Also, hey guys don't laugh .I hope it's not just me. I no I'm new here but this site is a pain in the azz to navigate. I figure I'm gonna go ahead and start a journal and hopefully get some of y'all's expertise in here,but for the life of me haven't found where on here to do so.. Can somebody Nebody heeelllpp ????
Top of the screen. "Grow Room" tab. If you are on a mobile it will look different. In that case go to the home page, bottom of the page, click the "desktop site" tab, then find the grow room tab.
Hello, I'd like to chime in and post some pics of my 1st indoor grow, in a 60*60*160 box (2*2feet area if i am not wrong)+ 250 W CFL
I intend to get a 324 W leds (TL6 Greensun) for the next grow of larger plants (I Just seeded 2 jack 47 auto (sweet seeds) + 2 Northern Light X Big Buds World of seeds)).
I did a lot of mistake, the most annoying one being "testing too much too early" so i lost a good deal of what would be still growing today.
Also, as I only have a CFL, I didn't want to let them stretch too much, so they all remained rather low.
Also, only 6 liters pots. As the box is small, and electricty not free, I just can't imagine growing one or two only in larger pots. Also, lots of problems that were solved progressively (air vents , humidifiers etc).
But may be I am wrong and may be I'd get better results with only 1 plant in there ??? no idea ?
Day 65 (10 days beyond factory "specs" which are 8 weeks max, ie 55 days or so in average).
I am sure we are going to 80 / 90 days with the CFL.
-Bloody Skunk: tried twice, died twice, gonna try again in a couple of months, but right now it's like "F you Bloody Skunk by Sweet Seeds".
- Sweet Skunk by sweet seeds; i made one outside on my balcony this summer, and it was as "tall" as this one, ie, it is probably a dwarf type for outdoor guerilla
- Cream Caramel Auto : looks really nice, too bad i lost the apex when I tried to pinch it to slow down stretching
- Syrup: I think that's the most productive and great for small boxes as they don't take a lot of space.
Yes it's small, but I "tested" too much of it too soon and cut some good branches :-/
The setup: in such a small box, you are obliged to use the space outside for fans and humidifiers etc.
I hope that LEDS will allow better; taller plants thanks to light penetration especially.
Thanks for your attention.

I am impressed by the "fully flowered" and frosted branches I see on others grow, if I wanted to get that result with my own plants, I would have to go 120 days of flowering 
or buy a giant box that would allow oscillating fans (as I saw recommended in youtube videos).... :-/ not an option for me now , i must stay with the small boxes. So any recommendation is very welcome.

what kind of cfl do you have it almost looks like the same superplant bulb I'm using but mines a bit bigger and 300w

Have you tried cultureindoor they have 4w clip fans (blade 15cm) all the way up to the 23w spinny clip ones they all have speed control. Right now I'm flowering an LSD under my light with a little 5w fan i bought from a shop in spain
It is the same as you in 250 W only, CIS Superplant , one for grow, another for flowering. They ran out of 300 W at CultureIndoor when I bought it (and like anyone else, I could not wait one more day :- )
Yes I bought that small 15 cm fan (2 or 3 weeks ago), which is excellent and I should have bought it before. Temperature went from 30 Celsius or more, to 25 or less (very easy to set the right temp now). It is currently plugged behind the humifier, at approx 1 meter (2 or 3 feet) from the box. My kitchen window is always wide open, so the fan brings the fresh air into the box, and I can have 25 degrees celsius very easily now depending on how I open the box door.
Previously, 1 month ago, I bought the Rowenta VU9050F0 (the small one) and it was fantastic because it has a "random" fan speed generator that is the best wind simulator ever. But I blew it after 3 days because it was in front of the humidifier, and the electronic simply blew away (humidity killed it). I could exchange it fortunately at Darty, saying that it never worked, and as they did not have replacement, they refund me ( ;-) )
I'd love to DIY a oscillating fan that would be a vertical tower of 3 or 4 12cm PC fans, with random speeds and vertical/horizontal oscillations, etc , but I do not know anything in this area....

I got me a 300w mixed spectrum bulb I think the cfls wont get the penetration threw the canopy. I'm gonna end up getting a mars hydro reflector series. I got about the same space a 60cm x 60cm.... I might need a new exhaust as well seeing right now I got the winflex 150m3/h to 187m3/h but I'll probably need to upgrade to the 220m3/h seeing as I'm already set on the highest setting and the led should run a bit hotter.

Hey guys, give us a ideas, what would be the problem ?
This is my friend automazar abaout 60 day old. She is grow in soil and under Led. Ph should be 6.5 , evryday feeding.
This is the only picture i got

It looks like a lack of manganese or calcium ?
May be too much water too. Or too much heat (nutrient burn inside the leaves).
Depending on the size of your container, may be you could feed it every 2 days with 250 ML , rather then avery day.
Just an idea, I had a similar problem on the leaves edges of the sweet skunk, but it went away once I bought the fan I was talking about 2 post aboves.
I hope it helps, but may be someone has a better answer.

Need more info type of soil, nutes, and temps.
Look into getting yourself a cal/mag for sure. I would agree tho. It looks like a deficiency of calcium try to find yourself an organic supplement like alg-a-mic, or one of the many others.

I have a TT125 winflex which has 2 speed (230 and 275 I think) and a bull filter. I am on the lower setting, and I found that it was not enough to suck the heat from the CFL+reflector. But it is possible that I did something wrong, or because I don't use the passive intakes like I should, or because my kitchen is too hot (it is better now that it is colder).
Just to say that 220 seems a bit undersized and that you would not pay a lot more for something that can go above 250 if needed.
EDITTED : the winflex exctractor I have is 220 or 280 . 220 is definitely not enough for me. I will put it on 280for the next grow. Problem will be the noise. That's why at the begining , I wanted something like 400 with a speed variator, but the shop sellers told me I was nuts

Yep post his entire info... but with out it and under LED I'm thinking he's not using a cal/mag suppliments with his daily feed???

Crop king n.l. They just seem so linky. There 10 days in from germ and so skinny. Also working on 1 and half inches tall. Maybe I'm just paranoid but it's my first time and I'm mainly concerned with the thickness of the stalk and plant support as well as root mass From seed depth.

They have plenty light. Thinkin maybe I didn't plant the germed seeds deep enough? How deep should I plant the seeds after germinated? Also am I just a nervous parent???
