Budda growing pot
Active Member
Done alot of reading on the site about scrog and cfl grows. This is going to be a grow on the budget.
This is my first grow and im not going to spend the money on A HPS light until i have at least one successful harvest. Also i have to leave for winter break so i'm not positive the plants are going to live through that anyway. Hope they will thought!
I've got 5 2700k CFLs that were just lying around the house already and 2 6500k bulbs that i picked up at the hardware store when i got the Miracle grow organic soil 3, 3 gallon pots and some rooting clone powder. Right now by my calcs i've got 3 seedlings under 9700 lumens. (a mix of 1600, 1450, and 1200 lumen bulbs)
I germinated the seeds on a whim just cuz i've had them for a year and i just now have my own place with room to grow.
The problem with doing things on a whim is that you arn't prepared.
I had nothing at my apartment so i put all 3 seeds in the same pot after they sprouted ( only 3 out of 30 germinated.)

After about a week i decided to transplant them into the 3 gal pots b/c i was afraid of them getting too big and then have to worry about tearing their roots when separating.
Here are some pics about 2 days after moving to the larger pots.
You can see that the light fixture fell on the plants as i was buying the dirt and stuff so it got a little burnt

The material on the wall is an old Mylar emergency blanket that i found in a first aid kit.
