doesnt sound right.
my 42 watt cfl's are 2700 lumen or something like that...

my 18w cfls were only 500 lumens a piece russ0r

I agree with you russOr. My 45 watters are 2900 lumens, and my 23 watters are 1600 lumens.

as a matter of fact, looknig back, my 23 watt (100w EQUIV) were 1600 lumen.

so he means 23w.

Now the 42w being 1000 lumens, i don't know where he got that from.

oh well, for 2 plants, they will survive with those cfl's, i cant say much for quality when flowering though.

ya its a 26 watt = to 100 and a 18 watt equal to 42 watt

Grow-tips for Matanuska Tundra

Matanuska Tundra is a unique plant. It originates in the valleys in Alaska where it grows outdoor, and that probably influenced the following characteristics.

Leaves

The leaves of Matanuska Tundra are very distinctive. The first 3 or 4 sets of leaves can be variegated. This means that they will have white stripes through the leaves. They will grow out of this phase, it's nothing to worry about. Sometimes it will come back later, but also that is normal.
The leaves are very big.
Sometimes the inner part of the leaf seems too big, causing the leaf to be a bit bubbly. This is also natural characteristic of Matanuska Tundra. It resembles the symptoms of overwatering, but it looks a bit different. A photo of a leaf will be exhibited later.
When are the buds ripe?

Most marijuana plants show that they are ready for harvest by the hairs which have shriveled up and turned brown. Matanuska Tundra is different. Very few if any hairs will turn brown.
Here are the signs that show that the plant is ripe:

• The female flower consists of a seed pod and two hairs. The seed pod will swell up during the flowering period. When the flower is ripe, the seed pod stops getting bigger. If the seed pods on the top bud are shrinking, the top bud is a bit over-ripe and the rest of the plant is perfectly ripe.
• The crystals on the seed pods are transparent during the first 4 to 6 weeks of flowering. When they ripen, they first turn milky-white. A week later they will turn amber. When the crystals on the top bud have turned amber, the top bud is a bit over-ripe and the rest of the plant is perfectly ripe. Look at the crystals on the top bud with a magnifying glass to observe the crystals turning from transparent to milky-white. Keep an eye on the seed pods to measure their size.

Hey Mogie.

do you have a grow journal? or a thread with your grow? I remember seeing some fantastic clone shots of your.. correct?

cheers
