Compact Fluorescent Light Discussion

That's fine Bob, being in the airflow is the same temperature the plants get. They get the airflow as well, so you are reading what they get. You want it to be at the average height of the canopy.

i'm actually thinking of topping the back plant... this should plump up the side shoots over the next few weeks dramatically

but then... i lose the main cola.

any thoughts?

here's a pic of the main cola size, it's smaller because of the extensive LST i did to this plant.. the main cola, isn't the largest...

Ahoy hoy again, just thought i'd give some update on zee girls.

Day 47 flowering and she's fattening up now nicely..

went away for afew days and when i got back the fertilizer got knocked over when my uncle was watering the plants or something.. lost alot of my bloom fert on the floor... it's a bitch to clean up too...

enjoy zee pics eh?

Day 53

i've gotten some ph down, and i'm bring the ph of the soil down for the last 2 weeks of flowering...a few doses of some neutral ph water.. then the last week will just be plain water. i took a sample too so i'll let you know how it is in a few days


Cheers

I also got to check out my buddies outdoor potted plants... by the looks of it he had two males and one female.. the female though, is far behind the males in terms of flowering. she just started to show her first hairs.
i topped her last night also... she's quite tall and has many nodes.. it doesn't need to get any taller. probably set the flowering back a week.. but should be better in the long run.

Hey bob really nice grow man, im doing the same sorta thing w/ my lights. I went out the other day to get some new lights for flowering but the problem i had was hooking the lights up to a socket. I noticed you have the same thing... the black and white wires. I was wondering if you could tell me how to hook them up and what to use to convert them so they can hook up to a regular socket. Thanks man and keep up the good work.

Hey everyone, Goin on Day 61 of 12/12. I've cut the main cola off a week or so in advance. It was considerably smaller than the other colas, which seems odd..but easily explained.

I'd gladly give up 1 big main cola and 5 or 6 small colas for 1 small main cola and 5 or 6 med. sized colas.

is what i used for a basic memory refresher on how to wire up parallel circuits.
If you really need it i will go through it step by step on how i set it up. (it'll just take a while to post it all that's all)

be 110% sure when dealing with wiring up 110v or 220v fixtures (British people tend to electrocute themselves twice as fast as American's)

Be safe if you're unsure have someone check your work too. last thing i wanna hear is some poor schmuck burnt down his house trying to simply wire up light fixtures.

looking good bobbong i havent posted on here that i can think of but i have been following the grow for a while looking good man

[BobBong]

Hey, thanks man...

Here's the sample 2 days after cutting.. not quite ready to smoke yet.. but i think i'll try her friday.

Remember.. curing isn't a MUST DO process...it's a CAN DO... you CAN cure.. you don't HAVE to.
