    Default Re-potted

    30 March

    Noticed some roots had grown out the bottom of the 6" pot into the water tray. So I re-potted up to an 8" pot fairly smoothly with little mess. I hope it wasn't too much of shock for her? I also picked up a second hand alum conical shade which I think might reflect the light down better. So will see how she is in the morning.

    Oh and I'm running the light on a timer 17 hrs on and 7 off to match my sleeping because the timer makes a loud click when it switchs in my bedroom.

    After re-potting she didn't go into shock and in fact the growth rate has increased considerably which could be due to the new shade. Noticing some deformed leaves so need to research this...

    hi cat girl,

    you may want to put a sheet of newpaper down at the bottom of your container... this will allow water to escape but keep your roots IN...

    I usually pour about 1/4 inch of PERLITE at the bottom of all my soil grows.. along with the newspaper... roots love this...

    love

    Default 105 W cfl

    Ok it's the 12th May 07 and I've just increased the cfl from a 45 w to a 105 w and drilled some vent holes in the top of the alum shade cause these things do run a little hot and increased the distance to 6" from the top of my baby.

    4 nodes high so far and still growing strong with lots of healthy leaves

    Hey there KP. Thanks, the cfl is not burning hot, but it could cook a little at the top of the fitting if it's not ventilated as the 105 w do have big vent slits around the ballast area which is at the top well away from the plant so I don't think there is a real danger of plant burn from heat. I will keep an eye on things and if the light fitting gets too hot then I'll switch it to brass non-plastic. I think I did get a bit of plant burn at the start from the 23 w tornado I was using first, possibly due more to the color spectrum than heat

    It's not hot in my closet so I think my 'silver pearl' will like the little bit of warmth. Just popped a thermometer in there to see what the actual temp is at ground zero... and seems to be around 26 C or 78 F at the back of the closet on the lip of the pot which I'm thinking is good.

    My next mission will be to get something to leave in there to keep the smell down which is ok at the moment but I can guess will get worse. Not too good going out with my cloths emiting a mild hue

    Default cfl kelvin rating

    Just did some research and found that a cfl coolwhite is in the 4000 - 4200 k range which is ideal and the daylight runs around the 6400 kelvin.

    So I'm guessing from what I've read here that the 105 w coolwhite cfl that I've now got should be ideal for veging and budding when I drop the light to 12/12
