First CFL Auto Grow Journal 2015

[Baxterwolfe]

After growing outdoor for many years I decided to try out a closet auto grow. I picked one of my 5 beans kinda at random to start and see how the process goes. Started out with a Berry Ryder for the first go around.

I'm using 5 gallon bucket for the pot
Pro mix ultimate for soil
Advanced nutrients grow, micro and bloom from day 10 on with big bud and overdrive for flower
Running all CFLs
Veg 2 32w 6500k and 2 23w 5000k 24h cycle
Flower 2 42w 2700k and 4 32w 2700k 20/4 cycle about 14,000 lumens before loss

Planted the seed 10/23/15 in a make shift greenhouse setup

Morning Baxter , how far away is that new fitting .
Be safe .

 

[Baxterwolfe]

I have it on 2 pieces of all thread so i have about 3 foot of adjustment. I brought it really close last night because of the ponytail to spark the under growth.

Looking good baxter , So what is your verdict on ponytailing .
Be safe .

 

[Baxterwolfe]

So far I think its working nicely to bring the under canopy up and making it really full.

Will grab a seat on this one mate
You doing great I bet you did your reaserch
Used ponytailing aswell and it's great on AutosMakes your plant bushy and keeps tops on almost level
Good luck on your grow

 

[sonicDlf]

Be safe .

Looks great bud.... running that pro mix with advanced nutrients you can't go wrong ..... happy healthy and going to stay that way.... Ponytailing has worked perfectly so far with her man.... keep it up and keep tucking fan leaves til she's tall enough to go to some lst.. with your new indoor setup and cfl keeping that canopy trained level me and a lot

 

[Baxterwolfe]

All tucked and pony tailed with extra light to get the lower canopy to pop
