Nice ghetto grow! I use the fox farm line of nutes and so far so good. They are basic and easy to mix, they even have a nice little feeding schedule on their website. (which I follow pretty closely)

Good luck!

For beginers, FoxFarm's nutes seem to work really well.

you will probably want to look into Big Bloom. Thats the liquid flower nutes for soil or hydro. They also have dry mix ferts you can check out. FoxFarm Soil & Fertilizer Company

whatever way you go, plants use more Phosphorus during flower, make sure you have a solution thats high in P!

Good shit IsH looks fantastic for what you're working with, I'm also using cfls but lots of them, check out my journal to see what I'm yielding, so far so good, two months into flower about two weeks till harvest, also if you're able to mount your fixtures vertical that will help a lot... Oh yeah almost forgot, watch out using carboard box to lift your plants, I learend the hardway...

This is my first grow. I really don't mind a small yeild this is only to get my feet wet. I will be growing under better conditions when I get more cash. but untill then I hope I get some buds from this. I have put a lot of time in to my plants.

Humboldt....I have been keeping track of your Journal ( Shits awsome.) You are my fuckin Idol....I am tired of hearing people say you won't get shit with CFL's. then I read your journal that proves everyone wrong. I just have to get more CFL's. I need a help mounting them things though. and I am not to good of an electrician. Is there a good way to mount where you can just screw in the lights to the mount and plug the mount in???? any advice would be helpful.

Thanks IsH, yeah the good thing about cfl's is that you can gradually get them, I would be happy to help you out with the wiring etc. it's pretty simple really, if ya got a messenger of sort, send me a PM with your details, I'm currently using AIM, YAHOO and ICQ...

Well it's been a couple of weeks flowering Bertha and Bertha is really Bert. I'm so pissed I don't even want to show you his balls. I put so much love and time into this damn plant that I don't know what to do with it. I think I might pull over on the side of the freeway and plant it somewhere. Hopefully Cal Trans won't cut it down.
