Hayduke's Seldom Seen Garden

looking good wow

Changed the photo period to 7pm-7am, by not having lights come on until 9 hours later. I think extra dark won't hurt. Also I think I am going to be switching to 400watt HPS, since am over 400watts right now and I could not imagine the box filled with plants and only the 10 cfl's I probably have enough for these few punny plants but not much more. Also picked up a 65watt cfl, light and bulb closeout at lowes for 30 bucks after I wired a good cord to it. I am thinking of mounting this horizontal with mylar above and use 3 or so 42 watters for a veg box to veg clones until about 12-18" rather than straight to flower. I think I will need a hood that I can vent like a cool tube or something. Trying to keep the cost down without having to make anymore costly changes. I found this:Econo 400w HPS with White Reflector - Inside Sun It comes in chrome or white. Looking for a cooltube to go with it, or a complete set up elsewhere, or a different light...just trying to stay below 2 bills with shipping. I may just get the light and worry about the cool tube later since I can now leave the box open when lights are on with new photo period. New pics tonight! you know you want to have a good chuckle!

Sorry guys! Pics are taken I will upload after work today by 6pm. Too tired last night.

 

[DKskater75]

oh sorry too late, ive already lost interest

 

[Hayduke]

Haha! So here are a couple of pics of the big 65w I may use as part of the light for veg, and a larger clamp light (I was hoping the larger reflector would work with more than one bulb...nope) with a 300w rating. Shown with 4-42watt bulbs. Maybe with a DIY parabolic reflector? $24 including bulbs.

Oh, and a mystery pic just because!

 

[Hayduke]

Ok, here we go...these were taken on day 36 for the OGK, and day 26 headband (OG Kush x Master Kush x Sour Diesel)

 

[Hayduke]

Here are some close-ups of day 36, they look nice up close!

 

[DKskater75]

well god damn its about time... looking very nice by the way i like your crazy light fixtures too lol

 

[Hayduke]

Well it is a little early for the weekly updates (yeah, I know I am talking/typing to myself, I am hoping the medical cannabis well help this also). These are some close-ups at day 40. I am wondering if they will actually make it 3 more weeks?

Currently thinking of the 400w HPS from HTG with the cool tube reflector and the agrosun bulb. $262 shipped. 9,166 lumens/sq.ft. or build a 4x4x6 box?

 

[DKskater75]

[yellowsnakes]

I thought about it and all I could come up with was I really don't know, they just look . So I read a little, and did some looking with the 60x-100x radio shack scope. Approximately: 90% of the trichromes are cloudy, 5% clear, 5% amber. So, I hope the process is slow! 10% hairs are red, but probably from the lights, although I have several fans blowing up across lights, the lights are REAL close.

Thanks for stopping by yellowsnakes. Yeah September is the hottest here. It is too nice here, I miss actually having seasons. My favorite time is "May gray" and "June gloom" when the marine layer does not burn off in the morning. Most natives hate it.

 

[DKskater75]

well thats all goooood. i only got about 50% red hairs on my one plant right now, been like that for a couple weeks. probably time to chop her down within a week or so...

Thanks Camaro dude! I am learning. The next batch of clones should be much better (at least bigger), of course the two places I know are out right now. Dropping the kid at Disney next Sat., anybody suggest a clinic near Anaheim that has bug free clones?

Welcome Da Kine! Thanks for stopping in! I was just recommended the euro-max air cooled reflector. It is what HTG recommends, and is $20 cheaper than the CoolTube. Also the agrosun bulb I am very close to making this purchase.

With the door open and lights on at night the temps are now 75-79. If I keep this box for flower and the 400w HPS, I may just mount the window air conditioner to the side of the box. Got my electric bill, and it only went up $30 with the air running about half of that month, and running very innefficently.

Here is my fortune I got after setting up garden, hehehehe!

nice fortune, may all your gardening dreams come true.
