you ever think of making some makeshift ghetto reflectors for your cfls to help maximize the light output towared your plants..? i found this good ass metal duct tape 16 buks home depot a/c venting tape its pretty sturdy and with a little thinking you can easily make a few reflectors for them.. cuz ur loosing alot of light at the top of ur roomwith all those cfls u need to concentrate it on ur plants or ur buds will start gettin hella airy..

For sure dude, that's what I was hoping to hear. Mine's been goin' 12/12 for a 5 weeks and 2 days (7x5=35 ... +2=37 days YAYA I CAN D0 MAFF)

And a question about colas! My plant will have 5 colas, but the main one I'm concerned about (Top middle boy). When my plant started flowering and the space between the internodes were getting shorter, will my Top Cola be covering the bare stalk of the plant throughout those new internodes? Or will it even outstand where the leaves end at the top of the plant and be a bit taller than the plant? I've gotten so many ranges from how much Bud people think I'll harvest from it. Can you help?
do u have pics so i can have a visual?

Thanks for the advice I have seen some leaves turning yellow so I will back off and give them just water this next feeding.
hey your leaves are yelowing because of nitrogen deficiency instead of 2-8-6 it should be 8-2-6, use your urine as a vegetative nutrient it's sth like 10-3-2 just mix 1gallon of water with one cup of urine(don't save it for later), and the other fertilizer you have s better for fliwering

That sounds like a terrible idea, even if you do flush your plants during flower. Just the fact of knowing your bud has your piss in it would ruin the whole plant for me./
Its cheap enough to buy a decent veg fert, even bone/bloodmeal. Common, your own piss. Save some shit, put it in a pile in your back yard, tp is good too. Mix it all together throw a handfull of soil and let it sit for a while. Then use it, Excellent for veg lol Dont use the piss after a long night of drinking either/

I know it sounds gross rich...but farmers have been using urine as a fertilizer for literally thousands of years. The dutch did a study that proves it grows just as well as commercial fertilizers. The roots take the nutrients to the leaves...not piss to the buds lol. They take whatever N - P - K and micronutrients they need, and ignore the rest. Many lawns are fertilized using cow pee. It's 100% economical and safe...unless you have the clap. Then you have other problems :lol:

I have already fixed that problem a long time ago lol my plants are healthy and are going to be some very good smoke and @ lil rich I use piss on half my grow and regular nutes on the others and the piss seems to be working better so I'm going to use piss on all of my plants and even though it sounds gross it works

Here is an update I added the reflectors I had in the beginning back to the setup and took out some lights and added some so now I have 16 23 watt cfl, 5 150 watt equivalent and 1 200 watt equivalent so hopefully this will bring down the temps in the room back to around 85 instead over 100 and I also took out about 13 23 watt cfl lights

Temps are down to around 92 when they are awake which is more than 10 degrees cooler than what it has been due to the heat wave and the temps are down to the low to mid 80 degree range when they are sleeping and humdity stays around 40 to 45 percent.
