First time grower could use advice

i still cant see any picture so im kinda confused haha

Ill work on it and have it ready for tomorrow...
Peace

so heres what i robbed out of the lights at my house i got one big one and 1 lil one for the time being and the 120 w plant light still in use till i get more cfl's heres a pic till then

also i have cut back drastically on water,and ive noticed a boost in humidity as much as 11 % in counting. as ive been watering almost everyday or everytime ive noticed soil dry. which i found out is incorrect. i havent watered my plants for two days now and im gonna leave them another day or so if they seem to need it. but since the cut back on water ive notice plant growth more than ive seen since ive had the plants. im working on getting up to home depot for the cfls while im out is there any other things i might need? which kind of color of cfls should i get soft white or what?

Get the cool white for veg and the warm white for flowering. Also I'd try to get your lights and plants closer together. I use CFL's for veg that are way bigger than those, but I still never have them more than 3 inches away.

Get your lights closer to your plants...and get a fan blowing on the plants as well as on the lights...those stems look very weak.

Actually to be honest you don't have enough lights for the amount of plants you have. Your going to want to have at LEAST 5 per plant. Your really better off to go get an HPS setup, but that's IMO.

Hey, if you want i was able to upload my pics in the marijuana pics section...check it out when you get around to it...

ok so i went to home depot got me a pack of soft white cfl's for flowering that put out 60w @ 900 lumens each and i got 2 bright white that put out 100w @ 1500 lumens each and 2 60w @ 800 lumens i got the y adapter and will be trying to get all the plants toward the center tommorow morning and working on getting all these lights put in, or should i just got with the bright whites for veg and the soft for flowering? heres acouple pics of what i got at the moment

lights i purchased




how its lookin now will add update of pics tommorow morning

I used 8 23watt (cool or 6500k temp) lights.. for 8 plants... you can get away with using 4 of these.. they cost like 2 bucks each.. and you can buy a splitter to affix 2 light bulbs into 1 socket. which is 84cents...

KEep the lights you have now.. but they wont help that much for vegging growth of your plants.. you need lights closer to the right side of the meter shown on your light bulb case. you need it closest to Daylight or 6500k..

good move on the ph test kit.. ALWAYYS!!! ph your water when you give it to your plants... ALWAYS!!! (6.5

Goodluck..

Lookin good bro....

still not sure if i should add all the lights i got yesterday? anyone should i put them all in there

will update pics as soon as i can

What were those bulb adapters that you guys were talking about? does that mean that you can run like 2 bulbs out of a 1 bulb fixture??

yes they are called y adapters they are about 3 dollars at home depot

thanks man i appreciate it.

update of what ive done so far, i need to figure out a mouting area inside so i can hang more lights will get something set up tommorow

UPDATE, i just got back from ace hardware spent about 50 bucks on some things will post pics of new items i bought for my new light fixture will post pics as soon as im done

You need to get DAYLIGHT cfl's for your veg stage...the soft whites are for flowering. As said before....look for the 6500K daylight bulbs. HAving a few of the softwhites is actually good to have...but make sure you are concentrating on the blue spectrum the most.

homegrown boy since ive had these bright white lights ive already noticed a half inch of growth on the plants with alot more leaf growth im going to stick with these until they provide problem, also i have a new spot im going to be setting up a big hydro set up soon made by yours truely i have a whole garage to use so ill be havin some crop! heres the pics i got abunch of those lightsocket to outlet adapters and fitted them to two surge protectors and now i have all my lights hanging with a peice of sheet metal for reflector i have 8 lights all togethers with one not installed yet i got a pH soil tester today also and a rapitest moisture meter and a few odd ins that ill post later

heres the pics and note i do know i should have plants closer together but im trying to get that big pot out of there due to space its taking up

OK...but just look at my pics. That's grown with 5 6500K and 2 4100K bulbs (Daylight and Cool White). But if it's working for ya keep growing.
