bickeybammer- your the man, thanks a lot for the comments and input. I have learned a lot and I am proud of my micro budget grow. The next grow will for sure be better as I will prepare better for things that were unforseen during this grow. As I stated earlier my restraints on space that I have to grow in have made me chose the small box which I am using. I like the idea of small plants yielding a half-full oz in about 2 months. Even if I had the space to grow big plants I still don't think I would grow bigger plants to yield large amounts. I'm into the micro aspect of it i guess.

str8touttaweed- Thanks a lot for your comments. I was on a budget when I started and I am glad that I haven't spent much money on anything much besides just the cfl's. I figure I can't be disappointing if anything didn't work out plus I feel like the best way to learn something is to learn how to do it the harder way. people tend to learn more when they have to learn the harder way of doing things. I've learned a lot and when I move up a bit with my next grow it'll be a lot easier and better. People think that growing this stuff takes thousands of dollars with extravagant lighting systems and large rooms setup specially for growing. I wanted to prove to myself that it doesn't take much just a good knowledge of this stuff and a little work and ingenuity. I will def. look into the led lighting system. I've heard good things about it. It was more of a cost issue before though so thats why I just stuck with the cfl's.

Thanks to everyone who has viewed my grow log. Keep the comments coming. This online community is great and I am glad to have chosen this forum to post my log in.:smokin:
