What's up everyone? Ive done a lot of research on this site and many others and have set up a cfl grow with a few twists. Currently there are only 3x24watt cfl's, 3x17watt fluorescent wal-mart grow light tubes, 1 60watt incandescent grow bulb, 1x65 watt grow bulb, and 1x120watt grow bulb with reflector. I mounted all of the lights except the 120 volt onto a flat board, the 120 I put in a shop light shroud and clipped it to the board. I germinated some random bag seeds that my roommate and I had been saving, right now they have been in soil for 6 days on a 23/1 light cycle. Temps have been a problem but I finally have them down to about 80-81 degrees consistently. The lights are about 5 inches away from the top of the tallest seedling. I built a pos shroud of aluminum foil, and yes I used the right side, had to leave a few gaps for heat escape in the rear, but overall I feel this is better than nothing! I hope

I currently have the seedlings growing in cut down solo cups and was wondering how much growth I should allow before transferring them to 3 gal pots? The tallest is currently 3 inches in height.

I also have a 400watt HPS/MH light on the way should arrive in 5-8 days. How many plants would that allow me to flower and expect a decent harvest?

I apologize in advance for the quality of these pics, taken from my cell phone and tips or helpful advice are greatly appreciated!!! Thanks Everyone!

PS. I'm posting these pics for help not criticism, I know this setup looks like a 12 year old made it, but understand I' am a student working on an extremely limited budget! The light I ordered cost me a textbook! but schools for fools anyways!
