Hey Old Goat thank you for your kind words, really appreciateSay Trisafe, Thanks for the rep.
You have a great following here too. Too many grows turn into BS and too much praise while trying to ride somebodies coattails and not enough good info. I thankfully I don't see that here. Thanks to all that contribute here too.
I'm now 67 years old and no longer growing for fun as I did in the 70's and 80's it's now for Med's. But as I see why not have fun too.
You may have converted me to CFL although I've 400 & 430 HPS already in the grow area.
There is a very good link to LST that I'll give a shot no matter the lighting system. I've 5 ' of height to work with. any way the link is

Now to a question or clarification from your valued thoughts. I've found some TCP (brand name) 300 watt equivalent using 68 watt with 4200 Lumen's with 27K spectrum. They are standard base & dimension 9.5 L / 4.1 D the ballast is too big for a reflector also. At $20.00 it seems a good deal or is it a waste? But using your formula it seems to fit adding a couple blue for the final stage. Three of those vs 830 HPS & heat?
Thank You all for making this one fun and I'll stick around until the lights go out..
thanks m8 I really hope for that I'm already flushing so the countdown is starting for my first grow, can't wait! c ya bronice pics trifase, very enjoyable to look at all the side views
looking like 1 oz+ to me on the big bagseed, maybe a fair amount more if she goes a couple more weeks
well thank you my friend & I agree it's (also) about the fun of doin' it your way in every compartment, and sharing is part of the fun either!thanks for posting this trifase, I have been trying to find a perfect medium between yeild and low wattage, your article helps with ideas. For the good of the community you MUST let us know how much you yeild. Also great job with the enginuity of building your own devices. I see these cabinets,tents,etc on the internet and the prices make me laugh. A little creativity saves a lot of cash, and of coarse it's great to share your ideas so someone else may benefit.
thanks bro!!!Looks good bro
thank you chainseeker I saw you cab and liked it very much, two 70s is interesting and not so common! I don't see any problems in not vegging but we'll see - hope you're wrong about low yeld!Hey nice job bro! I have a similar cab with low wattage my only prob is I didn't hardly veg at all. I also only used half my cab's height but i'm doin a scrog. My next grow I would like to do a lst and scrog with about the same setup just to compare. If I woulda vegged properly we coulda compared except ur way ahead of me. I'm expecting a low yield oh well live and learn. Looking 4ward to ur big chop keep us posted.
a couple weeks I hope grams are hard to tell but I hope it'll be in that area!!!Im a bit late but nice plants man, 2-3 weeks untill you chop the bagseed is it? Im guessing 25-30 grams.
eheheh thanks for your thoughts happy WW worked so good for you. I've tried it in the past when it was legal to buy grass in a small, neutral country... so it's been some years and I can't say I remember it really - well I will be able to tell in a month I guess and hope it's going to be as potent as yours!!!What up trifase?
Have you ever tried White Widow? I vaped some of the WW I grew today to see if it was any good and WOW!!! I always go with about half of what I would normally use when sampling and did just that today with the WW and it got me pretty high, higher than the Sour Grape and the Lemon I bought did when I sampled them. It was about the same strength of high as the Blue Dream I had recently.
I couldn't resist going back for more and ended up having a VERY nice afternoon. Hope yours turns out as good as or better than mine bro...
Thanx Dezracer Now that you mention leaving plants go... I fear I have still some road ahead: they look nowhere near done I think now, even if the trichs suggested otherwise becoming brown so early.Your plant looks healthier than minie did so yours will probably be better than mine. Hopefully you'll let yours go longer too as I chopped mine too early which made for some exta weight loss during drying.
I just commented similarly in your thread without reading here - lol!!!Your plants look great, keep it up...
thanks a lot man!!Just dropping by. Looking good man I like your LST skillz )
