WHAT"S GOOD!!??
Let me start by saying, up until recently, I had verrrry little knowledge on growing, so be kind...

Let me try to catch you up to where I am now...
As of right now, I have 3 plants going.
1 is a clone from a DISPENSARY.. LA CONFIDENTIAL FEMALE...named SUZIE(about a month old?)
2 sprouts from random medicinal bagseed (about 5 days old.) named MULVA + ELAINE

I have 1 closet I am using right now, with 4 42w/2600k CFL bulbs doing their thing.
JUNE 4

I also have a fan providing the gentle breeze.

here are some shots from JUNE 8


here's a good shot at the progress of the 2 sprouts from JUNE 8...

As of now I am very worried that my LA CON will be gangraped by the two unknown strains/genders, but Ill take it a day at a time.

So now here I am... i thought long and hard and decided to order a 400 Watt Electronic Ballast Hydroponic Grow Light Kit off ebay with an HPS bulb & MH bulb...

I figure I should plenty of lights for VEgging + Flowering now... especially with only 1 legit plant so far.
Ill have to decide between the 2 bulbs..

I still have a lot of research on using the HPS system, but
I will be using the corner of a bedroom I don't use that is very secluded AS MY FLOWERING ROOM. I will hang the HPS bulb from a shelf I will make ASAP. I figure I will also throw some 2700 CFL's on the plant at that point as well.
Here is a shot of the room... I will obviously have to tape some black garbage bags over the window...

I figure if I decide to flower a couple more plants it will be way easier to ventilate in a room with a huge window...

I went on a bit of a spending spree last night and also ordered a New Wave T5 High Output Fluorescent Grow Light 2ft 4 Lamp for my VEG room...
How many 6500 CFL lights would go well with this? Right now I have 4. Too many?

I REALLY appreciate any help ANYONE can provide.. the more info I get the better.. this is ALL A 1st FOR ME.. WORKING with a t5 setup for vegging and HID for flowering 1 - 2 plants at a time SCARES ME..
I can't wait for my flowering kit even though I won't be using it for awhile.

I really wanna do right here... lol
Ill be sure to keep my shots updated!!
ANY ADVTICE , TIPS, OR QUESTIONS YOU GOT , THROW EM OUT
take care

hey guys.. so I got the T5 setup today.... I tried figuring out a way to hang it in my closet , and decided to switch closets down the hall... Much easier to hang in the new closet.
THE OLD CLOSET

THE NEW CLOSET

I still have the 3 plants going... a month'ish old clone, Suzie... and 2 unknown gender sprouts(Elaine, Mulva).




I hooked up the four old 42W 6500k CFL's for the sides, and also bought some mylar for reflection. My VEG room is finally looking like a VEG room... as ghetto as the setup is lol...

How is everything looking so far?

Im feeding DUTCHMASTER GOLD nutes to the clone every 3 - 4 days or so...





Im still looking ahead to the flowering room, but don't have to worry for awhile.
Im also going to have to transplant out of these POTS, which is going to be hard... any thoughts?



THANKS GUYS!!!
