Newb Getting ready (Lighting Questions Ahead)

[LaidZeppelin]

my problem with those lights is you cant move them around your plant, when flowering wouldnt it be best to encircle your plant with red spectrum cfl rather than the light just comming from the top, wouldnt leaves bloke your lower bud sites thus creating less yield? idk thats just what i would think, thats why i ent with my movable cfl which are a cheaper optin anyway.

You have a good point however, most growers tend to use LSTing which can help, but the best way to get around this is by just tucking the leaves about so that the buds are visible more

The best option would be to get one of these and maybe some budget CFLs to help along the process, anyone agree?

i actually just added two more 42 watters to my grow....giving me 4x42= 168watts and 4x27=108watts for a total of 276watts and. This set up cost me under 100$ and i have 16,800 lumens which i believe is only 200 less than a 150w hps. just checked its actually 800 more than most 150w hps.

Great News guys,

So yesterday i headed up to the hill (local college type apartment community literally like 80% of all people who live there are in college) to check out my new apartment for may 1st.

So i called him up and he said hey i think you know my roommate, dan.

And i go holy shit, not only have a bought weed from this kid on a couple of occasions, i know he also grows some hydro on a very low key and got hooked up from a friend with seedlings. :thumbsup:

So i go check it out, and since i can grow freely i am definately down. So basically i have a limitless advice on growing and taking care a mere 3 ft away from my room. SWEET!!!!! :stoned:

So as i get ready for germination on sat (paper towel method) i couldnt feel better cause dan also told me i could have seedlings if i wanted. DOPE!!


I am still gonna try on my own (cause dan wont always be around) but i thought i would share the wonderfull news/vibes. Also i am planning to start a grow thread as early as friday so Stone and Laid, Please join me in that.

I am so freakin happy right now you dont even know,

Hawk.

thats pretty rad and if that kids been growing you know your closet idea can work without detection if he has been doing it for a while...i wanted to start a grow thread of my own but dont have a cam and it just aint the same when you cant see the beautiful plant getting closer to harvest...my girl (hopefully) just got topped last night and hasnt shown any real signs of slowed growth which is great. I think the 84 watt boost i just put in is halping it along too...sweet news dude keep us posted.
