Thank! Must have been some read - I haven't read 100 pages of anything in a single sitting for quite some time. Glad to have you along and feel free to comment/ask questions.just read thred from start to now swweeeettt like a great novel thx keep it upkiss-asslmao it looks funny
Ty. I really do love my DIYs and my CFLsnice DIY fixture man
Thanks. I should probably lower it a notch in which case the plants would really be surrounded by light and reflective material. Sooo lazy though and I should be repotting soonyes very clever, maximize those little cfl's!!! no loss there!
Eh? I'm still flowering with my HID in the other tent - the DIY CFL fixture if just for my vegging plants.Thank you tanker i do have a ques. im on my first grow i have jack herer and seen your last 600 grow i also am using a 600 hps for flower my ques is why the switch to cfl are they better? i want to do plants right if i need to switch please tell me thanks in advance
Being able to more plants around can be nice but imo the actual growing portion is easier just in the ground - more space, more of the beneficials, better water retention and soil temps... Of course a large raised bed or just really large pots help all of these. I'm interested to hear what you think of the grow bags. I used them for one of my very initial grows and found then to be a bit of a pain but I know others that seem to use them with no problem.coming into some cash next week, kinda excited. got a few plants for some raised flower beds and veggie garden. just ordered 120 grow bags ---> http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/grow-bags/grow-bags <----
70 bucks including shipping for 130 bags. 50x 3 gal, 30x 1gal, 20x 5 gal, 20x 7 gal and 10x10 gallon bags. ill post a review on them when i get them and try em out. but for 70 bucks for 130 pots cant go wrong (i hope)
going to hit up the dump tuesday and get some pallets and create a stepped planting stage out front and make a raised bed in the back for some of my veggies. really leaning towards doing mostly everything in containers this year for a few reasons but the biggest being i can move things around if other plants are shading them too much.
anyways ill post up some pics when i get working on all this.
If you want the best possible bud and money is no issue (thus yield being no issue) then I would advise growing organically. CO2 increases yield and helps offset high temps but I've never heard of it increasing quality and you would then need to run an AC unit as well which wouldn't really offset the difference in yield/cost.Also info on grow, 5 jack clones veg 6 weeks, 3rd week flower, 5x5x6 tent super thrive,voodoo juice,liq seaweed,during veg. Sensieym,bud candy,hi brix molasses,big bud,and overdrive(not to that point yet) are there better nutes i should be using and am i missing anything also should i use co2 since its in tent that i keep vented when light is on heat problem i want best grow possible money not a issue.
Way to diy a fixture that works just as well as something I paid $250 for
In my opinion organic tastes a bit better. You don't technically need to transplant your mother but she would always appreciate it. You could also just trim the roots - pop it out of the pot, trim off the outer 1/3 of the roots and soil and then put it back into the same pot with some fresh soil.So the quality of organically grown is better? im on 3rd week of flower but will switch next grow.also i have a mother plant that i never plan on flowering when do i put in larger pot or do i have to since never going to bloom shes in 5 gallon pot but is getting to big i think i constantly cut for clones but she grows so fast it has roots coming out of wholes on bottom of bucket
lol you got meAfter a bit of begging I got my like button back
