Check out the light thread at the end of my signature to help you choose which plant training technique would work best in your situation

Sounds like you may be short of light but it will still eventually finish

Not that many things can go wrong. Is your reservoir nute concentration low enough? Have you checked the misters to make sure they're hitting the stems? Is your room humid enough or are you using a humidity Dome?

Search hempy buckets - they are what you're describing

Im sure strain plays a part but also you can only fit part of one plant directly under the light and for the other plants you have to take into consideration the horizontal distance to the bulb which means they were more like a foot away and getting much less light than the plant under the light.

leading edge vs bleeding edge. Personally not convinced we've heard the last word on which frequencies are used by the plant so I believe it's premature to start measuring light energy from limited frequencies. And I'm a great believer in wiki learning a little from a lot of people and I haven't...

still sorting the meter question out so not willing to commit publicly. First experiment - based on the lighting penetration chart my plants should be able to tolerate up to 70,000 lumens per square foot. I'm not that brave so I'm going to shoot for about 30,000 lumens per square foot at the...

I would keep getting cfl's. Go for 23 watters.

You are roughly describing how any number of hydroponic systems work. Read up on them here and you'll know plenty to start growing

Trumps - To get the better of (an adversary or competitor, for example) by using a crucial, often hidden resource. It's a balance that's skewed toward physics because of the inferior light available indoors. Thats why yields were calculated in amount per watt of light, because every grower...

Too lazy to do the homework. Honestly, this is more fun than making money, you tend to make enemies when you make money.

Been there, done that. Do things for fun now. Doesn't mean others can't take the ideas.

Looks like you can use co2 for the whole grow, which is a good thing because if not u could never make it work in a typical perpetual grow.

It has been my experience that open minds lead to full wallets. I was serious about investing in a light meter company.

No worries, I'm so medicated an elephant could step on me and I wouldn't feel it. This is the whole point of my new thread with numbers to back it up. Took me awhile to get to that point of view.

I should mention that this chart is what I will be testing and what I suspected - that our plants can take much more light than the recommended 7000 to 10000 lumens and are actually getting much more light in many successful indoor grows.

...Greatly reduce the number of visible crystals of thc. This is probably how the rumor about co2 hurting potency came about, somebody saw fewer crystals and assumed it was less potent. Well I just smoked some 3 day old lowryder bud that was in 1500 pppm co2 for most of it's life and it is the...

That leaf isn't going to get any better but it won't hurt the rest of your plant.

no, you use it only when the light is on and you have to keep adding because of leaks and plant usage. Weed beats Viagra any day, make it weed and co2 and you can fix the deficit or cure cancer.
