Nope its not a clone its from seed germed on 7/7/07.

So what exactly does root rot look like? I haven't seen anything that looks remotely like rot on the roots. They look nice and white to me. I know that I should paint the rez, but I just haven't got the motivation yet.

Damn dude lookin VERY good. Those plants have super tight nodes :mrgreen:
Tell all the cfl haters to go blow. I too have seen some nice grows with cfl's.
Also Lumens do not mean everything. most of the light an HPS or MH puts out is not even used by the plant. Plants use alot more of the light put out by cfl's.

Dude I dont know what I just said...smokin my mother in laws stash. :joint:


A much larger yield should be motivation enough man!

Yeah what is up with all the CFL haters. Some people have done some nice grows with them. I think its humorous when someone says something like "the lumnes dont really fit right for tight bud growth or quick growing." What does that mean. How does a lumen "fit".

It's the intensity that your looking for and cfls are only intense close up to the plant, meaning that when flowering comes around the whole plant isn't going to get light like a hps or mh would, and thats why you get bigger tighter buds with a HID because they provide more usable light that is more intense provide the plant with more light.

Yea I'm not gonna argue with that....The whole luminous intensity and radiant intensity and luminous efficacy and blah blah blah...The only person that could really explain this crap is a optical engineer or scientist....And then we probably wouldn't be able to understand it....I'm just gonna keep going with the CFLs and if I get popcorn buds whatever. One thing is for sure: CFLs are excellent for vegetative stage of growth. These plants grew like crazy, with a new set of leaves coming out every 12 to 24 hours. And the plants are very compact. Does anybody have and idea what strain these might be...to early to tell right. I would say they definitely leaning towards indica.

Yeah you saw right. The top of the hood gets pretty warm, but the temp around the plants is only around 80F. Thanks JonnyB

I got them at Grow Lights, Grow Bulbs and Hydroponics - Plantlighting Hydroponics & Grow Lights they are the 360 degree micro sprayers
They kinda spray a cone but it seems to work pretty good. The plants are way to
big they are growing like crazy now that their in flower. I'm moving them into a
new grow area tonight because they are touching the lights at their highest position
Since they will be in a very hot place now (at least 100F), I have come up with a setup
to cool the rez. I will run a 25 foot cool of copper tubing into the rez, and hook it
to the cold water pipe in my place with vinyl tubing. Future plans include a thermocouple
and some kind of control loop so that I don't waste water, but don't need to look after it
non-stop either.

Question if I were to just eat like a fistful size clump of leaves from a female plant would
I feel anything. I did try it with the pruning from the plant that I think is a male and
felt nothing at all. BTW it doesn't taste all that bad a bit like spinach. lol

New pix coming soon.

Definatly dont eat any leaves man. That shit would taste horrible. I treid eating a small piece of good weed a long time ago and it tasted like shit. Stays in your mouth for a while. Not worth it man definatly not worth it.

Make some brownies or some hash. Brownies are easy, just simmer the buds grinded up in some butter for 45 mins or so. Then strain and make the brownies. They will get you HIGH.

How much gph is the motor you have on those? You have 3 sprayers on the pump?

I have technaflora for nutes. You think that stuff will clog those sprayers.

Sorry for the question but almost done with grow and was goin to do dwc cause no motor, but i been debating on aero or hydro for like a month.

ive got people wanting to rep me every day,and ive only been growing with a 60 watt incandecent.mind you i did do that grow with the archaeologist seeds that gave 18 pounds from one light,those were the seeds found in ancient pottery from the time when the biblical giant lived.but i gave them organic matter that was found in the tar sands from thousand years ago,thats why ive probably got all those rep blocks,but sorry monkey for screwing up your thread good luck and happy growing.
