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

[Lacy]

Thanks HoLe! Yes they are fat leaves huh?
No I do not have the 1000 watt yet. the sun system fell through but I am looking at a better one now so its all good. I new when the deal fell throught hat it mean that something better is meant to happen. I'm optimistic.

I just got the 100 watt because it was only $50 with 4 full bottles of DNF food.

I presently have 424 watts of growing light and now that hubby is off work for THREE WEEKS , we will have time to make the room.

We have a roughed in bathroom with the pumbing all set up and ready to go. I am planning on making it an 8 x 5 getting a 100 watt with a light mover.

Hubby doesn't know yet BUT he will find out AFTER I purchase.

AND HoLe! No dude. I will ALWAYS still grow outdoors. Why wouldn't I? Its so easy and I have the privacy. Plus I love growing outdoors. I love being outdoors.
Being indoors too much depresses me.

Two 600 watts would really be PUSHING it.
I still want a hubby.

wow Lacy,,lookin nice,,some fat leaves,,,,you still haven't got a light yet,,I mean a big one,,get a 1000 watt,,or 2-600's hps,,,you will prolly stop growin outside once you figure things out indoors,,if yur usin an old wannabe bathroom,,if my stoner mind remembers this correctly,,2-600's would be nice,,end of story

Keep on Growin

HoLE

Thanks Gygax.
I'm not feeding them anything right now. I am doing the same thing I did with me outdoor grow only I have them in a mixture of MG and another potting mixture with nutes added.
Later as I transplant I add more neutral potting mix (I have a huge square container of it) and gradually start to feed every 2nd or 3rd watering. Then 2 weeks into flowering I switch the nutrients. By the time I am really to flower the potting soil with added nutes is spent or depleted. (So I have more of a neutral potting mix but with DNF (Dutch Nutrient Formula)
Its an organic formula that I find works great. There are different ones for different plant stages.

When I purchased my little 100 watt MH light for $50 it came with 4 full bottles of DNF (all stages of the plant growth)

What are you growing now? I will have to go check it out. you usually have some very interesting stuff growing.

Wow they look good and a lot like mango, good work Lacy, what are you feeding them?

It doesn't sound like you are enjoying school much Kant.
Thats too bad.
I'm not sure why you have to order seeds at a certain time. I suppose it has to do with school and where you are and all.
ATA tundra sounds scary almost. Sounds wicked too

I have a bunch of different strains but so far I have only been able to pick out mangohopefully I will be able to pick out more once they flower.

My friend called me up and said he had somehting for me so I went to visit him and he gave me a 1/4 of bubble gum. OMG! It really does taste like bubble gum.
Nice christmas gift. Nice friend.

Have a great holiday kant.

here's ata tundra: Ata Tundra Seeds - cannabis seeds

I want to get seeds as early in january(but not in december because i won't be here) as i can, so that i can get a good harvest/cure done for 4/20 Last year i didn't time it right and i was late by a couple of weeks.

 

[Humboldt]

Damn that mango is looking nice, glad to hear your computer is working better, sweet you get to spend quality time with your hubby and top it off a new grow room, HOOAH!! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with....


PS: I've always planned on getting a hid but wasn't in a rush, however you and others are helping me change my mind on getting one sooner than later (may take kindprincess up on that offer) although I am perfectly happy with the results I'm getting, I could keep pumping out chunks of bud every month or two and be happy, after all I'm not trying to sell or impress anybody other than myself but I do want to see the difference other than the growth rate..

 

[Lacy]

OMG Kant!
From now on you are known as 'bad*ss bud bat!!!

What a great find. Early flowering, frost resistant.
What an interesting mix of strains.
Now I have to have some of this for next grow.

This knowing about strains is really contagious. I have a HUGE list of wanna-gets now.

It would be very exciting producing your very own strain.

Thats a project in the future making. Gotta try that some day.

I thought your plant timing had to do with school somehow.
Your life sounds very hectic Kant.

Yes some quality time with hubby is always the best gift to me. He might say differently but

He took off early this morning at about 5:30 this morning because he wants to pick up one last gift for me.

He's such a sweetheart. My ROCK! My everything.

Yes I think this is going to be a really nice room. We haven't got much done except clear away the space and take measurements and buy supplies. Its a big project but it should prove very rewarding.
Hubby is always up for a challenge.
I think I will show him some of the other grow rooms.

You really ought to try a HID light. They really are something else. The difference is incredible. Almost like comparing chalk and cheese.

The main thing I am taking into consideration when looking to get a light is:

#1- Safety - I want to make sure the equipment I get is the safest there is. PERIOD! No if's or but's about it. I won't skimp out for safety. NO way! No how!

How up to date is it? You want something fairly recent otherwise you probably are going to spend more in extra electricity.

Air-cooled? I am seriously considering making mine air-cooled because from all of what I have heard, those fans in the lights will cool off a small room.
Thats piece of mind.

With all the latest technology, you can purchase a new light with all the works for a very reasonable price.
They even are digitally balanced and everything.
Latest technology. Go for the best Humboldt. Take your time. You've waited this long. You might as well do your research and get what best suites you but it is a big investment and not something that you want to regret purchasing later.

Have a great holiday HB!

I am glad my sun system 6 did not come through because now I have found another solution which buys me a bit more time to make a wiser decision.

 

[Humboldt]

Thanks a lot Lacy for taking the time to help with the lighting etc.., much appreciated, you have a good holiday as well .. may it be the best.... Oh and have a happy new year, I know I'm gunna

 

[Lacy]

You are most welome HB. I know choosing a light system is a BIG decision. I have been looking around for some time but am glad that I have. There are so many options. I LOVE the HID lights.

You have a great holiday also.

I dropped my old cannon powershot and I really loved it and got a panasonic a few months back that I really do not like so we are gonna sell it.
I now have another nice Cannon again and it takes great shots. no messing around with it.
So I will gladly add some pics a bit later.
