Day 6 Overall, Day 3 after sprouting Not much progress so far. I am still only using 4 of the 6 lights I have in my cab, as I can completely cover the small plant with one light each. I haven't watered since the seeds first sprouted above the soil, which was 3 days ago. The soil is still...

Subbed!! I just spent over an hour going through your journal here. And you're yields/buds are ridiculous. 3 ozs from one plant grown indoors with CFLs!!! Wow..... So it seems you don't LST or top your plants? Although I saw in one plant at least you did top. Would you say your philosophy...

I am going to read your journal. But those plants look absolutely amazing! The uniformity of them is weird, almost looks like a corn crop with the perfect rows of colas.

For sure, thx!

My tap is about 7.0 - 7.2 the few times I've checked recently. I did some adjusting to a batch I'm using now, got it right at about 6.5 - 6.7. I'm using baking soda and vinegar for adjustments. I have that Milwaukee Meter, I hate it, has to be adjusted each time. I guess though for the cost...

Wow.... i love this carboard box thing you've got going on here. Makes me want to build one, could even just stack another one or a third of one on it if you wanted more size. Subbed.

I too think your curling is probably mainly benign. I doubt it's heat stress with CFLs..... I would say if anything maybe your hydration? What is your watering regimen like? Also are you checking pH of your water at least? Again, I think your curling at the moment isn't much to worry about.

Well, I took a bottle of water, that set right at about 7.2. I then got it down to right at 7.0, and I'll be using that as a buffer from now on. So as long as the water sitting on the shelf doesn't all of a sudden lose it's 7.0 value that I've set it to, I should be golden.

Wow this is ridiculous. I was under the impression that the CFLs literally had to be right on top of the plant to be effective. But it looks like you have plenty of space there.

Nice, these are now in the rotation for my revolving wallpaper. Some with tinges of red or purple would be awesome as well.

Cool. I will definetely be creating a reflector of some sort now!

Last season I planted over two dozen seeds outside, they were bag-seed btw. Of those garbage seeds I had maybe one that didn't sprout. I did the shot glass method, for about 24 hours. I only planted the ones that were able to take in water and actually dropped to the bottom. I always get...

Do you have a link? As the ones I saw are those green ones that everyone complains about.

One other question, there is no reason for the distilled water.... once you get it to the pH you want anyways to slip to some other value is it?

Have you tested distilled against a buffer solution? Is it always spot on neutral at 7, or is it just close?

I have a question. I got my meter and it came with this small packet of buffer solution of 7.0. To avoid buying more solution, would it be reasonable to calibrate the meter with the buffer solution, then just find some water, get that to 7.0 and keep that water around? Basically will...

4 Days after Planting seeds, 4 days overall Here are some shots of the little girls now. They're doing ok. For now I have most of the lighting removed as I figure since they're just to tiny little seedlings, I can cover it all as I literally have the light a half inch right off the top of...

No serious updates save for the leaves folding down on that second sprout. Two orders of business. 1.) I will be exactly doubling my lighting inside my case. This will bring the total wattage to 23 x 12 = 276 watts inside my case. So still less than a 3 bulb fixture using standard 120w light...

I'll definitely get MORE cfls, as is right now, I plan on adding doubling the same CFLs I have now.

Ok, it's not all that pressing at the moment. But I am thinking about building some simple light reflectors out of some mylar lined cardboard to wrap around my lights. I will also be adding 4 more lights, so I'll do this for all of them. The plan is to build one reflector for each pair of...
