First Grow CFL, Bucketeer with a drip

Lookin for a 400w hps for a good deal. Anybody have any recomendations?? Wife gave me a couple hundred to spend as a Xmas present. Wooohooo
 
Awesome, thanks for the links. I think I'm gonna go with that htg 400w. Looks like it has a pretty good warranty too. I'll update whenever I decide what to get. :)
 
Hey guys, hope you all had a great holiday. :joint:

I was away from my grow for a pretty decent amount of time during the days over the weekend. Which turned the webcam feed into a torture device.

She looks to be trying to get back on track after the leaf damage last week. The leaf on the other hand looks terrible, and must be throwing off the balance to the leaf on the opposide side. Looks like it wants to go down with it. Everything above that looks great and healthy though. Changed the res yesterday morning, and fed it full strength. Judging by the root growth and plant growth overnight I'd say she appreciated the meal.

Do you guys think those first 2 leaves should be cut off, or just let them fall of when they want? :joint::joint:

I ended up ordering from HTG Supply. I grabbed the 400w HPS, along with a couple other things. I'll keep veggin with CFL's for a while. I think the 400 should keep me happy for a few grows :)

id probably wait for them to either fall off or become more yellow/brown and pull em off if they can easily be pulled. once you get the 400w from htg let me know what you think about it, ive only heard good things and i am going to get one in the next couple of weeks.
 
Yea the leaf looks like crap but the stem holding it on is still fresh and green so we'll see what comes of it on it's own I guess.

I'll for sure let you know about the light. It doesn't look like it should bring me any headaches. I ended up saving some money by ordering from the actual store web site instead of the eBay auction, so I would compare the prices before buyin :)
 
Bargain shopping runs in the family I guess. I call the wife the Coupon Nazi. Different story, different time I suppose. lol

On the menu today... ROOTS

Todays picture post is brought to you by the letter R and the word Roots.

I have some pretty long ones, and considering the size of the basket and the location where I started my seed, these things are pretty long. As soon as the rest of the plant realizes her roots are long I'm sure she'll take off.

I'm getting some coloring on my largest oldest roots. They are not slimy or anything, and they tend to darken up when Micro nutes are added. The micro nutes are dark and pretty much the only ones that influence color change in my res. For now I will blame the coloring of the roots on the nutes. Unless you guys think it could be another problem?

Pics are all of the nutes, and tasty nute water. Showed a pic of the bubble action. Bubbles are now being influenced by 2- 6"air stones along with the 1- Bubble disc included with the SH Bucketeer kit. Had to add an additional air pump as the one that came with the kit is barely strong enough to push the bubble disc in the kit.

ahahha thats hilarious, the coupon nazi. reminds me of seinfeld: the soup nazi.
nice roots (she) looks nice and healthy. i definitely agree, root discoloring due to nutes.
 
Yep, Seinfeld Junkie here. BUSTED lol . She's actually pretty scary with the coupon thing. All her friends and coworkers always hit her up for the newest coupons and shopping deals on the market. She trades them like sports cards. She'd make a hell of a dealer, she always keeps them comin back for more. lol
