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!

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!

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?

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.

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!
