My third try, hope it's not fail

I get that, but you still need more light in there man or what you are doing is pointless, period. You are doing all this work and you won't get anything but hairs and no bud at all. So get a couple of those bulbs I just showed you. Its cheap and will work. You gotta do it. There is no way around it whatsoever.

jpbeach28 is so right on, you need to get as much as heat will allow. Add more fans or better ones if your heat spikes. Good luck and you can never know everthing but you can google everthing.

Redboy,
Post a picture of your entire setup, I dont need any close-ups or anything g like that, just a picture showing your entire box with the door open. Also I need dimensions. How tall, wide and deep is the grow area you are working with? With these numbers I can give you the info you requested the other day. I'll post that info answering your question on your thread so others can see and it can possibly help someone else with the same question regarding a hydro setup for a small space such as yours.
Beach.

Stop spraying the leaves and buds with water thats not good to do when in flower stage.

jpbeach28 · Jan 11, 2014

He's right, that can lead to mold. I thought we said no more foliage feeding anyways.

The CFL is way better. That's because these little leds don't do shit. Trust me, I've been through this.

Cheers!! ;-)

Your not doing it right. Leds vs silly cfls in terms of output vs good leds, hands down good leds stomp cfls. I grow with hps but cummon, maybe the dollars/gram is less but the leds will win in the long run, easy.

Alienwidow · Jan 13, 2014

And if you bought amazon junk then its your fault....sorry for your loss.

CoolDudeStuff · Jan 13, 2014

I know that GOOD LEDs win over CFls but just take a look at the link RedBoy posted.
You think that's a good LED panel? If yes, you know nothing about LEDs.
CFLs can't be silly in terms of output. No matter the brand.
I didn't buy amazon junk, just eBay junk, like the link given.

And if you're trying to be a smartass then it's your fault....sorry for your loss.

Cheers!!

Lads don't fight because of a shitty LED link that I have uploaded. My question was which one of the two types(not necessarily to be the one already posted). Smoke a doobie and relax :leaf:

CoolDudeStuff · Jan 13, 2014

Hey Red, not trying to fight or brag about a lighting choice, just hate to see wannabe gurus!

Well, if you're trying to compare a good LED panel to a CFL, the comparison is not valid, but I don't know about a 300w or so CFL, never saw one working.
Really, there are many threads comparing LED panels to HPS lighting! So, yeah, a good LED panel is way better than normal CFLs!
Way more overpriced, though!

Cheers!! :bigjoint:

If you choose CFL, I'd get multiple smaller CFLs instead of that massive one. better light distribution and less heat.. those giant CFLs are extremely hot.

jpbeach28 · Jan 13, 2014

As someone already stated junk is junk so dont buy that led b/c its just that junk. I have pretty much that exact cfl that came in my superbox, though mine is a 250 dual spectrum. That blue one would be great for veg but your gonna need red spectrum for flower. But that cfl is gonna be too hot for your dimensions I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT!!! my cab runs at 82 and its bigger so your will be even hotter.

Man I'm telling you what to do, the rest is up to you. Dont waste your money on something you can't even use. Just go buy a couple of 100watt cfl's like I showed you this way you aren't out much cash at all plus you'll be able to adjust your heat by adding or taking away a bulb here or there if needed. If you will just do what I'm telling you, you willing immediate rbxxxgytxwesults!!!!

Your wasting time right now b/c your plant needed this done weeks ago. Stop looking at all this different stuff and just do whatbyou suggested. Lets just get through this first grow then you can look at upgrading stuff.

I like CFLs too. I've seen a lot of good results from them, and they are cheaper. Not that cheaper is better, but they do the work!

jpbeach28 · Jan 24, 2014

Redboy, just checking in to see how your plant is doing and reacting to the major trim job you gave it a few weeks back. Plz post a pic or two so we can see how shes bounced back.

RedBoy · Jan 30, 2014

Good people I am sorry about not keeping my topic fresh but I had deadline commitments and I just couldn't make it.
Seems like she manages to recover at some point and I hope after a good WH weekend and payroll to be able to put a few things(bulb,maybe another fan) into the space. Bad thing is that I will have to change my accomodation after June, July so will need to think about something more movable. Peace and take a toke but don't choke :leaf:
