Recently a friend of mine has started to grow White Widow x Afghan Kush along with Purple Bubba Kush using CFLs and he is two days into his first grow. The plants are being grown in a wardrobe box painted white using 10 26watt CFLs of mixed spectrums. He has a inside and is using black garbage bags to stop light leaks. Does anyone have any advice for this grow. Hopefully I will be able to put up pictures soon.
That sounds like a viable grow closet to me. Is it hydro or soil, Quinn?
Its being grown in fox farm ocean breeze or something like that.Quote:

I just have one fan on them but its REALLY strong. I'm hoping to get an inline fan for an exhaust thoughQuote:

thanks i was thinking the same thing, my box has some spaces in it and such but i'm not worried about them because its in an area that receives no light other than the light i use when i'm in there, its pretty well ventilatedQuote:

Not for much longer, you need to get some wattage in there quick. Home Depot has 42 watt CFLs for like 8 bucks each, good investment:)Quote:

Hi, Ouch! The one should come back no problem the other I'd say you have a 50/50 chance.
Yeah thats what i was thinking, I really hope i have a 50/50 chance but its not looking too good for the Ice plant :(Quote:

Thanks for the advice thats just what I've been doing since yesterday :thumbsup:. I also trimmed all of the dead foliage and topped the dead parts of the plant. All the leaves on the Ice are new and very small, and i somewhat butchered it :wtf: expecting it to die anyway but it might pull though I hope it does.Quote:

The one on the right used to be the healthier of the two. Anyway I'm 2 1/2 weeks into my grow, the Purple Bubba is doing good and the Ice which i thought was gone is forming new leaves, I'm going to give it a few days to see how its doing. I took it for dead so i topped most of the plant and took off all the dried leaves, leaving a less than minimal amount of leaves and as of right now I'm just waiting.Quote:

Are they seed or clone?
ClonesQuote:

I just recently got a phone, it's the same number as before. Also make sure you got good lighting that won't create heat issues.Quote:

:thumbsup:
Quinn, Two weeks might not be enough recovery time for the ice she may need 4 hopefully she won't go hermie on you but then again if she does you'll have fem seeds.
ice? from nirvana? i had some of these, and i got arrested so they died at my house =(, sad story lol i had some love potion #2 also, this was 2 years ago so oh well, yours look nice, except for the ice =) i wish u luck
