Thanks dude there all lst'd now since the pic. Just waiting to get some cfl had to pay rent today boooo !

little update got a new seedling in there not streching burnt my big plant whilst lsting it but he's got so much more growth its amazing still no nutes just water. added a digi timer to the setup. so now running 18/6 instead of 24hr.

cant seem to get my humidity up think thats the lights fault tho. i took the fan out too as ive got a new batch coming and need more room. at the moment i just open it when im home and point the fan in.

looking to get some pc fans when i buy cfl's tho ! thnaks for looking

cant wait for my new equipment it makes this looks so incredibly shit ive learnt alot recently my next grows gonna blow this away

getting new toys, eh? nice! problem raising humidity? u can simply mist ur leaves, that should take care of it, just make sure not to get ur lights wet.

I have been misting but believe the light just isnt giving enough heat, but yeah new toys defo needed cant wait to get some and grow some trees !

i removed all the training last night , and gave them there first rest on 18/6 opened the doors this morning to a lovely smell ! first time ive caught a whiff from these babys and they all look much better today. heres hoping too many arent male !

Hiya im a noob myself, If your looking for CFL`s look no further than Ebay. Im currently using this for veg:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190469579555&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

For me in my 1.5ft x 2ft x 3ft Height space its working a treat and they also do the red spectrum for flowering.

I'm in Scotland too,expensive isn't the word the guys round here (north Scotland)want between £250-£350($405-$567) an oz depending on strain.it's a joke and it sells rapidly. Hence why I'm growing my own. Been smoking weed 15years and seen some crazy prices but now it's just got obscene. In south Yorkshire I can get oz for £130 ($210) and it's top stuff trouble is nobody likes to send it through post anymore.
Just starting my own cfl grow I ordered a kit from a hydro shop should be here Monday. Just wondering if I'll need a extraction fan with a carbon filter it's a 250w cfl in a tent 80x80x160cm tent.
Sorry don't mean to highjack the thread.

Hey man no worrys id vent it personally more to benefit the plant than cool the light i think its only hps's that need cooling , however i could be completely wrong.
Ive always dipped in and out of smoking weed but recently over the last 2 years its become a 24/7 event as ive found it helps a nagging back problem. I used to get oz for £80 back in school could be crap could be amazing but price was always same. Now high grade is £200-280 an o dep on strain and standard homegrown is £140 an o. Its actually criminal lol i dont know anyone out of this area to go to so cant get better id drive to scotland and back if i had too and im at the opposite end lol not that it would help your getting robbed just as much as we are !
