well I used my 2ft 4 bulb T5 vegged for three weeks, flipped to 12/12 using my led and I saw results within 4 days, but with cfls your lookin around 4-10 days and then it took them aoround a week to get back into shape and start vegging again, its your best bet if you want to sex them and get them bigger, but your size might not be able to handle more than two, If i was you id see which one i like and then just do a bunch of clones from it and go from there

funny that were on the subject of space... I hit a thrift store yesterday and bought a TV cabinet and just finished putting it together as much as i can. I need to get some intake/ exhaust fans and ducting, but heres some pics, tell me what you think.

Solid pick up from the thrift store, sab. I'll be watching this grow, hope you have some good m/f ratio's there! With a strain like Godfather OG, I would hope for atleast 1 strong male in the batch, for pollen collection and lower branch breeding. Keep that strain goin!

Cheers, keep puffin.

Nice cab setup biggest plant is looking tops , getting fat leaves :) . Yeh thanks for responding about the hood`s material think I`ll just get a big baking tray for now and get some of that aluminium later . As for your grow everything seems good for now will be interesting to see what you do for ventilation and the light upgrades . Got a good amount of space and will be good to see how this 12/12 grow goes peace .

SOOOOOO... I haven't really been feeling well and had any energy to take pics and give everyone an update, but it seems things are going well! We're on day 18 above soil, i ran these lil puppies 18/6 the first week and a half or so and switched them to 12/12,
They are chillin in some FFOF, my biggest of the bunch started to get a little nute burn from the nutes in the FFOF. so i hit the GROWBIZ hydro store, (they always treat me real well, I'm not sure if they have more locations, but if you are near one or see a sign, i DEFINITELY recommend checking these guys out!!) and they hooked me up with a Vermi T solution (for free;)) and im guessing it is sort of to flush the plant??
Does anyone know anything about this Vermi T? my plants dont seem to be hating it.
Anywayssss, GROWBIZ is having a HUGE sale and BBQ this weekend i guess, so im gonna hit it and get some nutrients :D... I am considering, Fox Farm, Advanced Nutrients, and Flora Nova. if yall would like to help me out and give me some suggestions on what has, or what does work for you :) if you could attach some photos of the results you've had that would be dopeee!!
Getting a new hood and 125watt CFl.
Also i am gonna finally get some fans for intake and exhaust, ducting, and tubing!
I Also wanted to know if i did a little DIY yeast CO2 bottle in my cab would help or hurt it??

One more thing... :)
I thought i was pretty clever to come up with this (if it doesn't sound totally stupid or if someone hasnt already done this lol) way to cool down your stealth, if your only dealing with a few degrees like i am, although once my fans are in, ill probably be spot on.
Anyways, i was going to buy some clear fish tank tubing, a real small diameter, and stick one end into my ac vent, and sort of close the vent so it holds the tube and some air is force into the tube. The other end either running straight into my cab or, the end of the tube at least in front of the intake fan. Does that sound ridiculous, or does that maybe sound like it could work?

Here is the TV cabinet

the biggest of my lil batches (E40 voice haha) also 1 of the only 2 i topped

This is the second one i topped! and her posse behind her. *Hopefully her*

Looking good remember that the plant only needs nutes after the 3-4 week of growth on most strains so don`t nuke them . Wait probably another 1- 1 1/2 weeks to give it all that other stuff . You can go for it if you feel but , the plant looks good and healthy now you don`t want to mess it up . Cab is looking sick dude what spectrum is the 125 watt going to be and when you filp your lights to 12/12 you must enter the comp https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-lighting/552296-friendly-12-12-seed-micro.html .
Can enter your Godfather og in a party cup :) . peace .

ya u can have a pretty sick setup with some cfl's not much money and not much time, i did however just splurge on some hydro equip that i will post a little later. but my mini cab is still cfl, computer fans and a lot of wires.

annnnnnd lol everyone gets mad that nobody reads their journals (nobody actually vocalizes this) but if you spend a dece amount of time on it and post often enough i bet you can get more people to check it. fer realls

stay cool tho bro :)

looks awesome Mr.sab !

Remember that CFL lights are supposed to be about 1inch from the tops so only thing i can say is try raising up the pots (maybe a book or something underneth? i use upesidedown pots x) with the smaller plants so they can make use of your cfl's and if there is room for it keep moving the lights closer. as close as possible without burning the tips.
