    Noneed4me2's first medical/cabinet grow with cfl's

    Update. Well things are bouncing back on my 4 girls. Got past the nutrient lock. Made some light adjustments and doing more lst'ing to get the lower branches some more light to better grow out the foliage. Roots are still awesome and I am getting some fresh growth from the netty basket not just...

    Noneed4me2's first medical/cabinet grow with cfl's

    I know it looks it but they really haven't stretched that much. The stalks have gotten alot thicker and the net was haphazard and thrown in at the last minute. The lights are two inches above the uppermost foliage and I do get some heat stress up there. I am vegging another week from tomorrow...

    Noneed4me2's first medical/cabinet grow with cfl's

    Arghh, got some more nutrient burn. Mainly isolated to the older foliage, all newer growth looks clean. Changed out a couple of the hanging cfl's from 13w to 26w. Now all hanging match with 26w, 2000 lumen, 6500k spectrum. Changing out my water tommorow already prepping new water batch...

    First DWC grow

    Your roots look great, I am in veg week 3 and mine have a slight darkening especially the parts exposed to air but growth is healthy, reservoir is clear no smells. Yours look better than mine but mine are clones. Also my fox farm nutes are colored so I figured that might be why. Your roots in...

    Closet T5 grow

    Nice setup and good luck on your grow. T5's seem to really be coming into there own with growing. I was readin a thread somewhere where they were talking about about using aquarium bulbs for better results by some guy called the professor who's based at of Oxford or something. If i find the...

    CFL Micro DWC PC Grow

    Plain dwc's work relatively simple. I keep alot of pre-ph'ed water so that helps but like baskarz this is my first grow with hydro. My clones in hydro are like 2x bigger vs my uncle's clones (same mother) in soil same light schedule. I just checked my roots today and after adding a second...

    New Cab! 150W hps, dwc and scrog

    Nice setup can't wait to see your progress. Might consider clones as it takes some worry about males especially when working with only a few plants at a time. I have a stealth grow box I am looking to mod. It's 3'x20"x16" enclosed cabinet with locks and already wired and being used for a grow...

    CFL Micro DWC PC Grow

    To answer baskarz light question... Throw in a couple of daylight 5000k or 6500k (what I use) to supplement your hps in vegging and you're golden. Use lower wattage like 13w bulbs (not actual output just energy usage). They work fine in tight spaces and put out 800 lumens, at least the better...

    CFL Micro DWC PC Grow

    Quick note for USA growers, Habitat for Humanity​ stores is an awesome place to look for lights both bulbs and housing. My dad is big on contracting work so I go there to help him get things and they have tons of cfl's in all kinds of configs at usually half or less than home depot and the...

    CFL Micro DWC PC Grow

    For vegging I have been using a mix of 5 various wattage 6500k daylight bulbs and 2 2700k bulbs one high wattage. Based on what I've read using a mix helps cover the spectrums better for growth. I will reverse this setup once I flower. Cfl's seem best to cut your teeth on and then once your...

    Noneed4me2's first medical/cabinet grow with cfl's

    Bump. Any thoughts on when I should switch to 12/12? The strain is called Grape/Ice and is local strain I believe to my area but I have no knowledge either growing or smoking it. Here are a couple of pages with pics from the dispensaries that sell this strain but detailed info is limited...

    CFL Micro DWC PC Grow

    Awesome root growth on the Dwc one. I use aquashield in my reservoir and change it weekly but I have 4 clones competing so next grow will be 3 or less as a couple seem to grow faster even though they came from the same mother. What's the flowering cycle of your strain? Hps is ideal for flowering...

    Noneed4me2's first medical/cabinet grow with cfl's

    Here's my setup. Bought a pre-maid box, thinking it would cut back on start-up time, now I spent my wad wished I had gone with a grow, diy hydro DWC system, tent and a 250w hps/cfl combo custom setup. Will be slowly upgrading equipment as I can afford it. Added another air pump and the drip...
