250W CFL SCROG FIRST TIMER

[giga33]

Hi guys, moved over from another forum after having a 'disagreement' with an admin. So lost a few pictures but anyway.
This is my grow, stealth home made cab, CFL.
5'' Ruck extraction
Passive Intake
Big Bang strain
Some soil some coco
1x 125w blue CFL
1x 125w red CFL

My first 2 seeds were stuck in very strong soil as its my first grow I didnt realise they would not like this, they are still alive and I am waiting to see if its worth keeping them.

I then germed another 2, first 1 was put in 'seedling' compost which again is too strong for them, or so I think, have a look at the pics.

And lastly the most recent germed is in coco and I am hopefull lets wait and see.

Please pull up a seat I am going to need lots of help

Below are pics of my box and the plant i thought would be healthy in seedling soil but is having issues.

[giga33]

Cab is only small being my first project but I have bigger and better in the pipeline.
Rough Dimensions:
40'' Wide
16'' Deep
30'' Tall

Dont have much hope for the seedlings But have some 'Dutch Passion' Strain in case I decide to start again in coco.

Hey giga33
Your setup looks good
I just wanted to comment on the Big Bang. Is that the one with the enhancement coating? We tried popping one a few months ago but it didn't make it.
So, hoping yours turns out great. I'll tag along for the ride, if ya don't mind.

 

[giga33]

Enhancement coating? Never heard of that

What's up Giga,

From the looks of your thread I think we're going to have a pretty close grow once I finish my cabinet. How's the temperature in your cab? I was thinking of using a few pc fans, but i'm still deciding.

Temps are ok while i only have 1 bulb on, around 24-28 lights on. around 30 with both bulbs on. And it is winter!
And that is with a 150mm ruck so depending on your room temps you need to figure out how much ventilation you need.

Those temps are quite high for cfl's, although they do get warmer than a lot of people expect, cant quite work out from the pic, you mentioned the intake is passive but it looks like you have a fan on/infront of ur intake, cant quite tell the size of your intake either, it could maybe just do with being a bit bigger (2 x exhaust)!?!

also make sure your door is light proof.

otherwise looking good to grow, be interested to see someone grow the big bang?! what is the dutch passion strain you have !?

and welcome to IC by the way!

peace and happy growing df.

 

[giga33]

Ye I have a hot room, hence the high temps. Do they seem ok though?

The intake is passive ye, that fan in front of it is crap im going to get rid of it but for scale the fan is 120mm, that seem ok for a 5'' temp controlled fan on lowest setting out of 3 settings?

The dutch passion strain is 'skunk passion'


Everything is light proof dont worry
