First CFL Grow (Help Appreciated) Pics Included

[SwishaSweetz4Me]

Well after reading for months, I decided that the CFL Method would probally be the easier and Cheapest way to go. My Setup as is Follow

4 - 26w CFLs
1 - 62w CFL
180w @ 12000- 12500 Lumens
1:1 Ration or Cool to Warm

I have Most of the lighting no more than 8 inches away from the New Plant.
The seed is just from a Good sack that i purchased from a good man. Nothing like WHITE widow or anything crazy but good High high Mid Bud.
Its in a Gun Case(L=3ft W=2ft H= 6ft) with glass sliding doors and it has no roof in It. Might i also mention its in a closet where the doors need to be closed.(Parental Issues.)
It is on a 24/7 Light Schedule. I water 1 8oz glass bottles water about every 2- 3 days. The soil is sumthing my mom had on the Garden Spost to feed plants for 3 months. I will post the exact print tomarrow. Just was wondering about water , If i have enough Lighting for my Grow, and How bad will the Smell be. I am Currently Growing 1 Plant. Praying for Female. This is day 5 from sprout.

Any Tips Or Suggestions on Lighting water or nutrients or Anything Please feel Free To Suggest.Also should i increse the Lights to get a bigger yield and do CFL have to power to produce a nice Yield.

I am going to Grow in all stages with The CFL lights due to the fact 400w HPS Lamp is $100. =Thx Swisha

Picked up another 62w CFL bringing the total Watts to almost 250 with Around 16K Lumens. On a Single Plant. Do you guys think that this is be sufficent?

Will post pics soon.

Here are sum Update for today. The leaves look abit droppy. I have not had sufficent air ventalation in there.90 Degreez F . Will update More
Thx for Any Help

just from looking, your square footage looks pretty small. 5000+ lumens/ sq. foot is in the optimal growth range, so i'd say you're set. make sure you vent that and get temps down, as seedlings i've killed seedlings at 85 degrees.

yea lol,

I put a ceiling in on the cab used sum wire to hang a board with a strip. I got those adapters that use a light socket on 1 side and a plugin on the other. I have been trying to do sumthign about ventilation hopefully ill figure sumthing out..

I believe if you would have gotten a 250w HPS you would be getting a better lumen/watt ratio but then you would have a temperature problem to deal with

but don't quote me on that I haven't done the math:stoned:

Hopefully ill have HPS by the time i bud. But doubt it. Really going the cheap way. Have only spent 10 dollars so far on this grow. I know my yield will suck if i just use warm cfls for budding. But sum bud for free is better than paying for it. I just got 2 PC fans hooked up to 9v DC chargers. I doubt this will be enough, Maybe i can do 2 intake 2 exhaust should be ok. My grow space is small. She looks ok just on occasion sum droopy leaves, but seems to go away then re appear
