Thanks Doobs
I plan on posting pictures after harvest...because thats everyones favorite part right? My next grow will be Sweet Tooth. Even though i still have a White Widow x Mako Haze than has quite a ways to go in flowering. But im excited to start some Sweet Tooth as soon as i can
Sweet tooth is a good strain haven't had it in like a year. However with that said if you like the Sweet tooth, try God bud, good strain.
Awesome definitely post pics of harvest, but if you need help with the harvest window you're more than welcome to post pics as well. Either way we all enjoy the pics.
hei, everybody, see my plants under 250W MH, this is my first time growing , just give me some suggestion,
plants are around 45days,
Welcome to the club Koma, your plants are looking great, keep it up. The only suggestion I have being a soil grower myself, is to trim the bottoms a bit. You want to palm (Cut off leaves/nodes) it about 3-4 inches up from top soil. This will provide good airflow and prevent pests and mold.
Hope this helps and again great looking plants.
I m using a 250 watt hps at the momment.. my plants are still veging as u can see on my journal.. But atm i m trying to simulate dawn with cool white cfls which fire up 20 minuites before my hps, continue running together with my hps for 6 hours to simulate sun rising and then they are turned off so the hps runs alone in order to look like evening.. is this any good at all? or i m just wasting power while running those cfls?
The cool white spectrum is closer to the bloom/red/orange spectrum. I'd recommend Day light CFL's for veg. The reason is well if you're using a HPS already then you already have a great red/orange spectrum going. Veg likes the more Blue spectrum of light. Daylight CFL's put out the blue spectrum. For the most natural light, you want to mix both Blue and orange/red spectrums together and make sure you have 10k lumens per sq ft (That is probably the closest you can get to mimicking the sun). That will mimic the sun the best, dawn is already simulated when the lights turn on, because when the light is turned on the plants start uptaking nutrients again from the root system, when the lights turn off the nutrients go back into the root system, that's why soil growers harvest in the dark.
Hope this helps and welcome to the club.
I have 3 white widows and two lowryder 2's under a 250 watt hps and 2 CFL's at the min in a closet with mylar surrounding, 3 weeks flowering and the widows are two foot,lowryders 2 and a half. I run the hps about 8 inchs above the plants and bring the CFl's as close as i can get them, i'll ge some pics up later this is my 3'rd grow with this light and I always get a decen =t yield of dank shit.
Welcome to the Club Irish, if you can get your light closer 4-6 inches above the canopy you will get better lumens, light penetration, and denser buds. If your temps can take it, try it out you'll be satisfied.
