First Grow, Using CFL's

[BlackRoses]

Those look like burns to me.. but not nutrient burn or anything, just ordinary light burn..
Make sure the CFL's are a couple of inches from the leaves..
Nicely done on the LST bro,
Are you growing completely with CFL?

 

[tkjoe]

AHHH i bet its from when i sprayed water!!! i didnt even think of that!!! Thanks, i still have another side to do on my LST! i have 4 or 5 tops fighting for top spot right now. im really impressed with my first LST! im gonna go for 7 cola's.

Ya i am going to do the whole thing on CFL's and see what i get. when i get some Green house seeds, i might switch to Metal Halides and HPS. only problem is i only have access to 150w HPS bulbs and 400w MH bulbs. although i should check the other store in town that might carry them. thats all i can seem to find. So for now CFL is my only resource. do you find that the top leafs being really light in colour is odd?

 

[tkjoe]

the CFL's are 2-3 inches above as always

 

[tkjoe]

Thats some expensive set up you have there...lol Your plant looks like its doing well!! Im just starting here myself but im investing some money into it at the beginning so that way there i can try to get a good crop going!! Good luck on the final product!!

I look fowards to seeing your grow! the more pizza i eat the bigger my box gets LMAO.

im considering going to and buying some wood today to make it a non building project haha

Your top leaves look fine.. those are new grows and should be lighter in color.. don't worry.. but good that you worry.. shows care towards your plants
And great that you're going to start on those haze's.. tough to grow if it's your first time, so make sure you don't pick Arjan's Ultra Haze #1 or even White Rhino for the first time.. Super Silver Haze is one of the best weed in the world, but it grows too tall.. The rest I don't really care for.. and White Widow is a hybrid.. so please let me know when you order the seeds..

i am just going to pick them up at a seed bank at the start of October, but i wont start them until this one is done. Im gong to see this one through til the end. im going to be gone for 5 days, so i hope my baby is alright it should be about 3 weeks into flowering when i leave

 

[tkjoe]

ive always wanted SSH. im hoping that maybe the seed bank im going to will have the Mix haze packs

 

[tkjoe]

the one i really want is either SUPER LEMON SKUNK, or Strawberry haze. i will have some help from a very very experienced grower as of October my dad is an amazing gardener, and used to have some plants over 8 Feet in his basement haha!

ok so i constructed a new box. its looking very similar to another friend of mine on here accept i made a door on mine. , im just finishing up with the final touchs. then when lights out come tonight at midnight, im going to move my plant into a closet while i set up the lights.

I could only find a 150w HPS bulb today, but they didnt sell any HPS ballasts by themselves. they did sell a combo pack ballast and bulb but the ballast had this very gay arched attachment for a garage light. LMAE!!
im going to have to try the industrial district. i went to the nursery today, and they didnt have much for organics wither. how ever i did pick up some Alaska Fish fertilizer. 5-1-1. so i am going to start this while i have a friend bring me some A.N next week.

cant wait to get some new picture up for saturday, on my 1 month birthday of my little girl haha

good choice with building a grow box your gonna want that when you go to 12/12, because you don't want any light coming in when the lights off. good luck man

looks like a fire hazard LOL...........Dry ice gives off C02 no matter where you get it from bottle or ice. You may want to think about a grow tent you may get better climate control and they are reflective inside and insulated. I see your budget is tight so you may want to get a used refrigerator line it with reflective mylar or mirror and foil. But the tent is about 150. there about on the net. Clean and also hides heat signature.

makes you kinda feel like macgiver!! haha everytime id eat a HUGE pizza, id add to the box. but i figured i was letting out way to many Lumens, and id spend as much money on tape and pizza just to make the box bigger, so i went and spend 20$ on sheet of 8'x4,x1/4" white hardboard.

do you have a journal?

 

[DaCDaC]

Ahhh! Pics TK Pics!!! The box is a must see!!! : )
