I have an old hippie friend that currently has 2 plants in just such a setup using T8's and one 65 watt cfl (I should have a pic soon) his nugs are as big as my forearm

It is a bit different to grow with only flouros but it is totaly posible, You simply have to watch how the plant reacts to the light and move it accordingly every day,

Ok I'm here :bigjoint:

For soiless mix I have looked at all the popular ones and IMO the best is Sunshine Mix #4 (what I will be using in my next grow) I am now looking at things to amend it with and will add a report soon

so i should go soiless?

also, whats the best method of watering/nutes in your opinion?
 
This is canna coco a+b nutes, just mix each with water

A lot of the simple stuff I have covered in my post and invite every one to read one or all of them (not a lot of threads, but they are long) the links are in my sig and at the very least you should read the calling all noob growers thread, Also I do not buy into any of the myths or hype so not gonna answer how much yield or how to get bigger yield questions


but quickly on the soiless, it is all about total control cause most of em have very limited nutes so ya gotta learn to feed em right and read em

Soil gives you a bit of time (cause there are nutes in it) and even I start seeds in soil then transfer to soiless after 3 or 4 weeks

and I totally explain watering & nutes in the calling noob thread
 
these pics are from one of my local students grow he has 2 23 watt cfl's and 2 dual 24 inch T5's, you can see the nug comparrison to the 23 watt cfl for size

So yes you can totally grow dank shit without the big lights :bigjoint:

i have heard rumors that extending the light period to 18 hours a day for the last couple weeks of flowering can help to spped up the finishing procress....do u kno anything about this or could u help me out t all? i just kind of ran into a time crisis and my plant is very close to done but not sure if it will be finished by the 30th of this month.
 
maybe riddles can chime in.. im not into veering far from the traditional when it comes to light cycles..theres lots of 'theories' about different light cycles..
Although i do sympathise with ur situation..

no the way to finish faster is to start doing 8/8 instead of 12/12

because there are 3 8's in a day you speed up 1/3 a day each day so every 3 days is actually 4 to the plant and you gain 2 days a week this way
 
Ok i got a question Im using a growlab 80L its 2x7 from front to back 4x11 side to side and 6x11 top to bottom. Im currently running a 600w digi ballast with 600w Metal Halide Conversion bulb. I have 12 clones vegging underneath how close should i have this currently sitting 3 - 3.5 feet above my plants. Is this to far away the temp is sitting at 78-80 degrees with tent closed at this spot.

I got a dwc with a couple 5 gallon buckets tubed togeather and a rez. I keep getting leaks from the fittings I had to install in the buckets and rez to connect the hoses to. What would you recomend putting around the fittings to stop the leak?

I would say it depends on where they are leaking? got a pic?

otherwise since I'm the soil guy perhaps SL can chime in
 
Hi guys,
I have been doing some experimenting with lights. I have been trying to find information on whether using different lights with LED's is beneficial or harmful? Does the white light from floro's diminish the reds and oranges of LED's? Or, does the added wattage benefit the grow? Any info would be great.

They will not interfere with each other mixed spectrum is a good thing

the PAR of the lights is much more important than the wattage or lumens there is a real good ditty on understanding the PAR of lights in my Calling All Noob Growers thread (page 4 I think)
