Newbie closet grow..

This is my first journal and id like to still consider this my first grow lol, my very first one went very bad and their like 6 feet tall in my closet with like a max yield of 2grams haha.. but ive learned a lot and have alot more knowledge with growing so hopefully this wil go better... here is what i have so far

25 bagweed seeds
Miracle potting mix soil
(2) 100w spiral bulbs
(1) 60w norm bulb- will replace with 100w spiral in few days
(2) 100w spiral bulbs i will add when they sprout.
(1) fan

pics camera good cam broke

did you ever consider how big you plants will grow lol

yea lol, i wont be keeping all or even half, last time i planted only half of them came up anyway, and ill eventually weed out the little ones when i run outta room lol

well if i was you id slap a few more cfls in there and get growing, good luck

get some y splitters and more bulbs after they get strong enough

Yeah you want to keep those lights close with fans, also when your weeding out plants I would be weeding out the males before I weed out the small ones that could be females, just a thought.

Also, with that many plants it may be smarter just to put a long tube fluorescent across the whole lot. Fact is that a brighter bulb farther away is worse than a smaller bulb that is close.

yea i will def weed out the males first , but how can i tell if their male without running out of room before they get too big. ill be transplanting them into 1-2 gallon pots. so as many as i can fit in that 8ft closet is as many as ill have lol, ill def be adding 3-6 more lights in there when they get bigger, i have 2 more i can add now, but i spliced two sockets from porch lights into extension cords and need electrical tape before i put em up lol. and im broke.. 100 percent, seriously, like negative money haha litterly

the Y splitter is new to me but that is def something i will be getting,

Be careful with your electrical work then.......also, If you put a set of selves up you could put more plants up there.

the "normal bulbs" probably will not work. if they have a filament that glows in them then you are doing it wrong. get more CFLs or a long tube.
other than that, good luck.

...yeah, your just wasting energy with those bulbs

here are two pics from day 2, only 2 sprouted up so far. im hoping to get some money here soon, finnally got a job haha, and upgrade to (2) 4ft shop lights that hold two bulbs each, and still use the other socket lights. if i dont go through with that i will at least get Y splitters and then have 10+ 40 w cfls , on hopefully like 4 plants. i know its not enough, but its what i got.

forgot to post the pics lol here they are

get those incandescents out, they will produce too much heat with no benefit. replace them with moar "spiral bulbs" and get some y splitters. have you got any ventilation?
chazz

open closet door and a fan is all vent i will have. and yea im going to be getting rid of the round bulbs for now im backing them off a little so they dont burn em, its about 79F.

dude if you can afford those shop lights, you can definitely afford a 150W or 200W HPS, i got my HPS off eBay for $89 bucks. It would be worth it come flowering time.

wow sorry i didn't notice how out of date my comment was. I gotta stop doing that.
