Started in December sometime...hoping to hear some good news

[Br1an]

Here are a couple pictures of the plants for you to see.
I have 3 plants each with their own ballasts running 2 x 40 watt t12 natural sunshine flourescent tubes in each. Actually the one in the middle, the bushiest one, has one 40 watt designer warm white instead of both being the same.

I've hooked them all up to this timer I found and have them on a 12 hour on/off cycle. Been watching it for the past few days and it seems to be on top of things.

How much should I be expecting to yield if I finish off this harvest with just these lights?

Another thing is that the light cycle was changed from 12/12, after sexing them, to 24/0 again to let them veg a little longer before i put them back into their 12/12 cycle. Will this cause any problems?

^^^ Hey B,

Can you upload the pictures to these boards? Many people don't like clicking on outside pages....

[Br1an]

How would I go about doing that? I have a site that i can upload all of my pictures to already. What's the html code for it?

[Br1an]

Haha nvm found it. :]

Here's 3 more pictures. The close up pictures is of the one in the corner.

NICE looking plants man...

SUPER nice looking plants considering your lights....

SAFETY POINT: Carefull with your pictures... there are two where one can see your reflection more or less... don't want your face being posted on Cannabis.com, do you?

As to 12/12 --> 24/0 --> 12/12... Well, if they've all shown signs of being female, I would think there's no problem with that anymore.

As to the harvest amount... No idea.

They look good B!

I'm sure others will have many more input to share...

Thanks turtle. I've seen you post a lot on these boards and you seem to be one of the people that is pretty knowledgeable about indoor grows. To hear compliments from you, I'm sure I'm doing pretty decent on the first grow.

As for the reflection of me, I took that into consideration. But the mylar distorts the image pretty well and unless you are some amazing photoshop worker that can somehow turn that junk into my face, I thought I'd be safe. But thanks for pointing it out.

Ya, probably can't tell the harvest amount with the few things listed here. I'm thinking about adding more lights to the group. What kind of lighting would you recommend? I'm thinking of getting an HPS but the money for that will take awhile to save up.

Hey Brian,
To tell you the truth, I'm a newb man.... I've never harvest a plant in my life. Because of newb "errors", I've been growing my plants since September 2005, and I have yet to see a flowering plant... Oh well... soon enough.

If you saw the reflection, and you're cool, fine.... Just wanted to point it out... maybe you didn't see it... I remember a thread, a couple of months ago... the dude snapped a picture, and it was... p e r f e c t. Yikes!

Light... well, get as much as your $ allows, is what I always say. But, to tell you the truth, I'm impressed at them growing with those lights... really.

I don't know how much you'll get, but maybe you can trade a little of your harvest for a HPS? Then, next grow, you're better equiped... just a thought.

Keep us posted B!

Hey it's been awhile since I've updated this thing and I haven't gotten much of a response from most of you so I'm updating.

Lighting is all the same except that instead of both being cool whites, all of them are variations of cool/warm tubes. Oh and an additional 2 plant/aquarium tubes hanging from up top of the plants. So the plants are getting horizontal and vertical lighting as close as possible. As to the plant and aquarium light, don't ask. My fucking retard friend bought it.

Been on 12/12 light cycle since the beginning of April now. Showing a lot of progress. Then again, what do I know...
