Hopeful small cfl grow

[metalirock]

Hi everyone, loooong time reader, first time post. i am trying a simple grow in the back of my closet and would like to hear any thoughts. thanks.

- I am starting out with just the agro bulb until the seedlings emerge, then switching to more lights as they grow.

-Organic soil mixed with little bit of top soil
-distilled water
-miracle grow nutes
-3 26 watt cfls(100 watt output ea.)
-1 agro grow bulb
-...bagseed (very DANK)

***if pics dont work: grow area= 1.5ft x 2ft x 3 ft***

i'd add some perlite to your soil if it doesn't have any mixed in already....

not a fan of miracle grow stuff although it can work....fox farm liquid nutes are amazing

dont forget to get something to test your PH and also make sure you have a fan for ventilation

Go to the dollar store and splurge on an aluminum turkey pan. It will be way less hassle, and safer than the shoe box.
3' is pretty short, but if you flower at 14-16" or scrog it to 12" it should be enough.
If you're going to use MG nutes, be sure to flush your plants well before harvesting.

i do have a slow blowing fan and a vent hole at the top. a couple of them are about an inch high and blooming their first pair of serrated leaves, but they seem to have slowed.

-I have them in cut out bottoms of plastic water bottles with about 2inches of soil depth; is this the reason why their growth has slowed?

Your cab is almost the exact same size as mine lol.

nice.. then u can help me.. maybe?

-probably will just transplant into bigger pots for vegging, then once more into 2 gallon pot before flowering

I could help if I wasn't a n00b. haha. But I have a thread in the cabinet section. I haven't built my cab yet, as I am pretty lazy. Just waiting for a weekend that I can go and get everything. Oh and yeah you should do SCROG. I might do it, but truth is I don't think I am too concerned about yield so I probably won't.

Its natural for the plant growth to seem slow when they reach the current state that they are in, well this is jut my own personnel experience. I would not use the miracle grow if at all possible. My friend and I grew plants cloned at the exact same time from the same mother and he used miracle grow and i used GH 3 part and my weight was about 4 times his.

our plants are about the same size and they have slowed also im using bloom booster miracle grow but i als ohave this stuff called super thrive just like super vit and for flowering we will be using this stuff from the hydro shop called beastie blossoms made just for flowering! 0-50-30 !!!!!! the stuff miracle grow has 18-15-21 but dont like it that much probley stick to dynamite and super thrive for fegging

well i went ahead and transplanted to 2 gallon pots and they seem to have been rejuvenated over night.. im gonna try and find some vegging nutes...pics hopefully coming soon
