Yes soil, gets nutes every other watering, (and when it does get nutes it gets 1/2 the recomended dose), Gets watered about every 5-7 days, I dont think flushing is the answer. perhaps water less, and add some sodium carbonate the next time they are watered? No ph testing has been done, its...

Middle of the leaf is green, edges are yellow, some are brown and dead. Other leaves have same issue except the yellowing doesnt go so far in, its just the edges and they are almost orange, some burnt. Also several "healthy" leaves curl down. CFLS - Enough (dont need to get too technical)...

When lights are on, the temp is stable, because of the heat they give off... But if someone were having serious problems maintaing a warm temp when the lights were off, and a heater was taking too much power and causng the fuse to blow. Would an infrared bulb interfer with the light...

The pictures would help huh ....

Pictures from today, hopefully pictures of the progression of the plants deteriorating help will help narrow down the cause... also THEY HAVE NOT been watered since last pictures.. Please anymore help would be awesome. ASO forgot to add pics in this reply, I just replied again with newer...

More Pics.... The small green bushy one... is turning yellow in the middle of the leaves now.. almost like a stain... Swim will see if foaf can get some more pics tommorrow.. maybe pics of the progression will help narrow down the problem...

Swimmers friend gave him 2 clones which did not look healthy when swim recieved them, however he was informed they had spider mites which were taken care of.... Swim noticed the plants started to look better, untill recently... the clones plus swims original girls are taking a turn for the...

So its like a converter kind of? ... wow I always thought you had to wire them directly... damn, do they sell the ballast at a lowes ? or an Ace/TrueValue hardware store? I asked about HPS a couple times and was always told you had to wire it directly so i never really looked into it more. :wall:

I smoke about 20 grams per week... 2 oz per plant will be fine. maybe i should try for 4-5 plants since i know i wont be doing everything right, its my first real grow.

Ill germ like 6 of them, so 1-4 females? .. and then use the SCROG technique ... around 300 actual watts, grown in soil, as for nutes.. i have no real experience so im just gonna wing it with whatever looks right to me at the garden store.

Lol 3 posts in 1 thread in less than 5 minutes.. i see how people get 1000+ posts now lol... (just poking fun at you in a joking way... laugh cuz it is funny), just saying consolidate it makes it easier to get all the info at once. Also.. since u seem to be experienced with cfls... is 6 ounces...

Thanks for your input ... you seem to have already walked the path i am trying to go ... CFL first for simplicity and experience. then the upgrade... My grow space runs about 50 degrees all day steady, so i was hoping for some heat from the lights, i also have a heater im going to set up on...

Dont you have to wire those lights directly into the fuse box? this is not an option where i am ... I have 12, 6500k bulbs.. and 12, 2700k bulbs ... think i could do like all the 2700s, and 6 of the 6500s during flowering ? so 12 bulbs for veg, and 18 for flowering. do cfls just totally...

Im going to be running about 35 watts per square foot... think this will be fine? I have approx 12, 27 watt cfls... i dont think ill be growin in the ENTIRE area... but the "Room" the plants will be in happens to be 9 quare feet ... I want to try some kind of scrog method, i assume ill only...

Dont try to judge what I do and do not know .... Seriously a micro grow box has to be the most bare bones way to grow ever, yes im sure there is an art to it, but dont front like youre the mad scientist over there.... I didnt even flame you to begin with, i said clever idea, but its not...

Im keeping my current bulbs but going to change the fixture I made,,, im starting to germinate seeds tommorrow, will show pics in about a week if i remember, im hoping to start a log, ill start a new thread if so.

seriously? 5000 is wrong? and not useable? ive seen "5000k" like a hundred times, i could have sworn it was right ... I got 2700k for flowering.... are you saying 2700 is useless... and 5000k is for flowering?

is the room a bedroom? do you have a tv/computer in there? I seriously doubt your bulbs are raising your entire room temp that high, has to be another factor... do you have the heat on? do your neighbors? are you in the attic? have you tried leaving the window cracked?

So you dont think its worth adding 4 of the 2700k cfls i have in addition the the 8, 5000k cfls already in there? its overkill? or the 2700ks will fuck with it? I just thought more light meant better.. bah im still confused,

Attached is a picture of a light i put together,The light fixture is about 3.5-4.0 feet wide, and uhmm maybe just over 5 feet in length. It currently has Eight 27 watt cfls, 5000k ... is this enough? I have Eight more 27 watt cfls rated at 2700k... can I put 4 of those in the current box (i...
