Thanks dan. Ill try to add what i know but this is my first grow ever. Well except one time when i was like 15 and i threw a seed in a cup of dirt and got scared my dad would see it when it started growing so i took it and planted it in the woods and it died. The knowledge i do have all came from reading posts on here and a few other forums. so thats why i decided to join to maybe learn more by showing pics of my grow and asking questions myself lol

Heres my ghetto light setup but it seems to be working. Lol
I made them so they can be snapped together like in the first pic or move independently up down left and right separately like in the other pic. You can see in the pics in previous post i also have the 4 t5 floros hanging against the wall to get light to the sides of the plant as well.

Tell me what you guys think lol..i know its ghetto but i didnt have a very big budget to start with. I had the 2 fluorecent light fixtures and the cfl light fixtures laying in my basement and used what i had laying around as well to mount them. Only money i have in it is for the seeds,the happy frog potting soil, a bag of perlite,some veg and flower nutes and the 6500k cfl bulbs bc for some reason i already had a bunch of the 2700k ones in a box yupp in the basement lol.

I don’t see any fans to aid the movement of air, in the pictured environment I’d worry about white powdery mold getting started, just a suggestion.

This led bulb here. Pop the plastic frosted bubble off the front. It’ll change your whole world on how much light is being held back you’ll want to replace em all. But too close they will burn leaves without the bubble. But crazy amount of light for a little lightbulb

I definitely WOULD NOT buy it. You can get the marijuana grow bible for free and it has everything you need to know in it. Literally everything. If you read the whole thing you would be halfway to being a pro at it. The other 50% needed to be a pro is the actual experience in growing it and that takes time and effort on your part. Soon youll be able to tell what your plants need by simply looking at the leaves and stems. If you need a copy of the grow bible lmk i can email you a copy..

Thanks for the reply. The fans are mounted on the cieling behind me and i also have 2 big air purifiers/fans on the floor one will filter the air in a 20x20 room like 20 times an hour or something..maybe more that and they filter 99.9% of like mold spores and tiny crap like that lol..and i have 2 of them going so circulation is pretty good that and i turned them off for the pics so they werent moving. Also have a dehumidifier keeping it at 45-50% rh

Here it is the " Ghetto Grow Light Setup 2.0 " lol
This upgrade cost me roughly
$30.00 so about a total of 50 bucks or so for all of it. Cant beat it for 41600 @598 watts thats my opinion though lol. Especially if you can only buy a little at a time.10 bucks here 10 bucks there lolboom new set up lol
Specs:
41,600 lumens
598 total watts
At 6500 kelvins
