that's a fuckload of CFL lol... looks pretty solid though, 80 degrees is damn good for that many bulbs you must have good ventilation my friend.

Thanks everyone! Its my first grow, I'm really happy with how its turning out so far!
I have 6 fans in total moving the air through that bitch haha, 1 oscillating that has a passive intake on the floor near it... 1 6inch clip in the back moving that air around, 2 pulling the air up out of the grow area, a double blade window fan on top pulling it up, and one more pushing it out under the rafters That ona gel rocks for smell control for a small size area like this too

Flush????......... just plain water the last two weeks and I like to let my soil dry before I harvest but that's me,no dark period before chop...most water till the end.

Btw...lol...nice job with cfls,plants look good,keeping temps in check...How do you keep temps...about 80°?
I use 40 cfls in a 2x5x5 closet with.....about 85° temps.peace

Gotcha, I guess I just wasnt positive if day 50 would be the day I'd harvest since its bagseed.. kinda winging it haha...

Well, I have an intake on the bottom with a Vornado Cyclone bringing it in.. and then.. another fan in the back of the room kinda just pushing the air around a little, 2 little Chill Out fans hanging on the right side with intake sitting below the hood.. and then a double 7 inch window fan with carbon filters pulling air up... and thennnn 2 clip fans pushing it out through the rafters haha.. Fuckload of fans I know, but right now its 79 in there.. Its in the basement which is cool to begin with, but the room would get hot as shit without the intake and most of the fans... I have so many so I can keep them on low to hopefully help them last longer... the cfl's are pulling around 987w, so that heats up fast

Cool man,I like to "show off" my diy cfl light fixtures....this site is the only place I can show/talk about it.I made them outta roof flashing,plywood and a roll of aluminum tape.The sockets(20/$2.99ea.) were the biggest expense....



Thanks for looking.peace

Haha I feel you man, sucks not being able to talk about it in person right? but thats pretty tight, how many cfls are you able to fit under those?
