Just wanna know what you guys think its my first cfl grow

Not sure how its going to work out but seems pretty good so far. The box is 1.5' deep x 2.5' wide x 3' high. i have 6 cfl's going, 2 42 watts and 4 23 watts. i cool the box down with two computer fans from the power supplies... They seem to run alot longer.... Any advice or input would be awesome.. Also the plant on the right has some serious nute burn......

hello,

lighting is sufficient for your area. i would drop them a little closer. when they are a little more establish, like in a week or so i would keep those lights more more than 1-2 inches away from the plant.

are you giving them the full recommended dosage of nutes? if so, start out at 1/4 strength and work your way up. but lay off the nutes on the burnt one for a bit and flush out the soil.


hope some of this helps. good luck on your first grow.

the one the right seems a little bit down, what kind of nutes have you been giving them. What's the temperature? get a an oscillating fan for stem strengthening

i second the oscilating fan.

as far as the droopy leaves. it can be from over watering or under watering.

do you keep the soil constantly moist/wet or is it just been a while since you watered?

you want to soil to dry out before you water them again. they also like alot of drainage so water cannot just sit in there.

They are old enough that those bulbs can be down to 2 inches, no more than 3.
