Hi,
About time I caught up here and posted.
I am currently struggling with heat in my loftie but persevering with two Fire Haze clones from a bag-seed momma and two THC Bomb clones from a pal. They are just over five weeks at the mo and looking good under the 300 CFL, although recently pruned for clones. My 600w Hid lights were just too hot and so a slow plod through the veg stage on the CFL is in order. I aim to flip them to 12/12 end of July but the main prize for me is the follow-on grow. The Haze is sure to finish several weeks later than the Bomb but that's cool with me.
I just have to get them through the worst of the UK Summer heat (don't laugh!), as it's a loftie it isn't that easy. Anyway CFL and some back-up LED clusters should get me to the 1st week Sept, when the temps should have dropped enough to get my Hid air-cooled system up and running again. I have 12 x Haze & 12 x Bomb clones currently in my propagator, from which I will choose the best four from each for the second and main run.
I can then finish these four girls under 600w Hid flowering bulbs as the next 8 are maturing in the vegging room under CFL and as soon as these four finish and I harvest them, I can switch to Metal Halide in the air-cooled system for the main grow of 8 (4 x haze and 4 x Bomb) in the big room, which should harvest around Christmas - woohoo!
I can't wait to see these ladies in flower and I'll post more pics as they mature.
Peace and happy growing people!
