Rusty's Re-Veg...

[GaGrown]

My wife tells me I have such a magnetic personality, I mess-up all things electronic within a ten yard radius. I broke the Microwave, last night. Closed the door a bit too hard with my hip, Now it won't start.
<sigh>
Ya get used to it after a while. :jointsmile:

She's right! I feel the poles pulling from here...........:thumbsup:

Am going back to WalMart to get two more of the bases and 4 more bulbs. Should I stick with the 6500k's or should I get some of the other 2400k (I think) bulbs to suppliment?
Thanks...Rusty

Well I can't answer if you get some 2500k bulbs to supplement but here is a plant I grew under 5500K CFLs. I think you'd be fine with just the cfl's you have

[Rusty Trichome]

Total of 10 lamps, 2 of which are the 2400k's. Figured that I could keep an eye on 'em, see what kind of a difference they make.

One thing I noticed already...plants grow much slower with the CFL's. Painfully slow. (I know...it's a profound revelation, lol) Am checking credit card to see if I can afford a capacitor for my 400w MH ballast.

Also, I fixed my microwave. Was a loose switch/latch. (whew, wife was a little pissed)
Only ended-up with 2 extra screws, and a weird wire-connector thingy when done. :thumbsup: (kidding)

yeah ive been playing with my lights lately. ive found that my 100w mh grows plants much faster than my 100w t5s damn near double not to metion nodes are much closer tpgether which helps my sog well this is great cause im going to have to regen these gdp now i know they are for sure i got them in flower and tried to clone about four and they died and i want to keep it gdp is such a good morning clear headed smoke.

Thought I'd throw-out an update. Week 5 or 6 in flower, I believe.
Will have to double check, tho.
Anyway, here's how she looks today...A little shorter than I'd normally flower, but was getting desperate for buds...20" tall right now, but longer re-veg would have given a taller result.

First pix: The re-grow finishing-up...
Second: Close-up...(can check trichome maturity this way, too. :thumbsup
Third: Another re-grow, 3 weeks into flower...
Last one: Yet another re-grow, 1 week in flower.
The others are Swazi clones, 1 and 2 weeks in flower. (sativa)

[Rusty Trichome]

Sorry, don't know what I was thinking...the clones above are Diesel, (indica dom) not Swazi.

[Dreadscale]

Awsome !!!

They all look really nice. How many weeks is the re-veg from the last harvest?

[Rusty Trichome]

I put 'em back in veg for about 5-6 weeks, then, after a good flush and some veg nutes, she goes back into flower. Takes a couple of those weeks re-adjusting to it's situation after being put back into veg. Same with putting them back into flower. A week or two of almost no growth in flower, then it goes crazy, filling itself in.

Will go for a longer veg from now on, tho. Perhaps an extra couple of weeks. I'm guessing it is well worth the wait.

I have to say tho...the results as they stand are better than I was expecting. Much better.

I was going to try and re-veg my Swazi clone, (sativa) but I let her go too long in flower. All the lower growth dried-up. The remaining viable leaves (required for photosynthesis and re-vegging) were too high-up the trunk, and I couldn't fit the girl back into the veg closet, without cutting-off the good stuff. Oh well...can't win 'em all, lol.

Can't wait to try it on my Potent Purple ladies. (sativa)
