Hey blynx..amazing what you can do..
I think you would be the right person to help me if you will.
I have a pc case and there is 127 watts in it .I have 5 23-26 watt lights and really want to know 2 things.
Is there too much wattage in there and secondly, I have an easy-ryder planted now and would like to know light schedules.ie. should it be 24/7, 18/6 etc.

Can you(or anyone) help?
The arrangenent of lights are 2- 26 watt 6500k and 3 23 watt 2500k if that helps. I see you only use the soft whites so I'll go that route too.
Thanks

Unless you are talking about a large server case, that seems like a lot of lights for such a small space. I'd be worried about the heat those things are going to produce.

I used an 18/6 light schedule myself. I do think you'll get more increasing the lights from 12/12, but I also think that a little bit of a dark period also helps the plants. So, really that's up to the individual grower.

Nice grow blynx! About how many seeds do you think you end up with, or hope to end up with?

I expect I'll end up with around 200-300 seeds of Lady G1 x Masterlow (but that also includes a larger plant I have flowering under a 600w hps).

I don't think I'll end up with many of the White x Masterlow seeds. But when I put this plant into the 1sq ft cab, I kept the top I chopped off. I rooted it and am getting ready to flower it. I plan on hitting that cut up with more of the White x Masterlow pollen to increase the number of seeds I get.

ive sang your praises and i respcect your system but dam u could be doing much better with pure coco, your plants look like there suffacating in that medium, you would be amazed with cocos growth rate comparison, i know its harder to buy one medium thats half the cost of dirt, and i realize that watering every day or two is backbreaking compared to once a week but when i look at your plants n they do turn out pretty nice i see a plant that has a slow metabolism compared to what it could have, your plants never look perky and happy like my coco plants, and if your plants only get thirsty once a week then its obvious why, your medium has no air. u should try just adding 40 percent coco and see if u ever go back to straight soil, poke holes in the sides n bottom of your containers and watch your growth skyrocket, true u would have to put a tray beneath your pots and that will ruin your day i realize but youll be rewarded for that 3 seconds of work believe me-

I get it, you love coco.

I will NEVER run it, so please stop trying to convert me.

It i$ more than watering every couple day$. You have to pay for nute$ for coco. I do not and will not lay out money for bottled nute$ $o that I can $pend time mea$uring out and feeding them every couple day$.

You also seem to miss the point that I could really care less how much these small cfl cabs yield. I DO IT FOR FUN!!!!! I have a 600hps that I run for yield and the plants under that are more than perky, happy, and yield plenty of high quality smoke.

I like variety (and ease of growing) much more than I care about trying to maximize yield.

''I will NEVER run it'' = blynxx


i respect that meaning u never do a solo run, but to never mix with organic coco seems to me like your missing something, maybe your mix has alot of plain peat i dont know but coco is organic, dont understand your distaste with it, plenty of people do organic soil coco blends and dont feed there plants daily or even weekly.

I have thrown coco into my soil before (small amounts). I just won't run plain coco, nor even a high ratio of coco in my soil.

Looking great blynx!

Out of all the ladies, which one do you think has put on the most weight and frosting?

I think this round the alibi x herijuana will be the big producers. The buds are big, dense and still swelling up.
