My Indoor Grow,

[ghengis]

not to mention that tin foil is more than 30-40% reflective. reflection of the bright side is about 88% while the dull side is around 80%. the problem with using the bright side is that it creates hot spots. do you suppose that it would create hot spots if it wasn't very reflective?

also, flat white paint is not 99% reflective. i think it's around 85% or so. i can't locate the exact number at the moment. why would people buy mylar or panda plastic if they only needed flat white spray paint?

Sorry if my reflectivity numbers didn't jive with Wikipedia...I got my numbers from the Grow Bible (Greg Green). Anyway, my point was that you could improve your grow space by losing the foil and painting the walls white. It's more reflective (whatever the exact numbers) and no risk of heat spots.

Well like i said ghengis i need another coat of paint on my card board. Thats just a temp set up and everything is fine. Temps are 70degrees, but a little more warm at the canopy and humidity was 43 as this morning. That box will be moved and lights will hang from the ceiling. If you can tell the walls are painted flat white now. I needed more light before putting the plants in more space. Just picked up more lights last night, so everything could be taken out of the cab and start to flower. There are only two which id flower now and would divide up the room. I could even use the cab to veg out the other 3. Just so ya know im planning on putting the card board on the cab, because it will make the cab more sturdy, but when its convenient. No burns as of yet on the leaves:thumbsup::rasta:

Well my usb cable broke so i cant show new growth. They continue to grow well, still in veg. I soon will take them out of the grow box and enclose an area in the back to start flowering. I will get something to divide the room up so i can veg in the box and flower in the back of the space i have. I will get a usb cable soon and will post some pics of new growth. I got a bit of burn on 1 plants leaves, so we are moving them around each day and seems to be helping. I am trying to figure this timer out. Iv only looked at it once and im making more of it then i should, so next couple of days flower we go:rasta:

I'm confused about why you are going into flower so soon? Unless you had a SOG with clones and stuff, it's kind of a waste to put a 2-week-old plant into flower. It won't get very big at all, and there's a good chance it'll hermie, being that young.

I'd wait at least another 4 weeks at least before flowering. Unless you have reasoning that I'm not aware of.

Well i gave away too much of my outdoor grow and am just about out:wtf:. It will be close to the end of the month or a few days into Dec. I want to get a new crop going. One in which, i germ them at the same time. What i did was really messed up. Almost every plant was started at a different time, which i realize was just wrong. So, basically its a do-over:thumbsup:. This will also get me ready with clones for my outdoor grow this summer:thumbsup:.

I have the supplies needed now except for some pots that are all the same size. Id like some 6'' and 12'' pots to start and finish with an even canopy:thumbsup:. But mainly i believe i got off with a bad start trying to motivate myself. So, starting again, i can avoid the previous mistakes, plus i have most of everything i need for an indoor grow. I want to get it right this time, plus give me enough smoke to last me till then:rasta:

Just a pointer, flat white spraypaint or anly flat white paint for that matter only has a reflectance coefficient of .83 so about 83% reflectance.

A short duration of darkness is good as it gives the plant time to rest. I have used 24/0, 18/6 & 20/4 and cannot tell any difference. But I never went more than a few weeks at 24/0.

Things grow pretty well in Alaska and they have almost 24/0 light during the summer.
