week. 3
temp. 72

Addead my old cfl vanity strip to my box for some more intense lighthing around the whole cab, I also raised the plants up about a half a foot. besides that my plants are doing well I am proud to say that I have never gotten to this point with nine healthy plants so if no-one never post in here as long as I make it to the end of this journal I will be more than happy

pic's below

I have to find a better way to take them Im still using my amazing phone camera I havent used my digital in a while. the one in the big pot is LST its not small I just removed the fan leaves so the side nodes wont be blocked of light. Sorry for the bad scanlines maybe I should pull out the digital!!!

week. 4 going into
temp. 68

Well made some changes to my setup now I'm just vegging with cfl's just because, I have been reading hps vegging is a waste of time. I personally think it is too now. When I first started vegging it was under a fluro, then hps, then back to hps, I noticed that they do grow more nodes under the white cfls than my hps, plus its saving me money on my light bill plus I dont have to run an exhaust either pheww so, I will keep them in vegg cycle until 15inces(2-3wks more) my room is about 4ft tall im looking for it to double to 30 inches tall. I may add another hps cus it was only 20 bucks, Im also thinking about going back to hydro to multiply bud faster before the summer comes, becuase I know without an A/C I'm going to encounter heat problems very much so so i plan on stocking up from now till the beginning of june. I will start back in late august of next year. O I also found out that I wont be needing purple seeds one of my well plants that is close to the intake is turing purple becuase my intake gose from my window in my room and It is maybe 43F outside now and its blowing straight in, so I know that my indica turns purple when given very cold temps. I KNOW PEOPLE!!!!!! its not good in this stage but, Im gonna turn the intake off maybe.

Pics late Im tired!!!!

Ya I would transplant, you will see intense growth if you do. I recommend 3 gallon pots, I picked mine up for like 4 bux a piece.

week. 4 almost done
temp. 72

Ok so week four is almost done I made some changes next week I am going back to hydro!!! Dwc, I just was thinking that I cant deal with this soil and watering schedule it's not that I dont want to do it, it's just annoying at times and Im sick of slow growth. Like I said before Im trying to stock up before the last week of June as many plants as possible, and dwc will make it possible!!! So thats all thats new plus My cab will utilize the dwc space.

I would get rid of that foil and do a DIY reflector. It could cause hot spots and probably isn't the most efficient method of reflecting.

Someone did a test and I believe that, by measuring lumens reflected off the surface, white paint was actually more reflective than materials like aluminum foil. I don't remember which thread it was in, might check the GrowFAQs or do a search. But hey, I used to use it over my miniature reef tank (saltwater breaks it down FAST).

They're looking GOOD, BoricuaB!

Talking about the tin foil reflector. But if it works it works! Thats the great thing about growing it yourself.

o yeah it's fine I sware actually it's improved my lighting I have no hot spots at all I check it daily but how would I go about making a reflector I dont really have a lot of space in my cab, I need to utilize all the space for budding.

Go look in my journal, I showed how I made my reflector, it would work perfect for your dresser, you don't even need the white thing (it'll make sense).
