2nd grow

He means the CFL's. Not the MH. The MH needs be be a couple feet away at first.

Over the oast 2 days i have lowered the lights from about 4' all the way to 2'. The reason for the hasty move was that my young plants (4 days) had already stretched alot and they were starting to look a lil wobly. I thought that this quick adjustment would stress the young plants, but i think they are taking it pretty good. I also put my 2 day old plant under the light and im pretty sure it likes it. Umm... what else, I watered the garden, used about 1 tsp/gal for all plants except, the ind/sat baby who got only Ph'd water. :rastasmoke:

Hey does anybody have any idea why my perlite in the cups is turning a yellow tint?

Pic 1 - This is a pic from about 10 pm on day 4.
Pic 2-5 are from about 10 minutes ago.
2 - chron seed front, BB3 back (already 2.75" high)
3 - trying to show the stretch, u can see BB1 (middle) has got a lil swivel in its stem.
4 - Lights are 2' up.
5 - Overhead view of garden, w/ heights.

Until next time, keep on smokin.

I leave my oscillating fan on at night time when the lights are out in the cab. Does anybody know if this is bad for the young plants, like if they r supposed to rest and be still to recharge at night?? Or can i keep on doing this.

i just close my fan in the night, i dont think it really matters if its on or off.. bring the lights down 10cm every day IMO.

hey, clear plastic cups actually seem like a good idea if you wrap them in something thick (duct tape?). Besides, light would only get to the roots on the sides of the cup. You guys agree or am I taking crazy pills?

Ummm i guess that would work, lol. I dont see why u dont just buy dark party cups instead tho, seems like it would be easier than wrapping all my cups in tape. Wasnt that kinda far back in the thread tho??? haha I forgot all about the clear cups argument.

Thanks for the advice whiskey, i may try that or move them closer at least when the little guy gets a bit bigger.

I am pretty sure that I am the Man, today at least. I put together a DIY cooltube, using a hurricane glass. Its not done yet, i still need to get a exaust fan for the rig, and thats about all. Its not really part of my BB gro, but it has to do with it so here u go. Please let me kno what u all think about my project.

pic3 up close and personal.
pic4 idea of where the duct goes to. i was thinking of putting the exaust fan between those 2 pieces of duct. and im only getting a small inline fan maybee 80 cfm, no huge fans that could be mounted on the back of an everglades boat. KRRRIIIIIKKKKYYYY.

Does anyone have advice on where the exaust fan should be installed in the line of cooltubes and exaust duct. ie - after the cooltube, at the wall were the duct evacuates the room??

This DIY cooltube is some really good work:thumbsup:....and your plants look nice too...
when you planning to transplant them into a bigger pot????

Thanks Zeb :D;). Not sure about the transplant, they are ready whenever. I plan on putting them in 1 gallons which i already have, for the veg, and i was thinking 3-5 gallon for flowering, i have to go pot shopping tho to see sizes, but that is down the road. I was thinking of putting them in my 1 gal's anywhere from 1-3 days from now. Any suggestions?
