By the looks of this, your goin to have a solid sheet of buds. Make sure you have enough air circulation for that. You dont want no bud mold. It sucks. Fantastic job by the way. Looking better than ever Cruzer.​

I hope so man. I got those two 4" on the bottom and the intake is on the bottom with the wisper fan sucking up through the cab... I should be alright but I will keep an eye on that.

Thanks.

OK, Todays the day.

I have to admit, I have new respect for floro grows.
If I didnt grow it myself I would not have believed the plants could have done this under just floros.

Couple last shots:











Now, I had 5 or 6 plants I started flowering real small and a few I vegged a couple weeks to see the difference in yield.
The plant on the left is the largest of the single cola plants. The plant on the right vegged for 2 weeks more.
Look at the difference.




Thats what two weeks veg will do for ya.


Some of this Trainwreck had a dominate purple pheno.




Closer...





Awesome shit man,
I wouldnt have trimmed it so close if I had these pics earlier. lol

Anyway, heres a shot of the take.


1st three piles are Trainwreck, then White Widow and the small stuff is the purple kush.

Heres the lights:

Sunblaze Hood with four T5 HO lamps. I got one 6500k and three 3000k 22 watts each.
The CFLs are 26 watt on the sides and 18 watt in the back, all 3000k






Looks kinda empty in there now.




Lookin at those purple bud pics reminds me of your 250w grow.
Any guess on weight?

Wow!

I really can't get over the health of those plants, man.
Just outstanding.

I don't care if those grew CFL, HPS or STD..
...just absolutely (en)gorgeous!

Later I'm gonna' pick yur brain re trich photog. Awesome eye, Cruiser.

Congrats, my friend.
It has to be a great feeling to successfully graduate those to your dryer after all your hard work, planning and due diligence.

Salute

Dam, Two weeks?
I visit my girls at least twice a day.

Ha! Since "pulling the plug" on the smaller cab, I walk into my office to no hummmming, no nose bouquet, no reason to open the door and stare for hours...:cry:

I had to make myself not look in on 'em for 3 days just to give myself a growth shock rush.

Couldn't imagine doing it regularly in a cab. Though, I often don't visit outdoor plants for a few days at a time.

Thats twice a day while lights are off. I check water level, ph, and temp.

At night when lights are on, I catch a buzz and stare at them lookin for something to improve. Most of the time I just burn another one and stare some more.

Well, I wanted to do something different in the floro cab. Swap the hydroton to 2'" netpots in PVC fence posts. Also make a lamp like someguys did but I havent got the shit yet and I still have some hydroton so Im gonna go another round as is.

I usually look in on them daily, but it is usually very short. I still like to spend some time with them from time to time and there is always work to do. Feeding by hand is a pain though and it takes quite a bit of time. By automating I get to do more of the stuff I enjoy. :)

Youll do fine with your setup for another round (from the looks of it). I am still on fence about staying with what I got or getting another hps...

I got it online. greentrees I think it was or ebay.
Paid like $140 for it new. I picked up some extra bulbs too. It came with 4 6500k and I got 4 3000k so I could mix it up.

There is one on ebay now thats like it for $69 tec t5 lighting. I am thinking about buying two and combining them.
Someguy did it. gets 20k lumens.

well for the starting price, that's not a bad way to go. and maintaining it is way cheaper as well. esp if you had a bunch of those cfl cab boxes stacked modularly. and no heat bullshit... hmmm

This is a pretty good thought. If from every 14x26 inch footprint you could pull a max of 3 oz on 220w... done on a cycle you could get three of them going and harvest once a month. Probably have less heat issues and IMO flouros produce very aesthetic bud.

All for less than 700w total.

I am on the same line of thinking as you guys. I like the low wattage and the results. The lower shelf in the larger cab is going floro. I have some space issues with plumbing so I got 15 deep and 40 wide.

Do you think I could do this with two of those lights?
