First Grow, CFL Box (Day 2)

it says a different scale on the box then cfm...
it says 1.9 m^3/min

(^=square)

Hum, not sure how to convert that but as long as its cooling your box I guess thats all that matters!

All the little ladies are looking alot bigger!

I add another fan as an intake fan at the bottom and i hope that it's going to help keep the temp down, if not im going to put it up as another exhaust fan.

i found this site
http://www.nationwideequipment.com/ir-compressors.php

so i think the fan is 65 cfm's
will a home made CO2 Generator (a bottle with a tube that goes inside grow box) help keep temps down?

Day 7
All are looking great, add enother exhaust fan and a bigger passive intake hole, temps are around 81-85.




Day 8
Clara is looking alot bigger! i think you can see in the pictures that she has new leaves coming out (4 new leaves, and another little 2?)


the two little sisters also got alot bigger, but now one of them looks kind of down, it might be lack of water, they were dry on day 7 and today (day we watered them with 6.5 pH water so i hope that might help.



also i got them a little further from the lights so they can strech alittle because they look kind of small on hight..

any one knows what's wrong with the little sad plant?

Looking good man, Most likely you over or underwatered it, "from the sounds of it underwatered." Give it time and make sure your letting the soil dry up but no for too long, I go off the weight of the pot and the look of the soil... I think all of them will pull through for you though, how long are you planning on vegging them for?

All so adorable lol.

im not really sure.. im not planning on vegging them for a long time because it's sort of a test run... i plan on making a bigger more longer grow in another house where i can do it more freely..

how long do you think i should veg them if not planning on too long..?

Take them both out of the same pot, the roots will tangle.

What they said!

Clara's roots are starting to get out of the holes at the bottom of the pot.
it's a 0.5 liter pot.. i have a 6.5 pot but when should i move her?

If you have faith that clara wont turn into a guy then transplant her right now
