4th CFL Grow With Jungle Growth Soil - Blue Mataro and Afghan Kush x Train Wreck

heres the girls at day 8. they seem a little behind my bag seed grows but are still healthy looking.

lookin goodie

Looking good my friend, damn I forgot how long this seedling stage actually takes lol.. I've been spoiled with my perpetual lately haha..

thanks wally!!

LoL. thanks treez, i was just looking back at pics from my other grows and they all a litttle ahead of these 2. heres old bean, new bean, 1-1, 2-1, and molly all at 8 days, all bag seeds, and all females except old bean. the only difference up to this point is the soil, i really think the scott's hyponics is some good stuff.

Its not to far off though, Plus there different/ "better genetics" so maybe that has something to do with it. I have heard the KK is a slow starter, I didn't have anything to compare her to though. Here she was at 2-3weeks.

hey cool, thanks. i know, i just wanna see more than 2 leaves, LoL. off to turnout man, i get my kennel licence tomorrow morning, gotta sneak in 1 more time, LoL.

ok, heres a couple things i found on t5 lighting.

T5 Lights

T5 Lighting

i have read a lot about sunblaze. one of the electricians on the site said that the CFL's are just spiraled T5's

ok, thats still cool for my plant to put the 4 - 4 footers, one in each corner of the box. or maybe just 2 footers at plant level in each corner for side lighting. that should work, right? with the 10 bulb fixture hanging from the top. biggest factor being heat. i swear i posted this but couldnt find it, sometimes i think i just dreamed posting this stuff, LMAO.

Yea those t-5's don't get very hot at all either, my buddie uses them to veg and they do a decent job. I'm sure it would be much better with the t-5 cfl combo!

yeah, T5's dont get as hot as CFL's because there ballasts are normally seperate. the ballasts generates a good bit of heat. your idea should work well, but you will have to place the ballasts outside the box to minimize added heat

day 9 and the plants are looking very happy today. there getting bigger, soon they wont need a booster box and turn on all 4 bulbs. the pan of water seems to be working good as the humidity is between mid 30's to low 40's. you can see in the pic the way the air is drawn across the pan and up over the plants. temps are running at 82/84. everything going great.

im gonna have to think about the lighting deal, i really want some side lighting this time in the flowering box, i'll figure something out. maybe i'll just 2 t5's for that.

lookin gewd

yeah thanks wally, i think they'll start to take off now.

theyll take off more and more and more and more

heres a quick pic i just took, i turned on all 4 bulbs to see what the temps do.

also, i cut down raven in my other grow and i got 61 grams wet, its hangin right now in my closet drying.

Plants are looking good man! and congrats on the other harvest . I have just recently sexed 3 of my 6 plants as males . 1 is female, and the other two should show in the next couple days....come on females...haha

thanks wp, man 3 outta 6 males. no doubt, come on females, LoL.

day 10 for the girls, choo choo is still lagging behind rocky a little but all is looking good. man, the temps are such a battle, its going up to 90 sometimes in the box and thats only with the 2 bulbs on. humidity is good at just over 40%. im working on the temps but i really dont know what to do.

I'm telling ya buddy, take that circulation fan out of there. They do as much to hurt as they do to help. At least try it during the hottest part of the day. It sounds like your ambient plays a large role, so its hotter in your cabinet during the warmest part of the day, and cools down as the day gets cooler outside. Just let your exhaust do the work of that circulation fan.
