no there's no external ballast. Reflector to socket directly :) I think the plants are quite happy with the light for now. I will move the plants to my larger Homebox L with a 400wHPS in a week or so. Here are my plants, semi-lollipopped:

Which is why I don'y buy my weed anymore and only grow organic ;) Above all I think food coloring fucks up the flavor and could result in a harsher smoke. If you have purple/blue genetics then lower the temperature during dark hours in flowering. That tends to be bring out the color a little.

i wouldn't want to smoke food colouring. It's either in the genetics then pronounced by the grow, or its not. Besides, the best phenotypes of purple and blue strains are usually the none-purple/blue ones! look at DJ Shorts' Flo, for example. I'm currently growing a blue strain but don't expect...

Hey y'all... it's been a fucking while :D I left for a couple of months and came home to 4-month cured buds :weed: AK-47 left, White Widow right: AK: WW: Closeup of AK-47: I appreciate all your support guys, so plz stop by my new journal.

Thanks for the rep. that place happens to be home, Saudi Arabia (though I've been living on my own in Switzerland since i was 13). The buds are very different. AK-47: more of a cerebral "high" than a stone. Perfect for listening to and making music, wake'n'bake, etc. For some reason...

Towards the end of October I harvested 8 White Widow and 7 AK-47 plants I had been growing from clones under a 400w HPS. Unfortunately I was growing in July and had a bit of a mold problem, so i ended up losing around 1/3 of my harvest. No worries, I had enough bud to last me months. After...

It's been just over a week under 12/12, and they're definitely starting to flower with a bit of veg growth at the same time. I chopped most of the lower branches (not fan leaves) and left only the top 1/3. Even with my 400w HPS I've found that the lower buds are way too airy. I prefer to focus...

Saddest part is I never got into the band until a few months after Chuck's death; which I didn't know about. After purchasing Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic and Sound of Perseverance, I bought the Live in LA album and found a slip to donate money for Chuck's brain cancer treatment. Then I...

agreed. Death really don't get the credit they deserve. True pioneers. RIP Chuck.

can't stop bumping this when I'm soaring off that AK-47: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnsAWbhsL8Q

A proper air-tight cure in the dark is what you need. I left my buds to cure for 4 months in the dark and when I finally took 'em out they were a lot less green than when i harvested. The flavor incomparable! The chlorophyll had definitely broken down:

No pics today, but my plants have just completed their 2nd day under 12/12 lighting. I want shorter, single-cola plants so the extra veg time would've worked against me.

Here they are after 4 days. You can definitely tell the bushier Blue Russians from the taller, skinnier Sour D's. Here's one of the Blue Russians. You can definitely see a bit of blue on the leave tips:

Nothing like a perfectly rolled joint. For me the pleasure is as much smoking as getting high. And quite simply you smoke a lot more with a joint; even if you don't get as ripped as off a bong. Sometimes I like to put a little hash in my sheesha (what you guys call a "hookah").

i dunno exactly but let me share a story... Last October I harvested my AK-47 and White Widow, dried them for 5 days, cured them in glass mason jars for two weeks, then just left them under my bed as I had to travel. What I thought would be a 2-week trip ending up being 4 months away from my...

I used all the BioBizz nutrients during my last grow and for my current grow I'm also using the "Light-Mix" soil. It's definitely lighter than other Light-Mix soils I've used from other brands in the past. Definitely feels like I have more control over my plants' nutrition.

you're right, mogul socket in the reflector.

Well I have both 2700k and 6500k 250w CFL's. I got them at my local grow shop.

Yeah then I'll probably add a few way smaller 6500k bulbs. I read that helps with trichome production.
