I'm all for PC grows but if your old man's fine with it you should probably upgrade the size of your grow space! I don't even think a PC grow would be worth it to be honest.

I'd veg those plants for like a week max, then flower them. You've got like what? 6 inches of space to work with? Just get the plant rooted and flower it!

Good luck!

he told me i could move them upstairs in our closet. its like an upstairs attic kind of thing. gets really hot in the summer and cold in winter so i dont know how i could keep the temp. in range. plus, im on a tight budget right now. if this one is succesful then im deff upgrading

well if your dads ok with it, first of all i would get more space dude. just build a box dude, ill show u some pics of my grow area once im finished building and maybe you can get some ideas, but i guess untill then this is ok. but bag seeds not really a great candidate for a pc grow, i would get some lowryder or somthing small, and like brettweir said flower asap since you dont have much room. i'de say about a week into the grow go 12/12. try to add 1 more cfl too.

Hey trippyhippy OG, first off, welcome to RIU! I agree with the others that you should upgrade in space, but may I suggest you do it gradually. May I also suggest upgrading to a cabinet grow in the future? I'm thinking about moving my grow to a cab grow. Anyways great looking seedlings you got there, happy growing!

im actually in the middle of building my cab right now, so i will post pics of doind it and will give you the list of supplys i used, so far it has costed about 50$ for the wood and screws, this is if you already have a drill wich you can pick up for like 30$ or you can do it manually but i dont think that would be very easy lol. its 3'4" high x 4' 7" wide X 2' 4" deep (this is the inside area, not the actuall hight wich you would have to add a about an inch wich is the wood.)

so i went ahead and did a little improvement.

-i got a 45 gal rubbermaid tub ( actually have 2 but using this set up right now for these)
- 4 26 watt cfls
-little desk fan i found around here
- and the 2 floro tubes in the back ground but there not pluged up just something i had and put in there to see how it would look

i have 4 26 watt cfl (6500) for veg and 4 (2700) for flower with the 2' floro tubes. everything looks like its going good so far what do you think?
