Sorry for the late reply bro...
Why yes it is, but I'd suggest getting multiple ones, the number depending on how big your ladies get and how big your box is. If you give me the dimensions of your box and how many plants you'll be running, I can give you the details you need such as how many watts you should have in total, amount of cfm needed and how big of a passive intake hole you'd need to have ample air circulation. That is a 25w 6500k, so it's suitable for vegging your ladies. 6500/5500k is for vegging and 2700k/3000k is for flowering

for now i have one plant on 2 weeks with one lamp like the one on the previous post (the lamp is 6500k type of light with 1515 lumen) and i start it in PC box! now to the end of this week i will have box with dimension 60 x 60 x 120 in centimeters and i will use 4 fans for PC 120 mm with 40 Amp strength and how many lamps like the one i show?! i think 2 should be enough!? i need help with the table for the day/night time?! i have bought Kristalon for the soil this is bulgarian food for the plants xD i don't know how exact to name it. Kristalon contents different amounts of nitrogen phosphorus potassium and one more i cant see it right now! the amount of this bonus foods depends on the type of kristalon. In the veg period i use Yellow kristalon which is with more phosphorus?! i will upload pics as soon as i can because i don't have camera right now but i hope soon solve this problem ;]]

Start your own thread with your questions man.
It's rude to jack a thread like you are doing, and a lot of people like me just skim a known thread and reply to the OP ONLY.

Sorry for the long wait guys, I've been kind of busy and mourning about the death of Bengay :sad:

Yeah, she died... But I assure you that it was for a good cause!
No, I didn't chop her down. No, I didn't overfeed her. It's not what you think! I'm not a murderer! :sad:

I was talking to Bakatare about bmeat a couple of days back and we were joking about recreating bmeat's mutant basil, rubberplant, weed plant and I decided to give it a try (yeah, stupid, I know :roll:

) to fuck with him by posting it up on Grasscity and ALL of the other forums revolving around this topic.
I transplanted my precious little girl (rest her soul) into hard clay in a cottage cheese bucket, put her under 56 watts of 6500k CFL's, and fed her my own urine in an attempt to recreate his abomination. But she ended up dead within 2 days!!!!! :wall:

But man, I have to give bmeat some credit for keeping that piece of rotten shit alive, I can't even begin to think of how he did it! :roll:

All of that aside, I've decided that it's time for an update on my other two girls!
Condom seems to be doing well, but she does look a bit skimpy because I pruned her quite a bit to test out the theory of plants becoming bushier while using this technique.
Also, I plan on flipping her next week! :wink:

Too bad I sold my HPS though... My buddy gave me an offer for it that I couldn't refuse!
Aflac is flourishing as well! :wink:

Now for some pictures:
Condom (12" tall/13" wide):

Aflac:

It is a bit rude, but I don't think he meant to jack the thread bro. He just needs a little help is all!

Agreed, but if nobody tells the newbs etiquette they'll never know, and if anybody else is like me, when the post is something not related to the thread a lot of times I just skip it rather than stop and answer the question.
He would get a lot more answers with a thread dedicated to his question.

Yeah, you're definitely right about that. The amount of leniency in this forum is probably the reason why we have so many threads going off topic. :roll:

Spittn4cash · Mar 7, 2013

so you sold your HPS, and you fed one of your best plants piss and killed it.. :wall:

great job.

I take it this is no longer a serious attempt at growing? or whats the deal?

No, its not that at all! Me putting bengay into hard clay was only an experiment.
Bengay was the runt of the three to tell you the truth.
I'm also doing the flip in probably a week for condom!

I just don't care too much for it, and usually don't answer when somebody sticks an irrelevant question into someone else's thread.

Okay, I think it's time for an update!
Yeah, I know you guys are probably thinking I'm a very lazy person... And you're right, so get off my nuts!!! :finger:

Condom is now 1' 6" and will be flipped either tomorrow or tuesday.
Aflac is about 8" tall and she's growing into one fine lady! :wink:

I also transplanted both of the girls into bigger pots. And will be buying about 10 clones to fill up the grow area tomorrow or tuesday as well. :clap:
