Hey everyone, just set up a cabinet, only gonna grow some personal, got some bagseed off my mateiv sprouted 4 seedlings, only want to grow 1 plant using cfls, iv got 4 phillips daylights 18 watts- 100 equiv and 2 ge 20 watts 90 watt equiv total at the mo which is 6520 lumens per square ft I'm gonna flower at 12 inches, will I be able to raise all four under this amount of light till they sex cause I only want one lady, cost is an issue so don't wanna use more lights really. My cabinet is 18" deep, 30 long, and 5' high. Appreciate any advice on my grow attempt, awsome forum guys learnt everything I know thanks to u lot ready to learn more too!
 
probably but it might be slow growing! you can always "sex" them after a few branches come in but in my opinion there tend to be more females than males. and remember go by actual watts (18) not the equiv (100)
 
Funny u should say that! My little seedlings have had a pretty rough time of it so far, I germinated them well before I built the cabinet and put them on the window sil which resulted in monster strechin, I planted them strait into 9" pots from the off, can't remember how long its been since planted them (smoke too much) I over watered tho cause they havnt needed any since the beginning, when I put them under the lights they perked up a bit but don't seem to be growing now, the first little proper leaves are out but they seem to be curling down, I want to fertilize them but don't want the soil to be soaking? The ph is fine between 6/7 I will say its freezin over here at the mo and they are in my work shop (no heating) bit will the lights keep them warm? I had them about 1-2" away but thought that maybe why they're curling? Any advice?
