First Closet CFL Grow. Feedback Appreciated

[IForgotAgain]

Okay so I started this grow about 2 1/2 weeks ago and just got pics of the lil weedling. Heres pics of her. I just updated the grow environment so I'll getpics of that. I'm using 4 100W Cfl daylight bulbs overhead with 2 GROW LIGHT tube 24" flouros on the sides. Like I said I'll post pics of the new setup soon for now here are pics of the plant. I noticed leaves starting to crl as a result of heat stress..Probably need to start reconsidering the grow room setup. I raised the lights a bit and sprayed her with water...

ANy advice is appreciated because I want a nice happy marijuana plant and nice happy buds.:stoned:

The pics are crappy qaulity, sorry, need better camera.

Ahhhhhhh so I woke up this morning and m exhaust fan broke and the plant got baked like a cookie....I pruned off all the dead leaves due to the heat stress but jeeze, took a beating pretty early on.. I think it will be fine...I gotta go get a new fan from wal-mart today so as it canget back in it's natural habitat. Any advice? Some would be appreciated....Some advice on how to keep temps low maybe? I atached the grow seup below except the lights are 4 100 W daylight cfl bulbs now...

Advice??

Do you have any Type of fan or air blowing in the room? IT sucks your plant took a beating so early on. Heat stress can be a bitch. You have lights on all of the corners of the cab, so i think you would be safe in raising the light a little.

Ya well now I took it out of th cab and its just in the closet. MUCH bigger, raised lights put big ass fan in there....It's bouncing back slow n steady..I'll post pics of the new room setup tomorrow, gotta goto work now. Thanks for the feedback keep commenting guys.

Alright well haven't posted i na while and ahvent recieved any feedback..sorry about the shitty picture qaulity...I cant really get any better because our camera is a bit ghetto...my phone doesn't send messages anymore soo..I dunno I will try and come up with some new photos soon but the update for now is after a little heat stress and an adjusted growroom setup the little green friends who live in the closet are becoming quite happy.

I currently have 6 100W Daylight cfls hanging overhead and 2 75W 24 inch grow specific flouro tubes on the sides..Gotta get some mylar to make a reflector or something..just a thought to stay busy..

I just got 2 more seedligns to pop up...they were a bit late...my original plant is on its 7th or 8th node? something like that I dunno. I will continue it under 24/0 light schedule with occasional nutes with watering..

So far things are going well..like I said I'll get some pics up as soon as I can get a camera :thumbsup:

Until then stay tuned.

Nice work buddy:thumbsup:....but be careful whit that alu-foil on the top of the pot, the roots need fresh air......

[miley]

Is it fine to keep the alu-foil on top of the soil for undergrowth and jut poke some holes in the aluminom foil so the soil still gets some fresh air???

[privatepile]

I think it makes it easier for mould to grow

[systrex]

holes should help a lil... should allow some fresh air in + a lil light...

no light + moisture = mold

Well Day 3 or so flowering...waiting for sex to show....

I'll keep you updated and get pics when I see some preflowers.

[dodohead]

did you top your plant, i cant really see

[IForgotAgain]

Nope.. It's not topped or fimmed.

[IForgotAgain]

Wellll All Plants are in flowering now...Alas..I believe the big one (first one) from all the recent pics is a man...The preflowers are very small but appear to be small sacks...waiting a couple days for them to get bigger to see if they open up and release pistils but its doubtful...Gotta plan the fuenral i think for the big man...


All the other plants went into flowering yesterday with the big one soo hopefully we get a momma out of the couple I put in...

Starting a few more seeds for veg....

Keep stoppin in and giving me your two cents...I'll post pics tomorrow.

[miley]

Hey dude. Most of the plants that show first will be males they are also usually taller and look alot healthlier then the females at the time but dont worry once they show they're pistils they really start to grow. Oh and dont worry about letting the potiential males go for a few extra days. It takes a few weeks for them to get old enough to drop pollen. Better safe to wait and make sure they arent females before killing them.

Peace

OMG I'm back, been really busy..Moved the girls to a friends house in his attic where they are much happier, got em in 5 gallon pots, ect.

They are in like week 2 or 3 of flowering and no preflowers?

Maybe they got stressed from the move, dunno.

Anyway they all growing happily and we'll see if we get some preflowers soon and I'll get some pics!
