Sup yo, not a bad grow so far. Few things though. First how close is your CFL light? it looks pretty far away in your pics...you want it within 2 inches max from your plants...CFLS lose half theier lumins ever few inches. I know you said you were waiting to upgrade to an hps but you can get em real cheap. This link has 150 watt hps for 20$ ballast included...you just unscrew it and splice the wires to a standard 120 volt extention cord. http://www.e-conolight.com/Product/EProductDetail.asp?ProductFamilyID=7&FGNumber=E-MT6H151G
You definitly have a big enough cab...I would suggest putting a 250 cfm fan right above the light/s (you could put two in there and it would be great for that top space) and it would pull the heat right out from the bulb. But even if you wanna get an actual light you can get a complete reflector/ballast/bulb all in one for 120$
http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=47929
I would get that setup with this reflector
http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=49541
which is 170$ I would get this fan for $25 (very good fan)
http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=46447

All this for $200+shipping which is about 30$....and you paid about $130 for your cfl...dont buy any more cfls...they are ok but HID are the way to go...CFL's are a big pain in the ass. Anyways this is just my opinion (I have grown with cfls in a 10" grow space) Again...that $20 hps I linked to is just fine....its not hard to wire it...just get a 250cfm fan to pull the heat above it and there ya go...get 1-2 of those and you will be set. Lemme know ifyou have any questions. I grew pure sativas in a 22 gallon rubbermaid which only had 10" height to grow(pot was 8 inches and lights take up 4". I LST'd heres a few pics and you can check my log if you want.

hey sexoligist, thanx for stopping by. yer in the pic i had rasided it right up so i could get good shots of the plants, i normally have it 2-3 inch away. i paid £60.00 for my cfl and reflector. thanx for stopping by, nice grow in the rummermaid box.

:hump:as always kratose it is a pleasure, heres some bud porn for u guys to take a look at, let me know wat u think.(couple of single shots of the BBC for u londoner :P):hump:
OMG learning, Those are looking like some mighty fine buds. I would not mind smoking them with ya....hehe. To bad....we could try eachother strains out. Right now I got some Afgani...Skunk#1....AK47...and supposivly some Jerry Berry. My biggest is doing pretty good, but still far from flowering time.

You sure have a green thumb, have you done lots of growing before, or did you grow other types of plants. Seems like you have a nack for it. I don't have the greenest thumb, but I sure could use some of your natural talent.

Wow, its been awhile..I missed like 6 pages worth, Have I been gone that long? Kinda sick, recovering from the flu, but I will check up as much as I can. Keep growing learning.

Puff...Puff...Pass, Cough Cough...Good shit learning!

Yeah, its gonne be nice seeing that, and then when it comes time to harvest, you will be in heaven. Never grown nothing before? NO WAY, I would not have believed that, I woulda thought you at least grew other plants before, your doing really good for a first timer.

Looking at your grow, I am sure I could use any helpful advice you have learned during your grow, even though I am not a beginner, you can always learn something new.

So, did you do anything special to them, Looks like you might have topped one. What did you give them for nutes? You have a PH tester?

You probably have answered them questions a million times, but honestly I am so stoned right now I can't remember anything. Wake and bake my friend.....Hey....I would of shared. hahaha.

I am feeling a little better, but still have a damn cold, but everything else is gone..soar throat, ect. Just need to get rid of this cold now. But I been so stoned the past few days, I have not noticed being sick. Got some really nice stuff, I mean it gets me blasted. LOVE IT!

Happy Growing, I will be watching it!

BTW, The saying on your avatar....Its so true...What would you rather trust, some toxin man made, or a beautiful cannabis plant that came from nature.....Not to hard of a choice. Just had to say nice avatar.

Well, thats pretty cool for never growing before. Yeah, when you top them, you usually do it during the veg cycle, when its on its 4th-5th node. But some people top them right when they go to 12/12 so they will have to nice colas. I top mine when they are on the 4th -5th node, I let em get nice and bushy.

But yours look pretty think even for not being topped. Bio Bloom, Very good, they will like that. Im not doing too much nutes for the veg cycle, gonna start giving a weak amount in a week or so, but they will be gettins bloom nutes during flowering.

Well, I am sure your happy to get your own place huh?

Yeah, getting sick is not fun, but being stoned helps alot. You got sick too huh, sucks don't it. I just hate the cold part.

And happy smoking to you too, I have another one ready, gonna smoke it before lunch, I don't eat breakfast so I get nice and stoned and have a good lunch, haha. I will take a few tokes for you!

Hey...When I top, I usually go for about the 5th node, then I wait until the top is just big enough to clip, that way it doesn't waste time growing that top out bigger, because your gonna chomp it anyways, so I get it until its the perfect amount of new growth, then clip it off. Then it will focus on the 2 new tops. That means 2 big colas ofcourse :)

Yeah, My mom is really cool and all, use to smoke too in her day, but living with her......Well, like I said, she is cool and all, and was always easy to live with, but after all, she is your mom, and will always do MOM things when your living there. So I am sure it feels got that you got your own place.

Damn out huh? Well I know how it feels I was out for a week, but just got a nice quarter of some pretty damn good buds. Very dense, love it, A small bud breaks out to a good amount, and it has a really good kicked, I just got finished smoking one, now about to go make lunch. Well, if you were here I would share with ya, cause I know it sucks that your out, but don't worry, I took a few tokes in honor of you, and your great success so far with your first grow. Its always a pleasure learning.
