:-PI got a big tent for flower going but i got some clones that need a veg chamber like now. I fig on going to home depot and buying a flourescent fixture. I got a nice cab all pinted white and ready to go. I wonder what the dif is between t8 and t5? I have 1000s of t8 laying aorund at work! But idk if they ok to take. hehe. Anywya any ideas for a cheap flurescnt fixture. I really want like a 2 foot bulb. Also i have some perofessional black light ballasts with blacklight bulbs. I was wonderign if yu guys think it wud be ok to jus tput little flouresent blulbe inb there, they like foot and a half. I have no experience with flouros. I am reading but thot id thro this up while i do. I did do a good cloning job with cfls and have like 30 on hand but only 2 foxtures.

you can replace black lights with white lights. Steal some fixture of something, or just go buy one. it will be like 15bucks each.

ty! Gonna do just that. Any ideas if a plant went from 24/0 to 12 and 12 for 2 days and back to 24/0 how bad the time delay or shock or stunt will be? Or will it be fine?

why not use your 400 for veg that will be good all thru...unless you got two different grows going on orplan oncloning and keepin mothers the 400 will do it all

lol, i wish. I have 1 flower in full month long bloom. Maybe longer she about to seed. I pollinated her. I had 5 clones rooting. I have 2 with the flowering girl on 12 and 12 and these 2 are gonna veg for a while to get bigger plant. See whats better clone stright to flower or veg first. I am pissed they are not on the ame schedule but what to do
 
if you put clones straight to flower you can put far more in then if u let them veg..s.o.g is done by giving clones no veg time and every space is covered by a plant

yeah and it look liek it rocks! I just want bigger clones maybe than these 1 inchers i picked. It was my first time, trying to salvage what i can.
 
there no purpose to give plant veg time...you can pack more plants in there by putting more clones instead of growing them before you flower

it wont affect yeild? clone size.? ISnt there liek a min height to expect a good sog yeild.. Those sog i admore all have 1 foot clones. Mine are pathetic!
 
those clones get 1 foot when you put it to flower as its still in veg mode coming off a vegging mother.so it takes at least 1 month to turn over blooming under 12/12..thick stems for clones help alot

tell me more i gonna read too. And my veg chamber is cool, all stealth! I got a dresser for free hollowed it out and painted it white. real clean. Ha too 100 watt cfls so far and a fan. One clone is a dwc in a cooffe can for another day or so and another is anexperinental ebb and flo trial with rockwool. I water it once a day by dipping it in a nut solution with superthrive. I gonna make it a dwc and use recycled tire mulch form hd. I need to fig out what size pump for a ebb and flo. this is exciting shit. I put together a 9 plant ebb and flo table in my head at home depot today for under 30 dollars. I hope i can use a 10 dollar water pump for the system. Although i her yesterday dwc is better! So i confused. If so i just dwc the while thinbg in 2 or 3 10 gallon rubbernaids. that like 20 dollars and a 10 dollar airpump!
