I'm probably not going to start a log for this round since I'm so far in. I'm am going to start flushing in a few days, but I am starting to get into the habit of photo journaling so that is the first step to being able to maintain a viable one. I hate it when people disappear in the middle of their grow log I think cfls are great for being able to keep the light close to the plant without heat issues. I like how you integrated the spiral bulbs throughout. I do a similar technique for the lower half of my setup, but not much as I trim nearly every node (but I leave the leaves) up to the top few on each branch with a viable height. In these pics you might notice how I tie the blades of the large fan leaves together rather than clipping them when they turn yellow so as not to cause stress and allow the plant to continue to feed off of them without blocking the light to the lower branches. Contrary to popular belief, I actually veg under a 10k power compact typically used for marine aquarium applications. The plants love it and it keeps the internodes tighter. You have to select the bulb by comparing the spectral output graph of the bulb to a photosynthetic active radiation chart (P.A.R.) to get one that is appropriate for terrestrial plants such as cannabis. I am just starting to build my grow room now that I have refined my style. I just started growing maybe seven or eight months ago and am starting to come into my own. So I have a really good idea how I want things set up. I'm thinking of a vert grow, hps placed in the center and a circular scrog surrounding the lamp to maintain optimal distance without loosing any usable lumens through them having to bounce off the reflector loosing intensity and increasing distance from canopy on all light not in direct orientation from the lamp. Anyways, now I'm just rambling. For some reason its not letting me attach any photos. I'll post them over in the best nugs page so you can check them out. Cheers :thumbsup:
