Its a 5000k bulb that supposedly emits 150w of light. I started 3 of the seeds in the water bottles that i have in there, they have a bunch of holes poked in the bottom. the little plant was transplanted from another pot, so its growth slowed down a bit. one of my plants has grown big and fast, and my medium plants slowed down when i poured water in them and the roots shifted, one benefit of this Rating: 5

i took some pics of the root cluster, the entire pot was filled with roots, this only shows a portion of them, this dude emmitted a strong pine scent. Judging by the fan leaf development, i can see what kind of light penetration i'm getting. I prune the lower leaves on my plants. Oh well, this one met its fate in the garbage disposal.


Oh and turtle 420, i took off the screen because i didnt like the half ass way i had set it up. hopefully I'll get some power tools this christmas so i can really fix up the growbox

I was able to borrow a jigsaw so i cut a hole in the top of the cab and i bolted my light fixture to it. The plants are starting to bud, there are white hairs developing all over by the hour, I'm stoked

Quite an achievement considering the bootleg conditions ...i'll be interested to see what u can yeild from these little fighters. Did your clone take root...without the use of rooting hormone? ...most unorthodox !

I am now down to two plants, another plant turned out to be a male. Here are some new pics, the one on the left was trained, tied, and topped(accidently). The plant on the right was grown without any restrictions, it was a bit runty at first. I was a little aggressive with my pruning on it, put it seems to be developing white hairs normally. I've learned that its good to change the water every 5 to 7 days, I'm still using maxigro nutes at 1/2 strengh, and high phosphorous bat guano as a top dressing.

Thanks Easy Roller, your words, summed up my grow. It makes a great signature. Heres some more pics.

i have a question so can u answer it

Here are some new photos, i added an 18" tube fluorescent to my box. It doesnt quite fit across very well, but it adds lumens and warmth to my plants, its been cold around these parts lately. I found a bigger reflector for my bulb as well, fluorescents need plenty of reflection from what i can tell.
