this whole thing runs off of a bunch of 2 liter or 3 liter bottles that have had the bottoms cut off them just screw them on and fire it up and your off and running :) got the whole setup for under 60 bucks and it hold 11 plants would be perfect for short auto-flowering strains.

OK people we all don't have thousands of dollars to throw at every grow op we set up this is the place to tell of all the ways you have ever cut corners to save/shave off that few extra dollars to save money or ways you have found to just make killer bud. everything from DIY projects you have...

I honestly don't know if it is ever too late to start with the ole molasses trick but i know all through a grow it will sometimes work as a cure all for not so perky plants when all else fails and i know it does make a difference during budding so if i was you i would go ahead with it but that...

AWESOME NEWS !! Hope to be reading your journal soon !!:weed:

i don't know what nutrients your using but i know from my experience if your getting yellow on the leaves it could be N deficiency or maybe over watering .. hard to tell some plants are way oversensitive also so id try a little of everything and just go one step at a time .. good luck !! :)

lol maybe you called it a runt too loudly in public and it is just really mad at you :)

just keep it right off the top of the plants and they get nice amounts of light with decent penatration and as for the growing 8 plants indoors .. count em :) i always start clones in my closet before i transplant them for the final push but due to a new way of doing things was tought to...

what i would do personally is find a way to put one up high and put one down low unless your going to lollipop it then i would go with both right over the top of the plant as close as you could get them

there is a little more to it then just tossing some seeds in the dirt and a few months later you get weed .. lol i recommend reading all the new grower and help threads you can and especially everything on lighting and heat and nutrient needs .. good luck !! :bigjoint:

YES that is exactly what it means.. they can use a infra red scopes and see the rooms with the high output lights in them and it also makes the plants heat up and they can see them too .. that is why alot of these big time growers have to spend thousands of dollars on their cooling equipment so...

I have CFL's in every fixture in my house .. so i was hip to the amount they can save you on your bill even before i was using them to grow with but my main reason is their low heat signature because we get ALOT of flyovers here and last thing i need is them coupling a super high electric bill...

what i would do is since you already started your grow with the 400 watts light i'd just continue with it then also bloom with it too then for your next grow if you feel you positively have to run that monster then use it for your bloom cycle and use CFL's for your veg that will allow you for...

Nook is another cfl grower .. welcome to the ranks man .. i went to cfl's 2 years ago when i got good and fed up with outrageous power bills that caused many a sleepless paranoid night .. and i never looked back .. glad glad to see another of us join RIU. My precious babies...

I personally think your lighting is overkill and i run CFL's for my whole grow :) .. no wattage problems no high bills .. and smoke lots of bomb ass dope :weed: .. Dude i understand your probably running that grow for distribution but you dont have to burn down your house to get killer weed ...

Read the entire thread and haven't seen to many posts of CFL's in action .. so gonna post some :) mmmmmmmmmmmm LOVE my CFL's :)

then your ass goes to jail for being a rotten thief .. cant say i would feel sorry for them either .. we might be potheads people but there is no excuse for thievery :-? congratulations .. BLEW MY BUZZ DAMN-IT !!

:leaf: Glad to hear your considering CFL's .. you will be amazed .. just run your lights about 2-4 inches off the tops of the plants and check them every couple days to make sure they aren't up in the hood and they are about 50 times easier to use i think :) just make sure you use LOTS of...
