first indoor using fluro, interesting

[akisgift]

This is my first ever indoor grow using fluros, i have 75w equivalent
grow tubes, one 100w equivalent warm, one 50w equivalent warm, and one 100w equivalent soft white. my baby is about 6 weeks in, using LST (one tie made so far). seems to be growing kind of slow to me. most likley my lighting and my soil choice. My next grow i plan on doing things a whole lot differently. This is my educational grow. I have a 250w hps on the way. I have a very small grow space as you can see so i have alot of restrictions. I am not growing for the ultimate, or to provide, just to grow myself a tasty little treat. lol.. any feedback, advice would be very very much appreciated. (I made big changes to my ventilation and intake setup tonight, there is now a fan to draw heat from lamps.. not in these pics. practice for when the hps comes due to my small space.)
will get new pics posted when i can.

ALSO! i forgot one MAJOR factor haha, way high. my baby suffered from a magnesium deficiency i believe.about half her leaves turned nasty yellow and died, had to cut them off... about all her main fan leaves were cut... so shes probably less than half the size she should be shes recovered now though and doing much better!

Looks like a promising setup, I never had any luck with floros myself.
What is the height restriction? With a 250W HPS on the way you could get like 6 ounces from that 1 plant if you train it to grow ScrOG. I am hoping you went out and bought some plant feed to compensate for the magnesium deficiency...lol

Damn you said ur plants are 6 weeks in? My plants are 6 weeks in and almost 2 feet tall and all ive used is 2 CFL's. Flouro's aparantly aren't the way to go....I say ditch em

CFL is compact florescent...

i am growing under a similar florescent setup, but my plants are only 3 inches away from the lights and look great - try moving them closer unless they put off too much heat (which isn't likely)

id repot that plat right away
when you dont have the soil all the way up to the top you not using your container effeciently and it could create airflow problems around the plant. also it will get your plant closer to your lights.
just let the soil dry out a bit..not too much...tip the container over and slide out the rootball...and refill the pot with enough fresh soil
to make the base of the plant even with the rim of the container.
also if you havent already started, its time to start giving that plant some nutes.

just remember the magnesium def. comment.....your prolly already using nutes then lol....:smokin:
