fruity Thai and G13 Superskunk

[Jesus H. Christ]

The Lord started this grow 11/2. (4) Fruity Thai, (4) G13 Superskunk.
Initially with a 400W HPS on light rail, swapped to 1000W MH a few weeks in.
All ladies (praise the Lord!) All healthy and happy.

They'll go into 12/12 on 1000W HPS on Friday.

Peace & Love
J.H.C.

ps. Grow log was being kept on yahooka... but that is a weird bunch running that site. They have a panty problem with people who call themselves Jesus. The Lord liketh them not, and therefore the Lord calleth down a mighty plague upon their farms!

You have a decent setup there but not very god-like. Why do you go back and forth through the HPS and the Halide. My suggestion to you is to buy some of Hortilux's new HPS/MH bulbs. Thats right two bulbs in one! It consist of a 400w HPS and a 600w MH in the same bulb! No other bulb can compare. Just put it in your Hps hood and your good to go. I like the freezer, that is using your MacGyverism. It looks to me that you should also provide more ventilation and you should have a good harvest. One question though does the freezer affect your humidity because plaants need a dry room to grow in. The are way more tolerant of heat than they are of humidity. Good Luck Almighty

...buy some of Hortilux's new HPS/MH bulbs... plaants need a dry room to grow in... The are way more tolerant of heat than they are of humidity... Good Luck Almighty

The Lord is not interested in 400/600 lamps. Too puny. So sayeth the Lord!

For ventilation, the room useth a 172 CFM centrifugal fan on a line voltage thermostat, which constantly cycles on and off to maintain 68F. The room is 1024 cu ft, so even on the coldest days, when the fan only runneth about 30 seconds/minute, the room is still completely air exchanged every 24 minutes.

The Lord absolutely disagreeth with your opinion on plants needing "a dry room," and of being more tolerant of heat than humidity. The Lord uses the Holy DIY Super Humidamuhfuckah 9000GT to provideth his children with beautiful moist air, and runneth his room at 55-60% RH.

Peace & Love
J.H.C.

You are mistaken O Lord. These lights have no comparison. They are state of the art. Take a look at the future of indoor growing.

They put out 110,000 lumes. At 1 sq. meter that is 110,000 lux The brightest the sun gets here on planet earth is 132,000 lux.So 1000w HPS with 30,000 lumes/30,000 lux @ 1 sq. meter, are "puny" in comparison. Have no worries though it works with 1000w HPS ballast. Good luck in getting the bulbs cheap. Hortilux sells them to Distributors at $140 and the mark-up is close to double. I can get them at close to wholesale in Cali. Good luck wherever you are. As far as humidity goes I would like to inform you that plants grow through transpiration. kinda similar to perspiration

. If the air is more receptive (dry) of the plants transpiration the easier it is on the plant. Not to mention that you are only trying to grow Marijuana. You don't want mold, mildew or any other living organisms in your nursery besides yourself. I treat my room like a laboratory and it treats me like a king!
