My First Grow with cfl's

Looking great Doc.

My HK is growing EXACTLY the same way bro, you can see that, its going to be a bush as opposed to a tree just like yours. !!!

Keep up the great work man,

Hey man your plant is looking great. They are looking a lot like mine did at those days. So short but yet bushier then hell and healthy looking too!! Aslong as its growing somewhere and still green its a plus! Keep on growin man!

Thanks for the support guys. I changed my setup and added a reflector to my 105 Watt CFL... Tomorow i plan on adding another 6500K CFL and a couple more of those reflector's too. Ill take pic's after all the work is done so you guys can see but here's a picture of tonights addition.

What's crackin cuz? You already know. Your plants are looking good so far. Can't wait until I can get some started myself.

Ya thanks, i can't wait.

awww, Doc.. your setups cute !! lol.. Looking good man, lookin good.. Might I suggest something a potential experiment.....Try making one of my ghetto reflectors and run it side by side with the store bought one you have there.. The only reason I ask is because although yours might have a true metal reflective surface I think the one I made had a larger footprint, plus the mylar should be just as reflective ... I think.. I dunno, just thinking out loud bud since we're on the same pace and we added reflectors same day, might as well work together !!!

Let me know, either here or there !

Yeah im gunna make a few different experimental cfl reflectors with mylar as soon as i get the money to buy some. Iv been seeing some pretty good stuff and i think i can come up with something great...Well see anyways.

Nice, I have no doubt you can improve upon everything you've seen out there..
Can't wait to see what you come up with man !

Yeah im already brainstorming all kinds of shit right now. I don't get paid for another week though so all i can come up with for now is just ideas.

New pic's.

Grow Tips anybody?

Well i added another 6500K CFL and reflector like i said i was going to.



Now i got light coming from all directions. I had a problem with the plants leaning in the direction the light was coming from but that shouldnt be a problem anymore.

15,500 Luminous Flux Total.

Well Plant 1 is looking more impressive every time i look at her. Plant 2 i can't say the same but i must keep in mind that plant 2 didnt germinate until a day or two after seed 1. Anyways on plant 1 theres now almost 20 fan leaves and almost 20 more leaves of new growth. I love these fox farm nutes, and now that i have beefed up the light, these ladies should really be taking off. Ill have more pics up later today, can't you tell im in love with pictures? haha well tomorow im probably going to tweak the light setup tomorow again so that i can get maximum reflectivity on the plants. I won't be able to get any mylar until next week. So that means i gotta work with what i got. I'm just having problems with finding a foundation to clamp these "clamp-on fixtures" to. My closet grow area is approximately 4x4x8. The only shelf is like 4 or 5 feet up. So i could probably clamp them on their but then i couldn't elevate my plant's to the light and ill be running into problems with daily/weekly light adjustments with a stationary shelf. Anyone have any suggestions of some type of erectile mechanism? Something that i could clamp my lights too and also adjust easily for the lighting. It would have to fit in that small area and also not obstruct the access to the room/door. That's why i am at a complete loss because that is alot of requirements. Cmon Toronto, Wretched, Misshestermoffitt, Jojaxx, Dr.High. help me out guys.....

chronic, plants are lookong real nice. staying nice and compact. keep it up man.

Thanks Cannibal Sativa, they are compact but i don't yet see why that is a good thing. I want the plant to get big. I feel like i did nothing when i look at em sometimes cause im like "damn 2 weeks and i all i got is these little 3 inch stubbs". I dont know its probably just me. Im sure im just getting ahead of myself.
