A lil update. as of now i got 169 total wattage of cfl bulbs 4 on top in a power strip and one bulb on each side of her using the light clamps but without the clamps. I cut them off. Ill put pics up soon.
ive tried working my ways to get the lights on the side. but its kind of a small space in there and not a lot to work with. so im doing my best. i switched my little power strip with the bigger one now so i can use more lights... do you see the tips of the leaves at all and the little bit of yellowing? i know its not hot for the plant. so drying of the leaves isnt the problem... im not too worried about the bottom leaves as long as the new growth is doing fine than i have no worriesAll seems well man.
Remember you get more from the CFLs from the sides, just pointing them forward towards the plant like you are you might be losing a some lumens.
But at this point you seem to have good coverage anyways, so keep it up!
ok. as long as she is growing and looking healthy thats all that matters. and also im hoping she might stretch a little bit now as the 4 bulbs up top are 4-5 inches from the plant. i want her to stretch out a bit and get the new branches longer so i can take 2 clones in the next week or so before i put her into flower.The tips could have something to do with what's in the soil, I don't think it is feeding.
If new growth is healthy, I would keep an eye on it but I wouldn't worry about it right now.
Thank you very much!!! i appreciate the time you took to check it out and read the whole forum!!! your more than welcome to keep tabs on my 2nd attempt at indoor growingwell that was a good read! That's a nice stocky looking bush you got there chiefsirbong420! GL with the cloning, makes things much easier once you get the hang of it.
Good Job and good luck!
yeah, this is my journal/thread hahais that a different thread or are you using this one? I always love watching things go from baby to smoke!
Maybe you should try use something reflective behind the lights, cardboard painted flat white or flat white paper, not sure if it's worth the effort though. When I started out a few months ago, I grabbed cardboard box from the microwave I bought and painted it flat white and put the plant inside with the lights. I have pic's somewhere I will post them if I find them if you interested.ive tried working my ways to get the lights on the side. but its kind of a small space in there and not a lot to work with. so im doing my best. i switched my little power strip with the bigger one now so i can use more lights... do you see the tips of the leaves at all and the little bit of yellowing? i know its not hot for the plant. so drying of the leaves isnt the problem... im not too worried about the bottom leaves as long as the new growth is doing fine than i have no worries
Ooops, sorry missed that, I just wanted to show off my knowledge, you should know me by now chiefs, always looking for attention.Thanks for the ideas bro but the whole closet is white on the inside
OK, now quit fucking with it and let it grow.did my transplant today im going to let her grow a bit more before i send into flower in 3 weeks. i moved her into a 2 gallon bucket and also put wood steaks around on the inside and duct taped (yea ghetto rigged) the bulbs to the wood so she will get more light from the lights as they are on the sides
