Yo Imma newb obviously but quite far along in my 1st grow to be posting lol I was just looking for some advice or some constructive criticism. It's a cheap ghetto setup. Doing it for fun but still trying to produce some dank ass bud haha. here's some specs.

2x Females (Bagseed)
4x42 watt CFLs
Fermenting CO2 (sugar, water, yeast)
4" High velocity fan

Miracle grow dirt

watering cycle (every 2-3 days as needed):
water (PHd)
mircale grow bloom booster
Molasses


Day 71 flowering (have been slightly stressed from moving so might have been stunted)

Any advice is appreciated!:joint:

**pics included**

Is it enclosed or out in the open like that?

looks like 12/12 from seed. You have no side branches.
71 days flowering?
Is that from seed or when you switched over?

No matter, right now You seriously need more light.
You need a few more CFL on the sides
those bitches are WAY Stretched.
You can end up with some decent bud but you need more light.

If your shit is growing out in the open next to all that dirty laundry
and not enclosed or at least surrounded in light you cant expect much.

I would recommend you get 4 of those clamp lights and put some 42w in them and put 2x on each plant.

C02 is a waste if your not in an enclosed box.

I'll think of some more ,but for Now your plants are Screaming for more light.

That's #1

Fill that box with light. You need Y-splitters mane.
I'll post some pics of my CFL grow to show ya what I mean.

This is from my first Grow.
We all start somewhere I use HPS now But as you know CFL can be done.

This is what I mean by surrounded in light.
Also I think before I finished this plant I had a total of like 11 or 12 CFL bulbs.

joe camel is right, you need MASS more light on them skinny bitches. when using cfls, all sides and top of plant have to be flooded with light. try using foxfarm soil and nutes on your next grow. good luck....

Yeah I wanna get Y-splitters and more light but my box is already reaching hi's of 110!!! Thats the main reason i put tha CO2 in there I heard your plants can take hi temps all day (sorta speak) and be just dandy. haha and besides the fact it helps tremendously with growth!! :)

with a temps at 110, your heat stressing the plant. you need to provide circulation of the air in that box to remove excess heat....

it is still dim in there. get 2 more light sockets on left and right side of box, centered between your top lights and your lower lights. then put a y on each of those and you'll definitely brighten it up in there. good thinking with the fan. what are your temps. in there now? do you know what strain that is? those are the skinniest lil fuckers i ever seen! lol you growing stems or budz??! keep on keeping on....

The reason it looks so dim is because of my camera lol idk? some special digital shit on it? but it's definitely NOT even close to being that dim in person. I plan on getting more lights in a week with my next check. I'm thinking 4 more? so then I'll have 12x42 watt bulbs in there. Hopefully i can get them a lil more pulmp thanks fellas!

Rello, I'm sure you are on it already, but that fist set of pics with your cabinet closed showed a major light leak between the doors. You need to get that box light proof if you are flowering in it. Good luck on the grow.
