First Grow, Using CFL's

yeah. cant believe they cost so much its crazy lol. gonna head out now laters

Def need a pick update. Sounds like things are moving along well though. 5 gallon pot should me more than you need and make your plant very happy. HPS set-ups arn't all that expensive. You could get a cheap magnetic ballast and socket for $150 from HTGsupplies. The real expense is dealing with the power usage as well as the heat. Once you add a HID you'll need to add a good reflector, and then two good exhaust fans (one for light and one for room) and then you might need to rewire your houses electricity... HTG has 400w HPS kits with ballast, bulb, and reflector for $189.00. With a 400w wouldn't need to rewire anything nor does it put out as much heat as the 1000w.

I guess alot of this depends on what you think is expensive though.

yeah it does depend iguess. some peoples ideas of expensive and others are two totally different things lol.

heres some pics. i went into flower today! ya i could have waited, but i just want to get on with it haha.

Wow TK! Shes doing fantastic!!! Great work so far and congrads on starting the flowering, It wont be long ull be loading that bowl!!! : P

i have perfect temp for flower right now. Its funny you say she looks bushy, because i gave her a trim of all her big leaves that were brown and yellow at the bottom. i will be starting some nutes on her very very soon. not sure of the brand. i may have someone coming to town and dropping them off, OR i may be gonig to pick some up in 10 days. i switched to 12/12 this morning. OH WOW! lights just went out for her, kinda freaked me out haha.

I am going to leave 2 42 W 6700K CFL's in as i have 4 Other 42W 2700K's in there as well. so i am running at 252 W's i may have an HPS coming for my next grow and i am also in the process of building a Veg room or perhaps a Flowering room. cant decide what i want to do yet. but as soon as i know, you will know.

i have 7 Cola's right now. and im very excited about that. its really cool. cant wait to see if they grow in the wet soil. seems to be taking forever to dry out!

I know the click of the timer is loud! lol Scared the shit outta me the first time I heard it! haha!

Oh beautiful on the lights! Im going to get 6 2700k's in total by the end of it all. Im wanting some mylar for the walls! Make better use of my lights. Ill be flowering 3 plants. So Ima need all the light I can get. Ima make it happin on Six 150watt 2700k's. : )

Thats also what I plan to do for my next grow! When These get through Ill be getting a HPS bulb and ballast from HTGsupply.com. For a 250w (will grow from seed to smoke 6 plants) is only about 120$.

Then I plan to order 5 fem.ed White Widows. Ugh there gonna be beautiful! : )

See if they grow in the wet soil? Did you overwater? The leaves look a little bit droopy like youve over watered, But it still looks fine : )

My next grow is going to be awesome!!! i have help from someone very close to me. and am in the process of building another box! so in a months time things could get very very interesting as i have a great feeding schedule and new nutes are on the way.

Came home today, chopped off another lower leave that was yellow and browning! had a bit of growth over night! but expecting more over the days to come. yesterday i have it 14/10 hrs. and i think i will give it 24 hrs Darkness and switch it right over to 12/12 maybe tonight or tomorro.
