WTF I hate this laptop I just had a book typed of a reply for you bro but I must have hit wrong keys and navigated back to the user control panel. :(


Anyway in short. Keep up the good work. CFL's work great, LST helps, place them where the best fit your area and place them 1-1.5" from canopy/branches.

man same thing here tried answering your seed question on my "smartphone" and it erased me.

what do you think of me putting one of the bulbs done in the space between all four plants to give the lower buds some light?

I think you won't be disapointed. I'm considering adding some CFL's to my flower room near the bottoms of the plant and I'm using a 600watt HPS and it penetrates well but still some small spots that need more light.

Thanks I love that movie.

Use 2700K or 3100K CFL bulbs for flower or a mix of 2700K and 6400K

6400K or Daylight CFL's are blue spectrum more suited for veg and 2700K are red looking more suited for flowering.

Turn the two on next to each other and the difference is distinguished quickly.


I'm so psyched about switching to DWC. I'm having fungus gnat larvae problems in my LA's that are finishing soon :( Must be from the flood soggy soil attracted them.

I thought I nutrient burned two of my LA's(which was weird because others are same age and same strength and no signs of burn at all they actually still look hungry.) Turns out these larvae are eating my roots and it shows in the leaves like nute burn or a deficiencies.

Have to go back to work tomorrow. Will pick up some mosquito dunks hopefully tomorrow and maybe some axamax if budget allows I may just have to use the little bit of azamax I have left.

sweet can't wait to go get them. do you suggest I get some reflectors as well? like the clamp on work light kind?

That is why I'm so hesitant to do a soil grow, haven't had a bug problem yet and don't wanna have to deal with one. mosquito dunks??

4/18/11 UDATE: once again the buds have gotten huge over night. had to raise the lights up due to the buds growing so much over night they where touching the bulbs! beautiful can't wait to see some beautiful crystals start forming.

On a side note does anybody know how to make Butane Honey Oil??? I've seen the youtube videos of how to make the extractor and all but nobody is real specific on how much to pack in etc etc. any help much appreciated. definitely going to get the most out of every single part of these plants.

I've only used those reflectors that come with them for a short amount of time. So much of the bulb is up in the reflector and I think they do better without it. Just keep them close and watch them.

Not sure about the butane honey oil thing.

Yeah, makes sense. I'll just take the reflector off of them, don't want any hot spots anyway.

Youtube it, I'm definitely going to try it out. That honey is usually 80 to 90 percent pure THC !

4/19/2011 UDATE: having to steadily move the lights up a link or two every day, hope this stretch stops soon. Buds are getting bigger every day and absolutely no problems so far.
bout to storm, hopefully the power doesn't go off again before the lights turn off for the day.

Temp: 75-78 (need to get the temps down so I can get the purple color in them)
RH : 10-16%
PH : 6.3 (res was also about a gallon low, added two ml of nutes to res recheck and lower to 5.7)

4/20! Hope everyone is toking away this fine day.

Had a nice wake and bake before heading into the grow room this morning. Tucked a few more leaves and cut a couple off because they where depriving the lower buds of light.

I started this grow with two strong plants and two runty plants. One of the runts is taller than the two strong ones but that last runt is only half the size of the other girls and has horrible bud production on the main colas. hopefully these CFL bulbs im putting in will catch her up. going to dedicate two bulbs just to that plant. IF she doesnt catch up and ends up with nothing but popcorn nugs I'll just use the entire plant with the rest of the trimmings for BHO.

The rest of the girls have very nice bud production and I'm predicting very dense nugs out of them.

Looking good bro. Those CFL's should help for sure. Happy 420, I'm sick as a dog on my favorite holiday. I took off work today, I just went down and snipped a small bud off one of the LA's to smoke with the wife tonight.

Those are going to be some nice buds bro. IDK If your like me but I get so impatient when they start packing on weight, but I still never harvest early hehe. They'll be ripe before you know it.

ouch sorry to hear that bro, I had to work today and it sucked. yearning for weed the entire day. howd the la woman turn out?

Trust me I'll never harvest early. I will immediately make hash or bho upon trimming the buds etc but ill wait for a proper dry and cure before sampling.

Surprisingly the small buds I snipped at day 41 got me more baked then the regs I have. Yeah never harest early or you will always wonder "what if...?"

Things are looking good bro, took some cuts tonight. Put a dehumidifier in the flower room. Going to get some ass and get some sleep. Keep it GREEN!
