I use 1 23 watt spiral cfl cool white bulb roughly only 1600 lumens lol sad I no... I use no nutes other than thrive once a month . I water wen its top soil is well dryed off only.. temperature isnt to much of a problem neither is humidity...no defincincys or insects...overall wat do you think about it ?

I think it's growing more roots in the bigger pot probably suffering transplant shock and it'll start growing again in a few days. Toptip> don't get your leaves wet as this encourages foliar intake rather than focusing on root system development. People will argue but it's fucking science. :). Peace

^^ Save for this. it will change you life. your electric bill won't spike, its cheap, very effective. If you don't believe me go ahead with your little cfl grow, and after u get 2 buds weighing in at a whopping 2 grams, your gonna want to change to something more effective, i know from experience. after my first cfl grow i bought a 1000w hps / mh and a 5 foot grow tent. i wasn't playing around. its a hobby i got very serious about extremely quickly. enjoy your new addiction.

PS : use amazon to buy your shit its cheap and they have everything.

PS: if your doing a small grow just go with 5 gallon buckets / pots and run pro mix or if you want my personal advice, start of with this now so you know what your doing --- Go with hydro. Its easy to do a small DWC Setup, and if you don't wanna do HPS / Metal Halide combo you can just go LEDS. LEDS are pricey for the initial light but they save on electric and they are effective.

http://www.amazon.com/Stealth-Hydroponics-DWC-Basic-Kit/dp/B005K2VKK2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1409275203&sr=8-4&keywords=DWC+system

^ this one i don't highly recommend but its your choice, research the topic and figure out what you like.

Do your homework. RESEARCH is always worth it. i can't stress it enough. ALWAYS take time to read up on something you don't know about when it comes to growing. it will benefit u in the end, believe me.

http://www.amazon.com/Culture-Hydroponic-Bubbler-PowerGrow-Systems/dp/B00DVQQI60/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409275203&sr=8-1&keywords=DWC+system

^^ You could do this 4 DWC setup with a cheaper pump or go with this setup and set that pump aside just incase and buy

http://www.amazon.com/Dual-Diaphragm-Air-Pump-Outlets/dp/B003AKRUSW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1409275310&sr=8-2&keywords=dual+diaphragm

This pump ^ which is way more effective, and still cheap.

Hydro (in my honest opinion after running soil for 4 years and just starting hydro recently) is the best way to go. For me its cheaper cause i can't get pro mix cheap where im at. Its taxxed all to hell.

Also hydro is self efficient theres alot of maintenance in the beginning but it gets easier as u go unlike soil which can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. Hydro is hard to get the hang of but once you get it down your good to go. its worth taking the time to figure out.

Start with a 5 gallon DWC Method and if u like what u see go with something like a 15 - 20 gallon reservoir per plant and see what happens. you will be thrilled to see a massive tree thriving out of a 20 gallon hydroponics system.

PPS: you're going to want to do this. Look at this diagram and learn about topping. It will increase ur yield by double probably even triple. Supercropping is popular as well. definitely wanna top / supercrop on cfl's with a small space.

Also :

With soil sometimes you can have problems with rich / poor soil nutrient wise which can cause lockout or nute burn in some cases. gotta read up on the soil you use if u stick with soil and track ur nutrients and invest in some decent nutes. Alot of people if they are growing only 1 or 2 plants will use 20 or 30 gallon pots with an HPS / Metal Halide overhead so that the roots can develop massively and make the buds / plant huge as hell using good nutes and popular trimming methods. theres alot to it but its worth the investing / reading / learning / DOING :) its a hobby i will always love and cherish. Its taught me so much, more than i could ever have imagined.
