To be honest my plants are quite small. What yield should I be expecting and i know it will just be a estimate?
Plus. When I post some pics up monday can you see if you think they are ready for flowering.
thereisreally no way to tell about the yield...however, if you wanna maximize it i think you should get some better reflection....if at all possible you may wanna start building of find something you can use as a grow box...that way you can line the entire thing with mylar and get the most out of the fluorescent lights......those lights are emmiting a good amount of lumens but as of right now at least half are getting spit above the plants and out, this is of no use to your plants.....i dont think you can expect a descent yield with fluorescents unless you have extremely effective reflection! Actually the rule is you cant expect descent results from any light without descent reflection...you are also wasting money on your power bill since your using watts that arent used at all by the plant....You NEED to enclose that area and reflect light all over it to expect much of anything.....if you look on these boards the best grows with cfl's are trashcan or small cab grows....ITs because of the reflection!
ok cool I might have 2 grow boxes for space and convenience, I'll have to find something to use though.
CFL's for me at least grew whispy buds even with reflection and I had like 250+ w's of power running in there even
:S doesn't sound good :( I'll have to conisder purchasing a HPS, but we'll see :)
I have 222w of power atm. Is that enough to flower 6 plants?
And the problem with reflection is My dodgy light setup lol. Its very fragile ;). I'll have to invent something new :D!
Hiya All got some more piccys for you peeps :D
The Plants
Right for some of you who don't know where my plants are at:
- Average Joe- 3 Weeks
- Speckle- 6 weeks
- Runt- 7 weeks
- Binladen- 7 weeks
- Herby- 7 weeks
- Green Giant- 7 weeks
What I'm Plotting
Well from all the comments above it seems like its time to build a new grow box or two so here are my plans:
- 1 Veggy grow box for herby and average J. until they are good enough to flower and then I will use it as a veggy grow box for two plants from then on.
- 1 Flowering box for my other 4 plants.
- ALLLLLL lined with mylar, flowering box will contain my 125w Flourescent and more.
- Getting another fan today hopefully.
Questions For You?
Few questions and please answer them all.
- Are Speckly, Runt, Green Giant and Bin Laden ready to flower?
- Pots are 12", any suggestions for suitable grow boxes (No Cabs)?
- Finally, there are some brown spots on herby and minimal on others(NOT Burn spots), any idea what they might be?
Thanks alot, one of my piccys is a spider living in my grow room lol :).
Here are the rest :)
I lost my spidey pic :(
