Was a cracking race today. Not sure if you know the results so wont give it away, but it was a good one for sure. Should be a good season, not a yawn like last year.

mr west, jig, hello :eyesmoke:
so i say to mrs sunnyboy, we can save the cheese! mr west says we just need to veg to the size of the washing machine. she looked at me and said that thing won't live the year it will take to get to the size of a washing machine LOL and she has a good point. these suckers are slow growers under 400w cfl 70ish~80ish degrees f and 40-60% rh. i use 12-8-8 full strength and 30-10-10 at half strength. any suggestion on how to kick these girls into gear?

A bigger light. a 400 watt cfl is only actually about 60-105 watts. the 400w is an equivalent. a 250w mh would do you great the light spread and penetration of cfl's would not get you anything the size of a washer maybe as tall but not wide and full. Also the color of the bulb may be helping the issue.

hey tryn, that is the actual wattage, i used 400 watt each of the 2700 and 6500k before going to the 600hps hundred for flower. i could add the other 400 to them i guess.

What are you feeding them Sunnyboy? You could always try uppping that? Either that or yuou just have a slow growing pheno? 400cfl sounds good enough for a cheese plant to veg...

Morning lads, er yeah. Ive been up for hours lol. The sun is very bright today. I veg my plants under 250whps lol but it does get warm in there 80 easy most the day. Ive found that clones do take an age to get to a decent size, cheese grows like a vine and need constant topping and supporting.
