I'm using a 2' x 4' area and I have had as many as 33 plants up to 12'' under it at one time.
What I'm finding available stateside in a 2' unit are a 2 bulb for $72 and a 4 bulb for $109.


I'm using a 400w mh for the big veg.

:peace:

Bloody hell mate... That's a monster journal!! I've spent 2 days, on and off, reading it all... It's great and very informative! Loved going through your grows as I am on my 1st! Some of the things I found in here I already came across and others I know I will in the future! You might have prevented me from doing many common mistakes along the way!! I'm subbed and curious to keep following your work. It's inspiring... +rep for you bruv Thanks for taking the time and putting the effort to spread the knowledge.

i have been thinking about grabbin sum T5's as well. this veg box with CFL's on top is just not cutting it anymore. =/ too crowded.. i may get an adjustable shelf unit... and attatch the lights to it and move them up and down as needed and spread the plants out a bit. i think my plants would benefit greatly from sumthing llike that.

heyy DON heres teh Cherry Cheese x Livers. =) still a lil small. but looks promising. =) adn still havent found out the origin of the cheese clone i have.. i have to go thru like 2 or 3 ppl to be able to talk to him. lol. anywayz. heres sum pics.

It takes 6 weeks to go from seed to 12" plants if the conditions are right. There were 10 different strains in that pic and the plants grew fairly uniformly....of course the bigger ones have proven to be boys.

hahahah man the livers is a mystery, some say its an old northern lights pheno ( leading theory) but no one knows for sure. it gets called blues as it takes on a blue hue. but the guy who found the pheno named it after himself. liversage, became livers. nothing blueberry about it.

all i know is it's dank!

I have a breeding program going on at this time. There is a beautiful cheese/jake blues male that I've bred to a heri lady and there are some surprises in the works (6 different males)....might even have something for Breeders Boutique.
The only problem is that the males are in a room with a cat and he has taken an interest in eating leaves. They currently are in a wire cage for protection.

Well... who can blame the cat for wanting a piece of that weed? You are lucky he doesn't know that the girls in the other room taste much better... lol cause he would find a way to get to them!!! Cunny little devils they are!!!:fire:
+rep for you mate.... not for the cat!!! for the interesting breeding! any pics of them surprising males?
