Hey Micronewb,

I'm a former Micro grower myself.. Used to run a 70hps over 1sqft. Flowered 4 clones at a time in 3litre cider bottles (sainsburys basics) only 50p ish.. can be tipped away or drank.

My C99 was really nice to work with under those conditions and some of the best bud i grew.. I wont clog your thread up with my pics but check them out.

If you flower clones once they are established you'll get nice "bud on a stick type plants".

I also used to keep bosai mums in another box with 2 x 10w strip floros' (the ones that can be linked together (argos i think?)

I'll keep an eye on this thread and will help if i can.

Good Luck

Eggy.

Do you have drainage holes in those pots? Might be worth adding some perlite also, wilko is the cheapest place to get it that I know of.

Yeah i was paid today for the month and pretty much spent it all.. having to use Focus Payless Multi Purp and Top Soil mix for my grow mixed with a bit of kids play sand from argos (£2.99 for 15kgs less than half the price of washed Hort grade sand). Once they are on the 2nd set of 5 fingered leafs i'll add some Fish/Blood/Bone in to the mix which i know they will thank me for.

arr thats ok then.
I just recycled some old pics of my bonsai mums you might find intresting, i kept 5 under 20w with ample room for cloans. They used to throw out more material i could ever use so always had cloans ready when flowering had finished.
Any how i.m waffling. Have a good weekend

the pc clones seem light sensitive until they get a good root system going , mine have did the same for the first couple of days .

have a look in my test thread MC , dawgsbollox did a test grow and put some pics up , all i an say is i hope mine turn out like that :) :)
