I just took these a little while ago. She is coming along very nicely, or at least better than I expected. I start "flushing" in about a month according to the Dutch Pro schedule. I noticed when I was taking pics that there was this really long strand of what looked like a spider web so I think I might have a "critter" of some sort but no obvious signs of pests. I think that if there is/was a "critter" that it probably didn't go far because the leaves are sooo sticky that I would get stuck to them. If you look at the reflections in the background you might be able to see the other side of the plant and notice just how many buds are all over this plant. Anyway, thanks for looking and if you see something that I should know about in these pics please let me know. Just over a month to go and I haven't killed it yet! YAY ME!!!

I'm a big hid man myself, but looks like you got a nice healthy plant there, how many watts total and when I say what I mean actual watts are you pulling with the CFL's over how many plants? If you don't mind me asking.

Not at all: there are six 55 watt biax or pll lights (aka 2G11)that surround the Tron on the inside and one 23 watt cfl, the one in the picture is a 2700k. During veg that bulb would be a 6500k. Thanks for looking.

I am still debating whether or not to convert over to HID. I know that you can do a lot more with HIDs than you can with a Tron but I am really intimidated by the possible electric bill during flowering. The jury is still out on whether or not we will convert over. If we get decent results out of our Tron then we keep it, if this grow is unsatisfactory then I might have no choice but to covert over. A $500.00 electric bill is simply out of our budget range at present.

My trashcan with fluoro uses the same amount of wattage as my CMH. A watt is a watt.

How many watts are you using now?

Think about watts/sf, how much area can you cover with that wattage, and why will your return be. Most likely, you'll be getting HID if you think in these terms...
