few quick questions bout cfl box

i have a small cabnit type box that i am using to start my plants for this year im using 2 26 watt cfls and i have 8 seedlings in the box they been goin for like 2 weeks now n i was just wondering if it would be posible for me to force my plants to bud in this box and then cut them back to the last couple branches in the spring and grow them into larger plants outside after harvesting a smaller amount early in the spring my box is only like a foot by 2' n maybe 3 feet tall do i have enough lights? is what im contemplating here even posible or will they just stay small when i put them outside in the spring ive heard of people doing similar things to this in the fall but would it still work this way? i got good strains n most of the plants look healthy i had a couple seedlings die and 1 of them looks like it might die too heres a pic of my setup with my plants n a closeup of the plant im worried about it looks just like the other 2 that died did n they are from my better strain so i would like to save it it looks a little better then the ones that died but not much

from seedling you need more grow time, usually atleast 6-8 weeks before you can think about flowering.

i believe you are talking about revegging the plant after harvest, and yes you can harvest all but the bottom of the plant and should beable to nurture it back to a healthy plant. depending on strain, age, stresses, ect depends on how long till it has revegged and come back to good health.

personally i would recomend finding a good mother plant and take clones from her and flower those clones.

theres all the info you need about clones and mother plants

guess it wont b practical for this year then i got wicked strains allready i kno that but theyre just seeds so yah like u said cept ill grow the mother n keep it after this season i guess since i cant force an extra harvest outa them early this year thanks 4 ur help

i built a new bigger cabnit and added 2 extra 26w cfls on lamps and a 13w so i got 7600 lumens now i kno i need to get more fixtures of some kind ive never had any success growing in my old box other then early veg the new cabnit is 15"x24" n its 24" tall just wondering what i can use for cheap easy fixtures instead of lamps lol i just need this to keep them going till spring time which is 2 months or so i got a few ceiling light fixtures around but they need junction boxes n im much too lazy to wire n seal up all that crap properly any sugestions on some cheap crapy tire or home depot fiixtures would b awsome the easyer the setup the better as i am very lazy lol

heres a couple pics it didnt let me add them b4

my stupid cat ate the bigger ones 1 only has 1 real single leaf point thing left and the other is down to the 2 lil round leafs that it sprouted with im wondering if they will still survive i kno there guna b set back allot anythin i can do to help ease the stress of beein mauled by my lard butt cat lol :( anythin i can do to keep the cat away from them i mean it does this with any kind of plant it just eats them n it knows what it does cause it runs n hides my other cat never touches the plants i grow but eats wild plants outside. i left em alone for 2 seconds n my cat was all over em i cant seem to teach it not to eat the seedlings of every kind of plant i try to grow she whipes out whole crops of shit sometimes:(

To keep the cat away? Maybe put a large tray or bowl filled with water in front of the opening. Or you could buy some small plants to keep in front of it so that the cat will munch on those instead. Or both ideas might work well together. I could see the cat trying to jump over the water and end up knocking a bunch of plants/lights over, which might be bad if one of the lamps fell in the water. So maybe scratch the water idea...

How about a door.:what:

i have doors they were sitting on the floor i was moving it to another room went upstairs left the door open came back down n the cat had allready got them n gone outa the room again there sneaky little buggers my other cat doesnt touch them though thats what i dont get

That's what happens when you disregard punctuation. The cat knows.

That's a cat for ya. You may not realize it, but if you keep them out of an area, and they want in (even if they're just curious), they're gonna want in even more. They wait and see a chance then take it. That one probably likes to chew. I guess just keep the doors on when you're not there, even it if is for just a minute.

You really might want to pick up some of those little wheat grass things or whatever those things are that get sold at pet stores. Some cats just love them. If this one likes to chew, giving it some of those plants might keep him away from your grow.

LoL, cats, you gotta laugh. In any case, good luck with the rest of your grow :jointsmile: :thumbsup:

lol my cat doesnt kno that im too lazy to use periods n crap and i have noticed that my other cat was a stray n when we first got it we tried not to let it outside but now we just let it go n it goes out for 5 mins n comes back to the door lol there so like little people how many people would do the same thing when some1 wont let them do it lol thanks 4 ur help every1 lol n grammer is useless to me thats why i dont use it u can still understand what im sayin cant u lol

Honestly I quit reading long before the end of your posts. Grammar helps people understand what you're trying to say, man. It's not useless to everyone, especially people who respond to your posts, or would-be responders who flee from your 100 word sentences.

Oh well though I guess, can't reach everyone. Good luck with the grow, dude!

lol its just the way my brain works if i stop n put punctuation i loose my train of thaught which happens allot anyway its hard 4 me to understand why people cant understand because of period or comas or w/e i never did well in school lol n i can see why ppl dont wana listen 2 me ramble on but its easyer for me to express my thaughts this way atleast i think n if some people dont wana take time to read it neway its not goin good right now my indoor growing is about as good as my grammar lol accept the plants i actually put effort into:( lol

At least you're honest. I'll try my best to get ya through these first problems. I've posted in your other thread. Take care
