here are my two Barneys farm Pineapple Express....
soil:
bio bizz light mix
perlite
vermiculite
bat guano
light:
125w CFL per plant (23/1)
now at 65 days ... unfortunately during early flowering i let both of them stretch into the lights, and the main colas turned to dust
so yeah massively embarrased about that but they are what they are now...........
both plants now showing signs of def. .... still gonna keep me in smoke for a short while
a taste of things to come

Still looking good, Trout
Shame about the vapourisation of your colas, but like you said man, shit happens and you got what you got innit...
Haven't even touched my thread for months and kinda missed by Budziller cropping. Still got more than half ounce left though
And I have an Exodus Cheese ready in under two weeks, with some Fruit Punch ready 2/3 weeks after that. It's all good !!!
I may go back there and add a few updated pics later for anyone that may still be following.
I have moved up to 600W HPS as of about 2 weeks ago and now dealing with soaring temps Fuk knows what'll happen when the warmer weather comes...! I need some immediate cooling!
Quite funny really when you consider the tiny little space that I'm using, when my mate has the same bulb running a massive tent and getting 7 Oz's per plant!! With that in mind I'm excited about my future harvests but have to overcome some pretty harsh problems compared to the last time I had problems lol
Incidentally, Trout, 125w CFL's are just not good enough!
I thought that my two 125's would give me similar results to 1 single 250w cfl - I was wrong badly lol - the lumen output is much higher from the 250w compared to any number of 125's and will always outperform them. I'd advise you to take serious thought on it mate - 1x 250w could give, theoretically, better results than your 3x 125w's currently do.
Thumbs up all round man - your still smoking!

yeah been thinking about it mate ..... cropping from my 17-85mm lens is doing my nut in ...lol
and how the devil you been fella???
yeah i relise the limits of my kit at the moment mate, but due to being in a tiny wardrobe and being a prototype i had to guess (with no previous experience) what would be enough- but not impossible to cool using the pc fans and such ... and to be honest mate for 3 autos at a time its been doing alright, but i'm gagging to fire up some hps (major Jel!!)... but this cab was always going to be a tempory thing so i didn't really wanna lay out too much on it, and its turned out something in the region of 9 oz in 7 months so like you say its keeping me in smoke
cant wait for the end of the week when i'll be chopping the plants
oh and i had a lighting rig accident and broke one of the CFL.... currently running 2 No. lol

right slight update ... the two pineapple express have been chopped ... a few days short of 70 days they seemed to have maxed out, although i will say these two are nothing like previous harvests, i think i need to retire my CFL lamps now as they don't seem to have same results now (4th harvest now)
got a touch over 6 oz wet bud including some stalks..... i think its gonna be around 1.5 oz max dried but i'll have to wait and see
