 days and...

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    Thanks for the help. I am going to let it completely dry out before giving it another watering. Right now my dirt ph is about 6.1 I think it might need to come up a little from what I have read between 6 and 7 is ideal. I am going to let it dry out and give it a plain watering and then check the...

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    So its been a few days since my last update. I have transplanted them all to larger pots as well as done some trimming. I am going to be mainlining these plants and I did some initial trimming to get that started. On Random2 I trimmed everything but the third node from the roots to start the...

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    Anthony, the only way I have found to keep my temps down is to blast my AC. I did get an inline fan which helped a little but I still need to keep the ambient room temperature in the low 70s to keep temps in the tent manageable.

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    Its been a few days since my last post. Plants are doing good for the most part. Random2 still has curling leaves from what I can tell from heat stress but I have been keeping the heat down lately. Keeping it under 80 with lights on. New growth is not curling as much so hopefully it will...

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    I have made some temporary changes to my lighting over the last few days. I have removed two of my bulbs so now each plant has one 40w CFL bulb sitting about an inch above each plant. I was still having trouble with the heat but it is more under control with only three bulbs. Temps are around...

    First Grow CFL in 3x3 Tent

    All three have broke soil. Ice and Random2 both have leaves showing. Random1 still has the seed shell on it. I moved my tent to the other room with air conditioning and temps have gone down a bit still in the high 80s with lights on though. Here are some pics of the progress.
