thanks bro luckily my temps are ok i have 1 fan bringing air in and 1 sucking the air out & also my lights are off during 8am-8pm and on a garage concrete floor

My lights are off between 7am-7pm and the cab is in a closet on the 2nd floor of my place. Its always warmer upstairs than downstairs, so thats not helping the cause much. Ill be doing some mods to the cab this weekend to try and get the temps down. We'll see how that goes.

good luck with that. luckly my box hottest has been 84. which i was told is when mj stops growing plus i have homemade co2 so that makes the plants be able to handle more. my box dimensions are 3'x5'x 3-1/2' tall and i have 2 bathroom exhaust fans for 50 cubic foot 1 pulling air in 1 blowing air out. so i have pretty decent air movement plus a 6" fan blowing straight across my lights top & bottom.

Looking great so far man. You water every 2 days right? So how big are your pots? I am watering every 3 days and have a 2 gallon pot. Those clones sound amazing.

That is bomb. So what has your yield been using the system you have? Per plant? My friend and I have a bet too...how many plants do you have in there?

well my 1st grow i got 2-1/2 ozs per sour diesil plant & the rest averaged 1 to 1-1/2ozs 12plants, 2nd grow i tried growing 18 was way to crowded had top shelf quality head nugs but everything down below didnt develop thin out of 18 plants i averaged less then 1oz a plant had over 7gram nugs tho, so this grow went back to 12 plants added the homemade co2 & really expecting over a pound atleast im hoping cant complain since these are grow with cfls

Lookin good bro! I hope my current 12 will get me 16oz. That would be dope, a pound here is $4000 to the dispensaries! Although I'd have to cut and sell in 2.5oz servings lol.
As to the 2gal bags you use, I have both 2 and 3 but still not sure what I'll use. 3 gal does seem to be a bit tall given our 3 1/2 foot grow height. Hmm and the 2 gal bags I have are white on the outside =)

That is quite impressive man. I haven't checked your first pages in awhile but you are letting them just do their thing, right? No topping or LST? I am have been impressed since the beginning...keep up the great work man. You are an example of an EXCELLENT grow with cfls.

They are doing well so far. I have a few that are flowering and a few that are vegging. I may have to chop one of the bagseed and the GC before the rains as they are the heaviest budding right now. I would say that I have 3 weeks on the GC and 2 on the bagseed. Of course I could let them go longer but I don't want to risk the mold.

yeah mold sucks lost some last year to it my outdoor green cracks are about 3 weeks out also

Bird Gymnastics · May 12, 2011

I can't wait to see what you can do with that 600. What type of bulb are you thinking about using? I hear those hortilux bulbs work wonders. Anyway looking forward to your next post. Great stuff bro.

i plan on getting the switchable ballast and yes hortilux i hear the way to go i had a 1000 sold it cus i didntwant to pay the power for it.

Bird Gymnastics · May 12, 2011

I would of sold it too. 600watt are just about perfect IMO. Not too big and not too small + they have a grip of lumens. around 54000 if I'm not mistaken. I've seen many switchable ballast but ave you ever seen both a MH and HPS in the same hood at the same time??? I'll find the pic and post it. Its pretty much how I would do it if I had room for that big light

Bird Gymnastics · May 12, 2011

any idea of where to find this?

yeah i would love to do 2 600's better coverage. no never seen one of those almost looks homemade that someone added the other bulb but not sure
