Grow Closet Help
Newbie here so here are the facts;
Just started a "Grow Closet" 8' x 4' x 1.5' & have 4 "white widows" x 1.5 weeks looking ok but need help with particulars! Soil is 2 parts peat/1 part hummus w/manure, 1 tbs "Plant-Tone", & perlite. Using 2 40w cfl's & 2 45w screw in cfl's producing 3000/5500K respectively & are left on 24/7. Walls are white, temp is 88F or 31C, RH 40% at best & this is with misting the area using a fine mist spray every 2 hours. All appears fine & the leaves look nice. Is there anything more that I can do to achieve better? Pics available upon request!

Relax bro, no need to double post. Not too many people on this forum anymore.
First thing: If this is really a medical grow, and plan to HELP people in pain, then you need to do A LOT more reading. Read all stickies. You're making a couple very basic mistakes i can see from the pic alone.
____________________
-One plant per pot.
--1 gallon of dirt per foot of anticipated growth (least 3-5 gallons)
-6500k for veg / 2300k for flowering
-way to young for misting, let em do their thing for the first week or so they can survive on water only.
-Less your doin autos, plants like sleep. 18/6 or 20/4 is better IMO
What lights u got for flowering?
whats your setup lookin like?
list all info about your grow you can think of. ie:nutes, grow room, etc
Keep it green my man~!

Thanks again for I see that you replied to my other post! So here it goes; AS stated am only using for my issues.Fractured my femur in a dozen places and back nature cuz don't wish to ingest chemicals! I gave all of the relevant info concerning the room. Will stop misting but will only grab approx. .25-.30 RH. Is this ample..... I understand 50% is optimum? Lighting/soil is as described in my 1st post. i am but able to acquire 2 cfl's exclusively for plants & Believe "Home Depot" has them. would you suggest something of this nature for as everyone (budget constraints) I'm BROKE & in pain! I am receiving conflicting info concerning lights on 24/7 v 18/6, 20/4 thingy which is an easy transition but will the babies go into shock? Have 4 5 gallon home depot buckets ready & waiting. Again I'm new to this but well read as well as open to new ideas. My "grow room" is a closet as stated... measurements; 8' height x 4' length x 1.5' (perfect for 4 from observation?) ....Ideas on flowering lights since I imagine this will be necessary in approx. 2 months time? Cheers

Sorry, I over-looked the room msrmnts.
Dont do RH so I cant give advice there.
OK, what are the lumens of the CFLs?
-Are you gonna do CFL thru flowering?
-You want 3000 lumens per sqft in veg / 5000 lumens per sqft in flower.
--So your closet is 6 sqft = 30,000 lumens

All told I have 17.400.... Can add another strip which would make it closer to 24000. Will this suffice & yes plan on continuing with cfl's.... At which time it optimal to transplant into the 5 gallon buckets?
