Thanks man!! Your grow is going great too, nothing better than seeing those first delicate trichomes...mmm!!!
I cannot believe how many plants you have in that closet either, really impressive!! I was pissed about the new RIU format, you can't add reps! To change it back, go to "Edit Options" in "My Rollitup", then scroll all the way to the bottom, and change the skin back to "blzin-07".
Keeping my fingers crossed man!! Do you think I should do it to all the plants, not just the tallest?
For sure, spread out the tallest one some. I lst'd all of the ones I have in the AG just for a couple of weeks. Because they are so crowded I needed to get light to the lower branches. What I am doing this past week is just moving the stalks around and tucking in some fans so the new, lower flowers get direct light from the hps. I dont have to tie them anymore to lst them. Take a look at my pix and you can see all the sideways growth from doing that. I see my lower buds are taking off and growing up to meet the higher ones. Looks like it's working.
Thanks man, yeah I Already have a 6inch CFL shoplight in there as sidelighting. But I wanted to get a few more CFLs in there, get a few splitters and just hang them on the sides. One on each side. Along with my HPS and 6inch shoplight that would really help. Plus I have a 150WHPS coming to me, whenever it gets here.You could say I have a dynamic CFL setupI have two desk lamps on flexible heads, with the hoods taken off. I have two splitters on each lamp, giving me three bulbs per lamp. I keep the CFLs craned as close to the plants as possible--about an inch--and I readjust the CFLs daily, as the plants grow outward. I also position them so they are flooding new budsites, or areas shaded by fan leaves. CFLs are a great way of getting the hard-to-reach areas, you should do it!
Your grow is going great by the way!!
No prob man, glad I could help!
Thanks for the rep love!
No, not really....well, sometimes, maybe...no.... What?No prob man, glad I could help!
Man, do you guys ever just stare at your plants for extended periods, like 30 minutes to an hour? I've been doing that a lot lately, its amazing. When you have sunglasses on, you realize just how much more light is getting produced by the high pressure sodium lamps compared to the CFLs. The funny thing is, the leaves getting hit by the HPS look the same whether you have sunglasses on or not--really bright! But I had a lower leaf placed right next to a CFL and with my sunglasses on, it looked completely dark. So yeah...HPS lights are bright...and I'm really really high to be writing this!
Great man. Getting there and looking awesome doing it. All I can say is go easy on the nutes. You dont want to burn them now. 1000-1100ppm max, then just top w/water unless your ppm really drops..Ck. your pH often.
