Soil grow, so that could explain some of the slow growth. PH has been solid at 6.8 almost the entire time. I'm pretty sure yellowing occurs when there is a lack of light. put some other plant out of light for 2 days and you'll see it. Nutes haven't been a problem other than a slight over...

I'll look through some pics I had of my CFL setup and post them. Things were pretty smooth during veg other than being slow. We're getting raped in California. 400W x 24hr somehow end up costing about $80 extra a month. I backed off to 18/6 since the plants actually seem to like that better...

I really wanted to see 226g out of my rubbermade, but I just didn't see how that's possible at least in my early stealth box pipe dreams. .5m² of plant only space I'm assuming. I was trying to figure lights in to the same space, with no go. I suppose you'd need a good 15-30cm around the boxes...

Don't get me wrong, I am totally not hating on CFL's. I still use them for side and underlighting. Veg 3 months from seed to what I thought was tall enough for the yield I need. Money issues backed me in to a corner where I needed it rather than just experimenting with it so I had to veg...

Wow, this thread.. Too much OT bashing. Although, I've been reading it for like 6 months now and got lots of inspiration and ideas. Here's some quick notes of my experience with CFLs. I vegged 6 plants under CFL. 3x2700K(126W), 4x3500K(120W) and 6x6500K(162W). About 408 real Watts of CFL...

Late post, but I'll weight in. Definitely don't use Club Soda - Lots of Na(Sodium). Don't use Seltzer -1/2 the Na of Club Someone already said it I'm sure, but Na clogs stomata. Use Sparkling Water. ZERO Na, just H2O and CO2. Arrowhead Sparkling Water, Non flavored as...
