World's First Radical High Stress Training Experiment.

Not sure I'd try this stealth technique again.
Unless I got a better blower and an HPS for this flowering stage.

Still trying to find best deal on a 125 CFL with warm 2700 Kelvins, but not sure how much time left for optimum trichome coloration and harvest.

Gotta talk to latewood or somebody else about a Home Deepo 80 Watt HPS security lamp for $50. Package says closest reflective surfaces on that lamp setup need to be 5' from enclosed bulb. But though I read you can strip away the enclosure+glass away from the Ballast+Bulb assembly.

With cooler October now air I can keep the closed up Cabinet temp at 74 with these Five 42 Watt CFLs (and current cheapo blower). Just need to keep the temp of this basement no higher than 69Faren. Opening windows for a couple hours does it.

latewood (or Z? ) if you read this please confirm or guesstimate if an 80 Watt HPS (unenclosed in housing) could be kept cool if I lower ambeint basement temp to say 66Faren, or would I still need a badder ass blower?

Days 24 thru Day 30 growth seemed to slow to a standstill.

Yanked the one last surviving clone about two days ago. Just sat there for days and days of 18/6. When I pulled it (heavy on perlite and vermiculite soil mix) top roots had grown very little and lowest roots were completely gone.

You called it on the money, Zand. Clones were doomed to black thumb syndrome from get-go. Very little to do with luck if we do what you guys tell us. Includin' Garden Knowm too when we can wring the verbiage outta him. Chucklechuckle.

At least I now got all the stuff and won't have to waste time sourcing and getting the bubbler items together.

[To tell y'all the truth, part o my gripe is that for this growspace I couldn't just go along and start buying all the best stuff in sight unless I knew I could the whole bannnnnng out of all the dough spent. Let's face it. This was as much an experiment on how to just get a couple oz's.]

Input welcome.

Out fer now.
