315W CFL

Hi I wanted to show you some advances, maybe it can give you an idea, light up your lightbulb.
1 white dwarf
2 Critical mass x Ak47
3 x 3,4 L black pots. (I can have 6 of them cause they're thin and tall. Just waiting to make a carbon filter which i've already designed)
2x 2700K 105W CFL
1x 6400K 105W CFL
reflector made of a box of cereal and some foil paper)
2 pulleys
There is a little pear tree for my girlfriend, I practiced lst on it before doing it on the white dwarf.

I see some Browning on one of the leaves, could be a cal deficiency, but this young, I wouldn't sweat it, anyhow I uses 400a cfl but i hang them in a Christmas tree pattern over 4 plants 2 dirt, 2 DWC, love the v outcome. Just works 4 me, also easy to maintain nutes and ph levels, but if dirt is your thing, them stick to what you know, but don't be afraid to study up and spread your knowledge,

I would say it's actually the substrate that's 70% humus. I shouldn't transplant from start, but the criticals are looking healthier and bigger (remember the little one is a white dwarf) I hear someone say blue and red led smd 5050 so I'll give it a try in some time. I'm boiling the water 48 hours before watering. I think maybe this could be causing issues

Actual or equivalent watts?

They consume 105W each equivalent to 525W

Some updates, glued some foil paper on newspaper pages and sticked them on the walls with some double sided tape.

So, here are the ladies! tried new lst with screws on the pot, so far 2 screws per pot, sorry about the quality of the pictures. Upgraded Closet too, looks very nice now and the girls are getting more light because of it.

Hello I'm posting some updates, I've upgraded again with an inline fan and a carbon filter connected to a mixed exhaust check this out (no pictures of the inline as I've just installed it)

Seen any signs of sex?

Thank you, I bought some wool I hope it works, next time I'll try hemp!

I'm switching to LED thank you for your support, coming soon DIY 240w LED SMD 5050 Panel 3:1 R:B.
Looks like little white dwarf is going places, and the other two I had to tie their branches
Oh BTW I'm doing 2 hours of sun tanning with a 26w UVB exo terra light

I don't lst but when I grow veggies in my outside garden or when I need to tie my plants up in my grow room I use old pantyhose from the kids instead of throwing them out. It expands as the plant grows so it don't cut the plant.

I'm going to follow your advice when I run out of wool, as far as I can tell it's worked fine.
I chopped the last autos and got a little crop, it'll last for a little while, there is a feminized white widow on veg and an auto gum that's entering flowering (I will germinate a feminized OG KUSH from dinafem and I will transplant the two feminized plants into 5-7L round white pots).
It's supposed to be 240w of R + B Led 3:1 smd 5050 plus 3x 23w 2700K CFL, but I'm going to make a 300w MR16 12v Cree COB led panel with 12x 15w 3000-3500K and 8x 15w 4000-4500K (also I ordered 4 e27 15w Cree 2x 3000-3500K and 2x 4000-4500K to replace the cfl's).
I went on a vacation for 4 days so the ladies got a little dry but nothing a little water can't fix.
Here are some pics:

LMFAO your batwing reflector is priceless. An cardboard Quaker box bent over the light fixture with tinfoil on it. I hope you dont start a fire in your home aha

Yeah good thing it was only temporary until I learned how to solder.
So, should I cut off the burnt leaves?

Ok, so the girls weren't doing fine, so I changed my pannel and made a new one with 3 cfl 23w 2700K and 2 cfl 23w 6500K, I'm waiting for the leds I ordered to arrive,
Peace Out
