CFL Cab Grow Log...

[kdspecial]

My First grow went ok but now I have a better setup. Since I learned all i know from here. I thought My second go around I would share to learn more myself.

These are the plants after 1.5 weeks from Sprout. This part of my cab I decided to try the Home Depot route. 27W CFL 6500k 5 right now. In the top of the cab I have a T5 light. So far the T5 Grows faster even though the lummes output is matched with the HOme DepotLights. I believe this is because of the reflector the T5 has. Regardless Its working. Just slower.
Im thinking of repoting these plants but not sure If I really need to yet. I can see roots at the bottom of the pot. its a 4 inch pot I'd say. But just cuz I can see roots does that mean i repot it?

The Cab can get pretty hot at times but I think its working decent. I crank Ac in apartment so the temps stay between 72 and 87 I am excited to see how a organized grow works out for me. Heres some pictures, I am gonna do some detailed picture as I finish it.

Any help is greatly appreciated...

I hope i get some decent Smokeage.

Lower those lights, and get ready to transplant to bigger pots relatively soon. Looking okay so far though. Not great, but okay.

Cool,,

I transplanted the plants today into 6 inch pots. In the bottom of the old pots the roots were kinda wraped around eachother. So I think it was a good time to move em.

The plants are 2 inches from the lights now I think the Makshift Tin tray reflector is hurting the plants. As the plants that I put the reflector on seem to have taken a water burn hit or somthing. Almost like peeling of the top layer on the biger leafs. As the ones I dont have under the tin MAke Shift refelctor dont have this or have yet to show this. Im gonna leave it for a few more days and see if it continues. It hasn't showed up on any other new leaves. I am going to be more carful about watering the plants as well.

thanks for the comments Postal...

The tin is reflecting heat. You should probably take that off now.

[kdspecial]

Yeah I figured as much. I have removed them as for 4 days now I havent noticed any faster growth anyways. Unfortunatly just burns. ha

I can't think of anything else that would work well as a reflector. besides a big one from a grow shop which I don't have space for.

Thanks kindly for all the help.
