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

[Chiceh]

My dogs love it, they could play in it for hours. They are both the same size and basically the same age, so they like to go at it hard. Wrestling around in the snow. I had to shovel again after hubby and I did it this morning. I am just waiting for the stupid plow to go by and then we will have a mountain at the end of the driveway to clear way. . I hate winter all ready.

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.

 

[Lacy]

Oh gosh! My dogs couldn't even get outside. It was just way too deep. The poor girls. Ones only 6 lbs. and the other only 12 lbs. so they are small. Our shepherd would have had no problem either.

Hubby cleared the driveway (100feet) with the snowblower but then hours later the driveway didn't even look done. We had all kinds of drifts here and it was bad. It's still dark but later I will take some more pics. I need to find my, "let it snow " thread. I'll post what it looks like up here in central ontario.

My plants are looking so much better since I set up the new lights. I don't need the other lights that I have but will soon. These things grow so fast. I think I am gonna veg for about 10 weeks and then flower.

hey Lacy..your plants are looking nice...the stem on the one in the pic was huge already.
I am still jealous of the snow, but I guess if we got that much everything here would just shut down.

 

[Lacy]

Thanks Bongspit. Yes it does have a thick stem. My plants are doing so much better now that i have added some more light. I transplanted all of them but two and those ones are about 1/2 the size of the ones I transplanted. It just goes to show you how important it is for root growth and general plant growth to transplant at the right times. I got lazy. i will do the other two today.
I am so glad i have this little grow room. It is working out just fine.ight now I only have 154 watts of grow light on them but my MH should be coming in this week and now that I found the extra 4 x 40 watt cfl that will be great until I am ready to flower.
By that time I will have my hps. Its all going good.

Nothing like feeling invisible.

my dogs are 1 and 2 years old and have never seen snow,proper snow, we havent had anything you could call snow for 4 years, hoped we would get some this year, but now its too cold. never mind theres still hope.

 

[Lacy]

Oh bummer crazy. My dogs love the snow and they have so much fun and look so darn cute! I will take some pics of them and post here for you to see. They are just the cutest.

I am getting my MH light today. Yahooooooo! I am really excited. Now I need to change the room around a bit more. My plants are growing so fast now.

I'll post a pic of my light later when I pick it up.

My dogs are one and two years also crazy.

My ballast did come in and I really like it. I may decide to purchase a new bulb only because I don't know how long this one has been used for. I am also impressed with the 4 bottles of DNF nutrients because they are all different for different stages and some have not even been opened.

One corner of the ballast at the top has a bit of a bend but hopefully it is nothing more than cosmetic.

This came just in time because my plants are starting to fill out and touch.
Here is a pic below of my new light.
The GREAT thing about this is I had no idea that Sun System was out in Vancouver Canada. I can purchase a new one and not worry about duty.

Oh life is good!

My poor friend that I usually get my bud from can't find anything this time of year. It looks like he needs his present early this year.

 

[girlyhits]

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:

LOL - boy I know what you mean Lacy. My husband was paraniod about the electric bill (till I showed him the last bill and it was less than last year! I switched to cfl throughout the home). But now he's just paraniod about something different. Last night he was standing right outside my grow closet and asked me 'are they stinking yet?' Hum..... well if you can't smell it a yard away I think we are safe dear...

 

[Lacy]

Yes exactly. It starts to get just a TAD annoying after a while. And they say we are the whiners.
I do have cfl's throughout the entire house even in the basement.
I'll get the light I want and need one way or another. I am looking into a Sun system 5 either 600 watt or 1000 watt.
It has a built in air cooled ballast. Nice!

I am just setting up a 100 watt MH light. I was going to put it in between the two fluorescent lights but now that I am in my grow room, it doesn't look like a good idea because this light probably needs to be higher than my cfl's.

Help is urgently needed here. I have the chain, S hooks, and cutters all ready to go.

Anyone? Hubby is gone.

its no problem. I have a 150watt HPS. I am sure the heat is a bit hotter than yours and I had my light 6 inches to a foot away. You will notice a HUGE differnce when you add the light your plants will LOVE it! just add another fan it will be alot warmer in your space.

 

[Lacy]

Thank you very much. I don't want to fry my plants over night. I think I will first hang it 1 foot away and see how they response. I would rather have it a tad too far than too close and have them shrivel up on me.

Cool Mattso. Thats just the info I need.

Thanxxxxxxxx!!!

Your Husbands are a little whiney.but its only fair I guess. I live with my girlfreind and grow in OUR closet. At first she ws not really cool with me growing and was paro at times. But she was impressed with the yield my first grow and impressed the amout of $ we saved not buying weed anymore. They will soon lear ounce they see the jars full of nice nugs. I am just glad the my girlfriend agrees with me about growing even though a little paranoid at times.

 

[mattso101]

No prob I would hang it high aswell since your not awake to moniter temps. Remember lots of air movment on that hot light! I had a little desk fan blowing right at 150 watt

 

[Lacy]

Its not like this is new to him. The thing is he doesn't smoke BUT he doesn't like the amount of money I can spend on my weed. So NO I don't blame him at all but after being with him for 18 yrs now and growing for 15 of them, you would think he would be getting used to it by now.

He does take an interest in it but usually only when they are at the end of flowering. Then I can't seem to keep him away from my plants. He always has his nose in them.

He is the one who nagged me to start growing some seeds. Now that I have the seeds started I am kinda on my own here.

We have lots of room here. We own a house and there is only the two of us. He is not normally a paranoid person and i don't know where this comes from all of a sudden.

It is in a very well ventilated area so i am too worried about the heat right now.

Its most likley his time of month. Haha, seriously men go through hormonal changes through out the month aswell. My girlfreind also like to let me know. "Ha you got PMS too"

Thanks Lacy for stopping by, came to check out your new system, haven't seen any images yet except for the ballast, I'm assuming you're still working on it, can't wait to see your setup, as arnold schwarzenegger stated ..I'll Be Bock!

 

[Lacy]

Yeah its probably true and normally I would laugh BUT as it turns out >I am the one with it.

Sooooooo yes I got it hung up now and I will take some pics of it. Its only a small little light but I just love it.
Its really BRIGHT for only 100 watts that I can't imagine what a 1000 watt MH must be like.
Recently I read that it is a good idea to wear a good pair of sunglasses when you go to attend your plants because the lights can damage your eyes.

My hubby fishing glasses sure will come in handy.

Oh I am so bad!

Its nothing to get too excited about Humboldt. My 100 watt sun system fell through. The guy made the wrong calculations when he listed it and when I bid it put in a total cost of shipping to canada at $16. He said that if I gave him an extra $50 that he would send it, so I did. Then he said that he can't ship it for less than $200 and refunded my money.

I am now looking into a sun system 7 (dual spectrum). Its really nice plus now that I have more lights for the time being, I can be more selective about the one I want for my new grow room.

So basically all I have now to show is only a 100 watt MH light with a few plants under it.

Some of these plants are a little over a month and some are a little under a month. They are about 4 weeks average.

The pic with the plant with big droopy leaves I think is mango and I have 3 of them.

The one pic with a few grouped together I only took for the pic. I don't have any of my plants touching at all.

And just a reminder: This is only a temporary grow site for now. (under my stairs) but it works for now.
