I think your question is probably a bit broad. But just in my opinion, I think CFLs are used mainly for the convenience factor. It's easy to wire up a CFL light fixture and stick it anywhere with ease and not having to worry too much about heat or the cost of creating the lighting. For me...

Aaaargh!!! How do you do that!!!!

Day 19 since Sprout It could be a bit of wishful thinking, but my girls are looking like they are feeling better. They aren't as big as I would like for this amount of time, but we'll just have to wait and see. There is still just a bit of that rust color on a few pieces of the leaves...

Thanks for stopping by. I just ordered a soil pH meter. I thought I could get by without it but I figure I should have one. Are you checking the pH of the water in your tank?

We're both growing Nirvana's NL. And we started around the same time it seems, my seeds sprouted on the 23rd of October, it looks like urs was probably around that time. But my growth seems nowhere near as extensive as yours. Too many variables to take into account, but just making note of it.

POTATOES MUST WORK!!!! About 4-5 days ago I purchased two potatoes. Every few hours( 4-8 ), I cut off a small section, maybe a piece 2 inch in diameter, and about a half inch thick, and dropped it directly on the top of the soil. I would throw out this slice of potatoe every few hours, and...

It took about 5 days to get my lamp from htg.

Day 19 since planting, Day 16 since Sprout Things are progressing ok. The girls are doing their best to recover from the stress of the transplant which I didn't do the best job of. I think that was necessary though as now I know I won't be using such wide pots. Any transplanting in the...

That's a weird looking set of bulb holders?

So, I got my HPS installed in my main box, light proofed my vegging chamber and transplanted my plants to the grow bags. The HPS takes up more space than I wanted, so I will definitely probably have shorter grows. I also need a way to mount the lights, as suspending them from the top won't...

Just an update. With the light training, the fan leaf that was growing like it was a main cola is starting to point down while the main cola is starting to grow like a main cola. It is VERY bush too. I'll be transferring these into grow bags, at which point I'll water then start my...

Day 16 since planting, Day 13 since Sprout Things are going ok. My mutant plant, which I wrote about HERE, is doing ok as well. I wasn't worried, I've been doing some slight training and spreading the foilage out as it grows. You can see in the pictures a few potatoes, this is due to a small...

I assume you mean the pH of the soil? I need to get a pH meter for soil one day.

At the moment I'm not too worried about it, as I'm sure it will grow just fine. But this picture was taken AFTER I had bent it just a little bit to allow the light to get in there. I should have taken a picture before I started the mild training.

You guys know how plants grow, with a stem, various side nodes, fan leaves on the side, then main Cola on top in the center? Yeah..... umh ok, well my seedling decided it was going to grow that main cola on the side. At first I had no idea what was going on till I realized where the main...

Day 14 since planting, Day 11 since Sprout The plant is seems to grow more vigorously every day. Although today, there is a strange growth on the stem of one of the plants. It's like a normal set of nodes, only they are fused to the mains stem. WTF??? I don't know if this is normal or...

I'm growing some Northern Lights from Nirvana. When I was choosing a strain, it was the Northern Lights, White Widow, some type of kush and AK-48. I heard the AK-48 is very resiliant and thought it might be good for a grow.

Hey Steve, did you happen to see the latest box I made for pre-vegging/cloning? Well it was inspired totally by me seeing your cardboard box. If I hadn't seen this thread I wouldn't have built it, but it's really almost a barebones system, and the most costly thing in it were the light bulbs...

You don't seem to get my point...... that I thought they both just projected light differently. The point being that however you orient your lights, doesn't matter how you do it, that if you ORIENT your lights properly, both should be fine.

As I understood, it depends on how you plan on mounting your lights. THe flat ones were good for mounting horizontally, while the spiral shaped ones were better if you need to mount at an angle?
