imma try 24/0 im on 18/6 atm slowing transvert mine over. yours look awesome...

although the fluros cant burn ur plant so you could go closer then they are with no problem

2'' and they growinto them is no problem

there about a inch or inch 1/2 above the plants it just looks a little higher cause the lights are held way way up on a cross member out of my way so i could snap that picture of them...but ya there working out pretty good...im very happy with them so far!!!!

i wouldn't reccomend 24/0 for veg just cuz it seems like they should get a natural light cycle, but does it increce your yeilds?

well alot of people are 50/50 on the 24/0 veg but bro let me tell you this things since the last pictures ive take have just exploded for some reason im tellin u there growin like an extra leaf every day or so!!! ill try and get some more pictures of all teh sexy ladies and show u....i love the 24/0 cycle kinda speeds it up in my eyes...its about to go on 12/12 in two weeks so well see!

12/12 is when they really take off growing inch a day at some rates...

i plan to stick with 24/0 for about a week then go to 18/6 then to 12/12 after a week of 18/6

can't wait to see them take off

im thinkin six weeks give or take a few days...wish i would have kept a log or something for everyday so i knew but oh well ill do that next time!

 

[alp2420]

little update...its ben raining here for like 3 days so i went and checked on the girls in the shed and they were nice and toasty warm in there! opened the box up and what did i see fly out a few black little bugs...do iknow what the fuck they are?..hell no, but maybe someone else does? but damn there starting to grow like crazy about a 1/2 inch verticaly and a new node and leaves about every 3 days. its crazy to see how they grow but there so beautiful i love them. anyways theres the update ill take a few pictures this afternoon durring there feeding.

happy smoking this J is for u!

little black bugs? like Gnats?

Ya i only do 24/0 for veg, i have tried 18/6 etc but 24/0 seems to give me the best results for veg'n. I think mostly some people do 18/6 out of necessity.

 

[LimitedTimer]

i dunno how you could go about dealing with bugs outside in a box thats not really sealed...

i'd say they were there for the light personally more so then the plants

 

[alp2420]

so far im loving the 24/0 lighting....the only thing im kinda bummed about is that my buddy took a few bag seed and threw it in a planter box in his back yard and his plants have for sure surpassed mine and he is like 3 weeks behind me!! i was like WTF?

ya i think is gnats to be honest but there not F'in with the plants ive been checkin them every morning and night now and there is no damage to the leaves..the only thing i see is like little pale spots on the leaves bout the size of mechanical pencil lead so there not very big at all. anyways ill get some pics of these ladies tonight and post up.

outdoor plants always grow bigger, much more light (than your 2 floros) and perfect life/lightcycles

a buddy showed up with a plant he needed to get rid of and i put it in a plant pot and set it on the patio and the ones in the shed/box are doing much better then the one getting natural sun. anyways here are some more pics of the ones in the shed..........

hey thanks for dropin in! there looking pretty sexy right now. and with that being said im letting everyone know that im going to be putting these sexy ladies on 12/12 tonight! i want to see what they can do!

other then that they have just been growing little by little every day, been just watering them every 3 days and then raising the light usualy one link in the chain every other day. but they are looking pretty healthy. the only thing im worried about is smell control when there flowering!

 

[alp2420]
