Alright here's how my room is set up i have tin foil on the walls three plants with a 100 watt cfl beaming down about 1inch from each plant and a 24 " 75 watt grow light streched out about 3inches from each plant back side. Humiderfier And a Fan circulating. A couple of Gallons of c02 homemade sugar water yeast. How does this sound good or what? I think my foil paper isnt that good what is the best material to use for reflecting and how much is it? And where can i get it? I'm going to do a log real soon with pictures but i gotta get more batteries for my camera. Let me know what i can do to improve my growth. Oh they are in 5 gallon pots. Miracle gro dirt. And right now after two weeks i have the following 17cm 13 cm. and 10 cm The 17cm looks a little streched though? How can i improve the grow room?
