Need more lights and a oscillating fan imo. Your plant will grow but to make it worth it your going to need to triple the amount of light you have in there atleast.

[Morbidangel]

and get it out of that clear container roots need to be in darkness to grow.

[truepunk87]

Yea, get her out of that container. Get some more lights. Your fan should be OK unless you start running temps over 80°f. Now,what cycle are your lights on? If your that far along flip to 12/12 any time,preferably after you get more lights. Are you using nutes yet? Anyway, I say good job man. Keep on growing =]

Sorry, should have read your last thread. Light timing ...... 24/0,20/4,18/6 are common veg light cycles. Many opinions on wich is better. =}

Hey massbud...... Couple questions - Do you have a drain tray under your not supposed to be used clear pot? Are there any drain holes at he bottom of your not supposed to be used clear pot? ( I can help you with transplanting into the right container if you'd like. )

I also noticed that light leaks out of your grow space. Does any light leak into your grow space during dark periods? If so, you need to fix that. Also, you definitely need more light to produce something worth waiting for. With your 3 cfl's and fan, you are probably only drawing 1-2 possibly 3 amps of power if using 1 circuit. Most common household circuits are rated to deliver 15 amps of which a max of 12-13 could be used. You can easily double or triple your cfl's and be ok. More light = better production. Their is such a thing as too much light but I don't think you will with 6-9 cfl's in that space. Your temps will rise with more light so I suggest you find a way to intake and exhaust so your plant gets fresh air. Without air exchanges the co2 in your grow space will deplete and your plants growth will not be optimal.

Recap: get more light, air exchange, transplant into right container...... Just my 2 cents......

Cangroit ive been listening to you this whole time i appreciate all your advice. see when its time for her to go 2 sleep i throw a blanket ova the box 2 cover all the holes. i have holes on the bottom of the container.. can i jst tape the container with black duct tape instead of takin it out? i really wanna be careful with her.

I'm here for ya man! Yes you can duct tape the shit out of the container to restrict light penetration to the roots. Duct tape the lip of the container as well. Blanket over is ok as long as light doesn't penetrate through it. I've never used the nutes you're using so I can't really help with that...... As for the two cfl's that you will add, set them up to provide side lighting instead of top, just my opinion.....

[massbud]

so i listened to you Cangro it. i put 2 more CFL bulbs in the middle. also taped the shit out of the bottom. 2 rolls 2 be exact lol. also jst got the pH kit and the water is a 6.5 7.0 idk what does it look like to yah? get bak to me asap.
