the pots are 6 inches wide and 6 inched deep (however there is only about 4 inches of soil)
plants are about 2 inches high and 4 inches across the fan leaves
they are growing so fast, i can already see some undergrowth on two of the bottom sets of fan leaves
thanks for the response guys
i agree with OregonMeds, hps light is hps light, i have worked with these ballasts before and besides efficiency there isnt much difference in ballast quality, some really high priced ones have heavy duty windings but they take more power
and homegrwn to tell the...
here are the pics from today
im going to stop posting daily pics here cuz i started my grow journal in the Grow Journals forum, check it out https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/139458-first-grow-under-96-watt.html
here are 2 snaps from today
they are looking good, i was a bit worried yesterday as the leaves jumped up quite a bit after watering but there good now...
what do you guys think??
first 2 pix from 7th
next 2 from 8th
next 2 from 9th
last pic is of growbox setup, forgot to put that up beforehand and as you can see there is a small fan blowing into my box to keep circulation and air moving across the plants (hear it makes em stronger)
Edit: for flowering im using a 250 hps
I started off with a few problems and posted in the plant problems forum and then posted in the indoor growing forum but seeing as im a member here and seeing as this is the appropriate forum in going to start a grow journal here.
I really want to hear...
you can get brand name hps and mh bulbs from outdoor hid lighting companies and they are arround 30 bux a buld, i know they will never equal up to a sunmaster bulb or any specialty bulb but honestly for a budget personal grow i dont think there is much of a diff between a 30 dollar bulb and a...
the fact is that a 5.75 bulb is probly the equivalent of a dollarama cfl, you can get them for a fukn dollar as opposed to arround 8-12 bux a pice but it wont last as long or come with any guarantee, but it still worx
the main problem is that anything labled to be used for grrowing is...
that looks like a great deal, ballast and bulb for 20 bux, i cant complain, ill go to my hydro store and get a reflector for 30 bux, i can have a 150 watt hps system for 50 bux :D
just want to ask, do you know if they ship to canada??
i was just taking a look @ your grow, nice looking plants you got there, it must have been frustrating dealing with getting all your males and hermies first eh? lol
thanks for the replies, its my first grow and im a bit 2 edgy....lol, gonna smoke a splif
im only concerned cuz earlier in the day the leafs where actually fanned out like all the others and they just started crimping up like that about 4 hours ago after i watered
thanks for the reply
here are the pics, i circled in red the leafs the change is really visible on
earlier today they where all fine, now this, is this normal, over water, over nute
common guys, lots of view but not many replies
hey guys, i watered my babes about 2 hours ago and the leafs kinda lifted up, they went from just hanging there chillin like usual and i noticed now that the leaf is almost completely straight and the whole leaf is pointing upwards soon
ill take a pic once my cameras batery is charged
im in canada and home depot does not carry their 150 watt or 250 watt HPS outdoor floodlights or any HID wallpacks that they carry in the states
does anyone know where i could get a cheap 70-250 watt hps light in canada
here are some more pics, im watering them today cuz its been 3 days and the...
while you can get the same lumens and the right spectrum it is hard to grow a big bushy plant with leds as they have limited depth penetration, leds ar good for growing many small little plants, HID is the best to get big bushy buds
here are the pics i promised, i circled the browning leaf and the 2 spots i was speaking of, any ideas or thoughts (the browning is ever so slowly spreading back, you can see this if you look back a few sets of pics)
other than that i think they are doing pretty good
please share any advice...
not trying to take over here but it seems you know what your talking about and i tried asking this question b4.
i have heard when switching from 24/0 to 18/6 there was a growth spurt that the plants experienced, you are saying switching is stressfull, whats you oppinion about that and what...
