Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and I've been setting up my first grow with a few plants I started outdoors. I've also got a few other veggies under the lights, but you'll know the difference My grow room is set up in a shed in my back yard. Currently I'm using a quad band 90w UFO, a 45 watt glowpanel and 4 23 watt 6500k CFL's, with another UFO coming in this week I was going to add 2 more supplemental CFL's. I've attempted some LST, and it seems to be working so far.. Growth has really accelerated since the addition of the UFO. I live in Hawaii and the shed has screen windows at the top, so ventilation and temp. aren't an issue. Also waiting on an order of mylar... I'm a long time pot smoker and just looking to get my own crops going..and I'm having a blast with it so far! Any advice is absolutely welcome!

Nice setup you have there champ , I also have a ufo 90 watt and was pretty impressed with how my plants came along , I Have 3 plants going as the last batch I ended up with 2 males , but it's a lottery and good fun. Hope all goes well king kahuna!

haha, thanks man! Got my fingers crossed.. I've heard mixed opinions on the UFO's but I think they'll work just fine for me, have you tried flowering with yours yet?

Hey again , yeah well when the plant sexed and they were males , but yeah id say your right about being fine , my thing is led was pretty much the way to go , cheap and hardly any heat issue , Ive heard so many people knock UFO's. All I say each to their own .

Did you add the cfl's just for a bit more punch during flowering as ive seen on your pitcure?

Should check out the LED section , some awesome grows.

Good luck mate

Aloha! It was cheap so I decided to throw in 3 of those "Y" adapter lights for the heck of it, I've got 6 bulbs at the 6500k spectrum and 6 at the 2700k.. so when I do get ready to flower I'll switch to the more "red" spectrum. You think its overkill? or the more the better?? I've really noticed faster growth since the addition of all this new lighting, they do seem to favor the UFO though... I've seen some pretty amazing grows on this site... these guys really know whats up!

peace,

Here are some pics of a baby I started about 7 days ago.. Not stretching like the original 3 which I think is a good sign.. its been grown solely under this setup.. I think this'll end up being better pot based on the bag it came out of.. the original 3 are probably "C" grade, but we'll see. With just one day it seems the bigger plants are growing pretty rapidly.. the other UFO should be here Thursday! There's also a pic of an apple seed I planted.. I bit into an apple about 2 months ago and there was a seed already sprouted, so I planted it.

You should have watched my grow and some others and got one of HydroGrow's leds. No need for cfls then. and good buds. Anyway, you should do good, can't wait to see how it goes.
