Have u had good results using the cfls?

I'm flowering some white widow x snow white. Lights are on 12/12 schedule and they are flowering nicely.They are into the fourth week of flowering. My question is this. I'm using 8-100 watt 6500 and 5000k bulbs for 2 nice bushy plants. Do I have too swap bulbs too 2700k or can I keep using the...

Hey T. I'm gonna go on a limb here, have u thought about LEDs? I have used them. They work. If u can solder or if u know someone you can buy loose LEDs, radio shack has them but I got mine from a site called. The led light.com. If u can get a hold of some royal blue LEDs and mount them in your...

The fluros I'm using are all basically for plants in aquatic settings. They all promote photosynthesis so I thought I'd try them. I have mh/hps setup with cooltube but its too much to be stealth. I wanna experiment. Lol mad scientist. I am seeing much new light " greenness" since cutting back...

Let me ask u this. What light source can I add to get better results. I'm running 2 flora sun tubes 1 ocean sun tube 1 reef sun tube and a 65 k daylight aquarium tube. All are 15 watts and 18" long. Thats on a plywood base all 5 running same way about 2" apart hanging above plants about 4" away...

The flouros are aquarium bulbs. I'm using 4 100 watt daylight cfls. Is that ok to flower under?

Reason I ask is I'm running 5 aquarium flouros overhead 18 watts each. Assorted spectrums all ranging from 420 -640 nm. I also run 4 100 watt daylight bulbs in a lightbar for undergrowth. Light is still at 24/7 but I'm not seeing that much growth. Plants look great nice lush green but just...

I want to know if a 80 watt homedepot metal halide security light is enough to veg 6 plants under? Also would A hps security light 80 watts be enough to flower under? Plants are in a 4'x30"x4' cabinet.

I think your right. Rootbound! I think bigger pots would help big time. I just noticed the size of the plant in comparison to the pot there in. I'd start there, first use some fresh soil around the rootmass that your gonna pull up. Nice and fluffy soil and just give it water ph'ed of course...

I'd cut it up and clone the shit out of it. If it's great weed it be worth it.

Ive been at this a while. Had many many grows, most were left to survive in the great outdoors alone fending for themselves. Funny thing is I have never done anything more than germinate for them and I always have nice fruits. Now indoors is somewhat of a challenge. Lighting is critical. The...

That's miraculous! Are you a carpenter?

I would go to target and buy a cheap cabinet large enough for 2-4 smaller plants and a few cfl bulbs and work with that. It's stealth enough and would work out nicely. Cabinets like that are very inexpensive and sometimes things can be gotten or found for little or no money.

http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/biobookps.html Giving a plant more light than it can use is and can be harmful. For one way you will bleach out the leaves. That will make them useless. Without a healthy leaf system the plant can't photosynthesize.

Well I'm certainly no expert but I will add this with confidence. Yes air is important. For one thing having air circulating around a plant or even straight at it helps the plant to develope stronger stalks it just makes a healthier plant overall. That's my take on it. I added a 120 mm 12 v...

Yes it's a second attempt at it. First time was nothing but death and mutations. Thank god the seeds I started that with didn't cost anything. My second try went much better,it's all learning the hard way for my ass. Now I know what to do and it's going ok. The roots disappearing gave me a scare...

The clones were taken off a different strain called La Blanca it's a photoperiod strain it's got a few hairs comming out now. They are doing great but my main concern was the easyryder auto flowering. I didn't know why the roots disappeared and why the top 2 leaves turned yellow just overnight...

Well for starters it's an autoflowering strain known as easyryder. During the vegging it started flowering with light cycle still at 24/7. Now 2 weeks into the 12/12 cycle the upper leaves especially the last 2 leaves closest to the flowering top of the plant just turned light yellow in just 24...

I am into the second week of flowering. I now notice that roots that were protruding from the basket are not therenow. I can see some roots in the clay pellets but they seen to be disappearing. Can this be remedied?

I like the box u have designed. It's similar to my setup. All is well here. I'm using homedepo lites. 100 watt daylight bulbs. 4 to be exact. I'm also running 5 zoo med aquarium flouros. Overhead with the cfls in a lightbar(12$ from homedepo) on the bottom for side and undergrowth. The aquarium...
