Hey dude, I'm doing something very similar to your grow, but in two 50 gal Rubbermaids. I've got the 150 cooltubed econolight plus about 8 cfls give or take depending on how hot it is outside (yeah it's December but, fuck Florida it's 80 degrees!)... I came across your thread a week or two ago...

Yeah dude you've got the spectrum spot on but I suggest using more lights/watts for flowering than you do for vegging, it'll work either way though.

Your best bet on that one is just to check out your local hydro store. If you don't have one check out Hydroponics | Hydroponic Supplies I don't know if they ship to the US but I don't see why they wouldn't. Everyone seems to favor Fox Farm nutes check out the Grow FAQ or search function to...

Plenty of wattage for 5 lowryders, just make sure you keep the plants 1" to 3" away from the lights

Good luck dude hope you don't get any more males

I use whatever the recipe calls for, usually. I hear butter can absorb more thc but oil is less likely to burn, and is usually less work in my experience. Both have performed really well for me though. I just made a batch of brownies using vegetable oil and they work as good as they taste.

Usually the smaller in size the fewer watts, so both. But it's better to have many small CFLs surrounding a plant instead of a few bigger CFLs that don't give good coverage.

Yeah dude 14+12=26 but it doesn't have to equal 24. Some timers limit you to 24-hour schedules but a lot of the digital ones have some decent cycle options. Plus he wasn't even using a timer at first so he wasn't bound by a 24-hour sched.

If you're upset about all this "hate", the last thing you should do is dish it right back. We're pot heads and are supposed to love everybody :(

Just imagining going through that makes me want to :spew: Sorry dude

I wouldn't use them in a socket that specifically states 60w is the max, but those 105ers (at least the ones I have) are designed to fit in a standard size socket so just find one with a higher rating to be safe. Wouldn't want a bad spark to burn down your plants/house, etc.:fire:

Looks like a good yield but I dunno about 3 oz. Looking forward to final measurements. :leaf:

Oh well it just looked like it to me. I don't know if it will work I'm not familiar with it.

Oh and as far as hanging your lights sideways, try using those Y-splitters I see sitting on the side. They won't be completely sideways but they'll still have better coverage.

Get rid of the aluminum foil immediately! It creates hot spots on the plant. Opt for mylar instead. I've got two of those 105W going into my next grow so I hope you see good results! You probably won't need too many more bulbs for just one plant, but make sure you have enough to get light to all...
