What lighting are you using to take the pictures with or do the Blackstars have lots of white light?

nah, i actually take pics with bright white cfls..........the flowering models do have a good bit of white light though....at times i have to take a second look because it seems as if the cfls are still on

Question.. What are the temps in the room for dark and light cycle?
Also, how far away to do keep the lights from the plants?
Great Post BTW.. Keep up the good work bro!

Looks good. I'm intetested in maybe picking up one of these blackstars to compliment my current panel. What generation of blackstars do you have? I was looking them up at gotham and they said they are currently on gen 7. I'm also curious about the price, i saw them going for 275ish and 400ish on different sites. Big price difference, anyone know for sure how much the latest model of blackstar costs?

the blackstars are the latest generation.......$275ish sounds about right, i think they raised the prices by a few bucks

Are your plants still in that 48h darkness cycle you wanted to put them through? And could you please tell us, grounded on your experience, if you notice sth different about them, as opposed to switching directly to 12/12? Awesome pictures by the way!

pace.

nooo, i was actually reading through the bible and couldnt find any info on those techniques so i decided to opt out of the 48 this grow......so ill let you know if i notice a difference

i actually purchased mother of all bloom and add a little so my info my not be too accurate....and last grow i began flowering with cfl's either way ill keep you guys posted as best i could

and just for the record the green pics are not a green cfl.......the led's with the flash on my camera equal green

Its official...........i am a surely an asshole after starting flowering a few days ago i left the cfl's on the night before and now last night my led's stayed on all night because of forgot to hit the switch on the timer......so after the first 12 hours of darkness my girls went for 48 hours of light...........i think its pretty safe to say im back to day 1 of flowering tomorrow

no you should be fine as long as they get 12 hours of darkness

I followed a few journals on here where the grower would do 24 hr lights on, 12 off.

As long as they get their darkness it will be ok in my opinion

Question about the blackstars...i already havea panel by a different company. Have 2 plants doing great under it. How many plants would you say would be perfect under one blackstar? my plan is to add another light and hopefully a couple more plants...so maybe 2 lights with 4-6 plants under them?

2-3 plants per light sounds about right...
