Yes a flouro will work to take up the slack. It also gives the advantage of differant light spectrum Thats a good thing

crazyhorse Reviewed by crazyhorse on 02-23-2007. Need some advice....Checkout my first grow Well first off, I'd like to say hello. Thanks for stopping by. Anyway this is my first grow I spent sometime researching and I think I have a good thing goin. I think i covered all the bases but smell. They're less than a week into the 12/12 light cycle. Early on in vegging I had some problems with over fert. because I used this dumb root stimulator. But I gave them a good leeching and they seemed to get back i line. 2 of them were started a little later because germination took a long time. Rating: 5

Ok i through a flouro up right next to the darkside. hopefully this will do the trick. theplant that is pictured by itself in my first post is really starting to look wierd. its individual fronds on each leaf are starting to fold in like tac shells. I just got done leeching it hopefully this will cure the problem. If anyone knows what this might be let me know. Ill try to get pics up tonight or tom. morning.
Thanks, C&W

Hi mate, give her more water :thumbsup: this plant is biger and need more water

[Collie&Wine]

I think she has enough water. I have a water meter and it says shes moist/wet. I cut off some of the really curled leaves this seemed to work for the last one I saved so hopefully will see some change for the better here soon.

Its official we have a female. Shes our biggest plant so thats a good sign. We also have determined one definate male. An the second largest plant may be showing signs of male which would kinda suck but atleast we got one good female as of now. Say does anybody know a standard bud yield for a 5 foot plant? Just to get an idea.

Im kinda bored so Im gonna give a rundown of our setup if your at all interested.

Peat Pellets 3.00
12- 6" pots (for seedling) 12.00
7- 3 gallon buckets 8.00
Wal-Mart Moisture meter 5.00
Watering Can 4.00
2- Mylar Emegency Blankets 4.00
Drop cloths 4.00
Thermometer/Humdity (analog) 5.00
Water Resevoir (small trash can) 3.00

Miracle Gro pot soil 3 month feed 8.00
Growers choice Organic Potting Soil 9.00
Germination tray 6.00
20 watt Flourescent(germination) 14.00
400 watt HPS ballast/bulb/hood set 140.00 (ebay)
Chain (to hang hps) 5.00
Fan (salvation army) 5.00
Spray Bottle 3.00
Scissors 1.00
Maginfine glass 1.00

Grand Total 240.00

Its a pretty bare bones setup but it definately does the trick. Please let us know what you think.

Thanks, Brodi & Claude

The blankets rock. I'm getting one.. /dash

Well go figure out of the 20 seedlings we had at one point we end up with one female. Atleast it was our biggest plant. Shes hold steady and is about 2 weeks into flowering. Im just happy I learned a bunch and got some sort of smoke out of it. Nothin to be upset about its more of a hobby for me.

Anyway, Im definately purchasing seeds in the future. Im really looking into setting up a DWC system to grow fem Grapefruit seeds. With CFLs for vegging and 400 watt HPS for flowering.
