[Cabinet-CFL-Grow][Red Dwarf AutoFlower]

This is my "second" grow, altough my first one was more like a try out, and it went well until little white bathtards started sucking on all leafes...oh well.
I originally wanted to make this a PCGrow and I prepared a Server Case for it, but when i was finished...it was just too small. So I decided to re-build cabinet from my previous grow - I just did two holes for intake and outtake fan really...

Seeds:
5 BuddhaSeeds Red Dwarf AutoFlowering

Medium and Fertilizer:
Plagron Royalty Mix
Plagron Alga Bloom

Lights: *18/6 light-dark schedule
Grow: 3x CFL UVB 23W 6500K
Flower: 2x 40W CFL 2700K
2x 20W CLF 2700K
1x CFL UVB 23W 6500K

Fans:
2x 12V PC Fan 120mm (one powered by 12V AC-DC adapter and one with 2x 5V adapter)

Looking really good! Be sure to post your dry yield when you're finished. Looks to me like you could use some more lumens around the plants, especially down lower, and mylar on the insides would help, but either way you're going to have some nice smokeable bud!

The girls look real good TheEarlOfTea, nice pictures ;)
It does look like they are really close to harvest! It's a pity you can't see the color of the thricomes with the microscope.

How many liters pot are you using for the girls ?

They look like they're close, one guy told me one more week of flowering and they should be ready.
I ordered one 60x-100x pocket microscope from Leuchtturm, I should get it (I hope) in like 5-6 days

Your plants are looking awesome and yummy. Gonna have a really nice yield. I was just looking for my next batch of seeds to grow on Attitude's site, and I've decided I'm definitely going to grow one or more Red Dwarf Autos, and maybe some Afghan Kush Ryders. Want short, high yield Indicas with short flowering times, and both of those look really good, especially after seeing your Red Dwarf pics nearing harvest. Can't wait to find out what the yield is on those.

Hey nice plants mate just wondering what size fans you are using and what is that black foam behind your fan in the first set of pictures? is that a light trap or something??

Thanks ;)
They are 12cm (4.7 inch) pc fans - intake is the bottom one and outtake the one on top. And black foam is dust filter for pc fans
That will keep any insects (I have only one fan working during dark hours) out and also (yes) it keeps some of the light inside. I know it slows down circulation of air, but it works now - because I don't have that much light bulbs right now.
