How do you think the brown sugar helped out? Did you like the results or could you even tell it fattened up the buds a bit?

Sounds cool!!! Are you going to stay with the cfl's? I mean if your burning over 400wts of cfl, think what difference there'd be with a switchable MH/HPS....... and do a 600haha---get more depth(aint that what your girl there says??:hump: ) jk:-P

With what you guys have learned you'll do a lot better next run with even just what you have......the stress will be much less on them, eh

:weed:

Yeh im lookin to get an hps but looks for a used or cheap on off ebay or cglist.

In our SOg setup were gonna have three batches flowering 3 weeks apart. so I wanna get a 250 hps and put of over the two batches thats are in their later weeks of flowering. And use a 5-6(23 watt) cfl setup for the clones that come fresh in from rooting.

ill try and draw somethin up to make it a little more clear.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
nice setup i am in desperate need off an answer to this question:
u mention 1/4 strength????
it sais to put 7 and do it for 4 weeks so do i start at quarter of 7 and built up???(i have known people not to do this but i have been told its what your ment to do???)
please help i need to start feeding them soon and i really dont wanna over feed them....
cheerz
The lable says put 7 what? and the 1/4 strenght im referring to is 1/4 of full strength which is listed on the bottle.

my 2 cents; when in doubt under feed and work up slowly.

I wouldn't use it agian. it started to foam after a week or. i think the sugar was fermenting and it smell a little weird.
It may or may not have helped but id go with molasses next time

Update:

1. Roots have taken off along with the rest of the plant
2. Our struggling plant has died:? However, we received our Durban Poision seeds and began the germ process yesterday.:mrgreen:
3. We contructed the frame of our new grow box. the demisions are 32L X 27W X 64H.

Here are some pics of the plant, its roots and our progress on our cabinet

Oh question. Anyone heard of having too much light on a plant. We have 6 clf hanging above(865 lumens each) 5200 total and we just added some side lighting another 2-3000 lumens for a total of 8000+-.

I read<http://homeharvest.com/plntdis.htm> red tips and bleaching color of leaves is an indicator. there is some red tips on some leaves but this could be other things as well. What are your opinions?
Hi boys, Im a new grower & have notice you need to chill out on the nutrients :) Liking your cabinet idea :) Im using a cupboard with 4x 35w CFLs & a 400w Halogen :) Its just for one little beauty, ill upload some picture in this thread soon :) Good luck
