Just a little journal............

[Marc Benson]

I'm not worrying Mand. Just flappin' my lips and you know how I love to do that. And not suggesting you change, just giving you some info that I've glommed on to in my reading.

A lumen is just a measure of light. How bright it is to a human. It's for humans to use as it really has no bearing on what matters to a plant.

Sorry I hijacked your thread. Me bad.

I hope no one minds me doing a little grow journal right from the begining this time :) Well I've geminated sixteen sensi skunk #1 seeds, all have germinated and they have been potted and are now showing. In total this took four days. I've put them in the growroom under a MH bulb that is running on a eigthteen and a half / five and half cycle. Ok now it's the boring bit..........waiting :rolleyes: My whole grow will consist of, germinating, potting, re -pottting to bigger pots, Rating: 5

Hi Mand, good luck with ya grow

I'd need a pair of welders goggles just to look in there

hehehe

[mand]

Thankyou Chonged, thats very nice of you


Right as for you Marc yes it's very bad of you to hijack my thread..............................bet you didn't know I can be assertive did you


Only kidding love I've dug the book out and just looking in it, it's called..............."A guide to growing Marijuana in cool climates" and it's written by someone called Don Irving.

It says that a 400 watt MH lamp gives 30,000 lumens light output enough to cover 35 sq ft.
Also an 400 watt HPS lamp produces 50,000 lumens and will cover 50 sq ft.


Marc love what are you doing to me here, you're sending me all kinda technical ........much more of this and I'll be talking about the red and blue end of the light spectrum..................it's ok I've still got the book open

Hello Digi I blame that Marc Benson chap, I think he's trying to convert me to become all techie
Not to worry Digi, I can only get technical when I have a book in front of me

I've got all the light in the growroom I can handle to be honest, I went outside last night and it looked like ET had landed in my shed. I forgot to put the blanket back in place and all the light was shinning around the edges of the door

Hello I just thought I would add the next "event" that took place today

They are just about Three weeks old now and just been re-potted.

Now it just a case of waiting till they are ready for pinching and inducing...................I would like to say it's exciting stuff, but it isn't really Now if I was talking about shopping then I would be a little excited

Hey, Mand...I have a couple of days and saw your journal...
Look forward to watching you grow more efficiently, from all this free advice...
getting techi, did you say, you already converted and don't know it...

On a different note, I want to bring the ol' lady across the pond, this winter
maybe to Amsterdam, but I got to thinking what if we could hook-up with Mand in England first ...What do you think?...

[chonged]

Mand....did u use any rooting powder stuff when u re-potted ?

[mand]

Hello Latewood Me getting techie, "perish the thought love" .....................Well maybe just a tiny bit


Yes if you can call in on you're way to Amsterdam, To use an expression I never ever say that would be "cool" ...........Keep me up to date with you're plans
Mind you Amstedam in Winter, pack you're woolies it can get quite chilly. Then again you can soon get to the stage were you don't notice



Hello Chonged No love I don't use anything like that. I just ease them out of the little pot and just put them in a hole aready made in the compost and just pack them in the bigger pots.
I was told to be quick re-potting them as roots don't like exposure to light.

I think that rooting powder might be used on cuttings, but I've never taken cuttings so I don't know for sure.

Hi Mand , thought I would come over and post your thread for a change . How ya doin?

I know that I found a long time ago (particularly outdoors, but may somewhat apply to indoors too)that when re-potting or transplanting that making sure the plant is facing the same direction after as it was before, the direction it faced the sun(light) should be the way it faces after transplanting. Call it an old wise tale if you like but it has always worked well for me. Maybe it helps the plant keep from being disoriented .

food for thought
