Lacy's Indoor Grow??? (lots of questions)

Good work. You should notice a response to the MH in a couple of days.
Too bad about that sun system. R you looking at the on with both MH and HPS in the same hood. I have read it a really bad idea to do that it makes the lights very inefficeant. if not disregrad that comment

Humboldt · Dec 20, 2007

Nice Lacy they be looking good, gunna love the new light, sorry to hear about the sun system but all things good come in the end..... keep up the great work!

Lacy · Dec 20, 2007

thanks guys. I cannot believe the difference in my grow already and it has only been 1 day and this is only 100 MH.
Unbelievable. I can't imagine what a 1000 watt could do.
Damn!

Thank bongspit. Yes it is a close resemblance to my thumb but I don't see the purple fingernails.

Yes Mattso I was thinking of getting a dual spectrum combination light. It is an 800 watt and takes either 2 MH bulbs or 2 hps bulbs or one of each. Plus it has an air cooled hood which I really like.
I have some time to spend looking now because after tomorrow I will have a total of 424 watts of light for vegging and then when I put them into flower I should have double that if not before.

I have read and heard other who have it say that it works great. The thing that I have found is it depends on who you talk to. It does not produce high yielding buds but produces more compact ones. So if you are a dealer and are selling you wouldn't want to add a MH light when flowering but if you are growing for personal, I think it would be interesting to experiment and find out if its true. I'm not sure what I am going to get but I know I am going to get a good light and perhaps even a light mover. That might be a bit of an over kill. probably is.

hey do you have a grow journal mattso?

Hey Humboltd. Yes I love this light and will never go back to only growing with cfl's again. Just in 24 hours I have seen a HUGE improvement and I even have the growlux bulbs in my cfl's. Its incredible. I read that you built a new grow room. Tomorrow since hubby is home I will get him to fix up this 'puter and go through your pics to see it.

If my computer wasn't so messed up right now I would go to everyone journal and check them out but its really acting up tonight. (takes over a minute just to submit a reply.)
Oh hubby dear?

LMAO! I felt the same way with dial up, you are making me want a hid bad Lacy, when I do get one I'm a gunna name her after you.. "Bright & Shiny"

I basically just built a light fixture for an existing veg room and reorganized it, I would be willing to shrink a handful of pics for ya and send them to you via PM, just give me the word and I'll get started on that right away...

KANT!!! Where have you been?
I missed the bud bat!!!
Nice to see you back Kant!

Yes I did not get the 1000 watt sun system but thats ok. Eeverything happens for a reason so there must be something better in store for me.

How is school doing? Are you going home for the holidays? Your sister? Words kant!

christmas is a wonderful time of year.....

how goes things girly?

Lacy · Dec 21, 2007

Humboldt, you sweet soul. You don't need to do that on my behalf but thanks so much anyway. I was having a bit of a prob with my pm'ing so I deleted it.

Humboldt buddy!!!! With ALL DUE respect, because you are a very knowledgeable and experienced grower but you gotta try an MH or something other than cfl's.

I have only grown with cfl's so did not know any different or better methods until now. I researched and read what others had to say about other lights and so forth until my curiousity was peaked. Thats when I started my search.

Althought this is only a 100 watt MH light, it is working incredibly well. I have what I think is a mango plant that is about 1 month old or younger and I thought it just had droopy leaves. Over night the leaves came up and now look like umbrellas or little parachutes. Its totally incredible Humboltd I kid you not!!!! I will take some pics. before and after in only 24 hours.

Get a MH light and a hps or a switchable one is even better.

I am going to differently get an air cooled fan because from what i have read it actually cools down a lot of people's entire grow rooms. Thats worth it to me.

P.S. My computer is working a lot better right now so I will check out some more of your pics.

First I have to make some coffee. I'm fadinnnnngggg. roll:

KP Too!!!!
hey girl! hows it growin'?
I haven't seen you in a bit either.
I got a little 100 watt light and am totally mesmerized by it. I can't wait to get an entire system. Way cool and totally exciting.

I'm gonna making gingerbreads or some kind of baking today. I am having company over for the holidays so i have a lot to do.

Hubby is taking the little dogs for the day. So basically he's 'doggie sitting' today.
Gets them outta my hair for the day.

Have a wonderful holiday KP!

looking good lacy. how old are they now?. looking good, when are you going to use the bigger lites?. keep up the good work.

Lacy · Dec 21, 2007

Thanks crazy. I am not gonna use bigger lights until I have my grow room built and finished, otherwise there is no point really. Right now I have enough space to provide 424 watts of light including my 100 watt MH for vegging. I still haven't used up half of the space so I;m good.

The plants are just under and just over a month. About 27 to 32 days old. (I think. I would have to check back. They sprouted right after my dog was killed so it is a bit confusing for me. I know my came up close to 1 1/2 weeks after Tahoes. I think.)

I am looking at some really nice light systems now and I am not in a big hurry which is better.

Here are a couple of pics of what i think is a mango plant.
One pic is from 4 days prior under fluorescents and the other one is 1 1/2 days under 100 watt MH light.
The fan leaves just lifted right up. These leaves are HUGE. i have never seen a plant with such big leaves before except for in other people's journals.

pencap · Dec 21, 2007

Hey Lacy!!! Looking great there.....I feel you on not going back to CFL's.....I only have 2 150's and ya need sunglasses! Hubb will know where to find his fishing shades from now on, huh??? LOL! Rub your finger underneath that mango plant and then smell your thumb!! Ewe weeee!!
PS.....No snow here....I'm wearing shorts and flops!!!!!! Who knows, I may be wearing gloves and scarves in 24 hrs...you just never know in Tx! Happy holidays everyone!!

hehehe

I'm back. School......*sigh*. school is a pain.

I will be heading home for the holidays. although i'm not sure when that might be. It'll be sometime this weekend probably. I think i'm gonna order seeds soon so that they can come shortly after new years so i can start my new grow. The holidays are throwing my timing off so i'm not sure when I should order. I'm planning on getting some ATA tundra from dr. chonic. I've never ordered from them before so i'm not sure how long it'll take. It maybe already too late but oh well.

I still haven't done much holiday shopping...oops :roll:

mattso101 · Dec 21, 2007

It doesn't sound like you are enjoying school much Kant.
Thats too bad.
I'm not sure why you have to order seeds at a certain time. I suppose it has to do with school and where you are and all.
ATA tundra sounds scary almost. Sounds wicked too

I have a bunch of different strains but so far I have only been able to pick out mangohopefully I will be able to pick out more once they flower.

My friend called me up and said he had somehting for me so I went to visit him and he gave me a 1/4 of bubble gum. OMG! It really does taste like bubble gum.
Nice christmas gift. Nice friend.

Have a great holiday kant.

yes sir. I am using 2 double cfl's and the 100 watt MH. I LOVE the MH.
I will never go back to cfl's NEVER!!!!!!!!! I do have another 4 x 40 watt light that i will add in another week or two.
There is no sense in me getting a new big light now because I do not have the room built yet.
LOVE IT! MH
