About to change out the 20 watt bulbs for the 40, other than that...not much to report. Going to test out 6 of the 40 watters with a 3 liter bottle full of ice to try to keep things cool as well as raise humidity..yesterday the humidity dropped to 20 for a short period, usually stays around 30%...

A little bit more about my set up. We're gonna call this the "tape and reuse grow" because thats pretty much what I did. I taped a few pieces of old black/white poly back together and made a curtain to hang in the middle of my closet, don't have exact measurements of the area but by eyeing it...

OK I left off attempting to get a PC grow up and running, didn't happen. Heat was too much and my PC fans weren't strong enough to take it on. So...back to the closet. And in here, running another Skunk #1 already a seedling with first true leaves, 4 days old. I also have a Emerald Jack in for...

Well...still having temp. troubles. 85+ is not what I want. Going to be switching the fans around, try a few things to see if I can get that to around 80 max. Any helpful tips would be great. If I cant get the temps. under control, I'll probably drop a bulb and turn it into a veg box. Be back in...

Damn...June was the last time I was here? I'll be honest, I got busy..forgot I was doing a journal. Well, just a little info. about the last grow, it didn't get as much attention as I planned on giving it, barely any at all. Only pulled slightly under 17 grams :(. The cola weighed in around 8...

Well just a little update. Nothing too big yet, of course. Buds that are receiving good light look fantastic for being 3 1/2 weeks into flowering. Guessing anywhere from 3-4 weeks to go. Going out Monday to get something more proper for the rest of the flowering period, cutting out the...

Don't be afraid to post pictures either. Just make sure you have nothing personal in the picture and you're fine.

I only remove growth at the bottom that aren't available to receive that much or any light. Unless you're topping or something. Some people say 1 gallon of medium per each month the plant is alive. Others can make it through a whole grow in a 20oz bottle. I tend to go with 3 gallon. And as far...

Lights got turned on about 20 minutes or so ago. Crystals are building up very nicely, wish I could get a few close up shots. The smell is starting to come in as well, awesome. No noticeable changes other than that. Expecting the buds to start bulking up here soon, hopefully. But, for a grow...

Based off the fact that CFLs have very limited penetration. Now you can have as big a plant as you want, but considering we're all in it for the bud (and the love of the plant), you want as much and biggest buds possible. For that to happen with CFLs, the best way is to keep your plants short...

Well, just turned the lights on. Still have a gnat problem I failed to mention before. Pretty bad too. Unfortunately, the neem I have isn't working for this one so I'm going to get some fly paper for em when I can. Along with that comes some sort of deficiency. My guess is not enough P-K. And...

Well I have a total of six on one plant, all 40 watts (2600lm/ea). 4 above the cola and two kinda off to the sides. Now, it is not enough to achieve good buds off the bottom part of the plant but that's pretty much my fault. Actually, I'm considering chopping off all the bottom growth so the...

Thank you! Finally some interest. I haven't been able to offer RIU much entertainment due to me always having to move. But yea growing is addicting, I enjoy both equally. But yea thanks and keep checking back. Or if you have any tips/advice to offer, always welcome.

First picture is the light fixture. Has flaws but not going to fix em' til my next grow. Second is just a picture of the plant after I watered. Third is me trying to angle this damn thing to get a picture of the plant from the top. Conclusion: I need to catch my bills up then invest in a good...

Pistils are popping up everywhere. This plant got TALL, a lot taller than I wanted. I don't have my tape measure but I feel comfortable saying we're right around 20 in. I made 2 light fixtures so right now I'm thinking of the best way to work that one in, mainly to get a bulb on each side of the...

Oh and if you can, try and find you some 40+ watt CFLs.

CFLs don't put off much heat. Don't be afraid to let them barely touch the leaves. A few small burns here and there won't affect the plant aside from the burns. But, of course, don't let the light touch the buds. You want them about 2-3 inches away from your plants, max. Also, keeping the lights...

Well, it's been a rough ride but I finally got a LITTLE something going. Here's some catch up info. I started 2 seeds, a Skunk #1 and a Grapefruit Krush. The grapefruit was a sad little plant that for one reason or another wasn't impressive, it got the chop. However, my skunk is looking nice...

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Things have been delayed, delayed and delayed. But, I'm finally there. Testing things out tonight-tomorrow, make sure no heat issues. I'll be running 12 bulbs total, all 26/27 watts pushing 1500-1600 lumens ea. I have 2 PC fans exhausting with 2 more holes cut awaiting PC fans, 2 4 in. fans...
