Iv been looking at a lot of lights on ebay. I think i can get i good deal there for a start up grow:thumbsup::thumbsup:

simple 4 foot T-12 shop lights (6500k) work great for the first 3 weeks...then...you want HID lights...if possible.

Then you can grow with the big dogs...:D

Hey guy can you put up a few pics of your set up. I have a 65w cfl. Its a flood light i bought on ebay awhile back. I just dont like the hood. Im thinking of trying to make a hood somehow to fit over it. Im interested in the HID's:jointsmile:

Thanks for stopping bye Dutch:rasta:

HID (high intensity discharge) lights are the way to go. I recommend a 250 or 400 watt HPS. I have no experience with CFL's. All my grow pics are in my album, click on my public profile...:pimp:...good luck with your indoor grow.

Well im working on wiring this light up that i bought last year. Problem is it seems i cant find the directions. Its a 65w CFL i got on ebay. It will get me started i think. I will be germing a few seeds in the next few days. I got some really good seeds to work with now and im getting really bored. But the biggest is the good seed part, of course the bored part too. Because i think indoors will keep me busy. I am going to germ about 4-5 seeds to get started.

When i got the light it said to ground it, but as im not an electrician and lost the directions does anyone have a clue?

But as of now i took a few pic's of what i have left. The last pic is the plant i hacked up. Its doing well. As in, its getting bigger, so i dont think i shocked it to death. The others are still doing well, but one. Not sure if it needs some N or not. There is a plant close to it and its fine. Meaning, getting as much light. But iv noticed when it gets yellow. Now its never been yellow at the leaf tips. I was meaning the bottom parts of the plant, iv given it fert and it gets greener. But this yellow is different. Like i said its the tips of the leaves that are yellow and this has never happened. Iv been giving them molasses and water only for about a week, so im going to give it a shot of ferts tonight. Other then that im not sure what it could be.

Those all look OK, I would not give more nutes. Most strains are genetically programed to allow more nutrient uptake to the flower in order to help it finish once temps fall and less light hours.

Hey bro good luck on the indoor grow plans, be 100% sure your wiring won't cause a fire. When it comes to electricity it's important to over-do the size of your wires etc. unless you know exactly what your doing. Just looking out bro.:thumbsup:

Well my plant i butchered is growing. I was hoping it would have taken off faster, but i guess its concentrating on the parts i cut off. Iv read were people have cut off buds that were done, to get growth in other areas of their plants. Anyway here are some pics of some of the buds and a pic of the whole plant.

Did something else dumb. I saw a jar on the window ledge, so after my buds were ready, i put them in the jar. Well i should have checked the jar because it wasnt clean and now i have buds that smell like pickles. I cleaned the jar and soaked it in soapy water. Other then that i didnt know what to do. Everything that was up there was clean, i have no idea why that jar wasnt. There was no smell to it when i checked it out, but after i put the lid on for a week, i could smell it:(

Well i thought i had posted this before i went to my Doc., but i guess not. Anyway here are 3 pic's of my light. I took it apart so that i might be able to make a bigger hood for it. Im still thinking on that for now, because i need a bit of help wiring it before anything Else. Its a 65w CFL that i bought on ebay. It said on the box it was 6500k, so this would get me through vegging:thumbsup:

I noticed there are two very small cracks in the bulb. Maybe 1/8'' each. I hope i can still use it, because that all i have for now. I was thinking about four T5 fluorescents for budding 2700k. :thumbsup:

The first 2 are of it taken apart and flipped open to see how i could attach a different hood to it and also, i need to know where to ground it. Im going to use an extension cord from the dollar store or something. But im not sure how to ground it. I really dont want my hair looking like Shakes avatar, lol:wtf::D

So, what about the cracks, think they will be ok, or just try it? And can someone give me a hand as to a ground wire. Where do i ground it too?

Any help would be great, i want to get a grow started cuz i have some killer seeds to play with now:cool:

Thanks again everyone:rasta:

That looks to be some type of circuit protection board, what was the original use for the light? Is there a reset switch or fuse?

No ground, its just hot wire to black and neutral to the white.

It is a flood light advertised also to grow with. No reset or fuse. The directions said how to ground it but i cant find the damn thing anyplace. It said to ground it. My thinking is to run a wire from hot wire-black- to a place where its grounded but where is that? Or do i run a ground to the white-not hot wire- to a place on the light.

Yes, there is only 2 wires on the light, but i need to add a wire to either hot or neutral wire to 3rd prong on extension cord, which would then ground it. If more info is needed let me know or more pics.



Man this is difficult to put into words:wtf:

Thanks man, but yesturday i went out and 2 out of four were on the ground. Both were snapped at the bottem, including the little one. We had bad wind the day before and i think thats what did it. So i harvested everything. I had taken down my big one the day before and although the stem is huge and i dont think it would have snapped but it was a lot of work and im glad i got it done. The weather got really cold and frost is close. Plus the big one was becoming to visable to the guy who mowes the grass next to me. I got 1/4p just from the big one.

I hung it for 3 days, then put it in a paper bag and today jars.

Probably need to cure it in the bags a little longer before putting in the jars.

Down here in humidity central I lay my harvest out on a screen and let it sit for two weeks before putting in bags or jars. Better safe than sorry, mold can pop up real quick if seal up to early.

Great to hear that you got some decent yield.

Hey DOUGALS, thanks for stopping by.:thumbsup: I put all my trimmin's in a paper bag. I went trough it first thing before using any buds for my brownies. There was some on the stems and i found a few bits in the bag. I wondered if i could Cook the leaves and stems, it was easy:eat:

Don't you love harvest time!, try citrus peels if it gets too dried out. My harvest is still going, only now it is strictly flowers shooting out everywhere that I nipped branches from. I'm not sure how to dry them, they're too small to hang b/c they are basically resin/flower balls.

I threw them on a plate with an indirect fan. Then I transfer to jars after a day or 2. I just don't like leaving on a plate b/c they get flat even when turned.

Hey Hemp, It seems like its drying to fast. Even putting straight in a paper bag only took 3 days and its really dry. The first batch dried so fast i put it in a plastic bag and put a couple green buds in it to give some moisture to the other bud in the bag.

After 3 days in a paper bag the second batch is really dry too. Im hoping by putting it in jars today, it will not be so dry after awhile. I hope anyway:thumbsup::rasta:

What I do if it feels like it's drying to fast is to go ahead and put them in jars and keep it sealed for 24 hrs. That should draw the moisture out from the center of the buds. May take a little longer to cure properly, but it will help from the drying to fast.

Well Italiano, thats what i did. But everyday i gotta leave the lids off, because over night it gets pretty moist. I put the lid on over night, then its getting to moist. So, im doing lid on, lid off each day. The stuff was bone dry going in the jar, but after one night it gets to moist. So il do this awhile till i can leave the lids on for longer periods of time till there done:thumbsup::rasta:

Well i guess i should have taken the mold issue more serious, because i was opening each jar for a few hours a day and everything was great, till i though id let it go a day. I could see the beginning of mold after one day. I opened the jars over night and looked at the buds more closely.

Well if you grow in the bathroom, usually there is a outtake fan in the ceiling for when you do-the-do. LOL That would work to an extent I would think to draw the hot air out. An oscillating fan should be good to circulate that air in the bathroom.

Maybe an easier way for you use the CFL in numbers are splitters. You can purchase them almost anywhere. Wal-mart sells them for like $2 each. You can get three for each fixture and run 4 CFL off each one. That's what I did in my previous grows. I have 3 heavy duty power cords that I run 4 CFL on each. Had no problems yet. Purchased the cords at my local hardware store.

Either way, I'm here whenever you start!

Hey Shake i saw how ya got your lights set up:thumbsup:. I was thinking of making a model of what you have, but then i found what im growing in. Im not sure they will fit. A guess would be about 2' x 2' x 4'. I was thinking of putting my 65W - 2700 Lumen light at the top of this shelf, then iv been buying these 23W-1750 Lumen per 2 pack. I have 4 and after i get two more i thought about germing a few seeds. I will get a pic of this thing, but im thinking i can only grow two plants in it. When i saw it, i flipped out, cuz i think this shelf will work out perfect. I was thinking of just hanging the cfl's to the bottom shelf and an equal amount to the top shelf. So, it would be 6-23W CFL's and the 65W at the very top. This thing is small but roomier. I can always add more CFL's.

I had someone pick up some soil, but its the kind that feeds for 9 months i think. Not sure if i should use it or not. I know its not advised, but if im not adding a bunch of nutes i think it would work. Il get the numbers later, but it said that things are coated with a fert to release as time goes. As of now i dont have other soil, a thermostat and Ph testing kit. But other then that iv picked up things as i go. I hope i can get this started, because i feel so bored with nothing to grow.

If you can, go to Lowes or Home Depot (there might be ~$1 difference in price between them). I personally use the Bright Effects (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=88959-371-60058&lpage=none) The ones in that link are on 20W, you should find 23W or higher in the store. The other day I just bought:

4-pack of 23W 6500K DAYLIGHT CFLs (best for vegging) for about $12
6-pack of 18W 2700K SOFT WHITE CFLs (best for flowering) for about $11.

I have separate vegging and flowering rooms, so I use the appropriate bulbs in each. I've lived in Michigan and Pennsylvania and the prices are the same, so I wouldn't imagine Ohio's prices would be any different. If they have multi-packs (i.e. 4 or more) with higher wattages than 23, get them; it's worth it, your plants will show their gratitude.

You'll also need a light fixture (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=122251-43501-FV08-038&lpage=none)), 4 ceiling hooks (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=58409-37672-490934&lpage=none), a couple pieces of chain (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=47603-273-5979630&lpage=none) at least 18 inches long each, 3 Y-adapters (http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad328/greatlights4less/yconnector.jpg), an extension cord (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=70370-57775-2908&lpage=none), and a piece of wood as big as the light fixture (a 2X4 that will fit in your cabinet)

- Drill a hole in the middle of the wood large enough for the wires to go through
- Install the light fixture onto the piece of wood, being sure to pull the wires through the hole.
- Flip it over so the fixture is facing down and wires facing up, and screw 2 ceiling hooks in the back, one on each end
- Screw the other 2 hooks into the top of your grow box/cabinet/whatever
- If you can't find a cord with the white, black, and green wires on one end, cut off the female end of the cord, and connect the wires from the light fixture to the corresponding wires in the cord (white to white, black to black, green to green)
- Connect the chains to the hooks

You now have a light fixture that you can move up and down as your plants grow

Hope this helps! I'll post a few pictures of mine in a separate thread later tonight, if you want to take a look.

The shelf im using might not let me go tha way bease i have a 65W cfl that im putting at the top of this shelf i got that was used at B&N to shelve books. Its got a top shelf that im mounting the 65w on. Under that are 2 selves for a plant on each side, under each other. So its small. But it might help organize the cfl's tho.

Happy Birthday man!!!:yippee:

I made my first CFL fixture back in the day with cardboard and pigtail shoplight fixtures. Just pulled the reflector and clamp off. Could change up the light configuration easily by adding more pigtails or splitters. Pretty cheap lighting setup and had pretty good results with it. Pictures should tell the tale pretty well. Take care bro!

I can give them a visual now:thumbsup: thats if they will fit in what i have been planing on using to grow in. Its small but roomie. I think maybe 2 plants, but thats fine till i get enough lights to keep a few in veg. which would be a set up like you posted.

You will probably want to harvest sooner, next time. The longer you wait to harvest, the more couch-lock the effect (i.e. the more amber trichomes develop). I like to harvest when there are very few amber trichs, cuz I like the cerebral high more than couch-lock. I lose a bit of yield by harvesting that early, but it's the high I want, and always have more growing, so quantity isn't much of an issue.

I was on 2 meds that made my kidneys shut down and almost bleed out, but im cool now, just need to heal up. Seven days in there help me quit the cigs tho. $140.00 A MONTH WILL BUY A BUNCH OF LIGHTS!:thumbsup: and a few other supply's. So, il heal for a week and try and get started. Il have my daughter get a pic of the shelf im thinking might work as a grow box. I will prolly just hang out here all week and read.

It should smooth out the more it cures. Could be from using synthetic fertilizers. Also some strains are just harsh, if its couch lock it might be leaning towards an Afghani type strain.

Do the ends of the joints get gummy with resin?

Yeah Hemp you hit it on the head man. I read that red stems were a sign that the genetics had Afghani in it. I wasnt all sure about that cuz also i know it could be a def. in N i think it was, better re read that chart. But all my plants had red stems. And nothing i did would change it. For sure couch lock. I gotta be careful if im not active, cuz il burn about a half joint at night watching TV and wake 3 hours later. Completely plows you over. Also, while growing you could see the resin in the leaves around the bigger buds. The taste is strong, but when smoked the resin isn't too bad, as far as a build up at the end of the joint. But you sure taste it. Thats something i never liked, a strong resin taste. Might seem odd cuz people like to brag about that resin taste, but i like a smooth taste that will expand your lungs:thumbsup:like a true Skunk that 25 years ago my buddy used to grow. Sure wish i could grow out some of that shit, id smoke it just for the taste:thumbsup::stoned:

Its all been in jars for a long time. It could be the ferts tho, as it was cheep 15-30-15 and someone earlier into growing i was warned that it would taste bad. I do smoke from all the jars too, but its been in jars over a month and a half.

The sak i grew from wasnt good weed at all. It was Mexican, so ya know not a lot of luv went into it. That stuff is mass grown with little care and plenty of seeds. But thats all i had and i really cant complain about potency for sure. I found 2 seeds in it and was thinking about growing it this summer. Two males i killed found away to create 2 seeds. I find this amazing, as to thrive to keep its self from extinction. Man i luv to grow. Its an amazing plant:thumbsup: Im asking everyone why they dont grow. Paying a dealer is just crazy:wtf:

So ya mean he changed his s/n just to try and put me down? This person needs a hobby or something. I thought i had put that crap behind and expressed that im not looking for a pat on the back. Wow why cant people understand that. Geez to know me, i want people to know who i am and that part of my life is an important fact of who i am as well as an advocate for people w/ disabilities and over all caring person for others welfare.

Perfect example is Headshake! He's one of the most helpful compassionate person's on this site. But he didn't tell everyone this, its in what he does on here that tells me he's just a really a great person. And he's not the only one cuz iv met people on here id trust more then people iv known all my life. I hope people come to realize that i to care about peoples welfare. But using a chair is something you cant see across the screen, so i put it out there. I hope someone reads my thread who user's a chair and trys a grow themselves. Thats all i was hoping to achieve by the name of the thread.

Well 2 out of 4 seeds popped up for me today. Thing is i gotta be in bed for a couple of weeks to heal up a bit. I guess i shoulda thought this through. But its all good cuz i can build my grow box in bed:D It actully will be a bit easier, because i wont have to worry about my balance problem. And if i need help i can get some, but if ya know me, its all about myself. lol I have a 23w cfl on them now, but my light will be done Wed. Its a 65w cfl and i think enough lumen's to veg along with 3 23w cfl's for now. I think i can mount the light to the very top of the shelf by cutting off the top shelf maybe, i haven't measured yet. But il be pissed if it doesnt fit. I plan to get more cfl's if they will fit. As soon as i get some work done on the shelf im converting, il post a few pics and move to the indoor growing section.

The seeds were a gift from a great person. I feel very lucky to have them as well as a new friend:thumbsup: They are mixed seeds so, il get a skunk#1, Haze#5, or a cross as they have been crossed. I cant wait to get started because its going to be some good shit man:thumbsup: I am going to put cardboard on the sides of this shelf to enclose it. Im still thinking about how im going to make a door, but im sure il think of something. I have paid close attention to the cardboard grows iv read in here. I have some killz paint. Its white and thought id paint the cardboard before i attached it. Its flat white.

As far as ventilation is concerned im not sure. I have a couple around, but really would like something different. Like a computer fan, or a duct fan. Passive intake at the bottom and a fan on each side would be my optimum, but will see. Kinda cool cuz this new aid i got to help me with things around here has a hubby thats an electrison, so i can have him do hiring for smoke, cuz of course they like the doobage:thumbsup: He's wiring the 65w now.

So, thats my plan. I have a couple things to get, but not real important right now:rasta:

Well my light got all wired up and ready for me to use. Thing is, he plugged it in and the damn bulb blew up! I knew there was a very small crack in it and ask early in the thread if it would be ok, but must have gotten looked over, so i thought what the hell, im going to try it. So, i need a 65w bulb now.

Or, find a bulb that will help me and fit, because its a big ass bulb that will fit it. Iv thought of disassemble the outer case and modify it to give me an option of putting different light spectrum's in. This light was perfect to veg. but need 27k to flower with. So, now i got two seedlings growing strong as hell under 1 23w cfl, which sits on my bed side table. They look really healthy, but are stretching like crazy. It was to be a temp thing, but i gotta have someone do some shopping for me now.

Yeah Hemp, thats the plan. I hope to re pot them tonight and will just bury them deep in each pot. I gotta 50% germ on the Skunk/Haze! Im looking forward to put these baby's outside tho this spring. But these in separate pots buried deep with my light on it will hold me over till i get a new bulb and work on the shelf i want to grow in.

Had a few problem with the roommate and thought i was going to have to move. That would have been bad, cuz its cheap here. But i got it worked out and things are better then before now. Communication is a wonderful thing when the other person participates.

Here is a pic of my shelf. Its just been brought from the basement, so soon il get it enclosed, vented and lite. Then il have a home for my premo seedlings. Its about 3 1/2' tall and 18'' across and deep. This is a guesstimatison:thumbsup::rasta:

Found 6 23w cfl's for $13.27 at wal mart, so i think thats enough bulbs with the 3 i have for the space i plan to grow in. I re potted the seedlings last night to by some time. I have someone looking to get the lights for me tonight. Im getting excited now:thumbsup::rasta:

Ok i finally got lights last night. I got 6 cfl's 26w. I got them for only a bit over a buck, i wasted 9.99 on 2 each. dumb lol So, now im at 14,400 lumen's with 8 26w cfl's, at least i think i did the math correct. Enough to grow in my shelf. The card board is painted and drying now, so tonight i plan to enclose the shelf. I need a hook light and 3 Y splitters. I may have them tonight as i sent cash out with someone that might be able to pick em up, will see. Once i get everthing together il leave a link to indoor growing. I hope ya all will stop in, as it wouldn't be as fun without everyone thats been with me through the outdoor grow:thumbsup:

Here is a couple pic's i took this morning of the seedlings. They look healthy, but there not in a place thats good for them and i cant keep a light 24/0 light schedule where they are at. Just put one in a different pot 2 days ago, but i had someone do it for me and got planted too shallow. But, its all good cuz both will be re potted once the lights are together.

Everyone say a prayer to the fem Goddess for me, although i just added a new space i could use. The bad part is that its in my basement and i cant get down there. A mother plant i hope will be fine there, off a clone is the plan for spring. But plans change, so im concentrating on the task at hand. Any advise is always welcome, ya know that:thumbsup::rasta:

Well i got the clamp light and 1 y socket. So, i can get them under 24/0 3500 lumens. Il get 2 more y splitter's asap. Also, it seems i need a couple of coats of paint on my cardboard, oh well. But im gaining on er:rasta:

Well its funny you ask, because i just started a new thread in the indoor section, but i tried to edit something and took too long and need the mods permission now to finish it. It took forever too. I have a couple pics that shows a lot of growth for them under only 2 26 w clf's at 24/0. When i can finish the edit il put a link to it on here, just to make it easier. Oh yeah, still in bed, but got up yesterday and it felt great. I got till the 17th,but i can get stuff done here, i have some help and maybe a partner too, will see:rasta:
