Yeah so lumens aren't really a good measurement of how good a light is at growing. We already knew that and that was a nice little read Jimmyc. That article however doesn't really address whether or not light adds. Even though we are talking about lumens adding the same thing seems to apply...

Lumens don't add. The reason the t-5 setups your looking at say 20,000 lumens at 5,000 lumens per bulb is because the 5,000 lumens is spread out over a larger area. If you took those four bulbs and put them next to each other it wouldn't make the area directly below any brighter. Multiple bulbs...

Where you mount the fan doesnt really matter. Mount it wherever it is convenient and allows you to minimize the bends in the ducting. To figure out whether the fan is enough you need to figure out how many cubic feet your grow area is. Then how many cubic feet of air the fan moves per minute...

Good info. I figure I'll throw in my two cents as well. I agree with everything he said except for one thing. I prefer to throw my buds into the jars fairly quick. I only let them dry for about 3 days usually. When I let my buds dry out for a week they end up a little to dry and don't seem to...

I keep my mothers in 5 gallon buckets filled with granulated rockwool, under t5's. With regular trimming it's pretty easy to keep them small. If you just cut off all the main growth ends about once a week you will end up with a little bush that will allow you to harvest tons of clones when...

That's cool. I know playing in pipe bands can be a pain in the ass. I've also dabbled with a bit of tin whistle, accordion, various woodwinds, and messed around on a practice chanter a few times. I think pipe bands actually keep me sane. They break up the monotony of daily life. Like I'm...

I've been drumming for about 15 years now. I also play guitar a little bit but have never really gotten to into it. I've played in a few bands and written a few songs. I like pretty much all types of music. Currently I'm only playing in a Scottish style pipe band. It's not exactly rock star...

Use a card board box.

Yeah try not to let the clones dry out completely. Water them with some actual nutes. They are probably yellowing from nute deficiencies. Keep the cubes moist and water the bottom like you are doing they should be fine. Stop with the clonex misting though. If you're going to mist use plain water.

Your clones don't look too bad. Just make sure to let the rock wool dry out a bit so the roots have to grow to look for water. This is the reason why you shouldn't foliar feed a lot as well. If the plant gets everything it needs from the leaves it wont work as hard to grow roots. I'm not sure...

You should never squeeze rock wool cubes. Sounds to me like you are not giving them enough air and they may not have enough air in the cubes. You should open the vents on the top of the hood and leave them that way at all times. If the plants begin to wilt then close them over a little. Also...

You should plant them as soon as you see the root emerging.

Yeah I disagree with the title as well. Cfl's might not be as good for growing but in some situations they are definitely a better choice and very good if you're just starting.

I will direct you here so this doesn't go on for 10 pages. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/173913-why-do-cfls-suck-9.html#post2249036

You need to seriously increase the nitrogen. You can try slowly upping the amount of the the nute you are using but I would recommend getting something a little stronger. I have that same issue with my mothers because they get huge and I don't always up the nutrients I give them so the old...

Actually cramming lights together is just wasteful and not very cost effective. When positioning cfl's move the lights around the plant to provide maximum lighting to as much of the plant as possible. Putting two cfls next to each other does not make the light brighter. Only put them close...

You're waisting a lot of light. You shouldn;t have the bulbs right next to each other like that. if you spread them around the plant more you would be using the light more efficiently and you could probably eliminate some of the bulbs all together until the plant gets bigger. Not knocking you...

How are you standing up for the Constitution?

Just because someone shot out a kid who then happened to shoot out there own kid doesn't make them special in any way. If she was a bitch before then now she's just a bitch with some grand kids. I would be pretty pissed if this happened to me. I wouldn't mind helping out but empty threats/lies...

I agree with everything you said except the part about it being complicated. If you know how to read it isn't the slightest bit complicated. If you follow there direction exactly you will get good results. If you suck at measuring you will still get good results unless your ridiculously far off...
