I know that when using your standard cfl bulbs, ideally you'll wanna hit at least 100W per plant. Is it any different for CFL tubes considering theyre much longer and cover more surface than bulbs? I've gone out and bought two 36W 6500k (~2000 lumens each, I think, box didn't have a reading) CFL...

Well I guess 10 plants is a bit ambitious. Maybe 3 or 4. 5 max. I've got a nice desk in my back shed that is just screaming for some attention. My wiring skills (from years of computer building) are quite amazing if I do say so myself. I do have one question though. When I look on a CFL box in...

Here's a picture of the Papaya! It's looking mighty fine to my untrained eyes. 2 weeksish old. I know it's rather small, think I may have overwatered during the first week.

They look mean as, how long did you veg for? LST or topping? What medium? The high wattage CFLs are actually pretty decent. What you do is get a nice wooden box and chuck in about 6-10 lights all up on the ceilings and walls. The 150W equiv lights are amazing and pretty cheap. Been watching a...

I've started watering and misting with Aquasol solution. It has a nice 23: 3.95 : 14 ratio so that should be great. How often do you recommend I use it? Edit: Found a recommendation for Aquasol if anyone is wondering and has found this post. Once per fortnight and be careful because it's highly...

So, I shall leave the auto in this small pot and just see what happens? She seems to have grown quite a bit in the last couple days. As in it has developed a complete new pair of leaves. I love watching these plants grow, it's sort of my zen project for now. For my next grow I am building a CFL...

One of my little babies. It's the middle of summer down here in aus. 41 degrees C yesterday with strong winds I was fearing for it's life! Had to water it twice in one day and move it out of the wind to protect its fragile little stem. It's about 2 weeks old, Dinafem White Widow Auto. We're...

So should I transplant it or leave it in the small pot? I think it being in a small pot will stunt it's growth more than transplanting it into a bigger pot. Should I just get it out of the way now?

Yes well, the 3 or 4 hours i chuck all my plants under the lamp at night cant be doing any harm can it? Even if the light isn't enough, it's not like it's hurting them 8) I hope I can get a 3/4 oz off my auto that would be amazing! My other photoperiod plants I'm not so sure about. I'm basically...

It gets about 14 hours of sunlight a day, and I chuck it in my light room for a couple hours every night Not sure if my one light is enough though, but whatever it's my first grow I'll be happy with half and ounce of each of the four plants i have!

And another photo just because I love my baby so much :) Will start LSTing this baby as soon as her stem can handle it.

Being the first timer as I am, I stupidly planted my auto in a small pot before I knew it was best to plant them straight into the final pot. I have a prepared pot ready for this little girl but I'm not sure how long until she's ready for transplanting. Too soon and her fragile little body will...

As said, the best way to learn is through doing it yourself. Set up a farm, grow everything! Corn, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbages, cannabis, peas, carrots If you really love the garden like we all do, go and live the dream on a huge set of land out in the middle of nowhere :)

My Auto white widow is looking great. It's the biggest so far, as expected. The Trainwreck is doing beautifully, second biggest and it has a nice colour. Papaya next, it's about the same size as TW Something strange is happening to my NL x Skunk, it's stopped growing or something. It still looks...

Who doesnt like a bit of hash anyway? ;) How long did you leave yours to veg man? I've got mine in a temporary set up that I cant really keep for long. Would love to hear a short veg time on the trainwreck as that's the one thats looking the best for me right now at 5 days old!

Update #8 Phew. Well I've set up a little vegging room to supplement the outside light and keep the plants on an 18/6 schedule until atleast mid Jan. Here's how it looks. And here's the trainwreck sprout under the lights 8) Merry Christmas! :joint:

Ideally I want to buy a decent light to pair with this shop light asap. Do you think $40 could cover it? I'm on a pretty tight budget. I have 4 plants that have just sprouted two days ago, and I'm running them at 18/6 with 14ish hours of sunlight and 4 with this light. I'm actually not sure what...

Hm, so if I were to grow outside, but supplement the light during veg for 3 hours every night with a standard shop light, would it works to prolong veg? I have started my season late and want to still have a long veg time.

Usually the planting time for Aus is around October-November. Theyre the optimum times generally. More specifically, depending on where you live you may get frosty weather. Plant after you have seen a frost for a week.

Sadly I do not have the budget to set up a grow room, nor do I have the space. By "stacking", I mean are 5 standard bulbs that you have in your ceiling the same as a 400W light that you would use in your grow room? I want to run these in my shed at night from sundown to midnight. This will give...
