First Noob Grow! Pix! LEDs

They will all have some smell, wish it was that simple. so when did you take the picture? VV

I took the picture yesterday

Also, seems I have 1 more lamp that I can use for my plant. I have a 23 watt cool and warm CFL's and I also have the Blue LED bulbs which I used for veg. Which one should I use? I am in flower mode btw.

Would this lighting be adequate for 1 plant?
- 1, 23 Watt CFL or 1, 6 watt 90 LED blue bulb
- 2, 6 watt 90 LED red bulbs
- 1, 15 watt Full spectrum floro tube

i would throw as much light as you can at it. all the LED's and CFL's you can man.

Yeah, but the thing is that I only have a limited amount of sockets.

thats why i say as much as you can. throw whatever you are limited to. the more light the better. i know you said you cant adjust it over the plant, but if you can spread it around the plant as much as possible, and make some cheapo reflectors out of soda cans or something, it will help a bunch.

keep us posted too, id like to see how this turns out.

Alright, well I purchased a new lamp for my plant.

Lighting:
2; 6 Watt 90 LED Blue Bulb
2; 6 Watt 90 LED Red Bulb
1; 15 watt full spectrum floro tube

This is my lighting now. Will I be able to flower 1 plant with this? I am not expecting a big yield. Just a couple grams or even half an ounce is fine.

My plants grow lighting looks ridiculous now. There are lights in every direction and it looks like a mess. I think I am going to put my grow into my closet because I have like 5 lamps on it.

Alright, scratch the closet grow idea. My dad said that it can catch on fire easily and burn down the house lol. What are the odds of a lamp shorting out and causing a fire?

Use the red and blue, make the cfl the loest priority and buy another, or your first, surge protector and plug all of the led's into it. Look some one sold you on the lights, relax. You are going to get some bud off the plant. Stay confident in your ability to interpret the results and know were you may improve. Led's are going to be the lights used within a year, your just on the 'cutting edge' VV

If those are your babies someone should call DCFS on you as they look abused lol.These in this picture were at 18 days old grown aero

Build your own free standing box. A father and son project sounds in order. Maybe you could do some research on installing electric circuits and wire a 'box'. Al B Fuct posted a 'Control Panel' he built.If you are in the US your's would probably be 110 not 220, the ideas are the same. One circuit, a few controls and plugs. Kinda like you own little grow cabinet. VV

oh shit that sounds like what I need. I'll check it out. Hmm anyone got any links on how to build a simple grow box?

Hundreds of journals with pictures, some very professional, abound in our forums. There are some that are pages and pages with links and pictures, problems meet and solved, it amazes me. I haven't had time to read some of them. VV

Alright well today the plant hasn't gotten much bigger and it is on its 3rd day flower. I planted 2 more seeds today and hopefully they germ by tommrow morning. These are quality seeds from a seedbank. "Little Red Ryder Hood" which is a "old school skunk x Lowryder" strain. It's a full autoflower strain. seed to smoke in 2 months.
