Well peeps of RIU ,I missed yesterdays pics didn't get the chance to get up into the attic,as always heres some pics
On another note I got myself some more lights only two 25w 2700k CFL .I have some pics of them 12.50 each, I dropped 1 in the shop and it broke so i swapped it as you do and when I got home I wired up the lights onto 1 plug and only 1 of the fuckers work so i will have to change it tomorrow but that will be another 50w of light

I made one of the beer can reflectors that I seen on the DIY threads,not bad for my first attempt but they don,t really suit the type of bulb it is .I'll get 2 of the spirals but they only come as high as 20w,would it be worth it does anybody know ?

hey lucky,any extra light you can get will be worth it,i just wish you'd order a couple of 42 watters online tho,that way you'll have peace of mind knowing that your grow is gonna be everything you'd want it to be with out feeling disappointment over what it might be...im running a shit ton of lights my dude,ALL ordered online

yeah man,that way you avoid disappointment,my very first grow i used only cfls,got a good amount but with all the stuff ive learned since then this time i KNOW im getting a better yield because i bought a 150 watt hps to go along with all my cfls

how do you control the heat nikk,any pics of your set up
how much does the electricity cost you for a grow, roughly

 

[luckydog82]

Put the new bulbs with the plants,I have to move the setup and move things around to position the lights better than what way i have them,and i have some cardboard that i'm going to use to close in the attic around the grow ,might help me to get away with it for a while longer.I starting to notice the smell when i get close to the plants mmm mmmm
well tell me what you think of the girls

 

[del66666]

the girls are looking good, really short and bushy ,those enviros always do a great job at veg, i use them and a couple of 70 watt hps. hats off to you if you get away with your secret grow. always a hassle in lofts though when the temps drop.

Yeah thats one of my main worries on a cold night the attic can get very cold and i have the lights off at night but my mother is always cold and normally has the heating on so maybe the attic might stay that little bit warmer.Do you know whats the lowest the temps can drop to and not harm the plants.

 

[del66666]

i reckon if you go below 65 ish it could start stunting growth or mess with flowering, problem is most houses are insulated to stop heat being lost to the attic.also different strains can cope with different temps.

Well all i can do then is hope winter doesn't come too early lol

 

[del66666]

i had to use a fan heater, total frigging pain, got them in main house now so no probs, wonder if heat mats would help.

Well i hope it doesn't get cold bcos i ain't putting a heater up there, its actually over my parents bedroom and i just about get away with the sound of the fan running .
