Some friendly advice, don't stop using your cfls. That 600w HID your using, uhmmm, your going to have to vent the heat and keep your gals kool, that might be a problem if you are growing in a tight space. That is why I use CFLs. I believe that more lumens will always outway more wattage. Don't...

Good luck with the flowering stage, keep your eye on your trichomes and pistils in 4-5 weeks. Also when your colas start to ripen, your gonna get some good smell from your plants. Flowering stage is the most exciting stage of the grow, except for the harvest IMO Stay kool

Hey Undertoker, Hope your grow is comin along. If ya get chance take a look at my journal, tell me what you think. Take Care

The CFLs for vegetation growth are Sunlite-Daylite 85watt/350watt, 6500k, 4200 lumen, for flowering, Sunlite-Warm White 105watt/400watt, 3000k, 5000 lumens. I bought them from Express Light Bulb, about $25-$30 each. I started out w/ 6 vegetation lights, then got 8 of the flowering lights. During...

When doing my research on lights, I could have went w/ MH and HPS, but that meant an exhaust system. The closet I am using is directly under a stair case, other option was CFLs, which did not need an exhaust system. I got my CFLs from Express Light Bulbs via internet. They were not cheap. The...

You got a nice grow going there. What kind of lumens do you get from that style of cfl? What strain are u growin? Take care, good luck

HookdOnChronics, you surely can grow nice lookin bud. I just harvested all of my plants, Sunday 7-11-10. I harvested 5 colas 2 weeks ago because they were showing alot of amber. Out of those 5 colas, I got alittle over an ounce and a half. Haven't figure out how to read my digital scale LOL...

awesome grow, can't wait for my harvest to dry. Man you are the man

On my next grow, I am thinking about hanging a few small banks of T-5s on the 3 walls of my grow room w/ my cfls. This way the plants are completely covered w/lights

Hey Undertoker, Hows your grow doing? I harvested the rest of my plants today, plus the underbud from the other harvest a couple weeks ago. Almost done w/my journal, plan to post it after I trim and photo my dried bud. The first colas I harvested a couple weeks yield a solid ounce, slightly...

Hey TitoM, Hows your grow doing? I harvested the rest of my plants today, plus the underbud from the other harvest a couple weeks ago. Almost done w/my journal, plan to post it after I trim and photo my dried bud. The first colas I harvested a couple weeks yield a solid ounce, slightly over...

Hey bro You asked how many gals in that photo, 6 total. My grow system is an aero-hydro w/CFLs. Strains I germinated were White Widow, Carnivel, Big Bud, and Kandahar. It's been 19 weeks from seed, harvested several colas 10 days ago, and today is my first taste, still have alot to cut when the...

I'm sure experienced growers know that once in awhile you can grow a dominate plant. With my first grow coming to a close, I have one of those dominating plants. I call her Big Bertha. Somehow she is so dominate, she killed off her neighbor plant, which is rooted in another growbox, no less. I...

Hey Undertoker, I harvested 4-5 colas last week, but I still have bud to harvest, but their not turning amber yet. I check each one of them everyday and I have 50% clear, 50% cloudy. Is it possible they will not turn amber?

I'm getting close to rapping up my first grow. I made an aero-hydro grow system, using 2 airstones in my solution tote. 2 other totes were my grow boxes, 4 plants/ box. I used 10 CFLs w/clamp fixtures. Before my next set-up, I want to clean everything up first, but can air stones be cleaned...

Hey zorr, nice start. Glad to see another CFL grower. Tried growing in soil 5-6 years back, was not very successful. When I started my 1st Aero-Hydro grow this past spring, I also use 10 CFLs, I kept mine burning 24 hrs /day from seedling to vegetation stage. Then during the flowering stage for...

Uhmmm? I use the larger cfls for my grow. I started out with four "Sunlite" Daylite 85watt/350watt, 6500k, 4200 lumens from seedling to 9 weeks of vegetation. Then I purchased four additional "Sunlite" Warm White 105watt/400watt, 3000k, 5000 lumen and four "Sunlite" Softwhite 65watt/300watt...

Hey The Undertoker That hand held microscope I got is slick. It has a 60x to 100x power and focus. Today I found 3 of my ladies were just coverd w/ 60%-70% cloudy and about 20% ambor trichomes. My other gals are turning cloudy very fast, so I will be doing my harvest today and perhaps again this...

darkdestruction420, if you are asking me how deep my totes are, about 30 inches, or a bit less, but deep. At 17 weeks, four plants w/ roots weigh about 20#-30# or more. My next grow I am using a less depth tote box or tubing. Cuz my closet is short, I need more space during the flowering stage...

From seed to 17 weeks, been flowering 8 of those 17 weeks. Veg was 9 weeks. Strain White Widow, Carnivil, Big Bud, and Kandahar. 10 CFLs in total w/clamp fixtures, 2 CFLs are 85watt/250watt, 6500k, 4000 lumen, the other 8 are 105 watt/300 watt, 3000k, 4500 lumens in an area of 3' x 4'x 9', or 12...
