im going to set up a grow room in my closet iti s kinda big so i am gonna use mylar or fylon to make a small kinda of room and i was planning on using 2 200w cfl with a blue spectrum and 2 200wcfl with a blue i think i kind of kno the cycles wich are 24 hours at first then 18/16 when first 5 star appears then 12/12 for flowering im using regular soil and going to use medium-large pots (i only want them about 4ft tall) i need help with what type of fertilizers to use and if anyone can show me steps and pics how to make a homemade reflector i was gonna use 3 handi foil roasters u can get them at any local supercenter any help will be greatly appreciated thanks
 
What kind of seeds are you using? If you have autoflowering seeds you don't have to change the light cycle just use 20/4 or 18/6 the entire time. But if they arnt autos then use the cycle you said
 
there either sour d or super citrus (something like that) they are not autoflower, i also need help with fertilizers but i dont wanna spend more money on them than i did my whole setup
 
for non autos the light cycle you said will be fine.. As for Nutes realy depends what you want chemicals or organic? To start off if you dont want to spend alot then get your self some grow and some bloom. Have you grown before or your first time? If its your first time might i suggest growing Autos they are so easy and you can still get a nice fat yeild with most strains :peace: Si
 
first time grow i alredy started them 2 are just popping up one has 4 leaves and hes almsot 2 days old
 
you will not require the fertilizer at the first week, when you get a fertilizer make sure its a flowering fertilizer, just go to any plant shop, there are no specific brand people would recommend but aslong as the fertilizer your using has those:

N-P-K Ratio

if they dont have this then just look in the back were the information of the fertilizer is and make sure those three nuts are there

Nitrogen(N), Phosphorus(P), and Potash(K)

there the main nuts for leaves stems and buds formation, organic means what the plant will take is organic and chemical free, but of its not organic make sure you dont over use it or it will burn your roots

use 25% of the dose of any fertilizer you use for the second week after the seed poped out the soil
3rd week use 50% for 4 days then start using the full dose, the dose the fertilizer label tells you to put

keep in your head that fertilizers will lower you PH level, so if your using tap water which is usually 8.0-8.5 PH level, mixing it with a fertilizer usually lowers it down to 6.0 - 7.0
which is what your aiming already

since you are using CFL's you wont have any problem with heat, yet dont feed your plants from the first week as i mentioned above

since you dont want them to get that tall, after the first week lower your lights to about 2 feet tall above your plant, and after the 3rd week lower it 1 feet above the plant aslong as you have air around the place the plant in to controll the heat, and after the 1st week change the lights to 18/6 then after the 3rd week change the lights to 12/12 to make sure it starts buding early so it wont get that tall yet yield alot

hope this helps

I just started using Magi Gro & Magi Bloom from General Hydroponics. So far I'm pleased with the product. I like it because it's a complete formula that is granulated so there isn't a need to buy 4 or 5 different chemicals. I forget what I paid for both but they were inexpensive. Since you are just starting to grow the most important thing to watch are pH levels. Also, please do a Google search for Ed Rosenthal. He is the grandaddy of weed growing and he enjoys sharing his knowledge. You can get all the information you need about setup and growing from his books. And he can tell you the corrections to make when your crop goes to hell. Hope this helps.
 
While I agree with most of what otwo said, definitely keep your cfls closer then 2 feet. I keep mine 6 inchs away until 1 week old then move them 1-2 inch's away. CFL's dont penetrate much so you want to keep them as close as possible. Welcome to the AFN :smokeit:
 
k thanks im using the lamp pretty close rightn ow bc only 1 seed popped up it has 4 leaves
 
0 two can u message me aboyt the ratio of fertilizer im gonna use 4-4.5-8 thats flowering and for veg 8-4-4 but say it sasy use a tablespoon to 1 gallon what should i use i dont wanna mess up my first grow
