Willy JACK'S HYPNOBERRY

Ok So i have my plants going through the dark period before i can switch it over to 12/12. im going to remove my T5 vedg bulbs and switch over to my bloom T5 bulbs

[bombdiggity]

hey i was just wondering what brand T5 do you have. I have the same kind of T5 - the 24" 2 bulb setup and mines 110w with 10,000 lumens. Your plants are looking nice and bushy like mine did, no stretching really.

Great work !

[anbesol]

Im not sure what brand it is but i got them from High Tech Garden Supply Im hoping they turn out nice. I cant Wait to grow my next few as well, im thinking about doing a sativa Mix or go for Sour Diesel

[whoreable]

Very nice, a little small for Flowering but thats okay, they look naturally short and bushy like mine

[anbesol]

Yeah they are kind of short, but all the books ive read about CFL's is that you should start flowering after 16-20 days.

Hey Anbesol, fat, beautiful indicas there, bro!

T5s aren't actually CFLs, but that's ok. CFLs are the compact little swirly ones that fit into standard light sockets.

I don't know where you're getting to veg for LESS time with less wattage/lumens? Doesn't that seem contrary to logic? I would think they need more veg time with T5s than with MH.

Less veg time + less intensity = more bud from a single plant?
No way. The only way that would work would be in a SOG setup gauging gpw/m and it would take a long time.

Hey Thanks for Taking a look. I can Understand Exactly where you are coming from and it really doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. If you have heard of the grow book "Grow 8 oz Of Bud for under 100 Dollars?" The grower grows 3 plants under CFL's and vedges for only 16 days, he claims that the fluoresent light doesnt penetrate as well as HID lights. He says that after 2 weeks of begining 12/12 that the plants should double themselves. Im taking a leap of faith that he is correct, My last grow i had, i vedgd for 6 weeks and the lights didnt penetrate well and i didnt even finish the one plant. so wish me luck, and i will keep everyone posted because i do want to see if Seemore Green's book is correct on the 16 day rule. I waited till 20.

I also plan on throwing reg 100 watt CFL's arount the lower limbs to help those bud as well

These Are The 3 HypnoBerry's First Day at 12/12 and 5 min's to Nite Time

Looks good, Anbesol!

First off, no, I haven't heard of "Grow 8 oz of bud for $100" but the title is just as ridiculous as the info it provides! I mean come on, that's just silly and misleading. Sure you can grow a half pound for a hundred bucks but that takes a few grows to even out. Hell, a LOT of people pay more than that per month in HID electricity!

The author, whoever he is, is correct that there's a stretching period where (most) plants double or even triple in height when first dropped to 12/12.

I don't believe in the "because it's bound and tangible and came from a publishing company" theory of education. Instead, I feel you learn the most from witnessing and taking notes from real world application, i.e. trial and error.

It just so happens there is an amazing little resource full of what works and what doesn't, with UP TO DATE info complete with outside criticism and praise. This invaluable tool is packed with real people, really doing it, and unlike other sites, it feels personal! People on this forum really bond while striving to work together to form solutions to more efficient grows.

I've read more logs than I care to count and will continue reading until the internet is all used up and we got to head out californee-way

[anbesol]

I Can Understand Your Point. But You have to wish me luck bro. Now i dont expect to get buds that are even comparable to a 400 watt, but im going this way before i switch my current set up to an orchid grow and go up to the 400 watt. I hope you Keep Watching Thanks SimonMakus.

These Pics are From Day 4 of 12/12
They Have Increased Size.
I also had just sprayed them so thats why they look wet. ha
