Stealth 165 watt CFL grow

Just put the bud into jars today becase it`s getting hot around here . The pics are just of my main plant that has been lsted a little , it`s going all purple but I think it`s the strain or phenotype maybe it`s top 44 seen some of that strain`s plants stems go that colour . Need some advice on the unsexed plant can`t tell if it`s female or male yet will just let it go a few more days then see .
Pics are of the Swazi at the back the swazi bud that i just jarred and male and female skunk plants that are purpling the other two strains stems are still the same and in the same pot .
Does anyone know what that white vein on the middle of some of the plant`s leaves are caused by think something is up with my soil can`t check it so will have to make do .
Peace have a good weekend .

i think that's fine, genetics maybe, just a bigger vein

Okay cool I`ll get better soil soon the redding on the hybrids is looking cool it happens on some of the pure sativas sometimes outdoors for me , not as drastically though .
Atleast I`ll have some buds cured for this matric dance I gotta go too in a few weeks lol .

Heh all following the grow got another 270 watts +- that I`m going to add to this at some stage just to lazy at the moment . If i hook everything up I`ll be at over 400 watts but i think i`ll just boost it to 300 watts and see how the temp looks need to get a thermometer too . Got two more 85 watt 6500 k spec because somewhere had them for 40 bucks a piece in my currency which is only 5$ will probably need to add another fan though .

Added 85 watts how come the one 85 watt cfl is bigger than the other dudes ? I`m guessing the smaller ones are better because the smaller surface area gives off less heat ? . I got another one of these 85 watts too add they are unfortunately 6500 k but it`s fine i`ll use them for cloning if i upgrade sometime .
Up too +- 250 watts of cfl and temps still seem fine I`ll see how plants do at this wattage before upgrading aslo , am I using the same amount of power as an 250 watt HID it`s still all good think i`d burn down the place with one of those in their and I spend less cash on it . Electricity bill still less than 20 $ a month so it`s all good happy growing guys .

some cfl bulbs of same wattage do vary in size, presumably because of different technology
always pays to be sceptical, some bulbs work better than others and the labels aren't always as true as they could be

^Can anyone look at the ratios of this fert and tell if it`s decent for vegging and flowering ?
Using that and molasses any other organics I can use to help flowering going to go get some more lights soon and another small fan too put in there . Thanks lol its not the best stealth but the landlady been in twice and didn`t it so it works . Just hope these hybrids don`t stink the whole place up the swazi just smelled when i disturbed the bush . Peace all .

it looks to me like that'll be good for vegging, i wouldn't use something with that much nitrogen for flowering but that's just me. too much nitrogen in flowering can increase necessary curing time and fuck with the taste

Thanks yeh its still like 4-6 times cheaper at any other place I can find it So going to buy a shit load of them it says 85 watt of box and bulb except this this one was has a bayonet connection . Could just be different technology like you say or perhaps the fact that I got them at China Town the ones in the shop are made in China too so makes no difference .

Ja but the thing is that I don't trust the chinese shops.. Not here haha it says 85watt but irs propably 20 true watts! I'm too scared that they are not legit bulbs and even if they are only 40 bucks, is it really worth the risk? Do you think they are legit bulbs? You would know as you can compare them to your current 85w bulb? Is the bud you are drying dried out yet? What's the weight?? I want to see how much you got, you must take a pic of the entire crop on a table or so when its completely dry and pruned and ready to smoke

Yeh just to get cash to buy a scale or to go visit at my gf`s gran just gunna bag it take it in my large jacket slip into the room with the scale get weight and picture as a last resort but I`m telling you at all costs I`m gunna get that dry weight before i touch it . Got plenty of other bud swaz and skunk to supply me so long xD . The bud is still quite wet that sounds like a plan will do that you sometime lay my plant`s bud out for you with some size references to see how much i got looks like one and half R100 swazi`s cept it`s indoor and allot better .
About the bulbs I dunno it`s a little smaller seems to put out same amount of light it could an 68watt or 48 watt but i think 68 watt min because the thing is still quite big and maybe is just smaller because it doesn`t have the massive screw in like the other one , but i seen 85 watters with normal size screw ins before aswell so it`s confusing . Still 40 bucks in our currency is still lank cheap though weather it`s an 48 watt - 68 watt or 85 watt .

Thanks dudes . The smaller ones just getting rain water no fertz . The larger ones have all been getting fertz for around 2 weeks now .
Think I just nuked that one plant with two much N as it got bonemeal and organic compost .
Thanks for advice reppin will look for something with that kind of ratio to add some boost to my flowering . So far I only seen shitty chemical rose fertz so will have to look around .

Forgot to say I meant ratios of your own.. I know that was like a week or more ago lol. But I meant feed them some Grow nutrients and some Bloom/flowering nutrients, not in the same bottle unless you can find a well balanced nutrient with a fair amount of N to P & K. The Iguana Juice Bloom I use is 4-3-6, I was recommended this by a friend because its mostly organic, not as high in P but I also fed Big Bud from weeks 2-4. 1 half litre of each solution and I started at quarter strength. Looking back now I wish I added more N to balance with the P & K. I've been reading too much P & K can cause N lock out and that might have been what is making my leaves die off too soon. So start with a larger solution of grow nutrients in first week and feed a small solution of bloom nutrients a few minutes after feeding the first solution. The next week use less grow solution and more bloom solution until you're using your bloom solution only and by then you should be able to increase on your bloom nutrient to full strength(I suggest to start at half strength or quarter)

I think that would be a good early flowering nutrient. but i would stop using it after 2 or 3 weeks and switch to something with higher P & K. I like that the nutrient in the pic had other important nutrients in it besides NPK too. Sorry I didn't see this sooner.

Thanks I found a place that sells bounceback have you heard of it ? think I`ve seen it mentioned on here and it`s probably the best i can do for now .

i haven't heard of that brand but when you get it (or before even) post a pic of the nute ratios on the back and the good people of rollitup including myself will give our recommendations

Haha ja you should get a weight before you smoke it! How long will you be curing the buds for? I read you should atleast let it cure for a month but the longer the better? I don't want to wait that long, but if it will be better, I suppose I can. Been waiting for months, 1 more won't make a difference haha oh oky I see, I don't know, I still just buy mine at a specialized store, not to say brand bulbs, but just bulbs I know and already have so I know it won't give me problems in 2months time! But if yours work well and they produce buds, I live close to a china town so I will make a turn then haha and ja, will be cool to be able to compare the amount you get to mine when I get it and just to see what you got!

I googled it, it says it's high in manure (I was told to avoid this because manure has High N)
You need yourself a good PK booster. Can you order online? shipping would be expensive right?

Loads of Hydro shops here I can get nutes from online aswell as order internationally although I`m not close to any of the hydro shops at the moment . Their is this stuff turbo grow it`s like volcanic ash grey kind stuff that kicks ass and makes the cola`s get massive used it ages ago on outdoor grows . Thanks for making me aware of the horse manure in those fertz not sure what that stuff does but it seems to just make the plants streched because gave some outdoor plants it and they streched , Switched to mushrooom compast and it worked better . Peace

Update- Sup all just gave the flowering plants some molasses (ran out of it ) , so used honey is this fine ?????? and a little nitrsol for for now .

The plants are looking good all plants in the cab seem to be growing much better than with just desklamps ...
Got I think 3-4 different strains in the Cab - Swazi- one flowering plant and comp seedling , Transkei-seedlings , Some Skunk Hybrid (biggest plant ) , and one from a seed found in a gram from another grower don`t know the strain but was potent .
Lights-
Using 193 watts 6500 k and 56 2700 k ( red lights are rare here ) . Saw someone grew a killer plant with one 4000 k coolwhite 85 watt so we`ll see how mostly blue does .

Anyone with any suggestions to add go for it I don`t even know how this is going to turn out lol, Since last time it was like a jungle from just one swazi plant flowering with only 120 watts it was vegged 6 weeks though .
These ones are 12/12 from seed . They seem to be doing fine environment wise cab don`t seem hot at all will add another 85 watts sometime .
Peace all thanks too
Everyone that has joined the comp those who haven`t check it out on the CFL forum here .
