    Experimental Grow

    Looking very healthy for the age mate. Interesting idea, the science is right, as it were, but it will be interesting to see how a plant that is used to pushing through soil deals with having to find root space through hard surfaces in the long run. Light amount seems fine for the size of the...

    CO2 with sugar and urine?

    Yeah, me too. I have seen visible results using baking powder and water, moving to yeast now they are bigger. My mate did a grow where he pissed in his plants for nutes, he reckons it was among the strongest weed he's grown (man has 20+ harvests under his belt, so I value his opinion).

    First grow - CFL

    I was gonna do that.....but I got high! Ah well, the way it goes and back to work today, babies are looking well (pics later). I don't know if anyone could tell me if there is anything wrong with this, but here goes: I have people coming in for the next 2 weeks to work in my house. My cab...

    My first grow.

    I cut clones with a stanley blade, £2 rooting gel from a garden centre and soil. It can be done for basically nothing, really. Read the guides on this site on taking cuttings and you are good to go. It was so easy the first time I did it I tried just fingernail cutting a branch, damaging the...

    busted!

    What is wrong with someone making a fair living doing what he loves when that is just providing medicinal herbs? Right behind you all the way. I think, personally, the worst you are guilty of is enthusiasm.

    where to find the best deal on cool white cfls?

    What country are you in? Might help. Personally I use ebay for high power CFLs, any hardware chain for low power (b&q do 1120 lumen 2700k CFLs for 10p, for example).

    Still progressing nicely I see! I don't know if you've seen the thread where someone put a hessian style screen around his cfls (it was a sort of mesh like hessian that let plenty of light through), but you could utilise your lower cfls (even if it's only with low wattage just to pump a little...

    New Grower with some questions

    1. Yes, for sure. 2. I have mostly read 1 600w HPS per square meter, so that seems bang on to me at least. 3. Reading is your only answer there, look at what works for others that have similar setup to you and look closely at how it works out for you. I think it's safe to say that when it...

    300w cfl ???

    I've used 300w 6400k (in combination with 2x65w 6400k) and am now using 250w 2700k (in combination with 2x85w 2700k) and heat is not the problem it is for me with HPS, so much so that I stuck my ballast on ebay today. I have found that the heat output from CFLs is not that much of a concern...

    First grow - CFL

    Cheers, I'm a complete nerd and make no attemt to hide it! Temps are good, I have passive inlet and extraction which runs on a controller, so I just set the extraction speed to keep it at a fairly constant 26c, as I add bulbs I just up the speed a touch to keep it where I want it. I have...

    300w cfl ???

    I used a 300w vegging light from the same supplier and boy, did my girls like that! I am currently using a 250w red, 2x85w red and they seem to be liking that in flowering.

    Super sized CFL monster

    I think maybe he meant "the largest I am aware of" but said "the largest there is" because it's like, the internet and everything, you know. I have 85w spirals in standard fittings, I can buy larger. For anything over 150w however I go e40 since you need a stronger socket for the weight.

    First grow - CFL

    Thanks for the kind words, they look even better 3 days after those pics, I'm letting them adapt to the new light for now, I think I will put the 2 65w 6400ks in tomorrow and stick them on a timer so they give 6 hours in the middle of the light period of additional blue boost (eg: 3 hours @...

    First grow - CFL

    My new CFL's arrived today (2x85w 2700K) and they are now in the box. I was thinking of maybe putting a couple of 65w 6400k in as well in a couple of days and seeing how they like that. I am a little concerned I might be getting a little carried away with lighting though. Currently the box...

    That's a nice setup man! I'm just on my first grow, had purchased HPS but decided to go 100% CFL and threads like this show that used right you can get great results by pumping shedloads of energy onto them. Will keep my eye on this one :) +rep
