Hello everybody!This is my first grow,and I have a very small box.(11in. wide+9in. deep+3 1/2 feet tall)I have two swag plants.I have two 30 watt cfls that give 3500 lumens but when I solve my ventalation problem i will put my 150 cfl that will bump it up to 5700 lumens.I will have pics. soon so if you have any imput fell free....THANKS:rolleyes:
 
Alright. Sounds like you need to be creative. With such a small space I am thinking you just want to flower the best looking plant you come up with. Hey, that 3 1/2 feet tall... is that total? Light fixture incuded? If you got a small light you are talking 3 feet... with a pot of any decent size you are talking 2 feet. Man, learn some tricks. You need to learn pruning and training. But with... Damn... ok I am drunk. If in anyway you could get a lil bit bigger it would be great. If not, good luck. Hope you get something. I have to keep in mind that this plant will live through a great bit of abuse. Do what you can.

Hey Florida, do you have any info on the bulbs you are using? I'm interested in the 2700k bulbs. What brand are they, where do you buy them, how much, etc. If you have a link or something that would be awesome. Thanks.

Man this babies are doing great!!!! I have know moved them to a bigger box but i haven't had the chance to get the messurements...I had them under 18/6 for four 4 days and now they have been under 12/12 for 3 days...yesterday I transplaneted them into there own tree gal. pots.They wher root bound really really bad and I lost a lot of roots...But they are looking great.I thought I was going to wake up to a couple of dead plants.They seem to be girls but im not sure.Any advice?Thanks and im working on pics!:2940th_rasta:
 
cant really give any advice out of the norm.... dont overwater, dont burn with lights, etc, but if the plants are already this far perhaps you had these basics covered. some pics would really help with any advice you're looking for....

any signs of nute burning or anything? are you using nutes at all? what kinda soil..? we need some more details!
