whats good my dudes! yo this is my grow and a mom has been confirmed so lets go! ive taken 11 8" clones already and waiting to root i only need 8. i have a diy 10 gal roughneck container w/ 8 slots 3 air stones positioned strategically w/ a regulator to adjust air flow evenly from the middle to the wings and vice versa. all powered by a 40 gallon tank air pump and GH nutes. my diy cfl light setup consist of 2 150watt sockets both in the same hood hung by nylon lines nused for adjustment w/ a center stabilizer bar, 4y adapters and 6 lights w/ a lil over 150 watts and w/34 watts of the 150 in the blue range, my theory is it may promote growth during flowering:eyesmoke: just waiting for them to strike now! tell me what you think!

thanks for letting me know what to expect, but for now this my first grow and i want to see what i can do with this, i was figuring the root will over run but i want to see how far i can take it b4 i need to change the lid over to a 50, i want to learn the corners and extremes of my mom for future reference plus also its a kush plant so 50 55 days and they will b yanked left out to dry. but again thanks for letting me not to count my eggs. i will take ur advise, eventually cause i know ur right but this will be a learning experience until i die! so lets get high until!

ya need more i did 10 plants with 55000 lumens and could have gone with a 75000 lumens system. I know its a learning curve but you will be more satisfied doing it right the first time

even in SoG if i keep the light as close as i can b4 burn, the length of the lights compliment the length of the container, but i understand doing it right the 1st time i just cant right now, slow motion!

but once the 1st 8 strike ill nurse them on hydroton rocks for a few days till roots grow some more. ill keep posted if anything advances, gets modified or goes wrong. im not expecting quantity now, but the quality outcome is what i want to see cause it was decent with seeds, now without and cured properly. i want to see the potential that i could pull from commercial grade. untill then...

i know, everyone wants to have a friend that can do something cool when they are having relations at a social event. they are like the scum of the name droppers.

def the scum man. but yea more lumens means more thc, which obviously means much more potent bud

ok now you've got my attention! im gonna replace the 2 27 watts w/ 42's and the 17 watts w/ the 27's, and add 2 more adapters and 2 more 42 watt for 8 lights and over 250 watts and almost 13000 lumens. thats as far as i can go now. anything specific will set stage for suspicion so thats why i went diy.
