    Have you tried the twist method on any of your crops? When the growth gets to be 8" twist the stem until you here a crack, this produces thicker foliage and extra srong stem growth, i have tried this method and have reaped the rewards in the past, although on this crop i have been having problems with getting the right nutrient balance, the ends of my leaves seem to get singed for some reason. any suggestions

    Has anyone out there used Farm Tek ? I bought a few 125 watt cfl for $39.00 they have the best prices I could find. Most search engines should have farm tek. I found them with google. Happy Trails

    here are some pics of my current and my last grow.

    setup is 3x 26w CFLs, 2x 40w floro tubes

    was my first grow and i did a lot of stupid shit that cut down on my yield but the bud was pretty good. in my new grow, i'm definitely gonna keep the size of the plant WAY way down.

    my first grow probably gave me maybe like 1oz - 2oz but some of the buds were really small and wispy. i threw a shitload of it into some brownies one night, ate them, and they didn't kick in til 7AM the next day at work. that was one messed up day.

    i have a lot more pics also if anyone wants to see em. also here's a link to my grow log in the "closet/cabinet growing" section.

    CFLs will get you high. i'm gonna buy an HPS some day though and build a cab that i can manage more easily or start growin in my big closet.

    2700k
    Total lumens = 5400
    Total watts = 300

    That's quite a bit more 6500k. Is there any reason to add the 2700k to the veg time? I'm trying to grow two lovely ladies from bag seeds.
    You are using a total of 1080 watts of power. If you are paying $0.05 per kilowatt this will cost you approximately $29.16 per month ( $0.05 (rate) * 1.080 (Watts converted to kilowatt) * 18 hours ( time for veg substitute 12 for flowering) * 30 (days, average month days)).

    You could go out and buy a 200 watt compact fluorescent that would give you 19,000 lumens with one bulb (another web page said it was 18,000 lumens but the company emailed me the specs so I believe them a little more). Now the cost per month same as above would be $5.40 per month (veg). You can find the bulbs at http://www.extremegrowing.com/lighting.html , I am not saying to buy from them but this is the bulb I got. They do not have the 200 watt on their website at this time, but do have it in the downloadable book.

    If you want one, go to a hydroponics place and see what they have. If you are worried about being track by your purchases then pay CASH. I have two of these bulb one 6400K and 2700K and will be putting both to work soon. This will give me a total of 38,000 lumens close to what you get from a 400 watt HPS. I went with the CPF because the heat is less of a factor.

    Just thought I would add my 2 cents worth.

    ...does anyone know a good natural source of CO2...I have heard "dry ice"...seems a little sketchy(unefficient)...but if so, how is the ideal way to use it...P.S. I purchased a few T5 CFL's it's the way of the future...out:rastasmoke:

    Ok, so I went to home depot to check out T5 tubes.
    Geez they are thin! They didnt have T5 ballasts but had plenty of T8s

    What is the difference between the 2?
    Why are T5s good but not T8s?

    Thanks!
