    800 watts of cfls pics (should I switch to hps??)

    a week and a half it is... I'm flushing them out right now anyway (I do a one day flush every week or so just to keep aero running smoothly getting out excess salt buildup...) was gonna reintroduce nutes again like normal but now it seems I can just keep going with the flushing and in a week and...

    800 watts of cfls pics (should I switch to hps??)

    Yeah, I've read about sativas and quantity but man this one seems like a monster... I had two other indicas in there that finished in normal time... 8 weeks but this plant is 5 times bigger than the other two combined... and flushing for 2 weeks... do that with aero as well? I don't mind but...

    800 watts of cfls pics (should I switch to hps??)

    3 part GH nutes... nothing else. And why the 23 watts? At first I thought the bulbs wouldn't be that hot but when there are 38 of them all crunched in everything changed... had to put in the glass and fan sucking out... works great but still curious what would have happened with the hps... the...

    800 watts of cfls pics (should I switch to hps??)

    that's the one thing I really wish I could show... two problems... not near my grow right now... and the camera I was using is a video camera (no macro) and taking stills from that. I could try shooting through my 60-100x radio shack microscope but now the camera stopped working!!! I'm just...

    800 watts of cfls pics (should I switch to hps??)

    just visiting and figured now is the time to post... nowhere near where I live... but yeah, I'm using a mix of the two spectrums... I guess I'll go another two weeks but I can't believe how long this is taking... 14 weeks... sativa so I'm just gonna cross my fingers and hope that I'm not seeing...

    no no, I'm doing the kelvins right.. just looks that way in the pics.. I'm using 8 6500 bulbs and 30 2700 bulbs. And from what I'm seeing the nugs look really dense but like I said... never done this before.

    800 watts of cfls pics (should I switch to hps??)

    yeah, I think I'll have to redesign this thing for the next one if I do it again... the glass is helping tremendously from keeping the heat of all those cfls off the plant. if I take the glass off everything in there would burn... the fan is sucking as much air out as it's capable of but with a...

    800 watts of cfls pics (should I switch to hps??)

    thanks for the positive feedback... as a first time grower I'm always convinced I'm doing it wrong... they are 14 weeks in... this is normal right? I want to get a shot of the trics but it seems that some of the bulbs are red, the stem is clear... most of the trics look clear but I'm trying...

    did you see the other pics after your post... they are from much later in the grow... like last week... week 13... not sure what fingers you're talking about? will a 400 hps have more lumens than these? like I mentioned 60,800 lumens?

    800 watts of cfls pics (should I switch to hps??)

    Here are the other pics... they are probably all out of order due to my time restrictions... anyway... the biggest question is... should I be switching to 400 watt HPS? There should be 60,800 lumens here as compared to the 55,000 lumens on a HPS light from what I've read. I was going to...

    oh yeah, and I went straight to orchid pellets after a small stint in soil... no other medium. watering 15 mins every 3 or 4 hours... should I not be watering at night?

    I've been reading for months... started my first grow aeroponically. GH three part nutes, no additives, just balanced ph, tds around 400 max for this one plant. a few seeds, maybe light leaks not sure... a few questions: I'm at 14 weeks and the trichomes still look clear... a few red but...
