the complex questions of a perplexed noob

[kindprincess]

i think this humorous as well, though i don't exactly know what you're talking about, weed hound. ansi? if you are saying to ask them for help finding a ballast, i've tried three different lowes electricians, they were all clueless. i can't believe it, but i know more about lights/ballasts/wiring than these morons! welcome to hickville.

lo bear, i had a long night, and an early morn. i did not get my uvb bulb, but i will, i may have said this, but i put up a ton of reflectors downstairs around the outdoor girl. she seems to like it better that way, though temps are holding still at 85 (as low as they go) reflectors form a box, allowing only half the circulation. but, buds look bigger already (wishful thinking?) and i can see more trichs.?. yep kinda wierd, but only about a third of the plant has a good tc count.

~hpotheticle question~
is it possible for different parts of the plant to mature sooner than the rest?

to zigi, thanx, i'll cut a small bud and try her out to see what we're dealing with.

well, i'll be back after the lights change.

love, kp

[Zigi]

the buds at the top(gettin more light) will obviously be the best most trichs etc.
Is that what you mean?

[Weedhound]

I humbly beg your pardon for assuming you did not ask the peanutheads at Lowes and frankly I should have known you would not get a decent answer from them anyway. Since I know less about lighting than either you or the Lowe's dudes I will confine my future input to things I think I may thought I might have known at some point.

[kindprincess]

zigi, this plant can be seen as three sepparate plants (three different main areas) on one section, the hairs have started turning orange/red; this section shows more trichs. the other areas have white hairs with some pink thrown in for splash, an much fewer trichomes.

~hypotheticle question~
is it possible for one main branch to mature faster than antother?

i'll say this, the branch that has the ripe looking buds started to flower b4 the rest of the plant did.

i hope it is not ready yet, the buds are still so small... about a tenth of the size of my previous outdoor gro's. i'll give her a few more weeks. incidently, my dog ate my log... wow, that ryhmes! but i don't know when my plants did what now, so i'll have to use someone else's post on this site.

to my hound... please do not abandon, i know little of lights and ballasts myself. i only said that the lowe's guys were friggin morons. come back often please...

where are you bear? lights come on in 20 mins...

love ya all!!!

love, kp

Princess check your local yellowpages for industrial lighting stores cost me about 130 for a balast kit had everything but the socket

[GrowinGranny]

Well, hopin' I could help but knowin' what ANSI means doesn't really help all that much...

Sittin' here tryin' to decide if it's time to harvest...I can't see the damn trichs...guess I need to get a stronger magnifier tomorrow...my girls have been flowering since about 9//20...seeds were given to me so I don't know what they are. Sorry hon, not meanin' to hijack your thread...just yakkin' to myself.

[kindprincess]

thanx damian, i'll try to find one of those stores.

thank you too, granny, knowing what ansi means DOES help... now i just have to find a ballast to match the bulb. i took a bulb out of the box and found the numbers of the correct ballast (can't remember now, r something) but i figure that this is going to be the way to match up.

still have one bb from seed that has not shown sex yet... first to show flower (female) is begining to look tantalizing. she is starting to get hairs all over the place.

can't wait to see what the outdoor girl looks like in the morning, she is starting to go into high gear it seems.

found out i had a couple of clones mixed up... had plant 2 switched with 3, so i had two male clones under the veg light. thankfully, i hadn't tossed the clones yet, so situation has been remedied.

thanx guys,

love, kp

Did you ever get your ballast problem sorted out? It gives me a headache. I wanna just buy you a complete light kit.
