sounds like it. just loweryour feed next watering and keep pluggin away. i am frequently burning my plants with haphazard measurements, but if you change what you wre doing, it's never any lasting damage other than a little rust as you say

cheers mate thought i'd better check with some1 it's the shooting powder i gave them sun night

Well half way through my hot n sour soup n special fried rice my G/F's mate turned up... unanounced people ... one of her friends that i wouldnt want a 3 some with, so time to escape lol...

You got a 600 and ballast for 100quid ..

nice .. i always figured it would be a lot more...
whats the floor space in the room your using it in again?

are you planning on using any of the MH along wiht the 600hps?. im thinking of that.. not sure if it would benefit... (my tents around 5' by 5' floor space. but only 4 - 6 plants)

Hey D2D... yup Digital ballast, 600W Grolux bulb, dimpled refelctor, all wiring for £100, should of been £290 but is on offer atm... Space in my room is 2'9w x 3'7d x 6'2h n i got just the 2 ladies in there this grow.
the glolux bulb is dual spectrum but im using 2 x 125CFL's for vegin, its not a dual ballast so im just gonna be using the HPS for the last week of veg and for flowering

i definately think cfl are the way to go when it comes to veg ok the growth is a little slower but makes no difference from what i can see so far and it's a shit load cheaper

My thinking exactly, and anything that can help keep the cost down is fine by me.

i can't wait to try some whilst flowering to see if they help

If u use them as side lighting or up lighting placed between ur plants they will definatly help with the lower buds... no more popcorn, although i am partial to a bit of butterkist

i've a half-working 300w cfl in my veg, the mothers are just loving it. i've been taking cuttings of exodus cheese just to throw in the bin. right now they are currently burning a few leaves against the bulb. i'm gonna swap it out for the 125w i've got lying around in a hope it'll make a difference

 

[W Dragon]

i was thinking as part of the main lighting 1000w of cfl wot do you think mate alonside 2x600w

ive got the 125's about 2" from the top of the plants atm, get a lil leaf curling, but thats coz i forget to move them up once the plant catches them, so the 125 should work much better.

i'm using a 150 at the mo over 10 little 1,s and they are very happy i'll be adding more over the coming days/weeks as needed i vegged with hps last time so far the only difference i can see i slower growth and that's marginal at this point

1000w of CFL along side 2x600w... how many plants u growin ?... some as uplights and some as side lighting, i think ur plants are gonna love ya mate, as well as the elec Co. lol

i was thinking about 18 clones for my first run to see how they go the plan is root for 10days then straight into flower 1 250w surrounded by 4 clones with the 600's overhead and rais the cfls to suit mate

Sounds ideal mate, your in for some healthy yields in the future i think.

i hope so mate it's gonna cost a small fortune to get there i think it's a lot of work though stoner mentality again lol

sounds like a plan m8 the cfls you have are they blue or red? if you got blues the mix of the lights blue cfl n red hps will give you stronger weed, i dont no the ins n outs but its sumfin to do with giving the plants both spectrums of light?

another thing the strains you got chronic n g13 might not react too well from going straight to flower, i dunno much about them but some strains do better than others straight from clone to flower.

Obviously all strains will produce more given some veg time might be an idea to see what they go like this run, but av your veg room up n running so your following batch will have been vegged.

and yeah cfls are wicked m8 ive used cfl and hps to veg b4 and much prefer the cfl gave me bushier plants and they just seemed that extra bit healthy.

Stoner mentality, might take us a while, n cost us a fortune, but its worth it in the long run lol

i,ve been hunting around for info and can't find alot but was advised this is a good plant to flower from clone i have no idea about the g13 but the chronic are primarily a heavy single cola strain and the clippings will come from mature mothers so hopefully that'll help aswell i'd like to try and keep them a bit smaller than the 1's i have now, i'm going to totally butcher the plants i have now so they'll all be clones, i only have the 1 150w at the mo i'm just gonna add them as needed it's blue vegging the little 1's in the wardrobe at the mo til the end of next wk or wk after, and i've got the cfl bug now i'm seriously impressed with the 150 i wasn't expecting it to do so well

i'm with you there mate if it gets the ball rolling it can't be bad it's done well by me so far and i'm hoping it continues

 

[sambo020482]

try the 250cfls then m8, thats all ive used i was the same i was fucking shocked how well a 250cfl vegged 2 plants it was them 2 that yielded the 13oz! but i also think that had alot to do with just 2 being under 1 600hps, but that 250cfl made them so bushy then when they got under the hps they went mental lol
