$20 for one of thoes lamps? O.o I just when to Canadian Tire and bought light sockets, 120v plugs, berets and electrical tape. Doesn't look pretty but its done the safe way and it also lets you be able to mount them sideways so that the bigger CFLs cover more area
1 - In a hydro system you don't give them nutes every day unless you were growing in soil and you used very low nute amount.
2 - The amount of nutes you use doesn't mean you get a higher yeild.
3 - To much nutes will burn and can kill your plants.
4 - The type of light that your using matters...
your putting the branch into the bag and you use masking tape to close the open end. If you use the paper bag method you still use the masking tape at the open end to close it but before you take it off you mist the paper bag and the pollen gets stuck to it.
I don't know if you can re-use the...
if you use the plastic bag (not the cheep kind) and have pollen in it make sure there is air in it and have it taped to the branch with masking take and shake it a few times and let it settle each time before removing next I would take a non used one and do the same but just once to make sure...
5 top 6 plants you can use 6 to 10 13 - 14w CFL rated at 6,500K or as close to that as you can for veg
flowering - you need 45w 2,700K CFLs to flower with. SOG is best to use when growing under CFL
I agree. I think some one should do a well layed out grow journal using CFLs for veg and flowering to help new people or people wanting to have a better idea on how to use them.
here's a few rules I go by
1 - Don't tell any one
2 - Don't grow in places people can see or have a chance of seeing it
3 - Don't act different because that can give it away
