Hah well I tried growing these plants in a shed but couldnt get the watering right and the plants werent doing too well. So i decided to move them into my dorm room closet. I plan on leaving these here just till im schools out and planting them outdoors. Well here they are, haha the setup is kinda sketchy looking but it works.
If I where you... I would remove those Halogen lights... they're doing... nothing.
Ok, not completely true. They're giving you a very nice blast of hot air. Other than that... nothing.
Get more CFLs.
As to the grow... so far, so good!
theyre 70w MH which should help shouldnt they?
Flouros are better for seedlings. Get those MH's out and get more flouros (6700K). Plus it would knock down your temps which would be better for the seedlings also. I also remember readings something about flouros making your female/male ratio better. I think it had to to with heat, not exactly sure. Your lights look like there warm (3000k). Get cool spectrum 5000k and up. Hang those cfls as close to the plants as possibe (1-2 inches). Looks like there already pretty close tho. Goodluck bro, watch out for them pesty RA's ...peace
Well I dont think anyone still reads this but I got some better cfls, all 25w 6500k. I also grabbed some superthrive and started giving it to them as they seem really stressed from before. I wish I could put up some pics but I cant find my battery charger.
hope the RA's do walk in on that one or one of your dormmate eyyy!yeah keep it more secret than the fat bitch that you fucked
With the plants at that size, you need only have the two cfl's on for a couple of weeks. I use the shop light reflectors and hang them one inch from the plant. In the future, use the MH from the top and use the cfl on the sides of the plant.

Haha yea my RA lives across the hall sadly though Ive realized that they have damping off so Im just keeping them alive for fun anymore. When I move back in the fall I plan on growing again, and that time successfully.
