Compact Fluorescent Light Discussion

Nice..!

But, how much lumens do incadecent give? Is it enough?

And, don't they get pretty warm?

[Sentinel]

So you are using cool white and not soft white? Where I live they only sold soft white twirly fluoros. SO i ended up buying 4 shop light ballasts and 4 32 watt cool white tubes. And im getting very little growth, at 3 weeks old they only were maybe 3 inches tall and 2 wide.

So, you tie down the main stem to reveal the secondaries?

Or how does it work??

[BobBong]

Incandescents aren't a great source of light.. infact, i'm not even sure how many lumens they put out... i have 500watts of red spectrum in there though...

I've decided to take a larger sample of one of the plants, i'm off to visit my buddy in a week and decided it'd be nice to take some with me... i'll give you a weight when she's dry

... LST is tying down the top growing shoot to reveal the secondaries..as you can see.. even without the main cola he plant is still pretty large

[Powder Puff]

Looks nice!

How did the last sample do??

[BobBong]

Looks nice!

How did the last sample do??

still drying i'll probably give it a smoke on monday or tuesday

[Powder Puff]

Nice!

[dingobaby]

Nice, thanks for the info. Do you ever untie let the middle cola?

What would be a good way to get all the secondarie growths nice and strong so they dont bend a shitload during flower time when they get nice and heavy from that beautiful flower Ms. Mary Jane
