What do you think about this tube I created. I had the mylar straight around on the wall I moved in in like a tube form around the plant completley except where the fan is blowing in. its tapered a bit at the top so the light reflects down, I left the top open because I want the hot air to be able to escape, I keep the closet cracked that the grow area is in so air temp is good. Any comments? HEY IS MY THREAD THAT BORING NOBODY RESPOND OR SAYS SHIT TO ME, COME ON SHOW SOME LOVE ROLLITUP.

So I used sewing string and pulled the plants to one side, within two days the entire sides got super bushy, I am going to switch it back to the otherside of the plant for two days so that side can get bushy too, then I am going to stand it back up straight up with the cfls around it ,give it one more week like that then, start flowering the 7th of July.CHECK OUT MY PICS. TALK TO ME ROLLITUP, ANY COMMENTS WELCOME

not sure if anyone answered this but the main reasons you should'nt use tinfoil is it absorbs alot of the light and diffuses whats left so you'll get sunspots or burns on yur veg.
Mylar reflects 90% of light that hits it, don't quote me on the figures.
You should maybe try to invest in a envirolite and a reflector, if yur gonna use CFL's.
I have a 250w red one on my grow at the mo and its perfect.
The more lumens....thicker buds
Gud job dude!
 
Going to veg for 21 days before flowering, thats all I want to wait. Here are the pics since yesterday, the side is already getting way thicker that yesterday, check out pics. Tomorrow I am going put it back up straight since both sides are going to be pretty thick. I am going to switch the small plant with one I have had outside for a week, its bigger and healthier, if the second plant doesnt start getting bigger I am going to just have the one plant in the room with 8 lights on it, should rock. We will see, ANY SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED.

I have had a problem, one of the plants just took off, thats the one I have been taking pics of, the other ones just were small but bushy but not as big as the big one. Next week I am going to begin to flower both of them. Anyway I took some pics of the big one, I have four cfls on y sockets, and two cfls on shop lights on the big one. Check out my pics, can you tell if its a male or female yet?

I cant tell very well because of the fuzzy pictures but it seems too early to tell yet, cant see any sinings of sex But fingers crossed they ar eall females!
 
Ok so no work today so my mind starting thinking. I decided to only do one plant the other two small ones are going outside to get normal daylight, and start to flower. The other plant I made the inbudwetrust tube of death. Look at the pics. I bought two circular pots, put them on top of eachother, taped down some mylar on the circular walls, drilled in about 8 cfls ranging from height, starting at about 3 inches above the base of the plant the lights started, three levels. first level with four individual cfls placed equally apart, next about 6 inches above that, I have four more cfls in y sockets on either side of eachother, to top it off I have two cfls in shop lights hanging from the top. I have a fan at the base to promote clean air, also left the top open for now to air out with a fan blowing in. I just bought some tiger bloom and am waiting for it to come to start the flowering process. I also bought some snow white seeds from Nirvana I am only doing a plant at a time from now on. Here are some pics.

the bright light is where I put the fan, it got super hot in there without it like that. I might need to add one more.
