Week 5..need more light?Another sun vs indoor

hubertcumberdale · #1 05-20-2007, 05:14 AM

i have

1 48" tube floresnent ecoluxlant & aquarium(wide spectrum light)-1900 lumens--

1 48' tube floresnent ecolux: sunshine(full spectrum)2250 lumens--

4cfl's-23watts apiece

on nice days the plants a easy enough to carry outside, so they have been getting 7-9hrs of sun and the rest of the time is in the grow box. Shall i continue this?

the pics are of my top 4 plants...two bagseed & the two together are from an ounce of dro(which i broke up at once just for 3 seeds-lol)

Just trying to see if i need more light yet, i was figureing to put them on 18-6 as of tomorrow, to keep them short and for faster production...could i just skip 18/6 and go to 12/12?

Any help

Just a heads up...

Its very easy to get pests if you move your plants from outdoors to indoors... During the time its chilling outside, it could get mites or some other stupid bug.

Also, it looks like the last pic you posted has 2 plants growing inside the same pot? Thats not good to do, as the roots will fight with eachother, and innertwine, I think they are big enough now, to where the roots have almost fused together... Not sure what you can do with that one, if it is infact 2 plants in 1 pot.

Maybe some of the pros will have some tips for ya =)

Cheers,

OK

i have the 48" florors just above my plants, the cfls i hang in different spots during the week to try to even the time of the cfl's one each plant.

grow room is just a wood fort type contraption maybe 4ft tall by about 41/2ft wide.
i have a duel fan on low .and i can open the door of the box to let fresh air in (located near a large window)...

i've been giving them small shots of miricale growplant food.every three days.

Also a question about plants outside.Y are thier leaves larger and lighter green than plants inside.it seem that my indoors plants are darker and more"compact"lastpic

Any help on my dro plants..if they fused will one die
.they both look really good, and they reek...lol..kill one?

All help is appreciated..ty

send them now
your dealing with very little head room..in a month you can put them outside to finish and start another crop inside
Plants react different to different light..your outside one's are better off (100,000 lumens per sq ft from the sun) if you can keep the bugs to a minimum

i figured i flower as soon as i got the light, hence:
On the nut. def. be getting better..any cheap stored products or anything online worth recommending?

i'd like to think i can control the varibale better in that room..Also the roof is hinged,so head space is nothing..also to vent holes...fresh air is very abundant

thanks for the help Major
