The Bigger The Buds The Better

Hey, cool beans then - if it works it works. Just making the point that it's, from a growing point of view, no different than a normal incandescent bulb. You can flower under an incandescent bulb too - it'll work, but it may not be ideal, that's all. Can't argue with big buds, though, eh? I'm interested to see how it works out.

lol na i didnt intend for that to be rude mate if it sounded it lmao im stoned tryin to type doesnt always work out for the best lol but yea man no probs i'll show you how it goes the outher main reason im using it is because it gives off heat so i can keep my outher grow box warm theres a clf in there also man so i aint jus gona go for that purple bulb cause its not bright enough but it would be ok for one plant as i said but not enough for 2 thats how pants itis so yea in away you're also right about crap light it gives off...............

Ah, that makes good sense - it would make a decent heater, that's for sure, and it does add a bit of red to the mix. It's an unusual bulb to use, that's the only reason I mention it. They are marketed as "full spectrum" as well, and are the type of thing that may be misleading because they really aren't a true full spectrum bulb. Anyway, seems you've got everything under control, man, never mind my prattling on :lol:

Hi UK. I'll know who to contact if I'm short of Christmas lights this year LOL! Seriously though looks like a nice light mate. Just be careful it isn't too strong. I don't see why it should be a problem as long as you can get enough distance from the leaves and keep the temp down etc - you see people using 1000w and all. And it's not as if you only have one or two plants LOL. Yeah sorry I haven't been good at updating, but I did one last night - couple pics of my "GIRLS" - yes looks like my Cinammon are girls. See https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/75638-first-grow-outdoor-uk-15.html. Catch you later man bongsmilie

Hi UK, how's it going. Sorry to hear about your transparent leaf. Not sure what that could be. Is it the entire leaf that looks like that? If so it might just be a mutant leaf LOL or one that hasn't developed properly for some reason. Or if it's only part of the leaf or transparent blotches then that can be caused by larvae between the leaf layers eating the inside of the leaf away. Sometimes if you hold a light behind the leaf you can actually see the larvae inside. If you think that is what it is then best to remove the leaf and burn it, otherwise they will eventually emerge and start eating everything in sight, and they will breed too. Also some fungae can cause transparent spots or blotches. Again best to get rid of the leaf in case it spreads. Let me know what you find ;)

Shit man I don't know - maybe it's just really sensitive. Could just be genetics or something, I mean for this particular plant. A mutant - call her "Frosty" LOL. As long as it's the only one at least you know there's nothing serious to be concerned about. Just keep your eye on them anyway ;) Catch you later man :leaf:

Well UK, how is she today - any improvement? It's really weird how she's the only one with any problems. I reckon she's just a weakling or a mutant or something. Maybe she just came from a dodgy seed. I bet if you take good care of her though she could end up being the best plant you have LOL.
