I did a search over the forums for this question but didn't find anything remotely close. My most sincere apologies if this has been asked many times! While I was out at work, my CFL bulb slipped and fell on the plant.:cry: It must have been there for at least a couple hours, because when I...

Hm, I think when it comes time to replant my little sprouties in a bigger pot I'll go with a perlite soil. :D Certainly doesn't look like it's any more expensive than what I'm using now! What is it that you're autofeeding every three hours, and if I were to start using that on my plants now...

Damn that's a lot of growth! How long did it take you to get your plants that big? Still real new to this, so I just want to know what sort of timeline I ought to expect.

What kind of lights are you using? I've added a lot more in terms of light, 2 68 watt CFLs (300 equivalent) and another 40 on top of the 40 I already had. How do you think they'll do under that?

Hey everyone! So I've added a whole lot more in terms of light, but because of my small space and lack of good ventilation, it's sometimes pretty hot in there, over 80 degrees. I read here http://weedfarmer.com/growing_guide/temperature.php that it can be okay if it's up to 85 or 90 in a...

I checked it out, looks nice! :) What size is the shed and what kind of lighting are you using? I didn't see those listed on the first couple pages, but then I've never been too observant a person.

Isn't UV light bad for plants? Not to mention for your own eyes. That's the kind of light that gives you sunburns.:-?

So I was shopping around for new bulbs today at Home Depot and came across this! http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100539203/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=party+bulb&storeId=10051#.UG9R5Y5wb7U From what I've read it seems blue light is what stimulates leaf growth...

Awesome setup! Could you tell me how you made it please? Where did you get the light sockets and power cords to plug the bulbs into is what I really mean, especially without having to buy a full lamp just to strip those parts out. :) :idea:

Hey infected! I've been reading through your post here and despite the fact that it ended up being a hermie (so sad! :cry:) it seemed like you were doing a lot of good things. I saw your post on the lighting, but I was wondering about your soil, any nutes you added, and how long you let it grow...

Yeah, I'm extremely limited on space. Only two plants, and as they get bigger it'll be even more cramped. I know these lights won't cut it on their own, I was just hoping that by using them I'd speed up the growing process since it's red and blue that plants feed off of the most.

Yeah, those things suck ass. I tried one, didn't do a thing.

Alas, yes. Tough luck there.

What do you mean by 1/4 strength? And N means nitrogen, yeah? :)

Now THAT'S what I want mine to look like! What do you feed them?

It's just blue and red. I'm planning on using a cfl bulb to supplement them, though.

Can anyone tell the how good LED lights are? I've bought a pair (these ones right here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-168-LED-Grow-Light-Blue-Red-Bud-PAR38-12W-Socket-Hydroponic-Plant-Bulb-110V-/370656932740?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564cdff384) but someone else on the forums told me that...

Thanks for the tips, guys. I really appreciate it. I've added a second bulb as a supplement for now while I figure out how to get more lighting into the very small space I'm using, and I'm off to buy a fan! All the fans I currently have are too big and would be too strong for the plants at...

I've only just started growing weed, very first grow, and I'm really excited! :mrgreen: My plants just sprouted out of the ground five or six days ago, which I was real glad to see. But I've been noticing what I think is a large amount of stem growth compared to very little leaf growth. :-( In...
