My First Attempt.

[Big Haze]

Well I've been reading on here for a while and I've decided to start my own grow. For right now im gonna be using 3 23 Watt CFL's and 1 30 Watt CFL. The package say's each of those 23 Watt CFl's put's out 1600 lumen's which time's 3 is 4800. The 30 Watt CFl put's out 1750 which all together = 6400.
I've decided to scale back from what I was orignally thinkin and start small. Maybe 1-2 plant's. I'm plannin on getting a 400 Watt HPS system for christmas but for right now will this set up work? I've got some seed's germinating and I've got 1 in soil already.
I'm picking up some more soil and stuff for a carbon filter from the How To-Carbon Filter thread tomorrow. I'll post pic's when ever i get my digital camera back. Any advice and suggestion's would be appreciated.

Ok, in a few mins im gonna post pics of me n my friend's outdoor grow. I only had time to get 1 of the 4 female's in since the sun set a lil earlier than I expected. Not to easy to be fumblin around in the wood's either. Im gonna keep 2 of the 4 at my place and he's keepin 2 at his. There really nice female's not sure when they will be done flowering cause I got them as clone's from some1 but I suspect they have a while to go.

Here they are. Sorry if the pic's arent too great.

That thing is sooo tall dude and it doesn't even have a fat stalk..how the hell does it stay upright??

[Big Haze]

Well, I don't know lol. It just does I guess. Im moving the biggest female in tomorrow so I'll post pic's of her aswell. I also added a 60 Watt CFL to the lighting.

Probably a good idea to reinforce the stem with something...Put a wooden pole i nthere and tie it to that...When that thing buds it will get hella top heavy and snap...Go get a wooden rod that's about the width of the stem maybe a lil bigger and either put it into the soil and tie the plant to it...or a safer way so as not to upset the roots..put 2 rods on outside opposing sides fo the pot and tie the plant to both...Or come up with something yourself..Im telli nyou tho reinforce that bitch or it will fall over when it buds.

Thank's! I've noticed a lil bit of top heavy in it already. I'll reinforce it in the mornin when I can find some rod's or somethin to use...hell..Im so damn bored now I might go out in the garage and have a look around lol.

Dude I always wander around my apartment and find useful junk...Like I didnt wanna lower my lights earlier on cause of my other plant...so I stacked spahgettio cans up and set it ontop of those..worked like a char..lol.

You could simply goto walmart and get those sticky adhesive backed shower hooks..stick em to the wall and then tie the plant to those...that would work and be much easier actually..

[Big Haze]

That's a good idea. I was actually thinkin about drillin a hole for a screw in the wall and tying it to that. But I just might use your idea!

YA I saw em today..apparently they can hold up to 2 lbs adeqautely and safely..so with 2 you should be fine..they like $3.69 for a 5 pack soo..
