my lamps did not come with screw on hoods. what type of aluminum cooking tray are you talking about? are there any other methods to create some sort of reflectors to increase the yield?

ok i need some opinions. is the sour diesel (the first two pictures) ready to harvest? i think it is and need to cut it soon because i'm moving out of my apartment this week. how much longer until the grape ape (the second two pictures) is ready to harvest?

From what I have read there are two schools of thought on when to harvest:
1. Harvest when 70% - 80% of the hairs turn red.
2. Harvest when the trichhomes look optimal under a 30x magnifier.

I'd opt for #2.

i left the door open to the closet when the lights were on. it would get some natural breeze but i also had fan pointing into the closet to help out.

those look incredible. I have two mazar plants going now that are on week 1 of flower, i have 8 42w 2700k bulbs for that. My temps run at 85 High 72 Low..what were you temps like?

Those look incredible for CFL - i hope i have similar results!

i just harvested the two sour diesel plants and hung them up to dry. i'm letting the grape ape grow for another three days before i cut them.
