A complete grow journal + pics

cool, thats pretty awesome u arent using alot of room, where did u get the 2600 lumen bulbs?

the 2600 lumen bulb is a 40w CFL you can pick up at your local hardware store. walmart also carries a few of these. they cost about $10 each

I just saw 42 watt 2600 lumen CFLs at home depot today for 10 bucks each. BUT, they do have the big ones for 15 bucks. I think they are 100 watts or something....probably the most bang for your buck. I see many people using them on here.....

$15 single cfl? ive never seen it... i always buy from home depot and check the entire CFL section but the best they got is 42watt

aside, where can i buy the 125w cfls that i see some people using? are they only available through ebay?

the 15 dollar CFL is not with the regular CFLs. Go to where the long Florescent tubes are, at the end of the aisle. They are down with the HPS bulbs and stuff....if your Home Depot has it, you can't miss it, its the biggest light bulb box with a picture of a CFL on it and it says 2700k in one corner and 300 waat in the other corner. Every home depot and Lowes in my town has them.....i forget what the company is called.

Here is the one from Lowes.....

the one from HD is the same thing, different brand. Not sure if it is worth it though, as this light as 3900 lumens, but the 42 watt CFLs have 2600 lumens and they are only 8 bucks......

thanks a lot swale, i will check this out tomorrow! *DROOLS* + rep

haha ive never seen that 300w cfl before, ive seen a 72w with 7000lumens tho, 13$ home depot right next to the hps and mh bulbs. its like a mercury bulb replacment or w/e, but shit 13$ for 7000 lumens, id just rather buy two and do the damn deal lol

alright enough talk from me and lets have today's update

its been 1-2 days since the molasses and lets see the results!!!

enjoy

note: i finally took a picture of the entire plant since i got carried away last time with learning the camera and taking pics of ONLY the buds haha.

DAMN! see that molasses really helps!, those buds look HELLA FAT! haha gonna need a good grinder to get all those crystals and shit whenever u chop. that would be some awesome keif. one hit wonder!

Man that does look good where can you get the molasses you need for this?

hehe the buds arent fat yet, theyre still in their early stages. in a couple of weeks they should show what molasses has done to them.

i bought my molasses at my local grocery store. head over to the Sugar section and its called Grandma's Molasses. some stores have it in a glass container with a yellow cap and label. however my grocery store had it in a white and green mini milk box looking thing. hope that helps

wow looks good. very nice, and whats the point of molasses?

From "Maximum Yield" magazine (November-December 2007), article titled "Why use sugary supplements?": "Simply put, flowering plants are burning these carbs trying to make large fruit or vegetables, or big beautiful blooms, faster a marathon runner trying to win a race. Not to mention that the process of photosynthesis, which produces the sugars, takes a lot of energy. By adding one of the organic carbohydrate supplements (molasses, sugar, etc.) to your nutrient solution the carbohydrates that have been allocated to the flowering process will be replenished more easily. This will save your plant the energy it would need to create those sugars itself, and your plant can focus more of its energy on the flowering process.


**NOTE: i dont think its recommended for hydro because of root rot**

so you just add the molasses in the soil during the flowering stage ? do you mix it with water or anything or just put it right on the soil and let it soak in?

stir with water

how much exactly are you supposed to mix in water and so forth?

i mix about a spoon per liter

oh i remember those days, i tried to do it in my hydro, but fucked it up and had to flush her. dont use it in hydro lol i think sugar water would be better for that area, and the molasses has to be unsulphated or w/e.

Damn your plants are growing fast.
Cant wait for mine to get like this +rep
