You mos def need better lighting. You will get lots of stretch and minimal bud with these. My T 5 HO provides the biggest bang (coverage) for the money. Plus adding a few aquarium bulbs is like supercharging the grow. hth

Oh ya I did want to say #1 I am not so much concerned on how much I spend on energy right now lol any amount I spend is going to be less than the amount I spent buying my medicine on the mainland #2 I def already know there is stretching and it is not gonna be the best production, but thats why I got the auto flowers for something quick and it's a grow under my belt, so to say and I have plenty of bag seeds to experiment with and I have saved back some seeds from my attitudes shipment for when I have the better light in #3 I already know where to get good clones here!!!!

Damn shipping by boat takes longer than I thought :/. Good grow so far. can't wait until I can see what that 600watter will do for your babies. On another note Confidential cheese is pretty stellar, hope she can become a keeper for you just like mines.

Hell yeah! It's about time...

I ordered some equipment one time from China... shipped via some slow ass boat, and of course, according to Customs, the freakin boat's engine died in the middle of the Pacific and it had to be towed back to China, and then re-packaged on another ship, then slowly shipped back, again. Maybe thats what happened here. LOL

Cheers doll... lets see some pixxxxx

Hopefully today will be christmas...

Dude- I love my pressure cooker- I use it every week. Hopefully you got a stainless one and not aluminum- the aluminum ones are unhealthy because the pressure causes it to leach more. One of my favorite things to do is make beans from dry organic ones.- Everyone that tries them says they're the best they ever had...
2lbs pintos washed (and check for little rocks)
1 medium yellow onion chopped
1 fresh Jalapeno or serrano
2 medium cloves of garlic (I'd use more- but for some reason the garlic in beans under pressure adds a metallic flavor if you use too much)
3 strips of organic bacon cut into small pieces (the little bit of fat it really adds substance to the end result- and makes the beans much more satisfying and tasty)
Handful of sea salt (it's really important to salt before cooking- otherwise you get salty water and bland beans- it needs to cook into the beans- but u can err to the lighter side and you can adjust final amount after they're cooked by adding to taste)
a good amount of fresh ground black pepper

Every pressure cooker is a little different, but mine I cook on the highest pressure setting (some have variable pressures, some are just always on high) for 1hr, 13 minutes timed from the start of full pressure and steam starts bleeding off. Once the timer goes off, I just turn off the burner and let it sit there for 20-30 minutes till the pressure bleeds off (they continue to cook for that time). They will be really good, and you don't want to soak the beans overnight or anything... Another great twist is to follow the recipe but use black beans, when serving- top with fresh red onion, cilantro and a dollup of sour cream- it's the best "black bean soup"... Hope you try it...

Congrats on the early xmas Konagirl- I know you must be stoked

Hehehe yes I am thank you TB and about to post some pics, still not the complete product, but the light is out yay.... hehehe oh and you uh cook too lol

hey Kona. im loving that light, serious deal. with all the EQ you have now you should be able to make a cloner NO problem remind me to take some pic's and i'll explain my cloning tote. 100% success rate in dirt for less than $50.

one thing.... start Supercropping that widdow..... the stem is thin enough to start scaring me, super cropping will fix that if done delicately and whenever possible. https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/413359-supercropping-canopy-control.html

Edit: super crop the main 2 stems and the lower 2 that are streching up... you will be amazed with the results

wat type of soil did u use & wat type of lights & cycle? would i get definite results using feminized seeds?

very nice light kona your plants will love you for the extra light

Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and nutes, I just got my 600 watt today but before that was using a bunch of cfls 18 on and 6 off hahaha and yes as long as you don't stress the plants you should see results from feminized seeds

You are going to love that light!! I was groing with CFL and Fluorescent bulbs... and got the tent with a 400 and it does wonders!! very pleased with it! not to say that you can have similar results with fluorescents and CFL's this is just much more user friendly.. plants look great BTW!!

Thanks ya I am super stoked, my intentions were never to grow with cfls lol I bought the light on e-bay and it got shipped on a boat so it took almost a month to get to me...so had to improvise in the meantime!!!
