Whiskys CFL 2

Did I say i wasnt growing.. I guess that was a lie. Summer is out of the way and its getting cold again. So temperatures drop and having a grow in the place you sleep doesnt kill you with the heat. And its also easier to cool off the plants.

So whats the difference this time? Well just one difference. I got rid of that "grow teepee" and Ive cleaned the sh*t out of the room and moved some furniture.. now I can fit in a wardrobe.. if thats what you call them. I saw them for sale its like a cheap alternative to a wardrobe. You stick some tubes together then put a cloth over it and ta-da! a wardrobe. No more teepees made of garbage bags ! phew...

So ill be doing that shopping this weekend and hopefully everything will b set and ready for the plants to flower in. The wardrobe will be used only for flower. I didnt have many 2700Ks last time just 2 ( wtf was I thinking ) the flower hut will have 5 this time at the top and several 6500K lights at the bottom. If I see that it isnt enough ill add more.

I have 7 plants now in veg inside the little hub I made in the last grow, that place is great! The seeds unfortunately are still sucky.. and even more sucky cause I ran out of the other ones and had to get some weed and use the ones that came with it.. Well most are born with defficiencies and one is really mutant, mor then last time but the new growths are looking normal. Ill be posting pics tomorrow.

Theres 7 plants but another 2 pots with seeds which will be coming out soon. Out of the 7 1 looks like it has ozone damage but isnt ozone damage and its hangins on there the new growth is green i hope it manages, just in case I have seeds germing. 3 are ok but are burned a little bit ( they were going crazy deficiency so I nuked them, sry ). One is mutant and is about 2 times bigger then the rest. And the other 2 are small they were planted later then the rest but are catching up there growing the 3rd leaves.

Theres 6 6500K 23W Cfls at the top and its just fine for veg. Im hoping for 2-4 females. I might buy new pots to size it better with the hut but we shall see how it turns out this weekend, then I can tell you for sure. Im also getting a big fan for the hut, Ill place it to the side and cut a hole there for the fan.

Remember I said the previous weed sucked. Well yea it did but I dont understand a part of it. I smoked the whole jar and then the last.. say 10 joints were fabulous. I was amazed I got some friends to smoke it too and they loved it.

Its cheap its sh*ty but this time its going to be better. I will also buy a timer so I dont f*ck up on the schedule as I seldomly did last time.

Well.. thats about it, I hope some old friends visit this post Ive missed you all ;)

I just took some photos.

Sorry about the smudge ;) The flower pics will be in proper pots and with good pics. I wont take veg pics that often since its almost exactly like my 1st grow.

Notice the deformed leaf growth on the big plant, and the nute burn on some others, its under control no worries. Theres also a f*cked up one on the first pic middle row first plant, its has extreme defficiency or some mess up from birth Im just letting it grow along, the new growth on it seems cured.
The foil everyone hates it but its not a big deal, no worries:cool:

Enjoy the log:jointsmile:

Went shopping today. Im exhausted I dont have any motor vehicle so I have to pedal the f*ck out of the bicycle for 2 hours just to go to the place.. Its this other big market that sells this kind of stuff. It was worth it. Stuff was all half price then capitalist a**hole bauhaus.

Bought a pack of 4 2700K Cfls. 36W -> 180 1600 lumens for 16 AMD.
Bought 2 timers. I saw electric ones but they were twice the price of normal ones so I got normal ones... its the same thing. 7 AMD each.

Bought also .. dont know what you call them but.. "circuit divider"? like you plug one and theres 6. Ill have total of 9 circuits.. Ill be running 8 lights ( 6 2700K 2 6500K ) and a big 16cm 50w fan I got from my friend.

Ill be buying the hut thing in the weekend and ill have the flower system set up by monday. Im busy in the weekend. Thats it for today.

wounds in my hands, back pain because of a cramp, very tired... pissed off because prices are higher then last summer.. but I made it. The flower hut is set up and fully operational. Took me 5 hours. I remade all of the light fixures because some were shortcircuiting the whole house due to wires touching inside the electrical tape.
Its all perfect now the only thing missing is.. plants!!!

I have 6 pots in there, 10 fit but Ill be doing 6 only. Ill get probably 2-3 fems this time Ill plant those and clean out the veg pots and re-seed them and get another bunch and get them into the flower hut. So therell be continual harvest which is pretty cool.
I will get much better buds this time Im sure of it.
I could have more lights but I think this is enough.. Ill be adding 1-2 more if I see it necesarry. 4-2.7K 180W CFLs and 4-2.7K 120W CFLs in there at the moment. I let it run for 15 mins and there was almost no heat at pot level. That fan is kicking butt.

I have all the wiring up at the top shelf so waterspills get owned :thumbsup:

My friend knows this guy that came from amsterdam some weeks ago and is growing. He might be able to give me some seeds! But I dont count on it.

Thats about it.. friday 5 plants are going into flower. They are 3 weeks old now 1 month big or not is enough so in you go (gaschamber) :D it would be fun to smoke inside that closet with the zipper closed, lol!

Just stopped in to say good luck! I didn't see your last grow, but this one looks promising. :thumbsup:

You can have all those CFLs in there and it not get hot? What are the temps? That fan must kick ass! What kind is it? Only reason I ask, is that in my cab now w/ 6 cool CFLs, I'm getting up to around 83, which isn't bad.. but when I put in those red specs, temps are gonna rise. I'm going to have to get a stronger exhaust fan and add intake.

Looking forward to seeing your plants flower under some CFLs. What strain are they, or is it bagseed?

I'm actually putting my one and only plant into flower on Monday, it's been vegging for 38 days. (it was the only bagseed to sprout/germ out of 4). It'll be under 6 - 42 watters (2700K). Hopefully it turns out to be a GIRL. :D

Here's to hoping your plants are little girls.. sending good karma your way! :rasta:

Hey Whiskey. Everything is looking good as far as i can see. I with bron wondering what your temps are. What is your total wattage and what is your cubic footage of your flower room? Keep up the good work.

The seeds are bagseed. You can check out my first log and look at pages 5-10 which will give you an idea of what they will look like in the future. But these will be much better then that. 2 seeds which had still to sprout have dissapeared into the mud.. dont you just hate that. Im still waiting for the guy who supposebly has some nice seeds to get in contact with me. I would buy seeds Im not cheap or anything but where I live you cant get seeds. And even if some seedshops ship worldwide, postmen might open the package and if he finds seeds, even if its legal they will say oh its "drug" seeds and try to do something and they would ship it ofcourse to my friend because I dont want them searching my house :)

Thanks for the output guys,

hopefully bron ;) post pics of its progress.

44cm wide 55cm acros 114cm high ( 17.3in 21.7in 44.9in ), the room is actually bigger ( 44cm 108cm 114cm -- 17.3in 42.5in 44.9in) but I leave what I dont use empty. The fan is blowing right onto the bulbs so its not letting any of the heat accumulate, although I wish I had a smaller fan I could put on the floor and make it shoot upwards. For the temps Ill tell you on friday so I can have it run the whole day and see for sure how its going to be. The material of the wardrobe is cloth so maybe it transpires heat from the inside to the outside.
And theres no aluminum or mylar, just big rolls of plasticy white paper which reduces heat build up by a small amount ( painting walls white vs using mylar less reflection but less heat also deffinately worth it ). The fan is a 40 cm ( 16in ) 50W fan.

just a cool pic to show how tightly packed nodes are on a couple of these plants..

cheap lazy people cant clean be bothered to clean the water. Im 90% sure the problems Im having is because the water is dirty. I let it sit out 2-3 days before using it but even with the chlore out of the water its still white/orange-ish. sick bast*rds. Im buying clean ( what did you call that evaporated then collected and bottled? ) purified ph balanced water. I remember my plants last time loved it and to spend an extra 20 bucks per group of plants is irrelevant. Ill buy 10-15 liters, it should go a month or so.

Buy the gallon jugs of distilled water....its like a dollar per gallon and its totally nuetral with no additives...


Its what I like to call THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!
