My First Grow

[Gnarwal]

I randomly decided to pickup some Bubblegum Kush clones from my dispensary. Built this with stuff I already had in the garage. Got a 125W CFL on Amazon. Seems to be working? Any tips appreciated.

looks alright. but you can drop the bulb until it's just a few inches away from the plants, and you should also think about supplemental side and bottom lighting as cfl's have terrible penetration

By the looks of things i'd say you have the right idea. There's always room for improvement though.

Looking like a great start! Looking forward to seeing this to the end.

So I found this awesome pair of old 80's lamps filled with shells and attached 6 X 29w 2700k CFL bulbs from walmart. Looking much better I think? http://imgur.com/a/GhGWj

not too shaby for ur first time. i may want to in the future get 2x125 or get 1 250w CFL and if u get a hood it will direct all that light down and ull utilize all that cfl has to offer, if allowed to go up u will lose out on some of those ever so important lumes. nice idea on the side lighting. gl man and welcome to IC mag

Looking good for a first grow!

Next time try doing some low stress training (LST), It will improve your yield enormously. See here: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=115377&highlight=low+stress+training

dude when i did my first micro years ago was very much same as yours! this gonna sound crazy but go buy a small mirror and put it underneath your plant pots facing the light helps keep it nice and warm cheaply and improves light properties....

Another good idea for better light dispersion is to cover the inside walls with an emergency blanket or reflective mylar. I got an emergency blanket from walmart for ~$2. There is SO much more light being bounced around now its crazy.
