I can only assume that your session timed out or when you posted the server was busy and timed out. NO deleted postes here dude sorry. I'm not messing with you either.

Where else would you like me to check for you?

Well i have 1 CFL right now, im getting 2 more, and i plan on getting one of those Smartlights. This is a computer case grow, right now lighting is 20/4 and i want to flower it early to keep it small, i dont mind getting small yields, i just want something! If this works i will be doing 2 or 3 at a time... any idea on when to start flowering to keep these bitches under 22" also, would a bonzai be possible to save some height? maybe even a scrog...and since im keeping it small, how big of a pot should i go to? since pot size restricts over all height....right?

Yeah i'm with Atom Bong i'm just starting out, actually have a bunch of other seeds germinated today, i'm very limited for space and money so i have the one 100watte CFL bulb now. Looking to get somethign now, nothing huge. What is a better bulb i can get at Home depot or a local store that would be able to help me out? And a flowering time might be when?

Thank Guys

[Atom Bong]

Thanks zandor much love must be a glitch. In the future I will just back up any I spend alot of time on.

AtomBong have you seen the infusion 200watt circle CFLs from the neatherlands?

[Atom Bong]

indeed i have, but how am i supposed to get one over here without dealing with the web to get it...also could you answer my other question on how i can keep a plant small and such....

[karmaxul]

I keep plants small by twisting the stem back and forth.
You can also take off a fan leaf or two when they are just emerging off the top to create shorter node spacing.
Some just flower at 4 inch clones
A higher auxin concentration produces stouter growth and more nodes

Its internet only at this point for them but you could send an international money order from the post office. under 700 dollars are 3.40usd in America.

Seedlings and Clones = 300 lumens
Veg growth = 2500 lumens
Flowering = 10,000 lumens (remember expoential loss/ft rule, lower buds count too!)

How can i increase the auxin concentration?

[karmaxul]

Thrivealive or superthrive I would guess have about 600ppm af auxins. I just ad one to two drops per gallon. Thrive alive green is all organic and red is not and has tablesalt in it for some reason but makes plants a bit shorter then green. I am guessing on the auxin consentration. I am going to be putting out a dry version of it as it breaks down less with storing and mine has 600ppm of auxins so I am thinking theres do to. Same process. The liquid I can get is the same numbers aswell.

Average composition:
Solubility: > 99.0%
PH 8-10
Moisture 1-5%
Crude protein 6-8%
Organic matter .>45%
Alginic acid 10-20%
Mannitol 4-7%
Nitrogen 1.0-1.5%
Phosphorus:0.5-1.5%
Potassium 16-21%
Iron 0.2-0.4%
Calcium 0.15-0.20%
Sulphur 1.0-3.0 %
Magnesium 0.2-0.9 %
Total amino acid: 1.5-3.5% Essential trace elements:
Cytokinin & gibberellin: 600ppm-800ppm
(Natural hormone)
Copper 1-6ppm
Vitamin: >600ppm
Zinc: 50-200ppm
Manganese 5-12ppm
Molybdenum 1-5ppm
Boron: 16-24ppm
Nickel: 1-3ppm
Selenium: 2-3ppm
Plumbum: <10ppm
Hg: < 5ppm
Co: < 5ppm
Cd: < 5ppm

Thats mine but I think theirs are about the same
