love it fog another great grow.not a bad weight mate not bad at all and i love the set up .be safe the postman
Yet again I 'pop' in to 'bow' at your threadl. Looks great fog. I really think that floros with hps can be best.......stayed tuned to my log, I'm going for the whole shebang this go around. Really, do you not think growth is best with floro for veg and a healthy mix for flowering? I'm talking floro vs but also conjunction mh in all considerations, I can clarify if that was not crystal....let's discuss the best possible mix and times!

I put all the responses in the quotes this time. Lazy, sorry.

fuckin hell man,i'm impressed,wasn't aware of this log till now
all that from 3 plants under cfl,i might just give it a try in a small veg box i made but never used,few ounces from a redundant space every 3 months sounds good to me
so you got anything else on the go/cards
Sorry to bring up an old post but how did you wire the 4 way lights? did you use a light switch or did you wire them to plug in to the wall?Quote:
The lights are 8 x 23w "fullspectrum" CFLs in two 4-way fixtures.
I have a similar set up that i am getting ready and really like you light set up.
Hey, 5150. I had a pair of those bindings before...I might still have em.
The light kit was just hard wired into a regular wire (blk to blk, wht to wht, etc) then plugged into the light strip that is in the cab (look for it, it's in the pictures) Then those lights and the fans are all on that light strip and the light strip is plugged into a timer.
Don't worry about bringing up this log. It's not THAT old, now. LOL And it gives me something to do by responding. LOL I'm glad at least someone likes it. :) I'm looking forward to seeing yours and how you deal with exhaust, heat, etc...
Be cool, bro. Cool avatar.
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Damn Fog. For some reason your grow inspires me. I guess it's because of all the pics xD. Nice grow :D.
I forgot to respond to this one. Yea, atsar. Unfortunately, the cab could be improved upon greatly. Here are some of the things:Quote:

1 - The plants had no drainage the entire time. :eek: Yea, seriously. They were rockwool cubes (4" x 4") sunken into a tub of hydroton clay pebbles. No drainage. They were hydro, but hand watered on a daily basis. It was controlled for the most part, but eventually, the roots didn't like it...they started to rot. Luckily that happened closer to the end of they cycle anyway, so it was not very detrimental.
This could be improved upon by setting up a small ebb & flow system in this cab, with a resevoir underneath. The problem came when looking for the right sized planter to flood with...and therefore, they ended up staying in their temporary homes the whole way.
2 - Another thing was that the air was ventilated from and to the surrounding room. There was no kind of carbon scrubbing system or ducting to speak of. Only two fans going out and one coming in (which was actually added later). This caused the surrounding room to raise in temperature by several degrees. THAT in turn caused the intake air to the main flowering room to rise and cook those plants. This chain effect WAS extremely detrimental to the plants. ON TOP of that, the room reeked of MJ towards the last month of bloom. Lastly, the cab was meant to be sealed with some type of rubber gasket, but was never done, so the plants were not 100% light and air proof. This didn't seem to cause as much of a problem as far as hermies go, but the air pressure inside the cab was off.
This could have been improved upon by venting the air out of the cab into the attic or out a window (but we all know what challenges arise when you're looking to vent shit). Also, there could have been a scrubber added, but that would have required the purchase of a larger, better fan, which was not in the budget for this experimental grow...but would have been ideal. The cab also should have been fully sealed. Shame...oh the shame. :p
Oh, and atsar...you said every "3 months," but you really wouldn't want to work from seed in this one. You'd want to have a clone that is from somewhere else, mature and ready to flower at 6-8 inches. I guess you could cut some clones from your mother, root them in the cab (with only a couple lights turned on...then veg them for a week or two, while topping them and doing LST on them to bush them out properly, then flower them in the same cab. That could take 3 months, I guess...true. It'd be a cool little thing to have around...
THAT BEING SAID...CFLs suck for flowering marijuana plants.
They do...really. Check this out...for the amount of watts that are being pulled (~200w), and the amount of lumens that were given to the plant, the electricity was not being used efficiently. The same cab would do MUCH BETTER with a 150w or 250w HPS system. Being that the cab would need to be ventilated properly anyway...you might as well vent an HPS and get more bang for your buck.
I understand if you are absolutely unable to get a hold of an HPS or something, then go CFL...it won't hurt and if you have no problem with doing it exactly the way it is done in this log, faults and all, then go for it..but in the long run, you are losing money by flowering with CFLs. See this thread we hijacked for more of what I'm talking about. Oh...and if you do go CFL...ffs, get the right spectrum. Word.
That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure there is something else, I'm just tired of typing so...I'm going to gooooooooo.......

Hey, people. Well, I was wondering something...
So, you know this is a spinoff of the JOAMM (JOURNAL OF A MADMAN) threads, but only cuz it's a CFL grow and in a separate cab. If you have seen the main thread in the INDOOR Section, you know there is another one coming up. So, I am ready to post the JOAMM II, but I'm not sure where to put it.
For continuity sake, I planned to put it also in the Indoor Section, but then I thought again because since then, the Grow Log section has become almost more popular than the Indoor section...
So where do I put it?! And another thing. If I put it in here, I would want JOAMM I to be moved over here, but would that break all the links to it that I've made in other threads? Does anyone know? Maybe I'll ask the mods in the feedback section if I don't get an answer here. I'm anxious to put up the 2nd log, so I hope I figure it out soon.
Also, I was surprised that no one posted any response to that bigass post I did one above this one. :confused: I wonder if anyone read it. hehe ;)
Be cool.
