Just wanted to see what you guys thought of my lovely ladies( hopefully! ). I have 8 lil ones that are 16 days old today and they're potted in Fox Farm Ocean Forest. I fed them once with superthrive when i transplanted into they're new pots and they loved it! I water once every 3 days and they seem to be doing really good.


My lights consist of 7 27 watt 6500k CFL's and 2 45 watt 2700k CFL's and 1 14 watt 2700k. I'm gonna add more lights as i go, but they seem to be doing just fine with these... if you think otherwise, lemme know and ill add another few if i need too lol.

Any thoughts, comments, or advice is welcome!


P.S. They aren't yellowing, its just the lights lol.

Yea, i was thinkin of adding about 2 or 3 more 6500k's. I'd love to get better lights, but i just don't have the funds lol. CFL's are more in my price range.

Stonedz,

+rep for the great grow, and welcome to RIU.

You know, I understand your thought process with "need more funds for better lights." However, you will be surprised when you find out these few facts.

1) You need about 7 CFLs for one plant.

2) At the cost of that you could buy an HID, hell even a $80 HPS from Home Depot.

3)If you are worried about running cost, heat, and initial cost, then I would highly recommend you look into T5 HO flouro tube technology. One T5 equals roughly 6 T8s (T is the size in diameter of the bulb, T8 is the common size, T5 is the thin kind, I suggest you do more research over my half-baked explination).

I use 2 T5 6500k 2' bulbs, 2 T8 full-spectrum 2' bulbs, and 4 26w 6500k CFLs. That was sufficient for my 3 plants last spring, but JUST BARELY.

Keep up the good work, keep us posted.

I've got 6 LA Confidential (from bagseed) and 2 unknown bagseed lol so i'm hoping at least 1 LA is a female. I'm thinkin ill veg for about 2-3 more weeks so about a month to a month and a half total.

Awesome stonedz dude..... Bless america many props honestly that was perfect stondz.... U have all the cfls u need for vegging bro, keep them as close as possible, play with them a lil, 1-3 inches from the tops is standard. Watch ur leaves cuz they will start reaching for the lamps lol.

Yes on a budget its amazing what an inexpensive hps from the depot will do maybe tripple ur quantitiy during harvest on a small scale grow like urs. + reps dude keep up the good work!

I was looking at the HPS security light from home depot the other day, and i think im gonna get it for flower for sure, plus a bunch of 45 watt 2700k CFL's. I've just recently been hearing about T5's and i kind of wish i got one before i bought all these CFL's lol.

Lol when i started these seeds i didnt think any of them were gonna sprout... and they all ended up showin they're lovely faces.

Thanks for the rep, +rep to you, for the info!
