    Third time's a charm... let's go.

    for lights I'm waiting for Phoenix to stretch on this first couple of weeks to see how she does. I will try to keep this seedlings as bushy and wide as possible to maximize the CFL's. At the same time I almost purchase a 150w HPS. At the end I decided to keep my CFLs for flowering too and not...

    Third time's a charm... let's go.

    thanks for the feedback mrlight! Both areas are running on ~150w each. I got some more bulbs that will be use when the plants get bigger. this is velcro (is there another word for it?) Edit: The fans aren't that loud, the cabinet is also inside my closet so you can't hear it with the...

    Newb that needs some help...

    skip the paper towel method and just go directly to soil. Put the seeds 3/4'' deep and keep the soil moisture (not wet, not dry). I was trying the paper towel method and this same thing happened to me. Just go to soil and you will see the difference. PS: If you can't smoke until you harvest...

    Third time's a charm... let's go.

    Plants are looking healthy so far and I might need to water them tomorrow, maybe today. I have no idea if I can feed them with this watering as they are 10 days old. Is it ok? And also, how bad is it if I feed Phoenix (1 day @ 12/12) with some veg nuts? tia!

    Is 819w enough?

    you can and there's enough evidence that shows that CFL can produce good bud. Make sure you have 2.7Kelvin for flowering and 6.5Kelvin for vegetative state. Most important: keep your cfls as close as possible to your plants.

    Cfl hps

    No it won't. As a matter of fact that's a great combination you got there. Veg with CFL's making sure the lights are as close as possible to the plants (1-3'') without causing heat stress. Later when you are about to switch to flowering (12/12) just turn on your HPS. As a matter of fact you can...

    1st Time Growing with CFLs . Need Help !

    I believe they take a couple of weeks (maybe 2-4) to mature even if they are 12/12 from seed. They are looking better w/ every update! I think that 320 actual watts of CFL is more than enough for 2 plants as long as you keep them really close to them. I've read that 100W per plant properly...

    Third time's a charm... let's go.

    25/2 Update = 1st Week of Veg for Seedlings Temps: 76* Humidity: 43% The new cabinet is a work in progress. Today I finally got the flowering area completely sealed from the upper or veg area (no light passes). Some light still gets in from the front doors so I still can't flip Phoenix into...
