Yeah after looking around at other journals using HID bulbs, I realized that 90% of people mount them sideways. This would also help with how tall the plants can get, as I would gain probably 4-6" turning the bulb sideways. I just need to figure out a good, SAFE way to do it. The ballast is...

Haha you said it man, I didnt even plan it that way it just kinda worked out. The seeds were actually ready to be planted about a day or 2 before I was ready to plant them so that made things interesting. Well anyways, I officially got my new thread up, pics & all so come one come all & bring...

OK, I just wanted to make a quick post to bump this thread back up for anyone who was following it. I have my fridge setup in the garage with a 175w metal halide and some CFLs right now. I have 8 seeds planted in Jiffy pellets. At lunch when I went home 2 of the 8 had sprouted already. I...

Lookin good tanker, youre whole thread is really comming together. Few seperate grows, multiple ways of doing certain things. Five star all the way! I pulled the plug on my girls yesterday. They were all dying and I have new plans for a grow in mind anyhow. I am getting a fridge that my...

The grow is lookin great man, we germinated on pretty much the same day and I have, as of yesterday, pulled the pug on my little gals. Most of them were curling up and turning yellow/brown. A couple just started falling apart and I figured even if I saved them they would be fucked up. I am...

Well, its official guys. I pulled the plug today on the lights. Most of my poor little gals were all curled over and brown/yellow, and the largest ones (only 2-3 inches tall after 3 weeks) had lost all but 2 or 3 of their leaves. I will be picking up the refrigerator tomorrow, it has...

OK guys, sorry its been a while on an update, and this isnt an official one yet. Oh and btw, was RIU down for a couple days or was it just me? My babies are not looking very good at all. A few of them are shriveled up and turning brown, the largest is very yellow with some crispyness to it...

Your grow is lookin real good man, we literally germinated on the same day haha. It is fun to follow your thread even though your plants look larger than mine :( I have/had the same over watering problem you do. I was giving way too much water for a while and from what I read even 1 water per...

OK so after a few days of much less water and raised lights they seem to be doing not great but not any worse haha. I also have watered twice with the Superthrive blend now and all new growth seems to be pretty green but most petals and half of the plants 1st set of leaves are showing some...

HAHAHA Pics are what make the world go round....well the forum world anyways lol. Besides there are very few plants more stunning and crazy looking than cannabis that's for SURE!! KB

Man thats awesome, I'm so happy for ya!! So was that plant a 12/12 clone or did you start it as a seedling? Sorry I forget I have read through so many posts recently. If that 21grams is DRY then that is AMAZING! My buddy only got like 26 off his 1st attempt with a 75w HPS and 150w MH in a...

Yeah I figured the lights being too close was probably a big factor. Although I haven't been 100% informative as to just HOW MUCH I was over watering them at first. I have never grown anything and I had a 32oz spray bottle that I would take the sprayer out and water with. On the first...

Funny thing is, after running for about 4 hours today, I turned it on when I got home and I had to actually look at the blades to make sure it was going lol. It is easily 10 times quieter, Im thinking it just needed to get worked in. I will still look into putting some foam or insulation...

Bump :hump:

Howdy Baked Your ladies are looking GREAT man, so dark & bushy!! I would not worry one bit about the drooping unless they stay that way for days. Check out this time lapse video I found on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I03RYoa5qKk It shows how the leafs will naturally droop then...

Heya Green Sorry I haven't stopped by sooner, Im just so used to people droppin links for their journals I figured you didn't have one when I didnt see a link. Kinda sad huh? haha. For the record, feel free to drop a link in any of my threads at any time, Im all about spreadin the CFL groove...

Well like I said, if you give the plant an even mix of light and dark hours, like 12 on then 12 off, it will start to flower. If you do this too early you will get very small popcorn buds with lower potency. If you can manage to let the plants get as much sunlight as possible during the day...

OK here are some pics of the largest and smallest of my 13 plants. As well as more pics of my light setup with the lights raised a bit. Plant #1, largest of the batch. The petals have turned pretty yellow and the main leafs are curled under pretty bad. The tips of the curled under leafs are...
