Lowryder #2 x Ak-47 85watt Cfl Closet Grow

[lilmiggy2009]

UPDATE!: The ladies have finally been transplanted. Hopefully I can get a picture of them tomorrow. They were moved into from what my partner said 1 gallon pots. I am hoping these will be big enough for these? They were pots that we had just laying around that we hadn't used before. The light is about a foot above the plants, when they were moved from the little pods my partner had said the roots were getting pretty big so I hope that they wont have too much transplant shock =/. Probably should have transplanted them a lot sooner than I actually had.

Thanks for the info on the pot lilmi that's almost 4L so is the same pots I'm using in my big box, I'm using a 3L (0.8Gal) pot in the pc box. You will be fine with those pots. Looking forward to the picture update

Alright sweet! I'm glad that will be good enough I just had them randomly laying around so I'm glad I can put them to use instead of paying for new pots even though Im not trying to be cheap lol. They are in those now I am hoping that they start to take off really soon because of their new homes. I am debating to put the 2nd 85 watt CFL in there, not sure if my partner will be for that.

How many CFL's did you use? Also what were the wattage?

had 20 bulbs during flowering using 14 2700k 23actual watts & 6 5000k 27actual watts total 484 equivilant to 2000watts during veg i do opposite 14 5000k & 6 2700k

Thanks for the information! Yea I wish I had that many bulbs but for at the moment when I bought my bulbs I thought big lol. So i have x2 85 watts Equivalent to 350watts each. I think when my plants start to flower though I'll put both of them on at the same time which will give me 700Watts total.

Hey buddy, I thought you had 2 of each spectrum, so are those 85W bulbs dual spectrum or something ? I saw a picture of one of those dual spectrum, is weird to see both white and red colours in the same bulb, I didn't know it works like that

No, I only have x1 6500k bulb and I have another 2700k bulb. They are both 85Watt=350 watt equivalent. I am going to add x2 4ft florescent to the sides of the walls in my grow space though

Thank you for the + rep. +rep back. Yea I should have probably moved them sooner but I guess thats what you have to learn when it comes to your first grow. I am not using foxfarm nutes at all because the only nutes im going to have to use are from the flowering tabs that I have from Nirvana. They slowly release nutes into the soil for the plants while they are flowering. Since Foxfarm soil already has 30 days worth of nutes I believe that they should last long enough for me to wait and be able to use the flowering tabs right on time after the 30 days of the soil nutes are already gone. I could be wrong because this is the first time but this is the way im going to go about it for now. Trial and error

Day 10: Here are some pictures that I have just recently took. They are both looking like they're doing very well. They are both in 1 gallon pots, the temp is still between 75-80 degrees. The light is off at the moment for the 4 hour cycle. Like I said prior here are some pictures.

Yea I just checked yours our as well. They're looking very nice for only 6 days. I can see the start of the 3rd set coming up already. I wish I could find a better camera to use other than my blackberry to take some pictures =/. Maybe I can figure a way out soon and post some more today that are better quality.

 

[lilmiggy2009]

Day 11: Showing signs of the third set coming out. Also on my second set they are starting to fan out. I will post some pictures in a little while of what they are looking like. Hopefully you can see the new growth if not I really need to go out and buy a camera.

I agree with what you're saying about the changing everyday thing. Hopefully they just start to take off just a little bit quicker I hope. Can't rush nature really though so I just have to deal. I just hope they aren't behide in growth because that may mean I waited a little to long in order to transplant them. But I see pretty much a little bit of growth each day.

Ya I saw slow growth after I transplanted for a day or day in a half then the second set of leafs grew out about 5cm in just a day LOL pretty tripy u should see an over night change possibly let us know

 

[lilmiggy2009]

I am once again not back at the location of where my ladies are at the moment so I wont have pictures until friday. I do have two of them saved from yesterday though I'll post the new ones later. Also I am hoping that they do start changing a lot in the next couple days. The roots when they got transplanted were looking amazingly healthy and if I had waited another day would have probably have been a problem. Also they're in pretty big pots according to what the size of the plant should be so I am guessing its going to take a while for the roots to do some work to see the result above the soil.
