I read a few articles on the infrared, I'm still paranoid =|you are? try living where i do where i have helicopters flying over my building every hour. and cops across the street at dunkin donuts all day, no joke.
but really, even at 250w i wouldnt worry at all. the heat sig that those lights can give off is nothing that would look out of the ordinary. read up on infared cameras and how they "see" and youll feel better.
and i forget the exact math but i think its about lumens per sq ft of growing space. not so much per plant. search around youll find some info on it easy.
No, I keep a fan on it at all times.Is your fear of the cops starving your plant of fresh air as well? make sure you get a fan on it.
ok well let me ask again. what kind of setup do you have? is it in a closet? a cab? or what?I read a few articles on the infrared, I'm still paranoid =|
And we do have a heli here, it's flat black with a big ass gold star on it. And it's always buzzing around....I hate that fucking thing!
It's in an old marbled walled bathroom shower.ok well let me ask again. what kind of setup do you have? is it in a closet? a cab? or what?
Does taller = more bud?if you want your plants taller, move your cfls a little bit higher
No, not retarded...just uneducated, but that is why you are here. Don't worry about them seeing through your walls...that is like worrying about death...once it is done there is nothing you can do anyway(and they cannot see through your walls...that is satellite technology ).Guys the backyard is safe, nobody can see the back yard. It's the power company and infrared that bugs me. I keep thinking of that movie eraser with Arnold and the guns that can see through your walls
Yea I know, that's retarded..
And no I don't check the PH. I bought a PH meter from Kmart a few days ago but I don't think it worked, It said the soil was at like 7. But then I tried the tap water and it was also at "7". So then dish soap and coffee was also at 7. I took the thing back, I don't think ti was working =|
They are planted in some heavy ass clay pots. I know I know, but that's all I had at the time >.<yea brah stay on top of your ph that can tell u alot an in dirt right now the easy way to tell if u need to water is by picking up your pot time to time to see how heavy it is i read on a post some where on here(website)
I need to get a temp gauge and a new PH gauge.No, not retarded...just uneducated, but that is why you are here. Don't worry about them seeing through your walls...that is like worrying about death...once it is done there is nothing you can do anyway(and they cannot see through your walls...that is satellite technology ).
Over watering is probably your biggest worry...more so than cops...
Your light company will not report you. When you start hooking up 3 1000 watt lights, etc...then worry a little.
You are fine with the lights.
Check your temp and keep it 70 to 79 if you can.
You can move your plants safely but less is better.
Fan good.
If you are giving a dark period, remember that it is a dark period...period.
Taller doesn't necessarily mean more bud...bushy is definitely good though.
I think you will get the hang of it...
Good luck!
