Why do you think there's something wrong with the ph? It would seem strange that it'd be off considering i JUST transplanted them last week, but you are correct, i have not been testing the ph levels. I'm in the same situation as you, using very clean well water.

Hey All, sorry for the delay lately. Today was the first day of the bloom-phase, decided i wanted to ease them into it, so for the first 3-4 days i'll be doing 8 hours dark/16 hours light, then after that i'll switch to a 12/12 cycle. Ignore the horrible lack of light; these pictures were...

I was wondering about that; should i trim the leaves off or should i just let them stay??

Here's the poor damaged plant :/

I ended up moving them much closer, and so far results have been pretty good....except......... DISASTER struck today. one of my 23w cfl's became detached from its mounting and fell on one of my big plants (my 2nd largest one to be exact) and scorched it really bad, one chunk (1/4 to 1/3 of...

@LilMiggy I'll have to look into that for my next grow for sure; thanks! @MaD420MaN Just transplanted them today into larger pots; these will be the ones they'll stay in for the rest of the grow. I'll see if i can get pictures up today. @LostReefSponger They won't be in the tub the entire...

Hey man, sounds like you're really on a learning journey with those plants! How old are they now? Have you thought of getting a cheap (50-70) cfl grow ballast? that might provide the light/lumens your plants will need to really get cranking!

Well, i've read plenty about having them close, the only issue is that when i had the 23w cfl's that close, i'm pretty sure it managed to burn the plants because they turned away and even somewhat "wilted" (bad choice of words). Of course that was before i altered the setup a little better. I...

Mhmm, that's the plant that's showing the most issues, it's shorter than all the others substantially AND it's lower leaves keep yellowing. I've had a few other plants have slight yellow issues but correct themselves. The problem is, after reading...

Day 21, exactly 3 weeks from germination. Originally this was the day that i wanted to switch it over to the bloom cycle, but i've realized now my plants would be VERY short and stubby if i did that, so i'm giving it another week of vegging, maybe a week and change. Plants are coming along...

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay posting. Today is Day 16 of my grow, and i started the first of VERY diluted nutrients. Figured it'd give the plants a little extra boost, so i diluted it to the specifications on the label, then diluted it further. I'd rather be overly careful then burn the...

Here are the babies, they're about 1 1/2 weeks into the veg period (planted on Mon apr 4) . I know the way they're seperated looks outrageously weird/ghetto, but i had a friend this winter who did the same setup i have above (except with Bubblicious) and was able to transport them without any...

Hey everyone, this is my first official grow, going with the CFL route due to many reasons, and i'm really excited how it's gonna come out. Had 5 feminized white rhino seeds, and all have sprouted well so far under a 125w 6500k tube cfl. They just finished week 1 of the veg cycle, and the...

Wow, nice grow! How long did you veg the white rhino? how tall did both WR's end up getting by harvest? all that from those 12 cfl's? wow.

That didn't really answer the question... a 150's/250's are expensive once you buy the whole setup for them, then you add even more money for the cooltubes...would the cfl's even generate enough heat to really even matter anyways? they don't generate nearly the heat of MH/HPS lights.
