Day 13


growth has slowed down TREMENDOUSLY. went out today and bought 2 100watt CFL lights, 6400K. going to go and replace the HPS light with these and use that one for flower. ANY INPUT would be great!

or could i just add the 2 lights with the hps?

So long as you can keep the temp in check I'd go for using the 2x100w CFLs and the 150w HPS at the same time.

thanks for the advice! i didnt know whether to use only one at one time but ill give it a shot! tommorow gonna go install them so ill have updated pics aswell:rasta:

I agree with Fireman. Get those CFL's in there & your plants should respond favorably, as long as you've got your temps in check.

Your grow cabinet is nice... Looks to be nearly the same size as mine, about 2ft X 2ft by 4ft tall. I have a 400w HPS in a cool tube lighting mine up. The temps stay at about 80 degrees F with the light on.

If you get your plants growing well, you'd better get them into flower pretty soon, because that many plants are going to have that cab packed so tight, light's not gonna reach the bottom... lol :rastasmoke:

I'm only growing 2 plants in mine and believe me, they fill up the cabinet nicely. :thumbsup:

One other thing I noticed - you need to work some perlite down into that soil so the water will drain better and your plants' roots can breathe.
I'd try to do it now, before the root systems get too big.

At any rate, I wish you good luck with your grow, and I hope you're blessed with lots of girls!! :hippy:

Peace

Day 17



Okay the plants are looking kinda sick. Droopy leaves and 2 or 3 have yellow lil spots but not very big. We went ahead and installed the 2 cfl's but the pic is showing only them on, but really we have both that and the HPS on aswell.

Found out that my cousin isnt watering them suffeciently and leaving pretty dry so had to bitch him out and showed him how much.

Thanks for the comments guys yea the box was pretty cheap setting up since we had dry wall left over from the house :rasta: Tommorow ill load up a good pic with Digital Macro on! haha

Oh and tommorow to the nursery here and seeing if they got any perlite!

[calichin9]
