1st Grow

Ok, so here's my setup:

2 - 4' CFL "OTT-LITE" 40W tubes with reflector
2 - OTT LITE 17W CFL screw in bulbs with reflectors.
11 plants in 8" containers in organic soil.
First pictures are of the plants 2 weeks after transplant. Later pictures are most recent with most plants around 18 inches. Started 12/12 just a day ago, but already one female showing (yea!).

Looking at the pics, does anyone know differences in strains? I know some sativas, but most are indicas...just not particulars. May be too early to really tell?

I'm sticking with the CFLs all the way through, just hoping for some decent output. I may end up getting a couple of more lights for the flowering, but am trying to keep lights as close as possible at all times.

Lastly, I'm just about to fert for flowers using a SuperBloom 12-55-6. I am afraid of overdoing it, so I'm thinking of going 1/2 strength or less until I know they can take it.

Let me know what you think, and any suggestions for the flowering time would be great...obviously I'm excited, but I know patience in flowering can only bring better results.

Oh yes, and here's the female (one of my largest plants) showing after just 2 days at 12/12! How exciting is that!

damn, thats pretty good. Im going onto week 3 of 12/12 and still havent confirmend the sex of 4 out of 5 of my plants..nice

how much watts per plant do you guys recommend?

and were are you guys getting your lights? I went to home depot and I found some compact fluorescent lights, but they didn't come with the fixture. and I couldn't find a fixture that was decent..

anyways I need help with lights. were to get them, which ones to get and were I can get the fixtures..

thanks.

Nice grow n00bfarm. I look forward in checking back with ya and seeing whats going on.
