Looks real good. Do you think AP systems just might take a little longer to flower?

Installed a 25w water heater w/ thermostat. Brought the total system power to 229w. Hoping the guppies will perk back up now and start eating more. The warmer water temps might help me keep my air temps up when the flower lights are off too.

Are you going to keep some mamas in the veg room or just keep cycling genetics through the cab?

If you are growing autos just leave the lights on 24/7. Not having a lights out will keep the temps from falling down during that time. You could also add in some more cfls till you get the desired temps if you don't go back to the hps.

I will try and get some pics up soon. The main plant in flower has been in there for over five weeks now. The smaller plants are still recovering from the transplant and flip on the 15th. I hope it limits the stretch of them some as they transition to flower. I'm also hoping the uv of the cmh...

Low 60's during lights off and mid 70's when on. I will probably pick up a small tank water heater while I am out today. The fish have a right to be comfy so they can concentrate on pooping.

With outdoor temps dropping I am able to run bigger and bigger lights in my cab. In the cool tube right now is a 100w cmh with a 42w remote ballast cfl providing some support lighting to some of the newer plants in veg. The whole system is running at 200w with pumps, fans, and all lights...

I have spent some time looking through this thread but not all the way yet. Anyhow... Has anyone ever used main-lining and vertical together? I am thinking of focusing a plant with 8 buds all growing up the sides of a vertical bulb. It would probably need to be a smaller hps or a larger cfl to...

some power skunk freebies I got a couple years back

I put 3 more clones into flower on the 15th. One was mainlined the other two were small single stem clones. I also added a remote ballast 55w cfl to the flower section. I put the 55w and the 42w in a cool tube to see what would happen to my temp. The whole setup with the lights on during flower...

DIY 42w CFL Remote ballast

Here is an update of the scrog aquaponic grow I have going. It is a 42w cfl that has been remote ballasted.

three weeks or so

Saw the first pistils yesterday! The scrog is working just the way I am wanting too.

The plant in the flower room was grown from seed. I hope it is a female and you are right. I understand how clones work though.

It's a clone of the same skunk plant in my flower room. I should know sex soon.

That clone on top of my tank is now sporting some nice roots. I flipped the flower switch on 10-15 and will soon know if its a boy or girl.

I am using a guppy growth mix that is preservative free right now. I also have some grow-max pellets that I give them for treats. Smashed peas and ground up worms will be added to the diet when I get around to it. Yeah, if you read the thread I have a couple small hps and cmh bulbs to play...

Here are some pics of my current setup. It is an NGB style cab with a remote ballast 42w cfl for flower and a 13w cfl for the fishes. The lights make it hard to see but you get the idea. The grow bed is a tub stacked inside a larger tub leaving a sump tank underneath. This is the third AP grow...

I just got done reading this thread and there is a lot of misinformation. Fish do not need light in order to be happy. They have evolved over thousands of years to be able to live in murky dark water. The ones that swam to the top where the light is were plucked from evolution by predators...
