My First Ghetto Grow! (HELP!)

flat white paint works better and doesnt create hotspots. whats the temp in your room with the heatlamp?

i dunno cant be more than 6 bucks a light. the rig up some fixtures for another 10 bucks. so ur lookin at 34 dollars to really take a step in the right direction.

thanks loudblunt, im gonna go grab some of that tomorrow with a couple new lights

yae id get atleast a 400w high pressure sodium bulb and maybe some black/white instead of tin foil for the walls. white spots can mean manys things if you boil water and strain it through your soil befor planting it might kill any bugs or infections in it so far looks good tho plants seem to be female

hey billybob, i think it usually stays around 77 with the light on but when its off it gets alot cooler.

that a boy. make sure u get the lights with the 2600 Kelvin degrees i belive. something in the 2000's. the higher the number is for veg like 6500K and the lower is for flowering.

damn do u have anything exhausting the area?

hey,
thanks for the tips wishfultoker.

im out enough knowledge for one day and i have a big day of training these plants into the screen and changing resevoirs(so rough). they are starting to fill it up nicely.

i have 1 little fan movin air in there, i keep the door open to keep fresh air goin though.

Thanks Very much for all the help billybob!!!

those plants are very stretched and you should probably get some better lights if you want some better results, more light=more bud

1st of all its a female =) best thing to find out by far =).

now all u have to do is get sum light bulbs with the 2700k spectrtum clf's.

they can be cheap my bulbs are 14w and only a few £ per bulb. (energy saving)

u want to keep the plants between 23-28 anythink higher could couse a shock and colder temperatures 20 and below can cause ur plants to die off.

halogen/mercury bulbs just create heat that is bad for your plants and not enough light spectrum.

my first plant looked like urs did when i used normal household bulbs that just proudce heat and shit light that makes ur plant stretch.

just get sum clf's or if not get a light either side of the plant to encourage side growth making ur plant bit more bushier.

i hope this helps.

thanks

First things first you are haveing the lights far too high of the cannopy.Get the lights closer this will give you 10 times the ammount that you will get of these plants.If heat is a issue then i would buy a couple of bathroom extractor fans of a real on from a grow shop.It is far too easy to hire the lights but this is not the answer you will only end up with a very small yeild.Add a fan that will serve one perpose and this is to keep the light cool have it on full and this can sometimes solve the problem.But you want the light no higer than 6/8 ince of the tops of the plants with air blowing at the light and also light blowing through the plants.Any exit holes that you make in the grow room make in the roof of the grow room has this will cool it down quicker has heat rises.
