oi oi ! k well red spec is for flower blue is veg as the general standard but i've got a 300W envrio which is half blue half red in with my hps and its working a treat the strains that have a stretch fase have stretched and some just haven't so i doubt a bit of blue really harms that much. if your growing sativa's tho id not put the blue in
new girl could be a cheese from big budda or ghs but its deffo not the Exodus cheese.
hope shes a winner tho fingerez!
dst thats why i signed up for this journal, what your saying is making so much sense thanks so much info 2 soak inDon already covered this but to add to that, if you are just going to add a 125 cfl (6400-6500), blue range, then only do it for the first couple of weeks of flowering. Then perhaps slings the cfl with the 2700 range/red in place of the blue for the last part of your grow...if you want to keep the w's down and not have both cfl's in there this is what I would do....this was advised to me from, Jig who done a vertical with HPS and MH (which i what I started with but have now swapped both to hps) the plants tend to continue to grow more leaves according to Jig, which is all good I suppose, but we are putting this girls to their max to get sensi so you want to focus energy and growth to what you're gonna smoke. Unless you want to end up with really nice green leaves come harvest time. A wee penny's worth fae me.
Glad things worked. It's quite amazing to see how quickly plants react. Topping is cool, lst'ing is for me more fun. I think with the low stress all you are doing is actually making the plant stronger, delivering more energy faster through the plants internal channels, which build themselve up against the resistance. I have seen plants turn in 15 minutes easy....that makes me want to do a time in motion photo thingmajig!! Next project me thinks....my wife done one from our old apartment balcony (we looked over a massive park then) every day for a year (except holidays) she took a picture of the same spot in the park. Quite amazing to see a plastic bag arrive, hang around in a tree for months, then all of a sudden, disappear!! Everyone has seen a plastic bag in a tree ffs, okay, high as fuck on Silver Bubble....end eh the bubble babble.
pps you multi quote by clicking the button next to quote on each post that you want to include (it will go orangy/red), then on the last post, press quote...eh voila.
peace, DST out.
months and space mate, would be nice 2 try them 1st. cant wait for the lemon, this bc is strong and doing me in, aint got the motivation to do ANYTHING. which is great and all but i smoke a lot so not good, when i'm working to. i work for a well known company, fixing things for a very well known company in public so not always great. i'm fairly intelligent but it dont look great when i cant even say a sentence without stumbling through it lol.kool thats deffo a keeper then if its a good rep of both and it came from a reg seed. happy days indeed.
blueberry lemon skunk and cheese, i think if you mixed the first two then to the cheese you could end up with something really nice. take months to knock up tho
coolio mate glad 2 have u on board. once again we have Don 2 thank for bringing the airpots to light (they grow trees in em lol) i'm sure u've seen the pic he's posted? just waiting for another side by side nearer harvest dont think its long?hey fingers looking good mate subed a bit late but always been on the slow side lol i'm looking forward to see how they all get on and interested in those air pots, oh yeah negative pressure works the same way as capillary reaction mate
Hey DST, any and all advice is welcome mate, n thats not a bad plan, should be gettin my 400w HPS in the next 2-3 weeks, so will see how the heat issue is then decide after that.Don already covered this but to add to that, if you are just going to add a 125 cfl (6400-6500), blue range, then only do it for the first couple of weeks of flowering.

Oh yeh, Sophie.....that's sounds like a sticky white love pi$$ tale.....so tell all!!!come one then do tell!?!? hahah sounds like some grim mc shawty bang bang
on the pruning thing i wouldnt bother unless the fan leaves are obscuring a budsite. some will tell you it will make the plant focus on buds but its codswallop man. plants use leaves to make buds. pulling them off = less bud!
cool think i'm going o'naturel this time then, no more pruning. (leaf it out) sorry.Oh yeh, Sophie.....that's sounds like a sticky white love pi$$ tale.....so tell all!!!
Pruning^^^exactly what Don said. Unless they are falling off, no need to prune...fans leaves are sugar factories...pruning is for Roses
Plus if yer plant is in anyway expelling something it doesn't like, it's good to have fans leaves so the plant can sacrifice them....
Off to get some Casey Jones tonight to sample..
Laters gang,
DST
hahahah i know the very channels, txt in to make them jiggle their jubblie's provocatively but they'll never even show you a nip. lol i wonder who actually pays for those things
