First Time Grower, Have Pics
First grow. Glad to have you join all of us. Its fun and challenging at the same time. Yes post your pictures. Your first grow will determin if you will continue to to grow or stop grwoing all together. You are new to growing so I will say this you will run into problems and all but dont give up. You learn something new from every grow and we will help you as well.
Read everything you can get your hands on. Some people say one thing and others say differntly. Find a good source here on the net or even here at cannabis. You will learn more and more and become a good grower but you have to learn and stick to it. Its like a hobby (is a hobby) some people enjoy it like me and many others here. Plus you get to smoke what YOU grew not what someone else that you dont know grew. Its really benificial.
Anyways,
I will say a few things about what you have going on.
First off. The aluminum foil is not a good thing to use for growing. The light isn't bounced off the way at should be. It also creates hot spots and could burn your plants. Go to Walmart or where ever and buy some thermal blankets. You can find them in the sporting good section or buy a car travel emergency kit. If you buy them buy them selves there like $2. They are made out of a material called Mylar and reflect well. It is what almost everyone uses for growing. Some use flat white paint.
Another thing. The plants will grow to the lights. Do you have something else you plan on putting them in after they hit a certain height. You will have to move your lights higher to adjust to the plant height. For now keep them as close as possible. I wold say with thoes light at least 3 - 4 inches from them. MJ plants need all the light that they can get. The more the better.
Are you using cool and warm white CFLs? MJ requires red and blue spectrums of light. SO make sure you have them when they need it. Blue spec is for veg and red spectrum is for flowering.
Hope none of this confused you. For now I have to go. Do you have a place to grow that is bigger then the box say a closet or something of that nature? Just curious. Your set up will work but you will need something bigger for when they get bigger.
Ill be on later to answer some questions you may have. Ask specific questions and post pics. Easier to help you when we know what we are dealing with exactly.
