Welcome to my hydroponic CFL grow,

I have (3) G13 x Haze seedlings that were planted 6 days ago. They will go from start to finish in a cabinet that has 10 cfl bulbs in it. I just built this cab a month ago so I don't know how it will perform. The air is well circulated and the air inlet is hooked to a portable a/c so heat shouldn't be an issue. This is what I'm working with:

(6) 32 watt CFL bulbs
(4) 27 watt CFL bulbs
"Emily's Garden" complete hydro set-up - made by HydroFarm
Flora Nova, Floralicious & Kool Bloom Liquid for nutes

Oh and my little cloning station that you can see below the hydro tray will be coming out of the cab in a couple of days.
Feel free to ask me any questions that pertain to this grow journal...Thanks

Got them at home depot and they were $2.49 each. I'm using a 4 bulb bathroom vanity for my lights with splitters in each socket, plus one of the splitters has a splitter...lol. That's how I ended up with 9 bulbs. I would have more but they physically won't fit.

Hey man cool grow setup, i like!
Quick question, err advice really. You don't think your cab will get too cold during the lights off period do you? I noticed you said your intake was a/c?
Suscribed!

Duece.

Thanks alot. No, it only goes down to 68-70 when the lights are out so I think they'll be ok. The reason it won't get that cold is the exhaust has a one way valve on it so when my exhaust fan is shut off (when the lights are out), there is no way the a/c will be able to push air into the box because it's air tight (after many tubes of caulk). You can see in the pic, there's an air inlet on the bottom (hooked to a/c) and the exhaust fan (to attic) is mounted to the side of the cab.

No but right next to where you find the splitters you can find plug-socket adapters for 1.50

yup, that's what I was gonna say. That's your only option if you need to plug them in but you could use the plug-in adapter and then use a Y-splitter with that.

Thank you very much. It probably took me about 15 hours over a weeks time to build it. I just wish I would have started with a bigger cabinet but I already had this one and it wasn't being used.

Thank you...Yeah I'd be splitting more of the splitters in my cab if I had the room because the light fixture I'm using is capable of safely running 400watts and I'm only using 300watts. The bulbs are literally touching each other as it is now so I think I'm at maximum capacity...lol

Here they are on day 8. I know I posted pics less than 24hrs ago but I just changed my water so I figured I'd post a few more. From now on I'll only be posting 2 pics each time because the plant in the back corner is a pain in the ass to photo.

PH is 5.9
PPM is 279
Cabinet Temp is 78.3
Humidity is 50%
