Thanks again for everyone's comments. I added a 125w volume cfl bloom light to my mix to give me a 70/30 ratio of the two spectrums. What I quickly realized is that I didn't have control of nor was monitoring my environment. I have since added a temp and humidity meter that has a sensor sitting...

Anyone know of a good inexpensive light meter?

What about node length and either fim, top, or (the hardest one of all) just let it grow God's way.

I did go get a cheap indoor temp and humidity monitor. It was showing I have about 20 percent humidity last night. I placed a one of those light steam based vaporizer near the plants and the meter did not change at all. The temp is 80 at the top of the canopy and 70 at the bottom of the space...

That's exactly what's happening hear. Its almost like after a 1/2 day the seem to be looking over my shoulder at all the bud porn if have plastered on the wall and perk right up. I do water about every other day. My thought pattern is to water with less amount but every other day to increase...

I have already looked at some of your links RM3. I read somewhere that for bloom a hps and uvb were the best combination. Although that was all that was said. I'm very thankful you shared your knowledge with me and have given great insight on lighting. Newton stated,"If I have seen further it's...

You got it right RM3. I am a medical user and am only interested in quality that is best described as 1-hit fire. Which is The main reason I started this thread. Thank you!

Right now I have two going and they will eventually be in a 4'x4'x7' space. This my first grow so I'm starting out small but would probably want to support no more than 5-10 plants at any one time.

Also, how do you get the light split with a HID system. Use two relectors that are dimmable foe each wavelength, use led system, or supplement with florescent?

Thanks Vostok, great information. For now I'll throw a 125W vitalume cog in the mix that will at least give 70/30 lumen split until I can research your light advice. I do have another question, is there an optimal inter-node length?

:hug:

I agree with you completely and it's very hard to not screw with them everyday. I just want to make sure I don't effect potency and/or kill them as these were some top shelf buds the bagseed came from. Plus I'm learning so much more than what I could from just reading online material and I'm...

Im also having trouble with determine water amounts. I think I'm ovetwatering by some small to medium margin But can't seem too dial it in. Ever time I water the plants get a little droopy and the perk back up after 1/2 day or so. My assumption is that I'm putting too much water in even though I...

I think I'm going to mainline the one I already started by trimming the 1st and 2nd node and then stopped because of of uncertainity. I am still not sure if I will leave the other to God or if I will top it. I still have a day or two to decide so everybody experience and opinion is helpful as...

Mainlining it is then. Is there any proper etiquette or procedure I need to be aware of if I want to create a grow journal to share with the forum.

I have yet to purchase my flowering light and was looking for opinions of if one is clearly better that the other. Taking out any heat or proximity issues. Just overall performance for quality buds.

He didn't come across very helpful. I guess I wont worry about him then. You on the other hand are great. In your expert opinion would fim be better than mainlining? Also I checked out your water only link Im very impressed. Ive been thinking about making a batch of super soil for down the road...

I also read that the temp difference between the day and night cycle contributes greatly to internode distance. Do you agree with this. I do understand the light spectrum and the kelvin temperature quite well from studying online information and also from the education I received (physics...

Thank you for your help Dr. Pecker.

What are some of the criteria for determining strain viability for manifolding (mainlining). All I have found so far is if its develops a single primary cola its a good candidate. Do you think there might be a better way to maximize quality and quantity. I must say from looking at the mainlining...
