1st Grow. Closet - Cali Orange - CFL's
Woo. Okay i transplanted the other guy (She's a tad wilty, hope she perks up). I also noticed my corner store was selling two CFL's for 8.99 so i grabbed them. Two 14 watt 4400k's. I figure that with the 3000k and the 6000k gives me a larger light spectrum. Next light i buy will be 6000-6500k though. (Gotta pay my boy back this week, he spotted me my weekend buds)
Unfortunetly i noticed some light burn. Its all on one plant and very mild (a few of the ribbing tips on one of the leafs are brown, you'll see in the pic). The lights in the prior set up were adjusted a lot so it shouldn't continue as the new set up the lights are more fixed and i did the hand heat test on all of their positions.
Here are some updated photo's:
Those are all the lights. The tube is a 3000k 32 watt floro (Red). The two little bulbs are 14 watt 4000k (Yellow) CFLs and the big bulb in the black lamp is 26 watt 6000k (blue).
Thats the current set up. Even though the tube looks off it was on in the picture. Wierd huh? I'm using those yellow bulbs for side lighting, although once these girls start flowering the yellow and red bulbs will be alot more handy. I know i have no scientific evidence to back this, but i think its better that i've got more of the spectrum on the plants then just blue. Although i do intend to augment the blue alot more.
Sorry, not the best photo. Notice the brown tips there? Thats the light burn. I figure it cant be a nute thing (I -just- started to sprinkle in nutes, and not even 1/4 the dose. Gunna not do that for a week then start on 1/4 because by then they'll be three weeks old) because there is no yellow anywhere.
If anyone thinks its not light burn let me know!
Any comments would be veeeeeeeeeeeerry helpful as i am new and us newbs thrive off constructive criticism and compliments.
