1st time! Advice please!

[J.C.grower]

sup guys im J.C.grower and about 3 months ago i decided that i wanted to start growing my own medicinal marijuana. I had a friend who gave me a Sun Blaze T5 light system and an SFV OG clone and from there i started my growing. i did about 4-5 weeks of 24/7 lights on. and now have been on 12/12 , with a different t5, now its jus a 5ft one light its been on this pattern for about 6 weeks. looks really nice.


anyways i just wanted to introduce myself and tell all of yall where im coming from! i hope to get some replies and if possible lots of advice! thanks and smoke well!

Looking real nice for a first time grow.
The onle thing I would say is put them closer to the light.
you could prob get them about 3inches from the light.
you should't have to worrie about heat from the light.
and maybee some reflective sheets around the sides and back of the shelf.



Stay safe and high.

Listen to the "fome'y" one - and others, of course - get the light closer, get some mylar/whiteboard/reflector up...

Nice buds so far - enjoy your first crop - it will taste sweeeet...

sup!!! welcome. lookin reaaal good. yea i agree with the previous advice, think its time to step it up to a HPS....you have graduated!

 

[J.C.grower]

Good news, bad news. The HPS will provide greater growth but will also generate greater heat and smell (no, the lamp doesn't smell but bigger stronger buds do) You need to start thinking of a ventilated cab or tent to keep these under control.

Standard lighting is 50 watts/sq ft. Divide your wattage by 50 to determine the area of your grow. Check Ventilation 101 to read up on fans, vents and their operation. While it's generally cheaper to buy a pre-made filter, here's a DIY Scrubber tutorial that shows what they are and how they work.

You may want to check my Beginner's Links in my sig below. Also, check out the Sticky's in various forums. The Link-O-Rama is of special note.

JC a warm welcome to you. Wow, I must say not often someone puts up pix of nice plants in thier first post, congrats to you, looking good. I see you have some excelent advice going already, make yourself at home. Looking forward to watching your grows..DD

 

[Ganjasseur]

Very nice, I agree with the above advice and wondering what the future plans for that space is once you get your HPS?

More light, bigger pot, air flow.
