first journal, lst, cfl's

ah man, nothin compares to up north. down south is all, square roads and pre-planned downtown areas. i love burnin a jib then goin downtown to the coffee shops and book shops and talkin with people that have more intelligence than what the local church tells them they can have. but sadly, on the 27th, i leave from portsmouth back to the deep south of hypocracy and bafoonery. not to mention the bud is a million fuckin times better up here!

we have a good amount of snow, foot an a half, but it rained last night an its all iced over now. good to go sledding without a sled tho haha.

The other night friends an i were burnin a blunt an we made a snowman an stuck the roach in his mouth. it was fuckin perfect, didnt have a camera tho, i do believe the roach is still there haha

How many cfls are u using per plant during veg jsut wondering Im doing a all cfl grow also

i only grew two plants - two 26w per, warm range, but i did all last and kept them very small. one turned out to be male, one female, so i put all four cfl's on the one lady for flower. been about 4 months so far, give or take a week or two.

damn dude im like 20 mins from portsmouth, thats about the coolest old city in nh. i hit up the bars there all the time. fat bellys is sick and tequilla jacks. gotta love p-town. and your right on the bud we got the good shit, actually this past week out of no where the headies came out, it seems everyones first grow of the winter just finished we are gettin some real heady shit right now. well i gotta get back to it ill talk to ya again man, we'll have to smoke one next time you come to the 6-0-3, peace bro

most deffintealy man, we'll burn. I love goin to that town cuz i have a lot of old friends an they all wanna smoke me up whenever i come around haha. I like the historical aspects of the town, and the food is...well its whatever you want, such a variety. Im thinkin bout moving back. im back in florida now and the only thing thats keepin me happy is i came back to some almost perfectly dried bud. much love and respect to POTsmouth.

my lil girl's all growed up, now off into the real world to get dried and burnt. metophorically and literally speaking haha

so whats the next grow opp. man?

I'm running 12800 lumens in my grow, it's about 2 sq feet

8 CFLs putting out 1600 each. They're the 26w bulbs so it's really not that much wattage

I'm not sure,,and someone can correct me if I'm wrong,,but becuase you have 8 cfl's puting out 1600 lumens each,,doesn't mean you add them together to figure out your lumen output,,what you have,,is 1600 lumens,,spread out @ 8 bulbs @ 1600 lumens,,the light is 1600 lumens,,and can't become any more than that,,except,,a HoLE bunch of 1600 lumens,,can someone plz shed some lumens on this,,cuz enquiring minds wanna know

Keep on Growin

Very nice! Im still waitng to get paid to get my setup going. I will be using CFLs as well. I will be my first time so i just wanna get some expiernce under my belt. It does seem like you harvested a little early. Wat seeds did you use?

No, you definitely add the lumens. If not, there would be no reason to ever have more than one light. Those big units with six 48" T5's would put out no more than one T5.

Damn, for some reason I feel like a shot and a beer.

deffintealy add them. and the one plant only took up on sq ft in diameter. lil guy. So all those lumens were directed in that small 1X1 square

nice man, it looks great so far. looks like a little bonzai!

and Daveg, i think my next one's gonna be outside. they're germming now

yo those look real sick man, I like the tying down technique it seems to be going well. Did you top them at all or are they just tied down? You may have already said this but I'm too lazy to read through 7 pages. Are you using any nutes or anything? You should try an outdoor grow I like them a lot and If I can do it in Maine it should be quite easy in Florida provided you have a nice hidden spot. I grew mine out by my pond in that like overgrown swamp area, not sure if you remember the layout of my yard but anyway, let me know what you yield. I topped one plant and let the other grow naturally and i actually got more from the one I grew naturally almost 3 ounces while the topped one got about half that. It was my first grow but it went fairly well considering my circumstances and that i had to leave for college a month before harvest leaving my ignorant mother in charge of plant care (she almost killed them)
-your childhood friend

what up 'hood friend. good to see u checkin in. It only yielded about a qt. but off that one plant, no taller than a foot, it wasnt bad at all. best green ive had in this area ever haha. reminded me of home.

The harvest (if you could even call it that) happened a while ago. I didnt top it, but the LST technique (tieing it down) "tricks" the plant into forming a bunch of mini cola's. shits sick. I think im def. gonna do outdoor this season. FL soil sucks tho, its straight sand a foot or so down. Im gonna have to go BDW style an put bags in the ground n shit. Stay up man, you gotta journal for yours or any pics?

yea man no doubt browndirt style, i think that what im doin too. expecially if i can find some browndirt mix. hopefully its true and me does have some come out that would be fuckin nuts man. snowin like a motha fucka here today, cant imagine and outdoor op. yet seems so far away. come on spring.

the weather is good here, but the soil sucks. and theres no real shelter in the form of hills or mountains. ill have to scope a buncha places out to tinfd the right one

no doubt man, do what you said and either use a bag in the ground or if you find a real good spot you can just grow in 5 gallon buckets, we do that sometimes and then you can move them around depending on situations.
whats the temp out there this type of year? man i cant even remember im so use to being back in nh, i know in march well end of feb. is bike week and its always fuckin nice then so your probably in pretty good temps now. start them bitches up as soon as you can though and give 'em plenty time to grow
