This is my first grow and I'm trying to cover all the bases. I have an indoor grow tent and an outdoor 8x12 greenhouse. The indoor has Co2 enrichment,Hepa filtration, an air cooled 600w MH with Digi ballast, humidifier and a 5000 btu $100 home depot a/c unit. Controlling the enviro is a Sentinel CHHC-1 controller (which is so awesome btw)
I have 7 plants ( 6 Afghani Kush/1 White Widow) outside in the nice So-Cal brilliant sun. 2 of them started off in the indoor under a Sunblaze 44 4ft 4 bulb t5 CFL fixture. I kept the light CLOSE since the fixture was amazingly cool. The plants grew well and I vegged them longer that the outdoors (the outdoors started flowering 2 weeks b4) The outdoor plants are doing well but obviously grow differently than the indoors. The indoors got bushier and stayed compact (less stretching) compared to my outdoors. The leaves were also much darker green but that may be from the Co2? I moved the two Afghani's outside to flower since I did not yet have the HID bulbs and didn't want the CFL's to do it. Those two plants have been outside since mid july. I've been learning so much along the way so I had a chance to prune the indoors better and the buds are more in the canopies and look dense! When I moved the two girls outside from the tent I swapped them for 2 WW's and a Green Crack. I started those two (all have been clones by the way bought from dispensaries) under the CFL's but could take the slowness any longer : ) I JUST got my MH/HPS bulb setup 2 days ago and the difference in grow rate in phenomenal. The CFL's seemed to do a great job at quality grow but the slower speed was quite obvious. I'll post some pics : ) The greenhouse was a challenge in that I didn't get control of the humidity until the onset of some minor leaf mildew, which I since erradicated. With the realization of the need for flowering plants to stay drier than I was keeping them...the greenhouse is now only for vegging.
I have more info and pics. I'll post some and would love feedback. I've been researching this shit on my own and I'm surprised to see dank looking flowers : ) I know I could do better though! Thanks
