well, still no camera but they are huge. The biggest plant is 8 inches tall and the smaller ones being 4-6 inches tall. The top 44 is growing ridiculously fast and im hoping the afghan plants can catch up a little bit because I want to start flowering in a week or so. Any advice on lighting for this? I really don't want to use t12's for flowering!
thanks.
Day 46 Total | Day 2 Flowering
Everything is looking good besides getting no light from my T12's to the bottom of the leaves. any suggestions?
i just need them to be fine until the weekend because I am going to buy the wires to setup my 6 CFL's.
Let me know what you guys think.
The first picture is my biggest one. It's my baby =D. The other four in picture 2 are doing decent. I'm ab out to get rid of the two on the right to a friend because they aren't caught up to the top 44. The last two pictures are just more pictures of the first plant.
Thanks!
Oh yeah, I finally got a new camera ;)
Getting some weird red stuff on some of the leaves from the stem leading into the leaf. Looks like blood =S I have attached a picture and some updated pictures. I only have two left and I can confirm that the first plant is a female.
=D thanks guy.
I wouldn't doubt if the people that broke into your house found your plants and will be back for harvest... but, that's JMO. Hopefully that's not the case and you've remedied your security problem...
Keep up the good work...
did i read you were looking for suggestion on CFLs for flowering? lemme know if you want ideas.
Yes. I just bought a 5 pack of the cool spectrum CFL's from target. They're GE 26 watts. I will use 5 for the two that I have left for some mASSIVE BUD MASS (hopefully).
Just need to find something on how to wire them? lol. :hippy:
Pinky - I just have good camo and when it's flowering, I won't be leaving =P
ok well i'd turn around and go buy some warmer bulbs. i'm guessing those ones you have now are between 5000 and 6500. get some 2700. as far as setup goes, use a vanity fixture wired to a grounded power cord. heres a pic of mine.
Hey again, on a new name thanks to the admins not giving me a hand. Sorry to hear you're place got robbed. Do you mind telling how they got in? I'm ready to booby trap the living hell out of my house incase of a break in. Any ideas? I'm thinking of some sort of way to dispense sulfuric acid, most likely out of a motion detecting deodorizer. :) watcha think?
Edit: goldengraham is right, I didn't notice what you planned on doing with those cool whites until GG said something. I've used 42w 2700k warm whites from wallmart @ $8ea.
Coolwhite=veg
warmwhite=flower
Golden - The box doesn't even say the light spectrum, ugh. kills me! I like the setup. Now one quick questions for ya, when I got the CFL's up how far away from the plants should they be? Like I know they won't be within 2-3 inches liek Fluoros but I kinda need to know =P
Turbo - Roomate left the garage unlocked and they opened the garage and kicked the door in. I just got a gun to protect myself ;) Sulfuric acid? Eh, weird. =P jk. And thanks both of you for the tips on the lights.
Cheers,
Jay
the base of the bulb may list the spectrum. depending on your plants genetics, i'd say 4-6 inches away. do the old hand test. take the back of your hand and hold it at the distance from the lights you want to have your plants at. if, after 30 seconds, your hand is still comfortable (warm, not hot), your plants will do fine at that distance. good luck to ya.
