Slow grow?

[magsteria]

Hey guys.

I'm using CFLs and I think my grow is kind of slow paced and I am in the impression that it's because of the light bulbs I'm using.

I'm currently using 4 bulbs:
2pcs of 26w daylight
1pc 24w daylight
1pc 20w warm

My grow box has 8 bulbs installed to it but I can't turn on the other 4 bulbs since I don't have an exhaust yet. I've tried it a few days but it gets really hot inside. (I've already bought an exhaust though but it might take up to 2 weeks before it arrives)

In total, here are the bulbs I have installed:
4pcs of 26w daylight (only 2 is being used)
1pc 24w daylight (being used)
3pcs 20w warm (only 1 is being used)
-with a total of 188W when all bulbs are open. As of now, I'm only using 96w

Lastly, here are some information for my grow:

I'm using a 20"x20"x30" grow box with 4 bulbs at the top, 2 bulbs each; left and right side of the box.
1 small usb fan.
medium is coco + perlite + egg shells
10L pot.
watering with 1.2L pH'd + nutes every day.
using GH Trio series.
on an 18/6 light sched.
EDIT: bag seed.

Here's a picture of my grow for comparison.

-Seedling sprouted on the 11th of Feb (couldn't pull up the picture. lol)

-Here's what she looks like now: (Pic taken yesterday)

Anyway, do you guys think that it's because of the lights too?

Thanks in advance!

You don’t mention if it’s an Auto it photo plant. She looks healthy.

Oh sorry.
Well, I really can't give an answer to that since she's came from a bag seed.

Good point though, it can be in the genes :O

Has it got drain holes in the base of that bucket?

I would say for the amount of lights you have its about right.

If it’s a bag seed, chances are it’s probably a photoperiod seed, in which case she has plenty of time to put on more growth before flipping.

i did poke some holes at the bottom part of the pot. a lot of it. lol.

also, are you saying that the 188w would do just fine? it's just that I cant use all of it right now due to heat problems

i do hope it's a bag seed. i did re-pot her from a small pot to the 10L pot.
then again, it has already been 2 months from the time she sprouted
