Humboldt's Growing Adventures! Up & Away!

been very busy the last few weeks,trying to get all my cloning done. I am going to try and post some pics later today. your grow looks awesome dude.

Humbolt those are looking great- good job.

I have a question why are you useing cfls for everything. If you got a 250w hps system this would give you a thrid more lumens if not more.

If you have 10 26w cfls = 260w and @ 1500-2000 lumens each- = 15,000 lumens/20,000 lumens so if you buy a 250w hps you should get like 35000 lumens.

Your plants are doing really well with the cfls I could only imagin what they would look like with a 600w dig hps system (85,000/90,000 lumens). I got mine for 250.00 from ebay with everything. I just use this in the flowering stage and use the cfls for vegg/clones.

Good looking plants-
Here are some updated pics of mine-

I love your journal, I've read the whole thing and as a new grower I've learned a lot!!

Thanks for being descriptive, I'll look forward to seeing more!

wb I only have the 14 26w bulbs over top of the girls flowering, I decided to take the bottom lights out, going to be using them for my new grow box, I have 9 girls growing right now 6 in veg and 3 in flower, I can't wait to get my grow box done, so I can start flowering the four girls in the big pots and am going to use the smaller girls for mothers, I'm planning to start the dirt SOG soon after my bubblegum gets here.

Thanks mountain for stopping by and wishing me luck, keep coming back it works!


Thanks Party, I can't wait to see some pics as we started flowering on the same day and now that I realize you are growing bubblegum I'm even more excited about your grow.


Logan, I'm using all cfl's this round because I would personally like to see what I can yield using them, I plan on getting a 400w or higher hps system sooner or later, I'm really in know rush as I'm perfectly satisfied on how things are going right now, you're plants are looking awesome btw!

You're very welcome jomal, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read through my journal, please do visit again.

Today is feeding and may take some more pics as they seem to be filling out more everyday, I may have some pics up tonight.

Thanks guys for your support!

as have i thank you very much!!

i think i might have thought up a safe way to rig up the PC fans...use an old cell phone charger or something along those lines.they only output like 5 or 6 volts.i haven't tried this yet but I'm going to,Ill let you know if it works.

Hey H.
I was not tring to offend you regarding the cfls set-up, I too am using it. I was just saying that I have seen a huge difference in the two that I have. But they looked like shit to start off so I guess its not saying much.

Keep up the good work and all the info-

Thanks cream for stopping by, glad I was able to help.


madcow thanks but the ac/dc adapter has already been brought up and tested, however they don't give out enough power for what I need them for, I'm thinking those plugs would be great for small grow boxes.



No offense taken Logan, I was originally going to try and switch to hps during this flowering round, but decided against it because I would personally like to see what these cfls will do and when I get the hps I then will be curious to see the difference..


I have been planning lots of stuff for future grows and it seems to be forever changing.lol. I'm still going to try the SOG but on a small scale, using cfl's, I now plan to grow a couple larger plants under an hps unit, maybe one unknown and one bubblegum.


It's only been a couple days but I had to water so I thought I'd take a few shots, I'm thinking they are doing quite well, these plants are doing better than the one I tried growing outdoors a couple years ago, I'll have to look for some pics of that, I have them somewhere on cd, I'll post them if and when I find them.


Here's bushy,

Small,

Mediocre,

They are smelling good but not that strong, I'm hoping the smell gets stronger. lol I have to admit since they are in my room I'm able to slide open the doors, put on sunglasses, kick back and admire the girls while dreaming of the harvest.

I have two pairs of sunglasses on hand one for me and one for ma, I'm always worried about going blind with these cfls, sometimes I just can't help looking into them as it's the best way to check the girls closely.

Expect pictures almost daily, lol nah I may not post a picture update for at least a few days, depending on how noticeably different they look.


Thanks Guys!

Looks nice

What kind of seed did you use? Everything looks good...so you're trying to flower with cfls also? Is that not the recommended thing to do?

they are lookin delicius, look at that frosting i can almost smell it from here, hey one question what is that metal thing where u put ur cfl's and where i saw u put a fan too?

thats a bomb plant man and thanks for the advice

been a while since i stopped by. i know i have said this before but those plants look absolutey frickin fantastic. big and bushy as hell with chrystals a plenty. gives you a good feeling of accomplishment. gonna be some good holiday smoke.

jomal, I don't know what strain as these are bagseed but I'm getting some bubblegum real soon, I'm soo excited, and for flowering with cfl's .. yes I want to personally see what I can yield using them, a lot of people would not recommend it and that's mostly mh/hps users who have never actually tried them.


I'm sorry majim I do not know what you mean by little metal thing, if you are referring to my light fixture and what I'm using for reflection, the answer is cheap dollar store gift wrap and it seems to be working, lol I almost ripped it off thinking it was damaging a couple of my plants but I was wrong..


You're welcome killer, thanks for stopping by and the explosive comment, keep coming back, it works!


Thank ya masta, you can never not compliment my plants enough, actually as you should already know what a wonderful feeling it is, Iv'e seen your latest bud shots and man those looks sweet, I can't wait for that holiday smoke!


Thanks again guys!

Well your plant looks pretty nice for being some bagseed

Do all plants look that good when they're growing? I wouldn't expect bagseed to grow a plant that looks that good.....or is that my newbie-ness kicking in?!

Either way it looks like you've got a good grasp on things. Keep it up, you're an inspiration!

They look gorgeous... nice work...

good looking plant very frosty. keep us posted on your progress,.
