Conditions are getting more crowded everyday and I am sure these little girls could use some more light but they are flowering right along!

Thanks....I have 3 2700k cfl's...grow box is super small and the big girl is taking up most of the light. I may take off a couple of those fan leaves....
 
3 cfl's for those plants? What's the wattage? Check on craigslist for cheap cfl's, I got a deal there, 3 26w 2700k bulbs for $1. What happened to the Aerogarden hood? I would use that as well.
 
Thats what I am using...3 26w 2700k cfl's...they are no longer in the aerogarden as their roots got to big for the reservoir. They are in a small stealth grow box right now until the new one I am putting together gets done.

Yeah but you can still use the hood! Tell hubby to take the hood off and put it on your plants. I would definitely get more lights. I have 11 26w cfl's and 1 42w cfl on 2 plants but I don't have a grow box, I just leave my closet open so it gets good air circulation. Do you need to grow in a box? Is smell an issue? I looked into those grow boxes before landing on the AG, all I heard from them was temperature problems.

I need to be as stealth as possible due to a 16 year old in the house...Being in the small box has really good reflection so the amount of light in there is plenty, just no more room!! Bigger home by the end of the week!! Temperature is not really the problem but humidity can be...once I move to a bigger grow box it shouldn't be as big of a problem...I am making this one so it will have better ventilation!
 
The big one is going to turn into a big ball of weed when that thing starts flowering. There must be a million nodes on that thing.

Oh yeah there is a lot of nodes but her fan leaves are so big it is blocking a lot of the light so I have been selectively pruning...not the whole fan leaf, just a section or two so more light can get through. Their new home will be done, hopefully by the end of the week so I can place some more lights down lower.
 
I'm a first grower too my advice is if you do add distilled water make sure it is PH adjusted first. You can't just add distilled water. Also did you get PH up and down along with calibration and storage solution for the meter? With the nutrients it all depends on what company you use. Me personally I'm going to use 1/4 strength of Advanced Nutes. since I hear the autoflower strains don't like a lot of Advanced Nutes.

i dunno if soil growing alot different or not but i used advanced nutrients on my autoberry fem and she took everything i gave her with awesome results
 
Okay the girls are in their new home!!! They have a new 150w HPS and a couple of 23w 2700k cfls. I am not quite used to the hps and had the light a bit to close and some of the big girls top leaves started curling from to much heat....damn!! :wall:
I am hoping to see some change in flowering from the new lights... I still have a few tweeks to make here and there....hoping to have it where I want it by this weekend!
