Not a lot to report.

pic 1 & 2 5/31, 3 & 4 tonight.

I must say I've never used CFLs, I thought they would get a lot more stretchy , I'll have room under the 400MH soon.

Looking good. I've become a CFL believer too. How many bulbs do you have there?

Lacy · Jun 2, 2008

I've had those little gnat bastards from day one. I kill every one I see but that is obviously not very effective. I tried leaving plate of water and sugar in there, no dice. They don't seem to bother the plants though and they don't multiply like crazy either. I only see one or two a week. I wouldn't stress unless there's swarms of em.

Dunno if you saw someone suggest putting some sliced potato on the soil. The little fuckers cant resist em and burrow in, chuck out funky slice, replace, repeat.

Your right, I forgot about that trick, REP+, for the new guy.

Mared I'm using 3 100w eqiv. its going so well I'm thinking of adding 3 more CFLs, I'm impressed with the CFLs results, I didn't think they had it in them.

Thanks bro, glad to help.

If they fit your needs, CFL's are the bomb. Yeah you gotta keep em close to the plants but for low heat, low cost, and stealth up the kazoo. I sure dig em.

Haven't smoked any yet, but fast service,reasonable price, seeds germed fast, growing strong.

hey can those bugs lay larva(eggs) on your plants?

They lay eggs in the soil or perlite. The eggs hatch into larvae that eat the roots of the plant, and eventually kill it. You must get rid of them or they'll keep ruining future crops. The best solution I have found is a product called Mosquito Dunks. These contain an organism that kills the fly larvae, but is harmless to the plant and contain nothing chemical. It's really best to use a little in every pot, and continue for a few grows to get the new generations. I frequently toss some in the water that's going to be used as well as crumbling some up and mixing in around the roots. I find it in donut-shaped solid, but there may be a similar product that's granular- would be easier to use. The YELLOW sticky insect traps attract them, and may reduce the flying population. I sprayed some fluorescents with a plant oil spray and found they would stick on the tubes- he he. But you must treat the larvae to keep the roots alive.

TetraHyC · Jun 2, 2008

No sign of any adults, looks like the gnatrol is killing the larvae.

Pretty full in my veg chamber, I think I'll add some more CFLs and leave them in there a while longer.

TetraHyC · Jun 3, 2008

I don't want to put my plants outside anymore.

Found these at a real electrical shop, $2.25each. (outdoor waterproof)

Going to make a small array using 6 sockets.

I'll get some more stuff for it tomorrow.

Thats some ground up Chem Dog.

TetraHyC · Jun 3, 2008

Hadn't looked all day, looks good, they're ready for stronger light and nutes.

TetraHyC · Jun 4, 2008

Coming along nicely.

I'll give you guys a run down on the nutes soon.

TetraHyC · Jun 5, 2008

Well I rounded up the rest of the stuff I needed for my CFL set-up.

Sheet of Gal. steel $12
Connectors and shrink tube $5
Cord $3

I'll hang it a little later, got something else to do first, :joint:
