Spam spam spam I want some more spam!! green eggs and spam plz!

Have u fellows ever heard of "Solartubes"? They install them from the exterior roof to your ceiling, and of course, it's a tube. It has a round dome on top, low profile and is the tube is reflective. It's an easy way to brighten any room quickly and cheaply, completely passive.
I was thinking a large one might be able to handle a pretty good sized plant. You can seal the ceiling end with a cap so no light comes out and conceals the plant.

Just a rough idea but some you wintering chaps might benefit. Surely if it did work, you would be finishing inside one right now.... rain be danged..... <----uh buggered?

Thats a right good idea. Those tubes are quiet easy to fit and inexpensive

Binga banga bongo... there you go... I've often thought of it, but I don't need it.

I imagine you could wrap insulation around the tube part in the attic, so as to keep it warm all day.

Well lads, just checking back in. i'm worried abpit one of my plants. here are two pics, the first taken two months ago and the second this morning. the plant on the left is taking ages, now bear in mind this plant started two weeks or so after the one on the right (both in may!!) and the one on the right looks ready to go into 12/12, they've both been on 18/6 since i got the light in july.

i pruned the left plant after the first pic was taken, but there should be more growth than that? i use no nutes as i wanted to avoid using them, just water and light.

you can see how the right plant has come on, should i start trimming her too? any advice??

you can also see two cuttings i've started in an effort to clone each plant, but i tried cloning before and it didnt work.

help!!!

 

[Fallen Buckshot]

the plant on the right looks fine .. you shouldnt have trimmed the other one .. you could put the one on the right into flower now if ya want .. id advise hitting it with some kinda nutes tho... yer best bet is taking good cuttings from the top 2-3 nodes if you can..

 

[Bassmingo]

I have to put them both into flower at the same time, as i've only one light. so i have to wait till one plant catches up. i used a cutting from the top of one plant and the bottom of the other, but time will tell if they clone or not.

any idea of yield from the plant on the right?

what nutes would you recommend? even at this late stage? i heard you cant put nutes in during flowering

 

[CrackerJax]

U can nute during flowering..... u should nute during flowering. Use something which has less N and more K. P should always be present throughout the grow.

Pardon my ignorance but i'm a nute noob! Whats that mean?

 

[CrackerJax]

NPK Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium. The big three although it takes more than just those for a complete grow.

When you see a regular fert label those are the numbers....

The old fashioned way to grow (old fashioned because it works) is to start ur plants on a ratio fert of:
3N-2P-1K using those ratios something like a good veg fert would look like this on the label 6-4-2 (organic) or 30-20-10 (chemical fert). This promotes good growth and root structure.

Once in flower, you reverse the ratios. 1N-2P-3K. This promotes flower growth while maintaining the adult plant produced by the first fert.

3-2-1 then 1-2-3 Then smoke...
