Lacy's Indoor Grow??? (lots of questions)

[Lacy]

Thanks bwinn and crazy. its good to know I am not the only one.

Hey godspeed!
I've never heard of satori. What type of weed is that like?


Its funny you mentioned the fishing and christmas because I just finished posting about it again.

I got him a few cool looking lures (a variety) some polarized fishermans glasses, of course the mentioned fishing pole which came the other day Oh man!!!!

Now he is practicing his casts in our living room. the dogs and cat go nuts not to mention that it is a TAD annoying for me while I am trying to watch my Oprah show.

I am going to get a subscription to a good fishing magazine but am not sure which one to get. Any ideas?
We live in canada.

And another thing I am looking into but not having much success is getting a 'pattern' to make fishing pole holders.'
He would really enjoy doing something like this and I bid a lot of guys that he works with would love for him to make them one. It could be a good part time job for him.

Besides fishing, that is his most favourite hobby...woodworking.

Thanks for asking godspeed. I hope you get started on your grow. Its really is exciting. i know I presently have enough weed to last me ages but just the thought of NOT growing anything really kinda sucked after the last harvest.

Gotta go make dinner.
Bye!

Thanks so much Hole. I was hoping that it would be something local. If I get any kind of fishing magazine then they might be talking about fish that aren't in his area.
Good one!!!!! Gracious muchooooo!!!!

My sun system 1000 watt fell through. Bummer. the guy lives in the states and put an ad in for this light. When I bid it automatically put in the set shipping price and I paid for it. Apparently it was wrong so he asked for another $50 so I sent it to him. Then he said that it would cost him $200 to ship the light to Canada and then refunded all my money.
Bummer!

I do have the sun system MH 100 watt light coming this week and I got hubby to hand over his workshop light for me and another small one. Now I am up to 180 watts of light and soon 380 watts of light.

I also looked into a 400 watt hps complete system. They only live about a 15 minute drive from here. With my fluorescents the MH light and this, I think it will be good.
Later on I can get another 400 watts or 600 watts and then have both.

I'm wondering if a 400 watt hps and a 400 watt MH separate but close together would be similar to the dual spectrum.

Anybody has any comments and or thoughts?

For having only 64 watts of cfl light my babies aren't too bad.

I just wanted to post a pic of this particular one because of its HUGE leaves. I have grown many plants but I have never grown one with leaves THIS BIG before. They are crazy.

I got an indoor mix and once again have no idea of the strains I am growing but the good thing is they are all indoor strains.

It only just dawned on me the other day that most of my strains I had growing outside last summer and fall were probably indoor strains. Not that it makes a HUGE difference but I am sure it would make some.

Some people here have said that they noticed some mango amongst my babies because of the very flat leaves. Maybe these are also the mango.

Does anybody know, just out of curiousity.

here are mine until yesterday they only had 30 watts. but now they 60 watts.
here are some pics. day 15 from seed. ive topped all 5 of them some on the 2nd node and 3 on the 3rd. there doing fine so far. i took them out of the long pot, yesterday and put them in sep. pots. i didnt loose any roots when i transplanted.
pics. i find it easyer when the plants are in there first weeks. to put the plants in a box type thing, and place the lites on top over the plants.

Cool pics crazy. That plant I posted is only just over 3 weeks old. I will post something there to compare it with later to show how big the leaves are.

 

[crazy-mental]

the 3rd pic down can you see how speckled the plant is growing, light and dark green.
dont know why.

 

[Lacy]

I wouldn't worry about it crazy. It looks good to me.
The main thing is your plant looks solid and stable. You did just top them so it will stunt their growth for a while but they will be fine. I have had some speckled leaves and I just take them off after a while. Just not at the same time as I top them.

Aren't you also getting a new lighting system?

Omg guys! My 1000 watt system fell through BUT hubby work up this morning and said that he just remembered that he has another light. Its a 4 x 40 watt cfl. Thats another 160 watts that I can use so I am not too worried about my lighting now. We just finished looking at it.

64 watts cfl
80 watts cfl
160 watts cfl
100 watt MH
--------------
504 watts of light PLUS I am looking at a 400 watt hps today.

I think this is good enough wattage for now without increasing the hydro too much. That is hubby's MAIN concern so now we are both happy.

Thanks gygax,
Hey did you check out the picture of the plant I posted. I think it might be the mango you were tlaking about. It has these HUGE massive leaves. I've never seen such big leaves on a plant before.

I got up extra early today and started building up my temporary grow room. Its about 6 x 4 feet and I covered the walls with white for reflective material and put up my lights better.

I have 164 watts of light on one side, right beside will be the 100 watt MH light and then right next to that I have 160 watts of cfl's with the grow lights.

I think until I get my grow room finished, which will be the end of the month, this will do nicely. It worked out a lot betetr than I expected, so now I am glad my 1000 watt didn't come through. Tiis way I can gradually increase my wattage instead of wasting it.

You should be good Lacy you definitely want that HPS for flower, good luck. So far so good, eh? Sorry I'm not a canuck but I like saying eh, lol.

 

[Lacy]

Thanks HoLe. Yes I definitely am going to get either a 400 hps or a 600 hps. The great thing is I now have enough wattage to keep me going and my plants look great for just over three weeks.

Its all good. He's happy now and with the work I just put into the small grow area I now have the room. It looks pretty good. I am happy with it.

Now I don't have to be in such a hurry to get another suitable light. Thanks for the tips Hole. I didn't think of some of those. We do have those cfl's all throughout the house due to my depression so we don't have a huge hydro bill to begin with. Yes we do have a house. A 3 bedroom.

And I thought I was the paranoid one.

Are ya snowed in yet HoLe. Isn't this insane?
I love it but hubby here is freakin' cause he is suppose to be on 3 mights until his Xmas holidays.

I see you stayed home.

Yep, looks pretty damn close to a Mango, but when you start to flower is when we can really tell. Also like Hole said it's not too much, did you know most small space heaters are 1500 watts, nobody worries about them....good luck

 

[Lacy]

Oh I know that. My hubby is freakin' for nothin'.
I really wish he'd knock it off 'cause I am NOT paranoid BUT if he keeps it up I AM GONNA BE!!!cuss:

Hey Lacy, dug out yet from all this snow?

 

[Lacy]

No yet! Hubby shovelled enough of the driveway so he can get to work and did paths outside for the dogs. They didn't know what to think when we went to let them out and it was over their heads. You should have seen their poor faces.
Its was like they gave us the finger and said take a hike guys, we're not dragging our butts in that.
