SJ Bay Area new outdoor method during these wet times

What's up forumn?
So I basically have 5 girls.growing right now 3 6-19 inch sativas and 2 teen indica's. They were all potted at different times but on the same cycle of light. Up untill recentley we have been heading for 7-14 days of heavy heavy winds clouds and non stop rain. Noticing my girls we're starting to get thrashed I knew I had to act fast. I ran to home depot picked up 2x 10.5 clamp lighting fixtures some plywood, metal shiny tape, hammer nails 100ft electrical cord, 3 plug outlet extention and 2x 100watt natural daylight cfl's. The result... My awsome outdoor box of daylight!!!!

This sounds like a great idea. Your the weed doctor, takin care of your plants like they're your kids haha. Just make sure there is enough airflow in there to prevent mold.

haha nice yeah the weather sucks in nor-cal these days good luck

straight up yea i live in the bay area too i know wta u mean the winds are so sttong theyll snap branches.. u shud veg them inside untill like middle of april just go indoor for 3 weeks if you can them plop those babies out side and theyll be rooted sooo big and bulkly by october november ur shit willlll be huggge.. plus he rain and high humididty doesnt help mildew mold factor

UPDATE!!!!

Thank you for the awsome replys nice to be apart of such a cool forumn. Since my last post I actually added 2x more 100 watt cfl's and I gotta say all 5 of them are loving it. Today I also picked up and started my plants on a nutrient cycle with Aqua flakes A+B during the veg stage and when I start the flowering process I will be replaceing the bulbs with high pressure sodium bulbs and adding BIG BUDS 5 star flowering process. they are looking wonderfull. They have a constant flow of 02 in their box. Tell me what you think. [/URL]

I added two small "sylvannis" fans one pulling fresh o2 from outside and one blowing the air around and out. My girls are looking amazing! I have them on a 24 hour light cycle. Tell me what you guys think

Wassup forumn!
I have made HUGE! changes to my box... well not really the cfl's are working insanely good as well as the box set up however, I realized that I need to give the girls more room to spread out and really grow to their enviorment. After carefull planning I decided to triple its size and then some to create a really nice enviorment for the girls also adding another 100watt natural daylight cfl so that not only each plant would have their own bulb but also to completley even the lighting out in the box. That brings the total box cfl wattage up to 500 watts and 6000+ lumens. Not only that my box has a constant air cyle flowing through the entire box pulling fresh 02 in and spitting it around and out the box. Check it out tell me what you think

I lowered all 5 of the cfls to 4 inch above the plants I could use some feedback from some vets

Ayy daveychaos, nice box you built there not bad at all, only suggestion is to keep those lights a bit closer.The father your cfls are from the plant the less lumens they receive. And also the cfls your using aren't 100w there just equivalent to that of a100w light, 500w of cfls would be ALOT of cfls, happy growing.

i really don't think anything can be MH light for veg.

Y don"t people buy a grow tent instead of build one is cheap and convient
