That's epic man! Meh, messed up? they look good to me ha! I'm getting anxious over here. Everyone's harvesting! Day 37 just doing nothing in the tent ha, bored! This cola is dead center between both light fixtures. And therefore gets 4 lights around it lmao!

So many ounces! Love that first pull back shot of all the plants. A forest haha! The mainlining technique is pretty amazing. And what size jar is that big one?? Bigger than a quart?

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Oh also if your bulb fails you're screwed unless you can find another real fast. If a small bulb goes out or breaks it's not as big a deal at all. Just a pain to deal with a million bulbs. Which is why I went with the 8 bulbs instead of 16 23watters

My bulbs are 67 lumens per watt The 200 watt cfl is rated at 12000 lumens if you divide that out you'll see I get more lumens in the end 8 x 42 = 22512 lumens 200 watt cfl is rated at 12000 5 x 42 = 14070 lumens That's why you see people with a million 23 watt bulbs instead of like 4 or 5 big...

Smaller bulbs produce more lumens per watt than larger cfls. 23 watt and 42 watt are the sweet spots. It's all downhill as you go higher in wattage. 10 23watt cfl would produce wayyy more lumens than a 230watt single cfl

The problem with bulbs that high are the lumen output. If you had 42 watt bulbs equalling 250 watts the lumen count would be higher. Keep that big one in the middle and hang two 42 or 85watt bulbs on each side. Use a Y adapter like above ^

Get some hoods on those babies!

:hump: God DAMN!

That doesn't look like heat stress to me. Possibly cal mag def. or could be yellowing because of the cfl not penetrating the canopy enough. I get a couple yellow leaves randomly under the canopy. Usually just look like it's do to poor lighting. I keep the underside completely trimmed all...

Post your setup later I'll take a look. This is just my experience so far tho as this is my first run haha 8 - 42watt 2700k. I keep a fan blowing over the canopy and I keep em CLOSE. Like 1 inch close haha. Put as many in as you can and keep them as close as you can. Also a reflector to...

Day 34 One of the smaller buds. They're starting to get fatter In the last couple day the trichs have gone nuts. She's frosty as shit right now and only in the beginning of week 6, 336 watts cfls

Nice yeah blasting them at high noon would be pretty cool. It would have to be really dialed in tho and every strain would be different so you'd need to take cuttings from a mother prolly until you found the max threshold. Also yeah cmh lights do it on their own but I don't think it would be...

Cool did you do detailed research on adding in the uv. Assuming it's for trich development as that's what one of their main purposes are. Curious. You going for winter in July? :blsmoke:

The last supplies to finish the grow arrive tomorrow! These plants better be worth it for the money I've spent! Ha jk I had a great time regardless! I remember when a scale cost like 80 bucks haha. Damn prices have dropped!

Damn, that seems like the ideal situation lol I'm actually excited to trim, crazy as that sounds... I do see how it's the most daunting job though haha. At this point I kind of wish I had two strains with 2 plants each. Day smoke and night smoke. Oh well live and learn lol

I'm all ears to all the cool "not boring stuff" you're doing without cfls. That you can't do with cfls. Love to know what I missed this first grow of mine?

Sounds boring as fuck...

Does the darkness really pull all that color or do lower night temps paired with that help? Obviously if the strain has the color in the genetics

:clap: How much longer you thinking? They're looking wide on all sides :cool:
