Looking good.

Thanks dude there all lst'd now since the pic. Just waiting to get some cfl had to pay rent today boooo !

 

[Ontheball]

little update got a new seedling in there not streching burnt my big plant whilst lsting it but he's got so much more growth its amazing still no nutes just water. added a digi timer to the setup. so now running 18/6 instead of 24hr.

cant seem to get my humidity up think thats the lights fault tho. i took the fan out too as ive got a new batch coming and need more room. at the moment i just open it when im home and point the fan in.

looking to get some pc fans when i buy cfl's tho ! thnaks for looking

 

[Ontheball]

cant wait for my new equipment it makes this looks so incredibly shit ive learnt alot recently my next grows gonna blow this away

 

[thexception]

getting new toys, eh? nice! problem raising humidity? u can simply mist ur leaves, that should take care of it, just make sure not to get ur lights wet.

 

[Ontheball]

I have been misting but believe the light just isnt giving enough heat, but yeah new toys defo needed cant wait to get some and grow some trees !

 

[Ontheball]

i removed all the training last night , and gave them there first rest on 18/6 opened the doors this morning to a lovely smell ! first time ive caught a whiff from these babys and they all look much better today. heres hoping too many arent male !

Hiya im a noob myself, If your looking for CFL`s look no further than Ebay. Im currently using this for veg:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190469579555&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

For me in my 1.5ft x 2ft x 3ft Height space its working a treat and they also do the red spectrum for flowering.

ah is it ! well if im ever goin up north ill holla u lol , it gone expensive ur end ?

I'm in Scotland too,expensive isn't the word the guys round here (north Scotland)want between £250-£350($405-$567) an oz depending on strain.it's a joke and it sells rapidly. Hence why I'm growing my own. Been smoking weed 15years and seen some crazy prices but now it's just got obscene. In south Yorkshire I can get oz for £130 ($210) and it's top stuff trouble is nobody likes to send it through post anymore.
Just starting my own cfl grow I ordered a kit from a hydro shop should be here Monday. Just wondering if I'll need a extraction fan with a carbon filter it's a 250w cfl in a tent 80x80x160cm tent.
Sorry don't mean to highjack the thread.

Hey man no worrys id vent it personally more to benefit the plant than cool the light i think its only hps's that need cooling , however i could be completely wrong.
Ive always dipped in and out of smoking weed but recently over the last 2 years its become a 24/7 event as ive found it helps a nagging back problem. I used to get oz for £80 back in school could be crap could be amazing but price was always same. Now high grade is £200-280 an o dep on strain and standard homegrown is £140 an o. Its actually criminal lol i dont know anyone out of this area to go to so cant get better id drive to scotland and back if i had too and im at the opposite end lol not that it would help your getting robbed just as much as we are !
