First Lowryder #2 - 600 Watt CFL - Closet Grow Newbie

[McScallion]

get a fan above the lights to keep down the heat they look a little stressed and then use another fan to blow kinda on an angle downwards towards them for some ventilation. no more transplants u don't want to stress the short lived lades

I just added the extra fan up top facing downward usually I can tell if they grown overnight or during the day but after the transplant I don't think they have grown

well, they have been under some stress. give them a day or two before you freak out. as long as they still look happy. the fan above the lights doesn't have to be facing down towards the plants. think of it to just blow the heat that rises away from all the plants. so face it away from them. then have the other fan (thats not above the lights) pointing towards the plant take a pic so i can see what u got going

 

[McScallion]

ok so i fixed the fans. the picture is sorta sideways but i dont know how to fix that on here lol so bear with me. i also did notice that some of my plants curled a little bit. what could cause that, stress? ive searched around and it could pretty much be a lot of things

 

[McScallion]

if you look in my journal it will have a great example of LST

your grow looks really good too. yours is an outdoor in pot grow i see. the lst looks like its working and goring great too

 

[Deege420]

stick a box under that large fan or some books so it hits the heat a little better and gets it outa there and move it back from the plants a little. they look good bud i wouldn't worry about the curling too much yet, unless it gets worse. it could just be the poor ventilation(which is now fixed ) so just let her stress level go down and keep doing what your doing otherwise.

 

[McScallion]

they still haven't shown any sign of growth

 

[Deege420]

dont stress too much buddy, as long as they are not showing any signs of getting worse they WILL get better. MJ is a very forgiving plant. your doing good, what day is this now? you will be fine brotha. its your first grow its not gonna be perfect, you should be happy with any product. and I'm sure you will have plenty in the end

 

[McScallion]

thanks! they are on day 22. I hope they have a growth spirt soon

 

[Deege420]

[McScallion]

[McScallion]

[Deege420]

? already showing signs? lets get some pics. did they start growing again?

 

[McScallion]

well I've definitely noticed stem growth. the stems have gotten thicker and stuff. and yes I think I have a lot of females. I'll put pics up

 

[McScallion]

[Deege420]

I'm much like you, doing my first grow, autoflowers, CFLs, so I'm much interested in this journal.

Your babies are looking healthy dude! How much wattage you got going in total? From an earlier post you said you have 12 bulbs, whats the watt per bulb? If they are 23W CFLs then you got 276W in total which aint too bad but if you do end up get 6 ladies then you might want to get some more light in order to get better buddage during the flowering stages!

If you don't mind me recommending you something - 125W 2700k CFL. Have a look on your countries eBay, from my experience eBay has the best prices including postage on CFLs. That ones not too expensive but it will really spruce up your grow room with some more powaar! For now though you'll be fine, you'll need more light at one point though. Upgrade slowly if funds are low, it's what I did.

I wish I could give you more advice but I'm at the beginning of my journey like you, you'll make mistakes but thats how we get better son! Have a peak at my journal as I have a similar setup to yours. Last but not least good luck!

Also these are great for directing CFL light (presuming you are using E27 CFL) - If you can get a swivel lamp holder for that 4-in-1 base then you'll have an awesomely versatile CFL holder. I wish I did that but I ended up finding the swivel base too late and my current setup works well so if its not broken don't fix it
