Club 600

Dude, wtf? I pressed play on the bill cosby video.... while the little 'waiting' thing circling in the middle was going I pressed the down arrow on my keyboard. Apparently whenever that little circle thingy is in the middle of the screen, you can press the down or up arrow and start a game of snake. Trip out.

EDIT: Oh yeah,... AM, have fun with that. Unleash the beast!

You just blew my mind...

This is one of my favourite places to drink very strong beer....8-9%

And they say, not to drink and drive. What about cylincg, (note, the average Cloggie does not realise it is illegal to drink and cycle)

lots of orange juice and apple juice being drunk tnoght then,,,hahahahaha

 

[jigfresh]

I got a traffic ticket riding a bike once. The police rolled up on me and my friend lights a blazing, no siren though... they just got on the bull horn and told us to stop the bikes. Sounds quite comical now, but at 12 I was shitting myself. My buddy didn't help things by giving a false name and smearing his finger prints. He ended up coming clean and got in more trouble for lying than the bike issue. lol

Quick question guys ...

(5) 1 week old seedlings under (4) 27w 6500k cfls

Nov. 1

Nov.8

Do you guys think ill get better growth with the 600w hps (vegging)
Or should I wait another week for them to get a little more foliage .

I feel like 600w is kind of a over kill this early on right ?

 

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

Not really, they will definitely get bigger. Vegging under hid's is way more productive than cfls.

 

[jigfresh]

I'd leave em a week. But that's me. Tryna grows about 1000 times more seeds than me, so I'd probably go with his thoughts.

I'll make the switch and see. Gonna germ a couple more seeds and see how much better they grow when started under hps

Thanks guys

Id drop the 600 down if its dimmable. I don't think you'll get any benefits from a 600 just yet.

 

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

the main hing i noticed was that the nodes will not be ass tight under hid's, but overall size and how long it takes to get there i'd go hid. If time is an issue. But i think most of my experience is comparing 12/12 from seed VS veg

 

[curious old fart]

I run T-5's and have recently changed from a 400mh and the growth is better under the floros than the mh. I would leave the plants under the cfl's. They are still young, give them more time.

also, mine was under hps And i have t5's as well cof my veggies under t5 are bigger and have richer green than under my cfl's.

im using a 600 watt mh/hps conversion bulb to veg starting at week 2 after popping seeds. they seem to like it as long as i keep the canopy air cool.

 

[DST]

I don't think hid's are too much for seedlings......but each to their own.

 

[AMCHEESIER]

if i was vegging using hid then id put seedlings under it too. but if it was purely for seedlings it would be more cost effective to run something smaller.

 

[DST]

I am running a couple of yins under 12/12, and vegging a few with cfl's and such, but the mh will also be fired up shortly for veggin.

 

[cannabiscult]

im with you dst, its really just that. each. to . his . own. for instance,.....good friend of mine, amazing gardener, starts to finish under 6 1000watts. he just raises and drops the lights and keeps that room happy temp wise

 

[AMCHEESIER]

@ dst, does running seedlings on a 12/12 cycle for the first 2 weeks do any harm?? i.e when they are then switched to 18/6 or 24/0 to start vegging is there any ill effects, like you would get with a reveg for example?? or wil they just pick up and run ??

I always used t12-shop lights for seeds or cfl.

need to fire up me t5 for my clones soon

A 400 mh has an effective coverage of 2 X 2 (4 sq. ft.), while a 4' 6 bulb T-5 is 4 X 2 (8 sq. ft.) while using less power (324 vs 400) and producing less heat.
Use what best fits your growing style.
