Actually temps are way lower than I expected. For now using only one computer fan to outtake heat from my DIY reflector. In total there is 1 150w hps and 2x 25W 6500K CFL. The light looks very similar to sunlight, not too yellow, not to blue. Bought another PC fan for $3 from those chinese...

absolutely man, interested how you will turn out :) good luck. and about the roommates like one guy mentioned in RIU - a friend with weed is a friend indeed, so I do understand you, I just do not get it how the hell you keep the odor out of your roommates noses :D cause for now only C99 gave me...

Well from pics very difficult to see things like reddish spots :) I'm not the experienced grower who's opinion you could trust. But here's my personal experience about water and ph. On my 0th grow I tried to keep soil somewhat wet and did not care a lot about ph. Well as expected plant went...

difficult to say from your quality pics, but if the yellowing is going on only on bottom leaves I would not be worried, especially a week into flower. First set of 1blade leaves and 2nd set of 3blade leaves usually yellows and drops at 3-5week of vegging a plant, when you turn it into flowering...

Well to write that auto is shit on somebodies thread who just sprouted an auto is a bit... like to comment about newly created DIY cfl setup that it should be trashed and hps acquired instead.. It is just wrong. My first grow was auto and the only thing I did not like about it - it was the most...

6 days into flower. Amazing. Plants reacted really well to 12/12 light cycle, after 3-4 days first pistils appeared. Growing incredibly fast. Checking on plants 2 times per day and difference visually noticeable.. Sweeeet.. Nodes are streching quite a lot and that is good, cause finally there's...

thanks for comments :) way more interesting to grow when growing not alone :) yesterday I failed so damn hard lol, I prepared the plant for 12/12, kept them for like 20 hours in darkness and then set the timer switch, and after it was ready I left them for 24hours alone, but only after 24...

what a glorious day, today after 20 hours of darkness I switched to flowering. I don't know if excitement after 3rd or 4th grow will go away, but it feels so god damn good to see every morning and evening how plants went bigger and bigger :) Super Lemon Haze is giving me such a strong MJ odor...

you are seriously either smoking some moldy shit or something is wrong with you. Sometimes it is better to stay silent, ESPECIALLY when you have nothing to say. Forums are for sharing knowledge and experience not for trolling every thread..

i use this web calc to find what i spend http://www.electricity-usage.com/Electricity-Usage-Calculator.aspx for my last grow i spent 35eu on electricity with 24eu ct per 1kwh, in total 3.5 months and got 40g of C'99. in Amsterdam 1g of decent sativa costs 11-14eu, so 4 grams and it pays off ;)...

Quite nice day I would say.. Finally I made myself a DIY reflector capable of vegging with cfl two plants and flowering with 150W hps. since my attic has low ceiling I had to work on a shape of reflector, but finally its there, hanging and making love with the light in front of the ladies...

first of all you misread my post 150W not 150$ :)) I said that I was unable to find cheap ballast for 70Watt or 100Watt lamp, so I had to buy 150W ballast and HPS lamp. it costed 55eu, 29eu ballast, 14eu for the lamp, 5 for E40 socket and 9 for delivery. Reflector I am doing myself, I will adapt...

Thanks guys for pointing those things out. I decided to go for 100w hps and drop in some cfl bulbs from sides. Gonna be doing DIY reflector today. I live in Amsterdam, so weather is rather agnostic here.. neither its raining neither its sunny, or is it not? both cold and warm lol crazy...

Until now I never looked into HPS due to the heat output and price. I just followed your link and was wondering does it produce a lot of heat? 16k lumens and 150w consumption.. sounds so right, and comparing to 8 cfl 25watters setup it's even cheaper. I pay like 9bucks per 1 25w cfl... but I...

yes totally agree, even if they produce the same amount of light, cfl light penetration is way more worse, thats why when you hang on a ceiling you cannot see a thing and you need three of them :)) There was a pic with a scale somewhere in RIU how cfl light diminishes, I cannot find the thread...

First of all Actual and equivalent watts. Equivalent is not for growers, it's for people who were used to heat bulbs to visualize how powerful is a cfl. So when you look for a cfl, don't even bother to read that 30W = 150W. Another thing 3 x 30W is way too litle(that is what most of the people...

After successful C'99(Female Seeds) grow which I harvested two weeks ago, I started growing C'99 again cause of it's amazing odor while growing(no one would ever tell that you are growing MJ at home), nice tropical fruit taste and very uplifting energetic trippy high(see signature). But since I...

By the way, I just remembered, fan leaves in a process, at least at first and second node 3-4weeks into flower dries out and falls down. I thought that it is because the light does not get to them through all the upper growth, but maybe they fall because of aging process.. Somebody more...

From what you wrote, it seems that you have enough light, well of course the more the better, but we are not talking about perfection here, however plants are low in foliage and stretchy. Could you be more specific about how far away the lamps are from plants? And how often do you water them...

I think adding some 2700K would make sence, sun does not give a plant 6500K only.. it has wider spectrum, besides you could use that later in flower.. One question about those blue pots. in some pictures they look that they narrow in diameter at the very top. That would make transplanting...
