Does this light fit into a normal socket?
Naw, I don't really want any clones off that plant, too Sativa-ish for my limited spaces. It was a freebie seed, and when I planted it I didn't know that. But I haven't the heart to kill it. What I wanted to do was breed it with a White Rhino or a Blue Mystic or something, or an AK-48 but I have no males, haven't seen one in a while, half a year. Never thought I'd view no males as a bad thing, but I didn't expect to go THAT long without seeing one, sheesh.
The stunting is from such a big plant being trapped in a tiny 1/2 gallon pot for five months. I'm actually pretty amazed it got as big as it did, as it was SERIOUSLY top-heavy in that little pot! How such a tiny root ball could support such a big plant, I have no idea. But it was intentional, stunting it like that, while I figured out what to do with a Sativa-dominant plant. I came very close to killing it off a number of times, but just didn't have it in me, and the longer I kept it alive, the more reluctant I became to kill it.
I added some more mylar in the closet, and another four bulbs, for 500ish watts total (but only about 38,000 lumens, not nearly as efficient as an HPS light). And I have eight more CFLs I'll probably see if I can add in there later, to bring it up to around 50,000 lumens (for 700 watts of power) in there. That may trip a circuit breaker though, so I'll see. Not efficient at all, but don't have the bucks for a second HPS light at the moment, so just making do.
And...she began 12/12 today, sitting in a second closet now in darkness, while a little 10" Blue Mystic is in the lit closet getting some light. It's gonna be interesting trying to keep that tree in there for two months; hope I can do it! The closet I'm using for the dark periods is also where my clothes are. Lol, I bet they are gonna reek of growing cannabis after two months of sharing space with flowering females!
I'll probably start a separate thread, if anyone's interested in watching me battle with the tree for the next two months or so.
