I did maintance today, I have pics of they out of the box. (next update)

This pic is the last picture 5 minutes before lights out.




The clones on the sides





I bundled some of the branches and added a 42 watt cfl in the center.


Here are my light specs:

(1) 430 watt hps at 2100k

(6) 26 watt mini spiral cfl's at 2700k

(1) 42 watt mini spiral cfl at 2700k

holy crap... i shit myself when i saw those tanks... look at those soon to be nug cannons!

but by any chance do you know which spectrum your fluoros are at AND why did u choose your particular wattages at 26 and 42's?

are my 60watters too much?


ps... did u do any cutting back or trimming to produce more bud locations or longer bud growth?

any red hairs yet? how long til harvest :)

I think solt white? The 2100k-2700k would be the color temp for flowering. I have different lights for veg.

every thing in there looks red/yellow with the lights. It's bag seed so harverst guess would be welcome.

My guess is 4 to 6 weeks

I like 6500k to 7200k for veg, the 5000k range will work.

this is my veg bulb http://www.hydroponics.net/i/131469

Hey Randy.
Have you thought about putting a tip in satmans thread about wire shelves?
I was thinking of putting a shelf in my grow room and then I saw this picture and will be using wire now, to let the light get through. great idea.


That just shows the benefit of putting pics in your journal.
Yours has to be one of my favourite grow rooms, I'm a bit jealous.
