First grow and about to flower any tips?

[2amhigh]

After a month of vegetative growth I'm gonna start the flowering process. I'm leaving the lights off for about 34 hours and then I'm gonna turn em on at 4 am and go from 4am to 4pm. I have 4 25 watt 2700k cfls and 2 15 watt 6500k cfls for 3 plants keeping them a few inches away. I don't know what they are its bag seed my friend gave me so idk. Any tips or anything im doing wrong?

Any tips

More lights is always a good thing. You got reflectors on those bulbs ?

 

[2amhigh]

no. i have a couple but dont use them i figured it didnt matter but is it better to use em?

 

[frmrboi]

is it better to use em?

yeah, most of your light is just radiating off into space
Even a an aluminum pie plated attached behind each bulb would work.

okay thanks for the help. another question..my water seems to not be draining very good. im using 2 liter bottles i think you were the one who told me to use em actually lol anyways they have plenty of hole size to drain but it takes like 4 days for it to dry completely. im using soil with alot of perlite and its really fluffy. is this a problem?

 

[frmrboi]

4 days seems about right, you got a fan blowing on them ? how's your humidity ?

just thought id throw in you might wanna run your lights from 4pm to 4am as you will be billed less.

yes 4pm to 4am is good sounds like your doing good so far good luck. ps keep an eye on the sex first sign of male sacks cut em down

 

[2amhigh]

okay 4 pm to 4am. sounds good

if oyu could 6 to 6 is even better. reason being that before six is like primetime so you are charge more for electricity and also during that time it is hooter so it makes sense to have the lights off when its hot and tur them on when it cools down
