Sorry if my reflectivity numbers didn't jive with Wikipedia...I got my numbers from the Grow Bible (Greg Green). Anyway, my point was that you could improve your grow space by losing the foil and painting the walls white. It's more reflective (whatever the exact numbers) and no risk of heat spots.Quote:

If you can tell the walls are painted flat white now. I needed more light before putting the plants in more space. Just picked up more lights last night, so everything could be taken out of the cab and start to flower. There are only two which id flower now and would divide up the room. I could even use the cab to veg out the other 3. Just so ya know im planning on putting the card board on the cab, because it will make the cab more sturdy, but when its convenient. No burns as of yet on the leaves:thumbsup::rasta:Quote:

I got a bit of burn on 1 plants leaves, so we are moving them around each day and seems to be helping. I am trying to figure this timer out. Iv only looked at it once and im making more of it then i should, so next couple of days flower we go:rasta:
I'm confused about why you are going into flower so soon? Unless you had a SOG with clones and stuff, it's kind of a waste to put a 2-week-old plant into flower. It won't get very big at all, and there's a good chance it'll hermie, being that young.Quote:

Well i gave away too much of my outdoor grow and am just about out:wtf:. It will be close to the end of the month or a few days into Dec. I want to get a new crop going. One in which, i germ them at the same time. What i did was really messed up. Almost every plant was started at a different time, which i realize was just wrong. So, basically its a do-over:thumbsup:. This will also get me ready with clones for my outdoor grow this summer:thumbsup:.Quote:

I want to get it right this time, plus give me enough smoke to last me till then:rasta:
Just a pointer, flat white spraypaint or anly flat white paint for that matter only has a reflectance coefficient of .83 so about 83% reflectance.

Will this help my plants veg faster, or better?:rasta:
A short duration of darkness is good as it gives the plant time to rest. I have used 24/0, 18/6 & 20/4 and cannot tell any difference. But I never went more than a few weeks at 24/0.Quote:

Nice little set up. I'm waiting for mine to bud.. Goodluck
I have 2 plants i started a bit earlier then the other 3, which is something i should have thought about before. But they all look healthy especially the ones in pots. They are both at about 5-6 nodes, yet only about 5'' tall. Once i get another light im going to divide the room up. I will get the card board on the sides of the shelf in place of the tin foil. Then il veg in the shelf and flower in the back part of my space. I thought i could just use a tension rod and a thick white shower curtain to separate the room off, plus something at the entrance for smell later in the grow. Also, 4 need re potted before i could think about flower. I have pic's on my phone but not sure i can get them on here or not.Quote:

Here are a couple pics taken last night. The nodes are so close there hard to count. There are 2 that need to be re potted as you can see. I have a bit of burn, but after some adjustments they are looking pretty good at least i think for my first indoor grow. Its odd to see the leaves grow under 24/0 light. The leaves look different, but maybe i have a problem and dont know it:wtf:
The 2 in pots will be in veg now for 18 days. As you can see i need to re pot the one in the cup and the one in the smaller pot:thumbsup:
Thanks for any input:rasta:
Awesome, LSY! They look great! Looks like you have a couple different strains there. Hoping for some lady parts!
Thanks man:thumbsup:. But the one in the smaller pot was all burned up and wilted last night. I adjusted the light last night to get a bit of vertical growth on them. Also, the smaller pot will be re potted as it might be root bound, asap:rasta:Quote:

Ok i finally figured out how to do the cell thing. You can see it has wilted over night. :rasta:
Yeppers, needed some H2O and fixed the problem. Temps are at about 80degrees inside. The fan thats down there sucks, so i have a better one when i need it. I put the one in the pop container in a bigger pot. Here are a few pics after damage control. The plan is to catch up to myself and then start flower. Then i will start a new crop that will give me clones for summer. Looks way better then the above pic. And this was over night. Thank God its a weed:hippy:
If anyone has comments, let em fly:rasta:
keep pluggin' my friend, it's all valuble experience!

Thanks for stopping by Shake:thumbsup: Its is an experience thats for sure. Outside i only needed to water, feed and keep the critters away. Well for the most part, but inside ya got to almost be God:D. I admire the indoor growers even more after this experience:thumbsup:Quote:

Not sure as to try and take clones with these for summer or start another grow to use this summer. I will probably let the plants answer that for me. Its interesting that a person can keep clones alive for a few months in the fridge, i read about. His grows look great too, so its good info:thumbsup:
Could be 4 different strains though so im really hoping for some females. It could be Skunk#1, Haze#5 or the cross someone made from the two. They were mixed when i got them, im hoping someone might know something when they get bigger. Also, in the cups are called Edna, so looking forward to outside grow again for sure:rasta:
It's a bit of a steep learning curve when you first go indoors, but looking good LSY, looking good. :thumbsup:
sara.
IM NOT SURE IF THAT GROW WILL BE SUCCESSFUL??? IM VERY CURIOUS ON HOW IT DOES THO!
Your right but we all had to start with a 1st grow. I think learning is just part of the process everyone goes through. But, every thing is green so far and im getting a couple of inches a day or so of growth.Quote:

So, just wondered how you can say my grow will not be successful? If i got one joint out of my grow, that could be successful to me. You come in and determine this after about 25 days of growth. Also, its my first indoor grow, which is were i am gaining experience. That alone is success:thumbsup:Quote:

But just dont post this and not come back, cuz theres nothing better then when someone say's ''you cant'', so thanks for that and stick around:rasta:
don't worry about criticism LSY. i was told the same thing when i started and i think i am doing pretty good now!

Yeah your right, its a motivator. Your growing looks better then just pretty good! But iv learned to expect it now:thumbsup: Thanks for stopping by, i feel like im doing something right or id be advised:rasta:Quote:

Harvested an EdnaXBR1947 a few weeks ago, its the strongest one to date out of 5 tested. Got two TaHaR and the are not doing crap.
Got 4 females of C99 X Strawberry Cough going but just turned them 12/12 about 9 days back so they are young. Maybe end of January I can harvest.
Hey Hemp, glad you stopped by. Its great your grows seem to be going well:thumbsup:. I really am not sure when or how to start to veg? My reading says 5k for veg and 2700 to flower. But iv read threads where a person just grows them under as much light as possible and turns out a great grow. There is really no info out there as to grow cfl veg/flower info. As no change in spectrum or time period. Everyone seems to be only experimenting with the cfl grows? Nothing set to a guide line yet.Quote:

My Edna's are going to get a new home tonight and im changing my space. I will be hanging lights from my ceiling and going to take advantage of my space. Im sure il get a pic of the set up tonight. Also, i was able to get more light and supplies today. I am going to try cloning, which iv tried once and it took root.
Stop back my friend:hippy:
:rasta:
Thanks man:thumbsup:. I gotta a ways to go but they look healthy and im getting about 2'' growth everyday:thumbsup:Quote:

BTW you have a very killer grow going on my man. Looks like fun working with so many starins!
I got my Edna's in bigger pots now and im out of the shelf, but may use it to veg in, as it worked great for me. I have one more strain to germ yet and i might just drop em in a cup of water tonight to get them in soil in the morning. Its my germ method. Works for me very well. I put all my seeds in a giant pot in the summer and let it sit in the sun and 15 out of 20 popped, seven were harvested. Just carfully dig under them and put them in cups till they were ready for the wild. But, maybe clones this year!:thumbsup:
Keep er green man:rasta:
Its a fun hobby and great way to get some natural medicine with out supporting Mexican cartels. Looks like you are really getting into it LSY which is great for the soul, spirit & mind.
Indoors for the most part you have environmental control and as a general rule good sucess. Biggest fowl ups I make and made as a newb is over watering and over fertilizing.

The C99XSC should be pretty special the parentage is world class. The SC is a cut only strain from many years back.
nice. is your SC anything special (i don't mean that to sound as rude as it does)? i know that dutch passion now has SC beans. just curious.Quote:

I'm on my first grow myself, LSY, and it has been, and I'm sure will continue to be, a learning process. The one thing I have noticed, although I NEVER would have believed it before this, is that I can almost feel what they need. Especially now that they are starting to flower, its almost like they are girls (duh!).
I sat in my flowering room tonight for a couple hours, closely examining every bit of each plant. I felt very connected. Very satisfying. Almost like parenting, which I've always thought was the best and hardest thing I've ever done. I still think so, but this is very enlightening. Good luck, and happy gardening.
very cool HS! i hear ya. can't wait to see how gnarly they get!Quote:

But im going to have the person im working with change around the position of the plants and use the white wall behind the cardboard to compact my grow space. Also, i have 5 26w bulbs and 1 30w to get my lumens to
10,850. The grow area is about, or will be about 2' square :rasta:
Yeah i pretty much did the same thing while doing my outdoor grow this past summer. One of the feelings that will always stick with me. Its better alone and :stoned:. Im a nature freak so anything outsides cool with me:thumbsup:Quote:

Also, i never would stop asking questions, or reading grow logs. I thought i was amazed with growing bonsai, but this is faster growing and development. With a great reward:thumbsup:
