FIRST GROW IN YEARS!..... And all i hear are helicopters

Alright so i have three 150w=40w CFL lights two aquarium plant lights 2 more Cfl's i think 32w probably going to take them out too hot im sure.. i have 7 plants in a 3ftx2ft box started seeds from twelve twelve. The two big ones are 4 days shy of a month old. The rest are a week shy from being 4 weeks old. The little ones look like there in shock , but i realized i might need to use more water i only use two Ozarka bottles of water. No signs of male or female. Fire hazard umm.... YEAH. I honestly just want some quick bud, and now I find myself stuck in the closet. No doubt one of the most stressful anxiety filled most relaxing most beautiful thing i do

Seriously though.. I'm dr. Green thumb as far as my ego go's knowledge wise im not expert.Yet . What do u think? I'll start with that...?!!

Here's a thought..your a loser

I'm not trying to discourage you man, at least you are trying to grow.. But I grow with CFLs 12/12fs also, and my plants are usually the size of yours in their first 10 days.. Did you just dig up some dirt from your back yard and throw it in cups or something? What kind of genetics are you using, did you just plant some seeds from a sack of brick weed you bought? At the rates your plants are going it's going to take them 2 months before they are even mature enough to flower.. You can't just throw seeds in dirt and give them water every few days.. There's no such thing as quick easy bud, you have to put in the time and effort to get the results.. You'll be lucky to yield a 20 sack the way you grow is looking now..

I must have effed them up early. I used some like flower vegetable potting mix and i used these little cardboard seed things lol supposedly they dissolve in soil and the seeds where out of different sacks but all pretty good smoke. I just added 4 out of 6 lights like yesterday

Don't listen to that. Some strains are faster than others. On top of that, the bigger that starting container the slower to take off.

Ones planted in solo cups will grow faster than those in coffee cans.

Oh and brick seeds will grow just as fast as ordered seeds.

Of coarse ordered seeds are better smoke.

Oh and plenty of people veg for 4-6 weeks with cfl.

They look tiny but healthy. I would turn it on 24/ for like a month though. Why try to flower them while so immature? Make sure the soil drains well!!!!

Looking good bro,

I think personally your could lose the 2 aquarium lights to reduce your heat production, these usually have built in transformers that would warm up that box pretty quick. I'm guessing your running the cpu fan at full speed which is gonna take a lot of moisture out so maybe you could find a lower voltage transformer round the house, most 5v phone chargers would be enough to dim it down to a comfortable speed. You can pick up a cheap digital food thermometer and monitor your temperatures to around 24'c (+3 allowance for the small space)

I think the 12/12 lighting schedule may have stunted there growth a bit, but unless your planning on up sizing your 'tent' and there genetics they will still have a bit of stretching to do over the next few weeks so now would be a good time to consider making them space, as a rule of thumb, I always double whatever I think I'm going to need. Lets say at least half of them are male. That's 3 Little Christmas Trees standing at least a foot tall.... then you got to fit the pot below and a light above...

Potting/Flower Mix is fine to use as long as it came from an unopened sack, if used from garden leftovers then keep an eye on the soil for tiny lava and bugs. don't want them eating your roots before your little babies had a chance to blossom.

Can I ask where you got the pots from and where they adequately cleaned from there last use.... don't want your bud absorbing any chemical nastiness which could also kill your plants. i.e play doh pots... safe for children to eat, bad for your roots...

1 more thing I would recommend. PLACE ALL ELECTRICS ABOVE YOUR GROW AREA!!!!!.... 1 slip with the watering can and that could be a nasty electric shock for you and possible a whole power outage in the house depending on your breaker unit.
As a precaution I would suggest you get a separate inline rcd/mcbo or an extension socket with 1 built in. Spend a little now, save your home, your family and most of all yourself in the long run.

other than that, thumbs up to the cfl.
happy growing dude.

keep updating with some pics
