He's angry because growing is not as easy as he hoped it would be. He thought he was gonna pull a pound and now he's realizing that he may never be able to harvest anything. He thouget buying equipment was the first expensive step to success. Now he sees it might have been a bad investment. .guy doesn't want to work for the man now he's in such a big hole he may not have a choice. he hates that we can't tell him how to Successfully grow pounds... I think.
You overstep some in what you're saying. I am actually doing alright right now. It may be a bit soon to tell but I think my plants may be healthing up some since I gave them some proper nutes. Also doing well on my second batch so far. You're probably one of the more supportive people that's posted on my threads but ya gotta drop the negativity and assumptions. Ya I started out with unrealistic goals for the space that I have but right now I'm thinking between half a lb to a lb, that's realistic since I have a total of 13 plants going and so long as my first batch doesn't go downhill then I have no doubt that they will do well. Then there is the unexpected variable that 2 of them are autoflower and may produce quite small. I have no experience at all with autoflower since I didn't look those up, I was only expecting to deal with feminized or potentially male plants. At least 7 of them will be fem though since I know for a fact that 7 of them are from the white widow seeds.
Thank you for the pro tip!
Haha! No worries, I knew who your comment was directed at.
I hope you're grow turns out the way you want! Growing aint hard, but to stay practical and not waste time and money isnt easy to do. When you start growing for 5 years+ you will start to discover how easy and quick it can be to grow its almost impossible to fuck a plant up. Mr sunshine took his time to help you because we all know what type of experience you have by the questions you asked and pulling clones before maturity on a random strain.
250w actual draw, the LED itself is supposed to put out just over 400w though. I also have a 200w CFL that I'm going to be adding to the room, only reason I haven't yet is that I'm going to be staggering some of my grow and I'll need the 200w to finish the veg cycle on some of my plants.
Umm ya, cloning that wasn't really a primary goal, just an afterthought. I was topping the plants and decided on that particular plant to try cloning it just for shits. Frankly I don't need clones, I've got 13 plants going and not even enough space to let those grow the way that I'd like. I only pulled the clone to see if I could succeed in making a clone.
That's a marketing gimmick...it's 250watts period..you will learn sooner or later.
It's an LED, the CFL is 200, so I guess if you want to go by actual draw its gonna be 450 total. As I've said before though there's too many factors with me being a beginner, having small grow space, cheap LED .etc. I'm not gonna sit here and say "I'm definitely getting X amount of yield" because that'd just be stupid but I will sit here and say "I'm going to try for X amount" If I don't get it I'm not gonna be surprised and shit myself over it, all I(or anyone else commenting) can do is speculate until the results are in.
Post a pic of you're cfl?
As I said the CFL isn't in use yet, I'm using http://www.mars-hydro.com/reflector-led-grow-light-144-3w-100.html for now and when my second set of plants is done I will put the 200w CFL in with the main batch. The CFL is the one on the far left in this pic https://www.webhydroponics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/125-watt-3.jpg
I am going with chemicals, I made that decision a while ago. I will experiment with organics later on but for now chemical nutes are the easy route.
