The lady that is budding the hardest !

Just start putting out trichs 2 days ago !

up top

This lady telling me it's time to raise the light ? Am i bleaching the tops ?

Also, if anyone could chime in on the looks of her ? She looks like she will have a longer flower then the rest, more sativa dom but it's only my 2nd grow. I could be totally wrong

No yellow, no spots, no burnt tips !

Nice tops you have there!
Good job CFL_Grow

 

[Incognegro]

OOOhhh! Nice! esp for cfls!

 

[CFL_Grow]

Nice tops you have there!
Good job CFL_Grow

Incognegro, thanks, but there is a HPS up there too

 

[CFL_Grow]

Not much stretching now, raised the light though, i was discoloring some tops from being too close at 2inches from the glass.

This girl did not branch much but should still produce ok

This lady is going to get fat i can already see it.

My little girl

The bush that i started to yellow the tops from the HPS

Day 27 12/12

Everything goes smooth in the closet.

Low humidity, temps holding between 78-84F light on.

 

[CFL_Grow]

Dang that took a few hours !

I re-arranged the closet today to make improvements i think. Gave myself a little more room so i can go ahead and pop some beans to grow 12/12 !

Overall this arrangement is much better and should work till i get a tent or a house with a basement.

Day 28:

Now it's almost totally enclosed, not loosing nearly as much light.

Temps are at 78F

cruising along I see, congrats

 

[CFL_Grow]

Thanks. Yup they are swelling everyday.

Think i will germ some seeds this weekend and put this extra room to use. Maybe i'll make this go perpetual.

 

[George Green]

nice ladies you have , enjoy ! !

 

[HighDesertJoe]

I'm a first timer, only looking and learning now but I really enjoyed reading your post...

 

[CFL_Grow]

Thank you fellas. I will most definately enjoy them once harvested I *think* im looking at chopping them around new years or a few weeks after.

CFL - can you give us a rundown of exactly what you've got in there as far as lights? I know you have an HPS and you obviously have some CFLs as well as some straight tube flouros.. can you give us a watt by watt breakdown of what all is going on in there?

I ask because I'm currently designing a mixed HID/Flouro cab:

4ft(W) x 1.5ft(D) x 6ft (H) w/400w CMH + 4x55w PLLs.​

Thanks!

 

[CFL_Grow]

Wattage:
400 HPS
4x32W T8's
2x65w CFL
2x42w CFL
1x26w CFL
2x20w CFL
THen i have the 2 smaller flouro tubes that i believe are around 15w each

Bout 800watts total. Honestly it's pretty sloppy but it's the only space i have available for now, so i have to use it.

Anti, i would like to add that my dream is to build a box something similar. I want a 4x5x7 Box with a HID in the middle and 4ft T5's running the corners

 

[Anti]

Thanks bro!

 

[CFL_Grow]

I think this girl is going to make 8 big colas

 

[CFL_Grow]

I have not noticed this until just now, maybe it has just started.

You guys tell me. Is that one bud to the right not much much greener then the other 3 !

The other 3 sit directly under the HPS, the green bud not so much. Also noteworthy is that the green bud has 2 CFL's an inch away from it. Interesting.

 

[Anti]

definitely looks greener to me.

Have you done any research into CMH? The spectrum on a 400w CMH is much closer to CFL spectrum. And unless you have a digital ballast, you can just swap out a 400w CMH bulb for your 400w HPS.

Just a thought.

 

[CFL_Grow]

I have thought about it but i do not *think* my ballast will work, but i am not sure. My ballast is switchable between 120v/240v and also MH/HPS.

Sun System 10 Crop Master 400 SW is my ballast
