1st grow, 250W CFL, closet setup, pics & help!

Only thing I see that may be of interest to change on your setup, would be those intakes. I had to make the middle intake an inch bigger on mine. The fan sounded much smoother and it felt like it was moving more air after I added the 3" fitting.

Hey Gravy Legs, I agree, it would be very difficult to add a cover to the lights and make a air cooled hood. The current location of the exhaust would make it difficult!

Try and make the middle intake a 3" as I said before, I think it will help alot!

I had a weird plant like that one in my first grow and it turned out fabulous!

Spots on the leaves might be a little nute burn. Wouldn't worry about the stems leaning......plant's probably leaning toward a light.
Thanks for the info on the lights.

there is no such thing as too many pictures.i think it makes the thread a lot more interesting. Keep them coming!

It's normal for plants to lead some, they likely are bending to meet the light. If you want them nice and straight you can always put a support in there. I do that sometimes when they're small like that. I use a 12" bamboo skewer (sort of like a giant toothpick). I just carefully push it into the soil right next to the plant until it hits the bottom of the pot, which in the case of the pots I use, leaves about 5" above the surface. You don't attempt to tie the plant to the support, just place it so it pushes and holds the plant to the position you want.

You don't have to do that though, the plants will be fine without it, they just might not grow as straight as you like. As for ph issues, well it could be if your water is 7.8 you could have nitrogen locked out which could explain the yellowing. Adjusting the ph down to 6.4 should fix the problem, although the areas already damaged won't get healthy looking again but it shouldn't get any worse.

As for root bound, I seriously doubt it.

Those plants look happy and healthy! That one with all the nodes what strain is that? Did you train it that way? If mine get looking as good as yours I will be grateful.
