The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[Kratose]

You'll find there's been a migration of sorts from RIU to a couple of sites. Most of the RiddleMe Crowd has gone to his new site. I love the information available and its a mature crowd. Not a lot of young people doing crazy shit and making pointless threads, you know what I mean. I dont care much for the operating system but its workable, just takes some getting use too. The latest site thats been bantered about the board is GrowersBook, I like this site eventhough its a bit commercial I like the look and the articles are short, sweet, and right to the point! Just what a pot head loves, Hit It, Git It, & Quit It, It's my motto, at least, haha. Glade to see you've recovered and getting geared up. PM me if you have any questions and check out the other sites. If your like me you'll join them all and enjoy them all!

Hey thanks for the reply. I am going to send you a PM because I do have a question and I heard talking about it here can get you banned now. Not sure whats up with that. Yeah this site is awesome. There was another site back a few years ago that people would go to but I just kept to this one. Lots of RUI members were also members of that other site.

Thanks again for the reply, and if you have facebook you should like my blog on facebook. You can find my blog here: http://Cannabis-Country.blogspot.com And my Facebook page for the blog here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cannabis-Country/336392633041747?sk=wall

I just started the blog about a week ago, Of course its related to Cannabis. But I don't have any followers yet. I also just made the Facebook page yesterday and don't have any Likes yet. If any of you guys here have a facebook I would appreciate a like. It would help me out because I am sure you have some stoners on your Facebook page that most likely would be interested in a blog like mine.

I am also currently accepting pictures for my next buds of the week segment. If you go to my blog you can see where to send the pics. And if you do just make sure to give some detail about the strain in the pic. And if you don't know what strain it is just give any detail you do know like length of flowering time ect.

Thanks Everyone!

i love to see yours pictures

My pictures? I was asking for submissions of others pictures for the buds of the week segment on my blog. But if you are saying you would love to see my pictures I have a few I could show. Also have a few video's up on youtube. Not sure you are talking to me so I wont go and post them.

But anyways whats up everyone? Where's the support? No Likes on facebook. I have had plenty of good feedback about the blog from some of you but no FB Likes. I am sure some of you have a facebook no?
See my above post for links to my blog and Blog Facebook page. Also have the link to my blog below in my Sig

I don't have a Facebook account but if I did I probably wouldn't want to link my personal information to a cannabis page...

Cool blog though.

^^^^^

Exactly....let's get back on topic here!

 

[mamagrowsbest]

been readin thinkin and smokin on this subject...you guys have convinced me to change my whole approach. thanks -.-

sos now i got questions...

last yr i bought 2 - 85w (actual) 6500k and 2 - 85w 2700k cfl bulbs and used them all to veg/flower 6 plants in perlite (not quite hydro) but i've been using it for years. ended up with about a 1/2 lb dry wt. i was happy...it's all personal.

i've always believed more light the better...so here's my question: should i lose the 2700 bulbs for 12/12 fs or can i still use them for additional light?

thanks

 

[mantiszn]

Lose all the bulbs and buy yourself an hps

and u know what really sux...i bought them because i thought there would be less heat than hps. i still had problems with temps in my closet during the summer. hmmmm what to do

 

[curly604]

Led! Led! Led!

 

[Bluejeans]

Okay... I've waited patiently but now I gotta ask. What happened with the contest?

 

[mamagrowsbest]

just not too confident with led...r they bright enough to get thick buds? what about T5s? gawd now i got to do some more research.....where's my bowl 0.0

fear not, results will be announced in next few days, swamped with pics lol.............

 

[BigBudzzzz]

Ok before you get to deep into research and burn up a bunch a weed and brain cells (Total Bullshit, but thats a diff subject), let me help you. I grew two crops with cfls and had heat problems from the start. Fortunately my first grow maturted in March and I was successfull but then summer hit and all hell broke loose. I bought fans and ducted the heat to the attic bec i had attic access in that closet. Still the heat was too much, then I forked over some doe and bought a Can Fan / 155cfm and still delt with temps around mid to upper 80's. Long story short if I had just purchased a 150watt hps and the Can Fan from the start, I would have saved myself a whole lot of money, time planning (although it was a learning exp.) and most of all my crops wouldnt have suffered like they did. My 2nd and 3rd crop was nothing but a struggle and my yield reflected it. I finally moved to the basement and purchase a 400watt hps, vented properly, and now Im struggling to keep it warm which is a whole lot easier than cooling shit off.

Dude, Long story short, if you can, either make the switch to HPS or T5's but just know that either way your going to have to deal with heat and if you have to deal with it you may as well get good results in the process, right? No need in and ending up because you didnt do what you needed to do from the start. Although I understand you can only do what you can do and thats understandable, I been there also.

Good luck, be careful and no matter what, keep growing!

[mamagrowsbest]

my closet is 3x4.....400 hps too much?

Cool blog though.

Sorry I am not that farmilar with facebook so I don't know how it works. Didn't think you would have to link any personal info if you hit the like cannabis country on facebook button. I thought it would just show that you liked the blog. And others would see that you liked cannabis country therfor getting more exposure to my blog. I am glad you liked the blog.

So for real? If anyone likes my blog it links there personal info to my page? WTF?

I just made a facebook page like 2 days ago so I know nothing about it. Never wanted a facebook but I heard its good for exposure.

 

[Kratose]

Totally agree, when you switch over to HPS its like a whole new world. Then you will be growing with power lol

Well for me, it's like this... my facebook page is primarily populated by my family members, none of whom know of my weed interest. I keep all of that separate from my extended family. Household members are aware, obviously, but the rest of the fam is in the dark...
