Dyna Ryda & kaloconnection,

Those are looking Really Nice . . . For give my ignorance, but do you start them indoors then put them outdoors ?

I've never grown cannabis, but as soon as I get my MMJ Card I'll' begin to acquire the necessary tools I need to begin my first outdoor grow.

For Now I Have Been & Continue To Read, Read & Read Some More On This Site,
\ooo/

Yes, I start indoors under a High Output t5 light fixture and when they get big enough I put them outside to bud. It's a pretty essential technique to increase your yields and also be able to harvest all year long. Otherwise, your plants just start flowering right away if you start them outdoors and dont get as big.

It costs me an extra $20/month running an 2ft 8 bulb T5, 18hrs a day and it stays cool so a small fan is usually good enough to keep the temperature cool enough.

A t5 light, some good seeds, and proper soil is all you really need to get started growing your own. If can you mix up some good organic soil, like subcools Super Soil recipe, you dont even have to worry about mixing up nutrients/ph/and all that stuff.

Looks like she almost done stretching, triple in size sense I put here outside.


This is the blue widow cross, I cut the top 3 nodes off and cloned it, rooted fast. Today is her first day outside, i sexed her indoor, she's ready to go.

Are you sure it's only 20/month?
You are using 8 (2ft) T5... Each T5 is likely 24 watts each... 8x24=192 watts per hour or .192 kilowatts per hour (we'll use kilowatts since that is how the elec company charges u)
Cost of power is at least .43 per kilowatt hour on BI.. (Oahu is .35 KWh)
The formula for estimating your light costs are as follows:
Kilowatts per hour (KW/h) X cost per kilowatt hour($/KWh) X hours of light per day (h/day) X (days per month=30)
.192KW/hr X $0.43/KWh X 18 hours/day X 30 days = 44.58 /month on Big Island
.192KW/hr X $0.40/KWh X 18 hours/day X 30 days = 41.47 /month on Kauai
.192KW/hr X $0.37/KWh X 18 hours/day X 30 days = 38.36 /month on Maui
.192KW/hr X $0.35/KWh X 18 hours/day X 30 days = 36.29 /month on Oahu

Ahh, you are right. I was just going by my electric bill never really did the math. Guess I didn't really account for being a lot more conscious about turning everything else off in my house ever since I got my light. I still think the amount of yield that is gained is worth the $45/month compared to buying weed.

Come to think of it, I just did the math and it would only cost an extra $17/month to flower with a 400w during the wet months. All these fucking helicopters constantly buzzing around gets me all stressed out too.

LOL only reason I was aware of what your paying is that I am running 195 watts of CFL .... so I knew what the approximate cost was..
Lol just don't tell the wifey that you are using that much :)

I agree that the 45$ is totally worth it...

Running a 400 watt@12 hours a day would cost you approx 57 month...
So roughly $100/month for both Veg and Flower during those wet months... Still a good investment!

image.jpgMy blue Hawaiians I got gifted from Braddah Dyna Ryda. The three small one in the from are same age. Check out the difference between the two on the outside that's being brought outside everyday and the one in the front middle that's been inside under 18. The two on the outside almost doubled in height verses the one I'm keeping indoors. Plant genes are looking super strong with big green sun leaves. Great job breeding Braddah D. Gonna veg for another month them outside they go. Definitely gonna keep this strain going for a while, especially with its 8-10 week flower period. Alojahz braddahs.

and welcome to the forum Lahaina. If there's one place u Will learn how to grow some killahs, it's from this forum. If there's anything u need to know, these guys will give u their bestest professional advice. Shoots, happy growing

image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgHad some problems in the beginning with her but eventually she came thru. More "bagseed". She got a real hashy, piney, spicy smell going. She was my first attempt at main lining. I'm prolly gonna stick with my lsting. Been working great so far.

I leave my vegging plants outside during the day to save a few buck-a-roo's on the electricity.
