Spec's:
Six 42 wtt CFLs ,2700 Lumens apieace

One 105 wtt CFL , 6900 Lumens

Soil, Fox Farm Ocean Forest

Nutrients,SuperTHRIVE ,TigerBloom,International House of Guanos (i.e Peruvian Seabird Guano,Mexican Bat Guano,Jamaican Bat Guano,Indonesian Bat Guano)

Its time to set back relax and put this baby on autopilot,Today is day 2 from sprout.And does anyone eles notice the purple tint on the bigger plant? The first 2 plant pics are of the bigger one , The 3rd one is the smaller plant

[BigBudDaddy08]

BobBong and GardenKnowm ,I would really like you guy's to take notice of this thread due to you guy's have already had amazing results just like me with these wondurful lights and may need some input later on if i run into a few bumps in the road

[BigBudDaddy08]

bump.Thought someone would have replyed

[TwisterFTP]

Looking good. I'm doing my first grow with CFL's and I'm hoping just to get an ounce from one plant. I hope I can kick the yields up to something like you get as I learn and fine tune stuff. I'm pretty sure I've gone through a grow log of yours before and I remember it being impressive.
Good luck.

[UMrocksmysocks]

ill be watching you....

:)

[BigBudDaddy08]

Thanks Guy's. Here's a little update.I will keeep updating every 2 days because iv never seen this strain grown befor from start to finish .And would like all you to see it from start to finish

[iwantFUEGO]

bigbud... can i see a pic of the whole cab please...

thanks

[BigBudDaddy08]

Here you go bro. I wrote in the pic to tell yeah some things ehehe.Sorry gotta click on the pics to read them

[iwantFUEGO]

woooow... thats right up there on the coolness scale alongside mine... [attached]. (or so i think ;) )

or well.... thats what it used to look like... i took it down yesterday.

Thats a kickass setup i LOVE how you put the light bulb receptacle right in the wall... i always wanted to do something like that. Thats a kickass fan too is it an intake or an exhaust?

your not gonna flower in there are you?

God is love.:smokin:

[BigBudDaddy08]

Of course im gonna flower in there, there gonna be 1 1/2 foot LST'd bushes.And why did you take your stuff down?Was really planning to see another grow of yours in the next couple weeks so we can compare again.Also i seen your thread in the Strains And Seeds section. And bro if your planning on getting some good seed's and want an indica strain i wouldnt wast my time on Big Bud or Early misty.I would go with Mangolian Indica ,just got through smoking some of the stuff and wow it feels like im in another world

[qdavid]

Mine's pretty much the same set-up. (Thanks Bobbud, latewood, and some others). I started with the 4-42W cfls but went and got 6-26W cool whites to veg. I'll use the 42W to flower. I only hope I get 1/2 your yield. Congrats. If I do get a decent yield I'll probably lay off for a couple months. I only want some for myself but want good shit. But I had to use an outside strain. It's called Redonda Red Hair. Might take longer but at least it's an indica.

[iwantFUEGO]

yea i wanted o start a new grow but my cab just isnt well ventilated enough and im done working with only CFLs... i wanna get an mh/hps setup.

im trying to figure your cab out though... does the whole thing go up and down? do the pots move too?

btw do you know where i can get a nice indica strain? you should hit me up on aim or msn id like to chat it up with ya =D

Peace bro
God is love.

[BigBudDaddy08]

''iwantFUEGO'' Nope none of my cab moves i just lift the plants up to the right height with a bucket .Yeah this grow im gonna veg with CFL's and im gonna pop in a 150hps and i hope i get a qp from each plant .Yeah i totally understand about the cfl's i just wasnt that happy last grow either .But about the vent. problems im sure i could help yeah but you would have to know how to operate diffrent tools such as jigsaw exct. ,And a nice indica strain would be found at Sagarmatha Seeds the Mangolian Indica is almost like heaven lol the seeds can also befound at seedboutique too .Yeah man if there's anyway you could gimme your e-mail or s/n or somthing with out makeing it known on these boards we could chat it up like you said

[puffyjoe]

nice looking setup you have BigbudD. Can you please tell me where you bought your light sockets at for your CFL's? If anyone has any input where would be the cheapest place to get the sockets please share that info with me, I would greatly appreciate it.. Best of luck to you Bigbud on your grow :thumbsup:

[BigBudDaddy08]

A little update. And PuffyJoe light sockets can be found at any Lowes or Homedepot.

And also my big plant has 5 bladed leaves for its first set of true leaves instead of the 3 bladed ones anyone ever see this happen befor

[qdavid]

I bought a chrome bathroom 4 bulb fixture at Lowe's for about $14.49. I had in mind and almost bought their 3 bulb fixture cause it's only about $9.88.

[soccergal]

Yours seems to be growing a lot faster than mine. Wonder what that means...hmm.

[liquid swords]

I take great interest in your grows BigBud, you're truly an inspiration for every CFL grower out there. But an MH/HPS for flowering sounds like a great idea, too :)

And puffyjoe, CFLs use the same sockets as any 'regular' old lightbulb would use, you can find them at any hardware store for dirt cheap.

[iwantFUEGO]

hey bigbud... just click on the AIM icon in the top right of my post... or msn which ever you want =D

peeaace :smokin:

[BigBudDaddy08]

Another update.Enjoy

[BigBudDaddy08]

Just got me another digicam figured i should test it out.What do you guy's think of the 9 day old youngins and the pic quality.(The first 2 pics is my baby thats being LST'd due to she's starting on her 4th node)And the other 2 pic's are of the smaller ladie thats waiting to be LST'd but she's stayn short and stocky

[BigBudDaddy08]

buuuuuuummmmmppp:o

[BigBudDaddy08]

This is why you should use CFL's for veg .See how thick and compact those nodes are.WOW Man it gets me so excited i want to go look at them but iv done set my house alarm for that room so i will have to wait

More Pic's Will Be Coming Up as Fourplay Fondel's Herself To Grow


First Pic is of the little one. And second pic is of both plants side by side

[BigBudDaddy08]

Well LST has took its toll on both my babies .Just amazing growth in 3 days .Look out ''Knowm'' i might be seting the standerd 5-6 nodes at day 14 ,To 7-8 nodes at day 14.Heheh as of right now the big plant is sporting 6 nodes at day 12 and the smaller one is sporting 5 nodes at day 12

Looks good, I take it this is not your first time at LST?

Good luck, happy growing

[BigBudDaddy08]

Well its another update in the last 3 days things have took a change a HUGE change .There both getting SuperTHRIVE and Mexican Bat Guano every watering

''Newb1stTime'' Actually this is my first time trying LST

[notorious P.O.T]

very nice looking bushes man... yeah lst with a bit of topping is deff the way to go..but looking very nice.. ur getting good light on those lower budsights now and ur gonna see em take off.. best of luck!
~Notorious

[Buddahbear]

I heard that Ocean Spray Potting Soil can be harsh on young plantlings, did you have problems with this?

[BigBudDaddy08]

Nope it wasnt harsh at all although i did have slight nute burn but i think im gonna switch to Fox Farm Light Warrior for my seedling and then when i transplant befor flowering im gonna use Fox Farm Ocean Soil again.

And also lol both my plant turned out male but last time both my plants turned female. im guessing the red spectrum of these CFL's for veg messe's up the female to male ratio ,Iv got to get some blue 6500k bulbs

[invision]

yup red light does promote males too bad really that LST was coming along nicely but for future notice dont use whatever metal thing you were using to tie down use a string and get some screws and put 6 screw into the sides of the pot all around and wrap the string onto those makes it a ton easier other than that it was going well

[BigBudDaddy08]

Thanks ''invision'' they were really bushy beofor i cut them down they would be about 10-12 inch's tall if i just let them grow straight up.And yeah im gonna do the screw idea the pure silver wire was not doin the job good because the plant would pull the wire out of the ground

But its all cool you live and learn ,And man since this is my first LST an it started goin so well im gonna make me a new cab out of an Armoire .And instead of 2 plants im gonna do 3 just to get me atleast 1 female .

Gimme till this weekend and ill have a new cab up and seeds started.Im gonna do 2 Fourplay seeds and 1 either Sagarmatha Seeds ''Peak-19'' or Sagarmatha Seeds ''Blue Thunder'' Wich One would you guy's like to see grown ?

[doco]

Thats too bad they turned out male. The growth rate that you had was amazing...I couldnt believe you were getting 3-leaf sets at like 4 days old!

[c of green]

yeah that sucks,.they were fucking gorgeous.
