get some 65w 2700cfls from home depot for 15$ each. 4200 lumens. same lumens as SH 85w.get a reflector for 7$> so you can get the same output as the dual 85w from SH for half the cost

yea but what to do about the blue spectrum lighting? you know the plants love it when in veg, but they are the hardest to find.

Look up LST or Low stress training, I've been fimming mine, then tying them down. It makes a lot of tops!!!

look below, this is only my 3rd attempt and already decent results. not a great pic, but the best I could find.

ok i did my drain and replenish last night and forgot to move my lights up. they always have a huge growth spurt every time i drain and i woke up to my plants growing into my lights.

luckily they are all low watt cfls and none of them really get hot.

Im starting on my first grow as well. Looks like yours is coming along quite nicely! I had 7 Reggie Plants starting a week ago and I got good growth except one runt like yours. Sure enough is sprung back to life and started to grow however my puppy doesnt seem to like buds as she ate them all! So now I am starting a new Hydro setup! Pics in my album! I enjoy your posts and pictures! Thanks -Jason

ok, its getting close to flower time so im gonna make a grow tent.

farmer bill · Oct 7, 2009

i cant take credit for this because i seen someone else on here[cant remeber who] do it and i thought "wow, i can do that".

Lovin'JK · Oct 11, 2009

For some reason it doesnt let me know when people are replying so I dont know when theres an update! How is the grow progressing?

farmer bill · Oct 13, 2009

ok bad news. the biggest bushier plant turned out to be a male. i seen the sacs on it when i woke up and freaked. the little one is a confirmed lady and im hoping i can hit it with all my light and get some real growth the next couple days. the shitty part is i didnt top this one but i had topped the male like 4 times. so i guess no extra colas.

farmer bill · Oct 29, 2009

alright my one plant is a female. theres little white hairs growing all over it. it also seems that now that the bigger plant isnt sucking up all the light, the one i got is thriving. its 3 weeks into flower today. only 6 weeks to go. i sure hope i dont run into anymore problems.

farmer bill · Oct 29, 2009

does anyone know what kind of harvest i can expect from 1 plant using 5 42w and 2 26w cfls?

farmer bill · Nov 3, 2009

it looks like i spoke too soon. the day after my last post i woke up to see the leaves were wilting and looking generally unhealthy. i opened my bucket to take a peak inside and it smelt rank and the roots were all soggy. i belive this to be rootrot as i dont know what else it could be. so i di the 8 step remedy as it says on the hydropnic tutorial that was 3 days ago. the plant hasnt drank much since, but it looks alot healthier than it did before. the tutorial says it might take a couple days for your plant to get right.

farmer bill · Nov 9, 2009

i ran into all sorts of problems as of late. when i did the 8 step remedy, i didnt cut off the old narly colored roots. i also didnt have the feeding tube conected. it kept looking sick and i couldnt figure out why. well after rehooking the feed tube, all is starting to go well again. new roots growing like mad. leaves getting color back. i need to update w pics, but i cant find the fucking camera,
