Hey guys, this is my first grow ever. Its not a very good set-up but its my first and i am pretty proud so i thought id share it with everyone else.

I have been buying bits n bobs every week or so, have an extractor fan on its way, should be here in a few days. Just growing in regular potting mix, have added some blood n bone and water granules. Just started feeding the 2 larger plants the KC45 with Dutch Master A + B grow nutes and have been feeding the random seed with Maxicrop just to see the difference. will start to feed my autos in probably 2-3 weeks.

Creative criticism it appreciated! Just not to harsh though

2 CFL 130w 6400k. + 15w 6400k for shenanigans

My 2 Autobubble 2 weeks old.

KC45 Full plant (non auto) roughly 2 months

Random bag seed, first month n half was out side. it has been crappy weather lately so i have been putting it under the light towards late afternoon because of weather. Just wondering if this would stress the plant out at all or if it would be helping it. roughly 1 n half months old.






I also have 5 auto white widow seeds on the way. I will probably plant 1 of them just to see how it goes and save the rest for next grow.

The only thing I would recommend is try and turn those lights horizontal and get another reflector.You will get more light coverage this way.Keep us updated,thanks.

Looks pretty good. I also agree with NameVet.

Hey and Welcome!
Love the upside down lamp!! It's a great set-up don't sell yourself short, you can get a nice harvest out of there!.
I agree with Nam and Panic, try to rig it so your lights are horizontal. That will get the most out of them especially if you can rig a reflector.
Autos tend to be pH and nutrient sensitive so keep an eye on that and I'm sure you'll do well.
Peace and happy growing!! Have some :karma Cloud: to get you started and a big ol' for that great lamp!!

Thanks Willie, Panic and Namvet!
I ordered a couple of those sicky wall hooks this morning And i was told by a friend that i can make a reflector out of those disposable oven trays, but someone else told me they cause hot spots on your plants. Should i just stick with a store bought reflector or make my own cheapo one?

Willie ahaha your post made me laugh, i was planning on smashing the lamp open and just taking the cord n socket but i really could not be bothered ahaha.

Also guys my water ph level is around 7.5 normally, but when i add nutes it drops in ph to around 6.5, Is this normal??? I thought it would rise in ph.

Quick update, noticed these little hairs starting to grow on the main stem of my KC45.

Those little white hairs are pistols telling you she is female all good.

They just started to appear not even a day ago, when should i start budding do you think? my friend told me in around 3 weeks.

Am a noob too but going with what my northern light done it was about 3-4 weeks after I saw my pistols. Am having ph problems in my soil just now so that might hav effected her. But am on week 5 and have buds forming all over her, just need to get my ph run off up then should be back on track.
