you might not have the like button yet if your a new member. :cry:
It will show up on the bottom right hand corner of all the posts. :shock:
Its ok if you don't like me, no biggie:peace:
. what are those special bloom lights and who is HTG? do you have a phototron?.
With the phototron I don't ever switch out to bloom lights.:leaf:

A lot of growers use MH lights for veg then switch out to HPS bloom lights for flower, is that what you mean?
For the tron you shouldn't ever have to switch out lights unless they are old or broken. :joint:

I got some smelly cherry beans !! :DYeah! thanks uk ferry!:hug:
now I only have 2 more spots left in my collection for 2 more strains.

so Im on hold for an indoor grow till the director for the job I applied gets back from holidays to interview me.
BUt I threw a few seeds into a free patch of soil in my back yard to see if I can get something going in the mean time.
It is still real sunny and the dry with no frost . Got a few bags of nice black mulch for my other plants to look pretty.
and got a couple new books out from the library.
Finally got that one you recommended SB:eyesmoke:, it looks really good. Thanks for telling me about it.
got to go mow the lawn and do some more weeding!
Have a nice day!

I didn't say I don't like you I typed the word "like" to substitute for the like button. I found the like button and will use it in the future.
Yes I bought the identicle model that you have. It doesn't have the top reflector though. When I bought it one of the plls/biax lights was burned out which prompted me to research available lights for The Tron. I found that HTG has 3 sets of lights that looked promising. One set is used for veg another set is used to bloom and they have a set used for both veg and bloom called Perfect Par. All 3 sets are pricey so I wanted to get your opinion before spending tons of money.

Thanks again Doc! Have a good one!

to Supreme Bean.:
Dude, that book is super heavy.
I have to really concentrate hard to keep focused.
I am having to re read the pages 2 times, but find it fascinating.
Its like way over my head so I will have to digest slowly and reread multiple times.
Have no fuckin idea how you got through it in ONE BLOODY DAY!

To Unicorn:
If is was U Uni.. I would NOT fuck around with another company or fuss around with different lights other the originals..
GO to the source. The phototron shop. If they still don't ship to the UK. U, Uni, can Send me the money and I will get them for you and send them to you myself.
A quick general engine search has left me wondering if the Phototron shop in LA where I bought it is out of business.
I cant find them, can you? what a gut renching thought. Is this why you are talking to me about your situation?

I use Prakasa LED lights.The quality is good.the new Cob LEDs are an advancement in the technology.
The Future Is LED.
I also use metal halide for flowering.It gives a better high than HPS.I think MH is more like natural sunlight.
Leds should have a good spectrum.depending on the makers configuration.
You should be able to veg and flower under the same LED unit.
Thats my experience with LEDs.

Great art all round guys and gals.
Ambs. All my art work was thrown out by my mum...well, it was more technical drawing actually. A lot of my stuff was thrown out when she moved and not being there to help didn't help either. Luckily she kept some of my toys that I can now give to my Yins.:)

That is cool about the toys, and thanks. I loved seeing my son play with and enjoy my toys that ahad stayed around my mom and dads place. Shot my Tonka truck and legos got the most play time.

Yes. I bought this unit in a garage sale years ago and just now getting to a point where I can put this together and see what it can do. When I bought it, one of the plls/biax lights was burned out and the top bulb was very dim. So, I replaced the plls,( I call them sticks) with 4100k 55 watt sticks and bought a 23 watt 6500k cfl for it. From what I interpret in the directions, it seems that you would use the sticks throughout the entire grow and then switch out the cfl at the top to simulate the change in seasons; 6500k cfl for veg, 2900k or 2100k for bud/flower stage and 10000k to finish. Greners and Growlife are supposed to sell replacement parts for The Tron but their website indicates that they have abandoned Phototron entirely. So, I found your thread and thought I would consult you. Oh, and you were right, the like button has now appeared. :D

Dr. D81:cool:
those are gorgeous photographs, you have a real feel and eye for the medium. I will get the Rum Bayou going soon.
I particularly like the swan one and the horse photos. I had taken a picture of a couple goats that posed for me kinda in the moment like those horse ended up. but yours is much more interesting because its such a moment it time, timing thing. My goats look like I said, (and I did hee hee) , come on pose for me, right there, over a little...snap. I will show you it later.
and Payton looks so super cute in the Pumkin patch. awe, he looks so different now.
All your photos have such a clear simplicity to them that is fresh and invigorating. A lot of life in your work. very impressive!!:-D

Cool Tonka Truck:cool: DST!:leaf: is that a carpet its sitting on or a rug? That is a cool lookin floor. Did mrs. DST make it?:bigjoint:

Im going to bring my phototron in today and start germing some seeds.
I think maybe starting off with lights that are more fluorescent blue in nature and leaving them in the entire grow is a great way to start. This way everything is in place the entire grow and all you need to do is swich your timer from Veg 18/6 to Bloom 12/12.
In a 2 gallon smart pot I will veg maybe till the plant gets about 6 inches, just depends on the strain and node separation . Then switch to 12/12 because its going to grow 2 to 3 times as big in flower. Now the tricky part with the tron is dealing with its narrowness. No matter what I ever grew in the tron I have to string up the plant to keep it off of the side panels and away from the lights so it does not burn.So I take that into consideration and realize the top portion of my tron will not get used to the very top.
In my tron, I have a cord that hangs from the top for additional light to hang freely above the plant but I might only use it when im trying to warm or pop seed.:-P


HEY DAWG, whats up? bongsmilieim not sure what happened to my pm. you can convo me and I got another email account. That is so nice of you to send me a present:-D I like your lights, they are allways so cutting edge.:weed:

Nice looking shish Ambs. I am waiting on my mum bringing over the Tonka earth mover which is quite large for luggage.
That is a mosaic that Mrs. D designed, drafted out, then went to an intensive mosaic class to learn how to do it for real, then subsequently also showed me the basics and off we went. I've got pictures of the process, I'll look them out as on phone the noo.

You forgot the part where it takes a hell if a long time. I did one in the laundry of our place we left behind in north LA.

So, if I read your reply right, you are saying that I have all the lights that I need and I should grow with what I have? This would contradict everything that I have read. I was under the impression that in order to flower/bud the plants that a certain amount of red spectrum is needed and furthermore a large amount of blue is needed at the end of the grow to produce trics, which is the reason for the 10000k finishing bulb.

If you are up to it, can you start a thread on your current endeavor of sparking up your Tron again? I realize that you just did one, because I read it from top to bottom, but I would really appreciate the additional knowledge.

Thanks again Doc! I hope all is well with you!

Best regards!
