haha thanks man. so i was thinkin about using your feeding schedule. but i am a little confused. soo you mix the FF as directed and water, then the next watering you use molasses and rain water?? or am i reading it wrong or something.

that feeding schedule is for autos i came up with, heres a pic for regular plants that i used on my other grows. i mix rain water and tap water to get my ph close to the mid 6's. when i use the molasses once a week, i use straight tap water, the molasses lowers the ph to be close enough and give them 2 tspn's to a quart of water. all the ff nutes go into a gallon of mixed tap and rain water, i also have another jug of just mixed water. the plants get watered 2 times a day, once with the nute mix and late at night again with just the water mix. hope all that made sence, LoL.

haha ok that makes sense. I know I was going to use it because I am growing autoflower pineapple express. so you started using nutes on week 1 though??

Next thread you start should be titled "Pimp My Box"

Hahah thats cool im gunna do that my next grow. but do you think 2 6500k 27w and 1 27w 2700k is enough for 1 plant?

To complete a grow, yes.....but your gonna have a ton of stretch, and fluffly buds. Do yourself a favor, and get you atleast 1 42W soft white'r to add to the mix (They're $10 a piece at wal mart) You'll be much happier with the higher wattage light bulb √

i think that would be a good start, i like 5 bulbs per plant but i think you could get away with 4 maybe. heres a pic of my veg box with 4 bulbs. i would switch the bulbs around though, you want more 2700k's than 6500k's, try to get 3 to 1, hence the 4 bulb deal.

ive wanted to get 6 of those monsters but im worried about heat buildup in the box. that would be cool with 6 of them, 252 watts, hell yeah, LoL.

Alright well i mean you should check out my grow in my sig, but right now i have 1 2700k and 2 6500. i have a 42w 2700 but not sure best place to put it..

but concord your sayin i need more 2700k than 6500k? i thought that was that for flowering.

im doing my autos with 9 2700k's and 1 6500k, i just figured with the set life of them, i wouldnt need to change bulbs. well, they grew just fine, LoL. when i do reg plants, they only stay in the veg box about 15 days and then into the big box, mostly because of space.

heres todays pics, its day 54, girls look great!! maple has held steady at 35 inches since i added the second story, LoL and sweety is at 25 inches. the temps are between 81 and 86 and humidity is around 35 to 40. i mixed up week 8 nutes, these 2 plants drink about 3 gallons a week, 1 gal of nute juice and 2 gals of water.

Hey cd....I see you have a 3 socket vanity bar at the top of your cardboard box....I really like your idea....I am going to build my box out of an upright freezer....Do you think a 3 socket jobbie will do the trick or should I go for a 4 socket or larger ? thanks

Also: I know you have been growing and prolly have it all under control but I looked up your light bar at Lowe's and it's only rated for 180watts max (at least I think this is your bar)...I guess just be careful wouldn't want to see a fire....Here's the link on those specs...thanks

Keep up the good work, your babies are lookin' good....I also am going to use emergency blankets for reflectors too...I just scored a 4 pack of them on E-bay for $6.15

yeah, im gonna, fox farm trio first though.

day 4 and the little ones are doing great. the soil has nutes in it and ive been watering them with rain water with 1 tspn of molasses mixed in, they look real happy.

How much do you think the molasses helped your plants over all ? Did it make them sweeter tasting at all ? And how long did you feed them it, and will you do it again ? rep + thanks

hey concord how did you wire up your light fixture?? been thinkin about a cabinet lately

depends on how wide you can go, the 3 hole is 18" the 4 hole is 24".

right, its rated for 3 60 watt bulbs. with the 11 bulbs i have, thats 263 watts, close enough, LoL. ive been using this for over a year now and have no problems. good deal on those, way to go.

ive been using the molasses for i guess the last 4 grows, not sure if it helps but its not hurting anything, i have nothing to compare it to. i give it to them once a week in place of a nute feeding. i havent grown any weed yet that really tastes great, LoL. im hoping this bud taste great though. and yes, i will keep using it for all my grows. thanks man!!

it comes as a hard wire, which means you have to add the cord because its made to be hard wired into a junction box on the wall. i took a 6 foot extension cord and cut the end off and used wire nuts and black tape.
its real easy.

heres todays pics, its day 55, there getting close and i cant wait!! some of the hairs are starting to turn brown.

Thanks for you answers cd.....I think it's awesome that you get such good grows with just lights from the top and no side lighting, and cfl's at that !!! That mylar must help out quite a bit....

says I have to spread rep around before giving more to you...lol...will rep you whenever I can

ohhh ok haha thanks bro if I do make a cabinet i'm gunna do that. I like your light set-up with the 4 cfls
