PC Micro Grow 270W 4050 Lumens

Well first things first your only using like 60 actual watts maybe 270 in incandescent lighting...your gonna need more lights...40-60 actual watt cfl's should work for your setup

You've got plenty of light in there, but they seem a bit far away from your plant, also you'd get a lot more space and efficiency out of your grow if you could find a way to mount them horizontally.
If you look through my journal there are some pics of the PC set-up I plan to use once I pop some seeds to show what I mean.
Do you plan to employ some training techniques to get as much out of your space as possible?
Do you plan to do a 12/12 from seed? or will you be vegging your plant? I ask cause it seems you've got mostly 2700k and if you're hoping to veg you'll want to get some 5000k or 6500k bulbs.

Height is def going to be an issue, i recommend taking D.tea's advice and finding a way to mount them horizontally. The plant looks great though, no signs of stretch

Or you could stick a couple more books under it...2 inches away is best

thanks for all the advice, unfortuantly i can not change the way the lights are mounted, i glue'd and mounted the surge to the top which was a dumb idea, well lesson learned, im hoping i can LST her and keep her in the case. Right now im running her on 18/6 and i plan to veg her for around 15-20 days.

If thats the case, I would maybe only veg for about a week or so tops, or else you'll run into some serious space complications.

im thinking i will veg for 10 days and train her as she grows....just going to play it by ear. we are on day 2 of veg, i will post new pics in a couple of days.

Hey guys, here is a small update, we are currently on day 18(day 4 of veg). i have started to train her and i raised her closer to the lights, my nutrients should be here any day now. Any thoughts on whether i should remove some of the lower branches to have the plant focus more on the top?.. what do you guys think?

How can you be on day 18, but only day 4 of veg? Not quite sure thats how it works...
Anyway, you should most certainly not trim anything on a plant so young, let it grow, later in its life trimming some lower leaves can help, and CFL's wont be penetrating that far anyway. Otherwise looks good, nice tight nodes and not much stretching
Good luck!

i guess i might of calculated it wrong, i planted her in the ground christmas eve, dec 24th. sorry new to this

If this is your first grow im gonna go ahead and give you a BRAVO start...VERY tight growth so far I wish mine looked like that from the start. id try and squeeze at least 2 more CFL's in there though.....also, miracke grow isnt ideal cause it fucks up your nute feeding if you use nutes. if you LST right and maybe fit a small screen in their ittl work id start flowering now tho

ahh I now see youre using a low ryder strain thats where that tight growth comes from

i took out the 2 small cfls and added 2 1600 lumen, so now im at around 5000-6000. Thats for the support. i think im going to switch her to flower sunday. give her like 2-3 more days on this cycle

I am curious to know how your carbon filter is set up. maybe post a few pics for me?

its pretty rigged, i went to home depot and bought normal high odor absorb carbon filter and cut small squares and put it between my outtake fan and case. she isnt smelling much yet, so im not even sure how good this will work. i guess we will find out lol
i woke up this morning and her bottom leaves were turning yellow...is this normal? she is 18 days old.

hmm, probably something water/nutrient related. Do you use tap-water? A lot of people overlook just how acidic their tap-water can be, particularly in urban areas. A relatively simple way to counter this is to sunbake it for 24h (at least, but I usually just do up a couple 2L bottles of water at the start of the grow so that in the end I've got some really simple water)

Also, if you do up one big batch of water it helps you keep track of how much your girls been drinkin'. I personally found this system really informative in my first grow, gives you one more thing to talk to her about , and you always wanna hear what you plant has to say!

I suppose it could be your soil, some people will tell you that any time release nutes and stuff will stress you little girls. Did you go with one of those products?
Either way, you'd be surprised how she'll knuckle through this.
Maybe she just wants some nutes! Either way, lots going on there, and I'm sure she'll perk up soon!

Mind if you take an all encompassing picture of your set-up? Just curious to see the 'scale' ya know? Always helps me understand the goal more, so I can dole out good advice.
Toke on bro.

here is some pictures. i am currently watering the plant every 3 days with distilled water...im waiting on my ph soil meter to come in. so im not sure if my ph is off. my nutes should be here any day...any advice?

smart thinking with the carbon filter.

I use tap water but i fill a 3 gallon jug and let it sit for two days before i use it for watering my plants. The chlorine will die after the first 40 hours. making it a lot safer for the plants.
I used two jugs and switched between the two every 2 or 3 days.

When did you last water? I might do a bit of a 'flush' see if that helps, if nothing it'll give you a nice clean base to add your nutes?
