hi guys
those garden lights should be a peice of piss to wire, i would not bother with any switches (unless your posh and want to SWITCH them off instead of unplug) just get a bit of cable, if they have cable coming from light then stick a plug on it. if not then you will either need 3 core or 2 core cable, just open the back where you wire it then you will know which one you need, get a length of the correct cable wire it in and stick a plug on the end.
i knew this gardeing lark was getting cheap but two cfls for a euro is just balmy, good find fella!
heres the ladies i planted below which are doing ok, the 3 skunk are about 4 days ahead of the other 3.

i will put another pic up tomorrow to show what i got from my other 2 plants, i checked on them yesterday and they are drying out fine, looking very sparkly and with a bit of luck ready for christmas.
good luck with all your grows.

3 core - brown, blue and green/yellow (such as an iron cable)
2 core - brown and blue (such as lead to a radio)

[Doiremick]

I take it your waitin for the next outdoor season before you get goin again?

Happy days luc gettin on the ball already haha how did the last stuff come along for ye?

 

[irishmc]

What sort of grow area are you usin irish?

I got a grow tent the other day Mick. Great piece of kit i must say. I stuck more lights in there yesterday and the temps are up near the 80f when lights on. The plants seem to be looking a bit better with more lights in there. I have them on 22/2 to keep the heat up.

 

[jimmycent]

dunno, hopefully ill be in a new gaf by then, get a wee hydro grow up n runnin. sick of buyin shite weed at worse prices, if ur even lucky enough to be able 2 find any 1 with any. whats that freeman stuff your studyin.

Howya Jay, looking good man, how about circles of black plastic (cut out of a heavy duty binliner say) instead of tin foil? Not sure about the metal on the soil like that. And the plastic will insulate the soil, keep it humid, and cos its black it will absorb heat and warm the soil too.

What do you reckon?

Nice dark green colour, I like it

 

[Professor Manali]

Youd need a shit load of those to get a harvest worth your while Id say. Theres 80 watt spirals for 12 quid or thereabouts at avocalite.ie, they send them to you for a couple of quid, thats good value, and theyre 6500K, just what you want for good leaf and shoot growth.

A shit load of those 21watt cfls i meant.

Yeah your probably right although my growing days came to an end the other day, well at least for a while anyway...

Have decided to do a guerilla grow next year with a couple of tomato grow bags...

ill put a pic up mick once they dry out a bit, i dont want to put a pic up yet as it would not be a true amount of what i got due to it not being ready, and to say the led was more for veg than flower the couple of plants did very well!, will be getting another light in next couple of weeks for the flowering cos ill have the six plus i might do another 2 white berry. ive been reading and they are supposed to be alright.
later

I'm not actually gettin it that bad at the minute lad, prices are a bit shite but it's always there every week for me de lift at least a half. I can get gold stamp afghan black at the minute aswell but he's rippin the arse out of it price wise 35 a quart, really powerful stuff though not like that other soft cack.

Happy days Irish I was thinkin about gettin a tent after xmas their goin cheap on ebay now but it makes no difference yet cause the cupboard I'm usin would have the same dimesnsions as a tent.

 

[Doiremick]

Forgot to write this aswell, a freeman is someone who is not subject to any laws on earth other than gods law, which is don't pysically harm, kill, steal or fraud, in other words you do as you please and even going to court your guaranteed to win everytime unless you violated gods law in some way....literally AS YOU PLEASE.

 

[irishmc]

I got mine off fleebay Mick. Worked out about 90 Euro delivered.

 

[Doiremick]

That's a decent enough price there man happy days, what's it like tryin to keep it warm though?

 

[Doiremick]

Here's an update on how the girls are, gonna chop the small one in a week or less as the pistils are starting to colour and die off now.


As you can see with this one I'm not expecting much, if anything I'm a bit disappointed but I think it's light issues as I'm only using the 125w CFL red spectrum on it's own for the 3.

 

[irishmc]

That's a decent enough price there man happy days, what's it like tryin to keep it warm though?

I have the lights on 22/2 so the heat is not much of a problem now. I think having it indoors would be great help.

The ladies look good mate. I have 2 125 watt cfl(1 red and 1 blue spec) over 2 plants and they are as small as your small one. So i reckon more light would be great for your girls.

 

[Doiremick]

I'm buyin a 90w UFO in the next few days so that should sort things out a bit usin that along with the flowerin CFL. I hear the issues, if any with the UFO's is flowerin so the CFL will make sure there's no issue there.

Have you not got the tent indoors? I'd have it inside or can you not security wise.

 

[irishmc]

No its out in a shed mate. No room inside and i have a family so inside is no for me.

Because the lights are out for only 2 hours it holds the temp a bit. But if you were flowering 12/12 time i would say they would freeze to death in this climate.

How much is the UFO setting you back if ya dont mind me asking?

Are we looking at the same thing - I thought they were 85 watt and 2700K?
