i think im just gonna go with a 400w system that can use mh or hps that comes with both bulbs and a timer for free.High Tech Garden Supply

im a bit annoyed because the reflector is a bit rubbish, just a dome over the bulb which is reflecting the vast majority of the light back onto the bulb.

i really want a double wing reflector but these are like £40/£50 which is more than i spent on the ballast and bulb combined!!! i really dont want to just throw a load more money at this grow but it might have to be done!

Why not make one?

true, i could buy some aluminium sheeting and bash one together, i have zero metalworking skills tho, so although banging a sheet into a double wing should be quite easy, getting it attached to the bulb holder, and doing it safely, is a different matter all together. and even then youre looking at about £30 for the aluminium alone.

I'm sure I've seen it done with just aluminium foil. I dunno how effective it would be though, but perhaps it may better than what you've got now?

you can bash together ghetto reflectors nice and easy with CFL bulbs, i did it myself with my last grow, but these lights are FAR hotter and anything other than aluminium poses a fire risk.

i think i might get some and instead of attaching it to the bulb holder i'll suspend it just above the bulb. that'd work nice.

now its time to introduce the whole gang.

youve already met big bang:



but here are the rest!

Strawberry Haze:


the Blue Cheese


skunk #1


Alaskan Ice


and last but not least, white widow! shes had a tough start in life as you can see, her seed was immature and didnt open properly, so one of her starting leaves basicly rotted inside the seed case. As i gentle peeled the seedcase away the dead leaf just came away with it. but as you can see shes not letting it keep her down!



so there we have it, 6 plants, 6 strains, all feminised seedlings!
