    **IMPORTANT** How Hot Do CFLs Get????

    enough to melt plastic. May or may not actually catch fire. I've found the daylight CFLs seem to get hotter than the soft light.

    Super Silver Haze CFL Grow Journal-First Grow

    great. Top notch smoke, everyone I shared with wanted to buy it. I got about 18-20 grams out of it- which isn't bad for such a small plant. I am on my second one right now.

    My first grow with bag seed

    Looking good. I agree that the yellowing is normal. they're going to get so much fatter in the next week or two. It's fucking awesome to watch.

    Help me with my harvest

    I have read those but still get conflicting opinions. The "What is the best way to dry and cure for smooth sweet buds" article says to hang the entire thing upside down. Others have told me to remove the fans leaves. Shall I assume the article is the law?

    Help me with my harvest

    Hi, I cut down a small silver haze plant today. I am getting opposing views on cutting before drying. Some things I've read say to cut the big fan leaves now, leave the small ones until they're dry then manicure. Others say manicure completely now. A third opinion said to leave it all there...

    Super Silver Haze CFL Grow Journal-First Grow

    I cut her down today. Cut it at the base of the stalk, as far down as i could, then hung her upside down (intact) in the box i used to grow. Temps in there without the light should be 65F and with 50-60% humidity. I took some pictures of the soil after i took it out of the pot. Looks a little...

    Smell of bud means more potent?

    I am so glad that people (esp gansters) prefer 9mm to .45, .50 or anything bigger. I wouldn't be here right now if rappers didn't sing about 9's all the time, and if gansters didn't think you held the gun sideways like in the movies. As it was I only got three holes in me..instead of being...

    Super Silver Haze CFL Grow Journal-First Grow

    Well, I bought a hand microscope from radio shack. The trichs are telling me she's ready- mostly cloudy, a few clear left and probably 1 out of 50 are amber. This happened so quickly, I haven't had more than 3 days to flush it. It's been a week since she was given 0-10-10 nutes. Also, I picked...

    Busted 4 days after 420

    Fire, you got a paypal account? You should because it's a really easy way for a lot of people to give small donations. I know you probably don't need it since you were running the largest operation east of the mississippi....oh nevermind... :peace:

    My first grow with bag seed

    How much are you watering? When my plant had droopy leaves I think I wasn't watering her enough. I had heard so much about over-watering that it scared me into under-watering. So now when I water I make sure to give it just enough so some runs out the bottom. I usually do this once every 3...

    -Cut off some of the fan leaves for better light penetration -It's getting tight in the box -Starting to smell stronger, I was wondering why it wasn't stinking, so that's a good thing -Buds slowly getting bigger and more dense. Question- Anyone know if I should expect a lot more growth in the...

    Amount of Bud?

    Try for 7,000-10,000 per sq ft. That's about 6 of those bulbs for one plant. You can go to Home Depo and get the y-splitters and lights for probably under $30. In CA the power company subsidizes CFLs, so 2000 lumen lights often cost about $1. Check out my grow if you want to see a small...

    Amount of Bud?

    You need more lights for sure. That's only like 2,500 lumens for two plants, and it's not going to cover very much area. Read up in the CFL forum- there's some good sticky posts about it and tons of journals.

    small HPS bulbs queston

    I see some smaller 150w HPS lights have a "medium base" that fits standard household lights, instead of the mogul base. Do you need a ballast or anything if you buy one of these bulbs, or could I just screw it in to a normal light socket? Here's what I am talking about. 150W HPS Medium Base...

    Is a 65W CFL (500W Equ.) enough?

    So you're looking at 1 bulb with 6,500 lumens and 4 more with 1600 lumens each. That should be enough to cover about a 2ftx2ft grow space. I'm a novice but I'd put the 6500lumens bulb at the top close to the plants and 2-3 of the 23w bulbs on the sides of the plant. Should be able to easily...

    Is a 65W CFL (500W Equ.) enough?

    You could probably grow one small, under 3ft plant with it, maybe two very small ones. 7,000-10,000 lumens per square foot of growing space.
