suggestions on first grow ever

[tonedizzy]

Soooooo here it is, ive kept to myself and have been kind of just reading in on other peoples posts, problems, and grow journals...its a bit on the ghetto side but this is my set up so far and constantly growing just like my garden:

5 - 24in 75 watt walmart bought grow lights
1 - 55 watt 2700k clf bulb
1 - 42 watt 2700k cfl bulb
1 - 60 watt incandescent AGROSUN dayspot grow bulb
2 small fans

ive had it on 12/12 for about 3 weeks or so now there is a bunch of white hairs everywhere and just today i noticed a few amber hairs popping out! im pretty excited about it and just wanted some feedback on my set up and anyway i can maybe improve it? constructive criticism is welcomed!!

how much did you spend on those lights for under $100 you could buy a 150w hps for 120 you can get a 400w. get an hps they are much better than cfls

seems like everything is cool from, a lil too stretched out for me but looks good...personally id shell out the couple bucks and get a 400 watt hps, i dont like cfls for anything more than rooting clones and early early (10" and under) veg...heres what the 400 can do in the same grow space...

nice plants. i like to remove all the growth from the lower third of the plant. this makes the top buds fatter and eliminates underdeveloped popcorn buds.

all that for 1 plant? what a waste you can easy get 6 plants in that space and next grow you need to top ur plants so you get about 2-3 times the harvest also make sure ur nutes are good, everything else looks good but more plant for next grow

it looks good for only 3 weeks in the dark. you have a little stretch going on... on the plus side you have your lights positioned well. but hey it's your first go at it!!! you're gonna have some bumps, you're also gonna get some bud from it to smoke... stand tall, be proud!!! next time you will triple your yield! and yes, like others said, next time work on your lights a little and try a topping of FIM technique before you flower, when she is younger. good luck!!!
