semi-stealth rubbermaid micro cfl grow with pictures

[puffinchron]

So my this is my first official grow, i'm growing one bagseed plant lst'd about 7 weeks old and one week into flower. I planted straight to ffof and I just got my big bloom and tiger bloom so the first time I feed it was yesterday at 1/4 strength. The lighting is 3x 26w cfl's(will add more later), two 120mm case fans for exhaust. At about 9 days into flower I can see pistils on this girl now. (sorry for the pic quality, iphone3gs) More pics comin' soon.

Ive added one cfl since last week, temps between 83-76 and all seems to be going well. I picked up some yeast today so i'll be adding some homemade co2 soon

 

[puffinchron]

ok I just figured out how to do large big pictures so the rest of my pics will be better.

Hey man, looking good for your first time, just wanted to say be careful about using the iphone for photos. All new "smart" phones include what is called exif data with each picture. This exif data will tell you exactly where the pic was taken and when. Just a heads up man. Keep on keepin on

Thanks man, yes I know about the phone thing I made sure I turn off "location services" for photos so they don't get geotagged. Hopefully that works.

Pics look great! One thing I swear by is running all my photos through imgur.com. It strips EXIF data and stores no info about the uploading IP. Safer

Just added homemade co2 with dry active yeast,sugar and water. The only bottle I had around was an empty ketchup bottle but that works i'm just gonna add another bigger one soon

That is a nice little grow.
Best of luck with them

 

[puffinchron]

Thanks Superpedro. Update time, this phone actually takes better pictures than I thought.

So how many pounds do you think I can harvest off this? haha im joking I know better than that, Since this is my first grow i'm not expecting much I would be satisfied with just 14g's but hoping for an ounce. Anybody see me yielding 28 grams from this one plant? I see at least 12-14 main colas so Im hoping to average 2 grams per cola but I don't know

3 weeks of 12/12.

Awesome little grow you have going on there puffinchron. I love to see buds in a microgrow with CFLs, gives me hope myself. Cute Co2 injection system.
Happy growin'

Peace.

I think my box is getting too hot, I added 3 new pc fans but sometimes when I check the temp as soon as I open the top its around 87 or so.

With it open temps are around 75.

Nice to see puffincron

I've grown under a similar wattage before, and the buds were amazing.
With all that love and attention you're devoting to this grow you're going to yield some wonderful buds. I do not know what to do about your heat. But if the plant seems to suffer try to keep the rubbermaid open for now.

I can't seem to spot it on the pictures. How is your intake and exhaust designed?

And, who is the seedling in the corner?

Cheers

Thanks Glaus. I just threw 2 new seedlings in there just cause I had more space and I wanted to do a 12/12 from seed.

Thanks for the pics.

Maybe your temp is to high due to the light trap on your intake. What is the dimensions of the intake? Is it passive? If so, you could try and mount another 120mm fan to make it active. That would bring a lot more fresh air through your grow space.

keep it green

 

[puffinchron]

its about 4"x8" passive intake. I don't think I was clear when I said the temps in the box were 87, I meant directly under the lights on the plant. I lowered the plant down about an inch since then maybe it was too close, temps inside are around 75 but directly under the light its around 81-83. Am I ok?

Week 4 of 12/12. I added 2 new 23w cfl's and now I just keep the lid off most of the day, temps under 78.

Same plant at about 2 weeks..
