is it possible to grow with 3 18w cfls..my plant is 3 weeks in and dont even look like a normal plant would look at 2 weeks.the leaves are not fully developing before new growth starts on new leaves..i know i need more light but how many 18w cfls should i use to have enought light..the grow space is a pot in a 10gal fish tank with a cardboard top with the lights going straght down.lights are about 2 inches away from plant.

MJ is not a terrarium plant. It needs lots of air circulation. I'd suggest you read up on "Rubbermaid" grow info. You'll find lots of good stuff about growing in a small space.

Good luck! :thumbsup:

no ventilation could be 1 problem

need a reflecting source would help alot too

to grow afew small plants 6-8 clfs should be efficient enough, just make sure you have a good reflecting source and good ventilation and the right kelvin spectra

ventalation is fine and i have thick white paper covering all the glass of the tank to keep the light in. the top is also a reflective white.

not a good pic but its all i got
so 3 18w cfl should be enought to only grow one plant in veg.?
the 3 lights also have a reflective shield to reflect the light downwards

[texas grass]

you should be good there with plenty of ventilation

next look at the genetics, is it bag or bought
it could a male. males alot of times can grow legnthy and skinny with real long internodes legnths and awhole lot fewer leaves

its bagseed from a herm.seems to have growth but in a short bushy way..is this because of the strain or is it beacuse the leaves arent developing right because of not enough light?can i grow one plant in a 1x1 space with 3 18w cfl ???

[klondike_bar]

for a single plant it should be ok. youll want a biggerer space tho.

[mike26b]

well 18w 2700k lights dont help..moved it to a 2x2 cabinet lined with foiltape then switched out the 3cfls for 3 26w 6500k cfls.plant started rapid growth and is doing alot better.although its leaves are very bushy more hotizontal growth than vertical..lights are about 2.5 inches away.
