it should be, just check it in the AM and make sure it isnt to close to it. cfl's need to be close to get all the lumens from them! otherwise you get a plant that stretchs way to much. check you plant after 30 mins and feel the top leafs. if they feel to warm move it a bit farther away until you get a fan

oh ya. not warm but the lights are close : ) Ill be gabbing the Y socket and a small fan tomorrow. Im trying to spend as less as possible on this grow.im at about $28 right now. Dont want to spend a whole lot more, but the Y socket and Fan are mandatory! Thank you so much for your advise TK (always +Rep for you : )

everything looks to be great. get those walls white, tinfoil or Mylar preferably. my GF tells me you can get it at the dollar store, so i am heading over there first thing tomorro. i am reconstructing my box soon, so it can be a bit more steady than styrofoam and cardboard haha. but tinfoil is working for me so far! try and get and oscilating fan

Yup Yup, And I have holes poked in the sides of the box(top and bottem) for air flow. What about my time cycle. I know to change it over to 18/6 but my "night cycle" is at 2pm in the day. so its still kinda bright. So is it to late to switch the "night cycle" to like 3am? or will a little bit of light hurt them? I know in FAQ it says that it can make it a herme but what do you think?

actually i changed mine part way through. i left the light on for almost 24 hours one day and then turned it off at midnight, so my cycle runs midnight off lights on at 6 am when my gf and i get up for work. its perfect! it might stress it out alittle but the way i saw it, is that some people do 24 hours all the time. so it gets a bit of extra photo synthesis 1 day haha

ya I need to get a bigger box! Im trying to find one that is like 4ft tall so I can do the entire grow inside there! Im shooting for like a 3ft tall plant. im Vegging for a month then flowering for a month,do you think it will be ready to harvest after a month? or should I start flowering when I get 2 weeks into Vegging? Im currently at 3 Days.

you will know by looking at it i think. pot size will play a roll in how high it gets as well. we dont know if its an indica or sativa yet either. if its indica you wont have to much a problem with it staying small. i think you flowering will take 6-9 weeks thats what i have seen most of the time for most plants, so long as she is a female.
