This kinda sounds insulting. I don't see why you would want to change anything here, except maybe substituting some of the cfls for an HPS. He got 6.8 ozs off 1 plant if you didn't see that. Don't see how you can really get much better than that on in indoor grow....especially with cfls

local grow shop - search for a shop in your area I'd say (if you want to buy them in person).

Yo,

did you use those cfl's all the way through? and can you tell me again how many cfl's you used and what watts they were? and if they were cool white or what?
i'm sure you already went over that in this thread but i couldn't find it.


i just wanna know if you used those cfl's in the picture all the way through the grow. from seedling and all the way through flowering. please let me know.

and also how many cfl's you had? i couldn't tell from the pics. and what type of cfl's they were?
thanks a lot man. this is awesome. you did great.

Check out towards the bottom of page 16, he gave me a breakdown of his lighting.

Damn bro, I must say this was a truly impressive initial attempt at growing some dank nougs! I'm a newb as well, and I have been reading, watching a lot of utube, and hitting up the hydroponics sites (growing organic). I have seen some sad, decent, and average first attempts, but this is, as everyone has mentioned, extremely encouraging considering your improvisation. I do have a couple of questions, though... Did you continue to use the 'yeast method' for CO2 production? Subjective, but do you think that it made a significant difference, if so? Did you get any mold or white mildew? Any pests, at all? Last, I appreciate your thread because I am now a true believer in how important it is to have lights surrounding the base/mid-section of your plants, even CFL's, which is something I will utillize for my current/1st grow. The last thing I have is a suggestion for future, but keep in mind I actually have no idea what I'm doing... You may have even heard of the technique, but this plant would have been ideal for 'lollipopping'. Basically, entails clearing out the bottom branches/leaves of the plant at the end of veg/1st week of flowering (debatable), so that nutrients that would have been used for the small branches/popcorns, will transfer up to the buds/colas. This is something I stole from the infamous, UG or Urban Grower, Remo. He knows what's up! www.urbangrower.com. Also, this plant had some good genetics, and I know that you were in extenuating circumstances, but it wouldn't have been a bad idea to get some clones from this sexy fem. Wish me luck, I started w/ too many plants for my first grow...18...And 14 of them are rolling nicely, only a week and a half in. I'm aware of the 'homemade' soiless mix w/ peat, verm, perl, however Fox Farms Happy Frog is a great mix for the $$$. Same cost/bag as Ocean Forest, but almost twice the weight (24lbs to 47.5). Great job for the first time, bro! Keep in touch.

Chipp, by the way, I meant to ask what your humidity was measuring during flowing? Cheers, bro!!

Not exactly what I was asking for but whatever I guess it's good enough.

To answer a few questions:

1. I started out using purely 6500K ("daylight") 42W CFLs. I only had 2 of these lights. As the plant grew larger (during veg), I started to add 2700K 42W CFLs in addition to the 6500K lights. So, during veg, I eventually had a mix of both spectrums. During flowering, I added more 2700K lights and kept the 6500K ones still going. I eventually had 11x2700k and 2x6500K near the end of flowering.

2. Humidity? It was around 60-70% I believe. Nothing too outrageous...

3. dakin3d, thanks for the suggestion. I might disagree with you, but hear me out! I did stress my opinion on the importance of side lighting and under-lighting. I believe that the lights in this area encourage buds that might have (under lower lighting) been "popcorn buds" to grow into larger, trichome-rich buds. So, if I was to lollipop this plant, I might end up with larger buds near the top, but it may or may not actually make up for the difference in terms of the buds I'm preventing growing at the bottom (cause I cut off these branches by lollipopping).

What do you think dakin3d? Pretty much, I think there is a fine line between cutting off lower branches to direct nutrient dispersion and cutting off lower branches that could have really had a benefit from the side and underlighting. I would almost cut off *less* lower branches as I have more side and underlighting that can actually deliver light to these areas that may typically get less light.


Anyways, that's dragging on. What do you think? Thanks for stopping in by the way!
