yeah the only use for my small cfl's now is for the clones
I started using a little 80w hps for cloning. One of those little shop lights you can buy at HD. I tore the photo sensor out of it and it runs like a champ.

Doesn't get very hot so I can get it close to the plants with a small fan
on them. Since I switched I noticed the seem to root quicker and grow better than when I used the cfls.

@LetsGetCritical welcome back lol

Anywho yeah lots of people use cfls, but how many have r
Tried to flower under 60 watts? Not to mention no nutes for the entire grow, in dirt i dug up from an old garden? Plus tap water.... No ph testing, no nothing.

I did everything that any sane grower would suggest against and at this point im actually impressed with the results.

I read somewhere that being root bound will increase the speed they flower... Anyone know if thats actually true? Im aware the wont grow much more, but thats fine.

I am going to take a clone as soon as i see pistils. I have a feeling the genetics at play here are decent. It was bagseed but they grew quite well. Imagine if i took proper care? Im gunna need some bud to smoke so the clones will turn into my next headstash and i will continue this thread so the difference can be shown in how these plants would have looked.

My last name is murphy... And Murphy's Law definitely has proven true for me lol
your attitude :-) it sucks! haven't you ever heard of self-fullfilling prophecy? Clear your mind, of druqs, and douche your past. seriously tho (no offense) but life's too short to be stuck in dumbass mode. just trying to help, but I noticed a few wks ago you're nearly deaf.

Start with a 600, judging by your threads you don't merit a 1000 yet.

I wanna try new lights. Ive never used good lights. Im cheap as fuck.

So, any tips on what to buy? I wanna start doing bigger grows. I think a 1000w would be cool but im scared im gunna buy it and the ballast will fail or something.
600w mh hps digital dimmable brand name with a warranty, quality lamps, a cooltube or hood and a couple of fans would be a nice start. Put a little in and get a shitload back.

Statistics show, that the probability of you failing, is higher than the ballast failing.

American Pickers stars “come out of the closet”


HOLLYWOOD-Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, stars of the History Channel’s American Pickers television show, have raised eyebrows in the past with their a-little-too-close relationship and outright disdain for stunning co-star Danielle Colby Cushman. On Monday, the pair “came out of the closet,” in the hopes that fans would understand their choice of sexuality.
Mostly, the Pickers have not been disappointed. Fans have started a campaign on Twitter under the hashtag #SupportPickers, and many members of the LBGQT activist movement have issued statements of support.

Cushman, who is often taunted and belittled by the Pickers despite her staggering beauty and quick wit, said “I knew it all along, but never said anything because of their miserably fragile egos. I guess they’re stronger than I thought!”
Fritz, the submissive “bear” and megapowerbottom of the couple, has mostly “retreated into his oil can collection,” as rumors of a negative and unsupportive family have spread widely across the Internet. Wolfe, however, seems upbeat and optimistic, just like he always does on TV. Wolfe said, “We’re going to keep on picking, but if you hear a little more lisp when we’re trying to haggle with gays, you’ll know that we aren’t actually just pandering for better prices.”

I run 1000w in a 4x4. Temps raise 20deg between on and off. Hardest part is keeping it cool.
You'd want a sealed hood. An inline fan to draw cool air to the hood. An inline fan and a carbon scrubber for exhaust and another small inline fan to draw additional cool air to the plants.
