    CSI purple urkle Grow

    They will be fine. Take care not to break any stems or bruise softer parts and your golden. they'll gust grow around it and up towards the light.

    Growing in volcanic soil

    Cant tell strain from that. And likely not even when its fully mature. You may be able to figure out indica, sativa or hybrid over time, but its way too early to tell anything. I've grown in rockwool, which is volcanic rock spun into a fiberglass like substrate. And yes pearlite is a good...

    sounds a lot like my first grow. My yeild wasnt high, but i wasnt really aiming for that. It was overall health and quality, to which i scored amazing in the end. The harvest pics from my first are still available from my grow journal i think. All CFL harvest. Good luck to yours.

    Whats gonna be the most efficient way?

    Correct. Use the soft white for now will be fine mixed in. however look to have em replaced with 6500's until u complete your veg cycle. 6500's are much more effective in the veg cycle..

    Whats gonna be the most efficient way?

    HOLY fuck.....for real eh? Your cracking me up. Weve established whats necessary for veg. My point is in my original statement; Are ya gunna grab a box of CFL's that say "soft white" and check to see if they are 6500K? Likely NOT unless your fucking stupid or don't know any better. What...

    Rolls eyes. Lets make growing more complicated for the noobies! Cummon lets. Dude unless your jacking your plants, theres no real need to be monitoring ph in a simple soil grow. Plain and simple. Sure educate yourself on optimal ph is just fine. But throwing that on the table now when the...

    Whats gonna be the most efficient way?

    Umm dont just ignor the manufacturers labels....that is our first reference point, then double check the kelvin specs. And hotspots are not possible with cfl's for the simple reason that they dissipate in a short distance. as u outlined earlier. also cfl light doesnt travel in a liniar pattern...

    Whats gonna be the most efficient way?

    I suppose it may be of use to know that Cool whites are about as effective as moonlight for growing. They lack the blue and red spectrums needed for plant growth.

    Whats gonna be the most efficient way?

    The other guys are right. Especially about the light spectrum, and distance. 2-3 inches from all leaf surfaces, and they wont stretch at all in the begining. As they get bigger, more bulbs for coverage is generally needed to keep plants tight. Stay away from 3500K and 4100k A.k.a (cool...

    this is a good thing. they will grow up when ready. if they are NOT streching then they have enough light. Plants stretch to compensate for low light, therefore spending more energy growing stem rather that node sites and so on.

    new groth yellow pics!!!!

    James this guys seems like one of those ultra fussy people i've been talking about. U can fuss over every little detail all throught your grow, and end up stressing yourself out over it unnecessarily, and only end up with less that marginal improvement. 16-18 inches is fine and a safty net but...

    This is good practice. Roots need atmospheric oxygen just as much as water. As your medium dries it forces atmospheric oxygen into the medium by taking the waters place.
