Extremely homemade cardboard grow (Auto Cream Caramel) - 1st grow

[maxolahird]

I previously made a topic in another area of the forum but since it's no longer outdoor I'm making a new one here.

This is my first grow and the first growroom I make... hope it's good enough, also, be reasonable since it's my first setup. Thanks

I may provide measures for the box soon.

Density (kg/m3) = 970
Water retention capacity (WRC) = 1,6 %
EC = 27,65 %
Humidity = 34,5 %

I don't think so too... I only bought the 25w because the selller told me it was equivalent to 100w incandescent... I though it was 100w then... but did some research and found out it's not. I will buy a 85w cfl, will it be enough for 1-2 plants? Does it have a high energy consumption?

Also I'm outdoor right now... taking direct sun from 6-7 am to 11 am... maybe more in the afternoon too... it's just hard to get sun where I am

all i run in my grow is 25 watt cfl aswell but the output is 130 watts each bulb. but i have 5 x 25 watt cfl in total which is the same as 650 watts which is plenty for 2 plants and cheap on eletrick plus if your growing in a small area these bulbs give off very little heat..

will 5x 25w cfl be cheaper in eletricy bill than a single 85w one? And what are the default output for each bulb?

Also got a bad new :/ my growing was ruinned by my shitty father, he really sucks he was on my side and now is against me... I wish he wasn't my father, he really ruinned my humor and happiness I was having when growing... someday I will have my own freaking house and then finally I will feel the pleasure of growing your own smoke.

Also, it may not be all lost, I gave the plants to a friend we will see if he will take good care of it... told him a lot of stuff... whenever I see the plants again I will be posting updates, if they're dead I will request the thread to be closed.

And just to finish, right now I got a Skunk #1 feminised growing in my room but the problem is my mom lives with me so I will have to find some place to grow it... most likely guerrilla or some shit. I won't lose hope.

Peace sorry for all.
