First CFL Indoor grow

[XmaxxX]

OK guys... so here is my first home setup for the winter and my 2nd cannabis grow.

My first grow was some bag seeds. 2 females and a male outdoor during the summer which yielded 1 oz of one of the females and loads of seed from the other female which are used for this grow!..

In this grow Ill be using a small cabinet to grow 1-2 females to harvest starting with 3 28w CFLs for veg and upgrading to more CFLs as needed.
The cabinet is about 1 ft sq. X 1 ft sq. and with height of 2 ft.
when the plants will reach the max hieght for this cabinet Ill transfer to my bigger grow cabinet which has 5 ft height.
Will be using basic soil that I got at the local plant shop (used it for the outdoors and had great results).
no money for nutes for now but planning on gettin some fox farm from a hydro shop in a town 40 min away from my place.
OK I think thats it haha... any questions feel free to ask!
LETS GET GROWINNNN :rastasmoke:

ok first pics up
for now Ive only 2 plants that are already growing. germinated them couple days ago and had them out in the sun till I got my setup working(thats why they look kinda streched).
now germinating some more seeds!

pic.1 - streched growth
pic.2 - the other streched growth
pic.3 - my setup for now.. used alot of books to lift those guys close enough to the lights!
are they too close? too far? how far should i keep them for now?

sorry the pics are abit blurry took them with my phone cam

Looks like you're off to a good start. You could probably put them about 2 inches from the light if you have good air flow. That should minimize the stretch. :thumbsup:
Oh one of my babies kept it's leaves pointed up for a couple of weeks. It turned out to be a self topper. That would be cool if yours did it too

Thanks for stopping by dilhole!

I've no proper ventilation right now so when I keep the plant close to the light it starts to get yellow spots from the heat(that is my guess).. Gonna get some good ventilation and more lights soon tho!

I really hope it gonna be self topper haha will save me the first stress!

don't worry about the stretch right now, you can remedy any stretching
with your first transplant. also, at this stage, you don't need much light
for those seedlings. you can worry about adding more light after they're
firmly established

you're absolutely gonna need some ventilation in your cabinet, maybe a
pc fan or two might be enough, or maybe not.

as to the heat of the lights, hold your hand up to the bulb, when your hand
starts to feel hot, that's too close for your plants.

and don't take it personal if no-one has responded yet, you're new here so
people don't know you yet and so don't know if you're gonna be around in a
week or so. you'd be surprised at how many noob's lose interest.

anyway, just keep doing what you're doing and just keep posting, with plenty
of pics, and people will soon come around.

in truth, they're already here, they came by, saw where you're at, saw you
didn't need any immediate help and so they moved on to help others more
in need.

believe me, there are many experienced growers here who put in a tremendous
amount of time helping people so don't be offended, try instead to relax,
knowing that when you really need them, they will be there for you too.
