Total Wattage: 293w

The flowering setup is made of 6 24w T5's at 2700K which put out 2000 lumens and will be setting 2 65w 2700K cfl's on the sides each at 4000 lumens so I am at 20000 lumens with them. Total Wattage: 274w

Well, thought I would update...

I put the 5 on 12/12 since I am a little impatient with my grow, (probably why I toasted my first batch...)

So after reading many threads, I seen that some people put theirs on 12/12 right after sprouting, so instead of waiting for them to get 18'' high I started now.

Here are the pics ...

There 1 side pic and 1 top pic of each one...

I am having trouble with temps, can't find a way to get temp down, (outside temps start at 30 degrees in the morning and go to around 38 mid day - my 12/12 is set to turn off 9 in the morning and back on at 9 at night so lights are off in the hottest hours - and works good with my work schedule (can check them before leaving and check again when I get home at night)) any suggestions ?

Hi to all again,

Would it be recommended to trim fan leaves from the middle of the plants to get light to new smaller branches comming out ?

Any suggestions

UKcyrus · #15 07-26-2008, 04:34 AM

na mate dont trim use side lighting to help.....

Well, thought I would update the grow log of mine,

I think at least 2 are females, I tried to take a couple of pics of what I think are the hairs...

I am a little suspisious of the lighter green to leaves, with darker lower ones - any thoughts out there ?

Also a couple of pics of the T5 setup I made...

Any comments ?

is it just me or do those stems look ridiculously big? how many lumens do you get out of that t5 setup? and what do you use for nutes...i wanna tube setup now

...sorry if im asking a question you already answered im just browsin

caddyluck · #19 08-02-2008, 11:15 AM

the light green is just new growth, they look good overall, nothing too worry 'bout, doing good--looking good!

only nutes used is a simple liquid that I got for "flowering plants" with a 4-6-7 N-P-K ratio, but only used it twice

I am pretty sure that on eof my big buds is a male..
