Ok then so i guess im back again for yet another run with my lights and the infamous 'The Church'!

This time iv downscaled the lights to ....your not guna believe this...2. Thats 2 - 18w bulbs with reflectors.

But iv upscaled the plants to 12.

Iv made a cool little MDF cab which iv designed from scratch figuring it out along the way. Well there was a cardboard box prototype which work fine, but theres that medioka word that basically means 'ok but could be much better '. So it was thought out and made up just how i wanted.

Also got a 4w pc fan with carbon scrubber design.

To sum up this cab ' CHEAP, SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE(i hope lol)).

So to sum up the whole run this time, we have:

2 x 18w spiral CFL - (EDIT - 2 worked, but i want more bud, now running 4 )
1 x 4w pc fan with carbon filter
10 x White Widow, Northern Lights, The Church, BubbleGum, Blueberry
1 x grow box at 11"wide x 16"deep x 24"high
Roughly 3x3x3" pots (im trying new ones aswel) with soil and perlite
1 x ordinary guy with 2 indoor grows under his belt and a head full of crazy ideas

The PLAN: 6 plants in, 3 out every 3 weeks(or how long to show sex and get my 3 females). Since their not femmed seed (church is, rest aint) il germ 7 or 8, the best 6 will go into the cab, hopefully left with 3 healthy females to bring up to budding. Going for 7g per plant, which will mean 1/4 oz per week, just enough for me with a bit spare.

Right then you lot gotta catch up with me hear coz iv had this system going for just under 5 weeks now so the first batch was 3 femmed churches from last run, 2 cracked one survived. Wait this will be easier explaining like this ...

Right now this is where we are:

1 x church - 5 weeks this sat 13th (female)
3 x white widow - 2 weeks tomorrow
3 x northern lights - 1 week tomorrow
3 x blueberry - planted tonight for their first day of 12/12 tomorrow

Iv speeded things up a bit as il only get 1 church finish instead of 3.

Shit, i should also mension im giving them 13light/11dark all the way through, not the traditional 12/12 everyone seems to copy. The extra hours add up in my opinion, and with this method they need it!

So there ya go, il try get some pics up of the setup soon.

Hope you can join me for the long ride through this, i think its guna be fuckin ace and will be good to test some 12/12 strains out.

Wish me luck!

Woah!! 7g with 2 - 18w bulbs! I can't believe it's possible, but I wish you the best luck
I'm growing 10-15 plants with ~300w cfl and hope to get something between 1-10g each.
Now I'm of to check your past grows.

Nice looking setup mate. Gotta show this to my broke ass brotha, maybe then he realizes that he ain't too poor to start growing I don't have diary or pics here yet, but I'm gonna upload some pics to my gallery soon.

Btw your first church grow was dope!!

Must been stoned last night, cause I didn't remember that I have this one plant that went little hermie just after few days of flowering. I took of the 2 balls it had grown. After that I isolated it from my females just in case. Now I have been flowering it with only 2x11w cfls, and it looks great! Gonna upload pics of it in my gallery tomorrow.

Nice one, skunky. That's the spirit

The Church looks like it has Maple Leafs ! Those things are huge....Nice

[skunkyuk]

Thanks guys keep watching and see how these strains turn out.

Things coming on ok, the church is 5 weeks from seed today so got more pics. It looks like its a bit N deficient but im feeding bio bloom and grow. Its still shooting out pistils and growing into the light though! Could be too much ferts! These small containers and small plants are hard to judge.

Any fellow 12/12 growers out there? How many ml of bio grow and bloom per litre would you feed the big un? Today its 5 weeks from spouting, id say 1ml grow/1ml bloom today, this would last 7 days. Too much???

White widows are 2 and half weeks from seed and stink already never tried homegrown white widow s o looking forward to these. Might cross a male ww with the church to make 'white chapel' - and fast growing heavy yielder with knock out amount of thc

Heres the pics as of today.

This a day 37 afgooey that i have flowering under 2 27w cool white cfls and 1 23w warm cfl. But I use 1 tbls of molasses, 2 tsp of bloom, 1 tsp of catalist, 1 tsp micronutes, and 1/2 tsp of meta k. All to one gallon with lime to bring down the ph. I dont know how that works out for you or if it helps but, i hope it does.
