I went with the 5500 full daylight because i was adding it to the leds and not using it alone for a cfl grow..From what i have read the specs on my leds are missing certain light spectrums that the 5500k full daylight has that are beneficial..

Yeah i think it might go 65 or so...2 weeks away !

That makes sense, thanks for the reply. Guess I'll have to figure out how to mount my 130w CFL in my cab now Haha

Would you have a link to the 3w white LED you are using?
The only 3w LED I can find on eBay are 3w LEDs that are red and blue :/

Yeah braugh...a few people on here recommended adding the cfl to my led's would help full out the spectrum..for the price of the bulb it is worth it..i mean some people are growing with just that CFL grow bulb.. so having that with the leds can only be better..
i had my light mounted from the top of my cabinet with a $5 dome light from walmart/lowes etc.. but i took that down and now have it in a regular nightstand lamp without the shade...it seems to give my plants some lower lighting where the Led's arent penetrating the canopy....the 3w led starter bulb i got came from home depot..check your hardware store..i think it was $9.00

I'm keen to add some CFL bulbs as well but I'm not sure how to mount them in my cab. They would need to be off to the side so they don't get in the way of the LED but height adjustable as well so I can use them close up while they are small in the beginning and move them up higher but to the side when the cab fills up!

Either way I love what you've done with your two UFOs. Can't wait to see your end yield but also a smoke report on the quality of your buds :)

Where you have listed Day 55 - is that from flip to 12/12 or from the first hair? Thanks

(Also when you look for a new LED check the test reports the guys at growers house dot com did. Best I have seen. I ended up getting the 5 watt led they liked - California Light works. Going great so far but not as far along as you.)

try adding some T5 HO sidelights with good reflectors for the walls of your cab instead of CFLs. Fleabay has a lot of very reasonable units, and then its easy to tune the spectrum

You motivated me to post my LED pics.

This is mine at 4 weeks from going 12/12. They were only like 10 inches high when i turned them (now like 3 feet plus super tied them down at one point).

200W LED 5 watt bulbs.

Right is G13 Blueberry Gum and left is BC Early Blueberry. Funny thing is for the first 2 weeks the left BB kicked ass then all of a sudden the Gum left it in the dust. That plant was the runt of the 4 types and now it is the best. Crazy.

Early BB is supposed to be 50-55 days but not sure if that is from 12/12 or the start of the hairs a week later. Gum is way more developed though but no idea how long it should take.

They are DWC.

ohh room you see is about 4x2 to give scale.

...just wish my pax was not on the fritz. good thing i have a backup vap. i would ate to have to, gasp, smoke it...ick

I've been thinking about this, Mr. Hand. If I'm here and you're here, doesn't that make it our time? Certainly, there's nothing wrong with a little feast on our time.

to make my medical marijuana capsules:
1 cup of grapeseed oil
10 grams of nice budz
a double boiler
put water in bottom of double boiler
in top pot, put in very finely ground budz and the grapeseed oil
get water boiling then turn down to medium
cook for 2-4 hours, checking the temperature of the mixture does not exceed 250.
use a cheesecloth or flour sifter to press the bud out of the oil. use a medicine dropper or turkey baster to put the oil in empty gel caps. use the cooked bud to make brownies or put it an caps too. the oil ones are great, and the ones with the ground herb in it are also a source of fibre. nl works good for this. enjoy responsibly
