Some people like to run their 12 hours of darkness during the hottest part of the day to help with heat control. I personally prefer having the lights on during the times when I work with them the most, so I don't have to use a green light to see them.

Haha. Most would compare their lights to other companies' lights. This mofo' is talkin' shit on the sun. hahaa

Something like this should be great for you: http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-HTG-600w-Grow-Kit.asp If you want to have a veg and a flower room, perhaps buy another tent and use CFLs or T5s for vegging in it.

Fantastic, man. That Lumigrow seems like a beast. Have you topped or done LST or anything like that?

Ocean Forest is amazing. I've never had a problem with it burning my plants in any way. Love the stuff.

Welcome, Bologna, happy groundhog day. haha :D

Nice! Lookin' like some tasty smoke :bigjoint:

Disposable aluminum trays are great for DIY CFL reflectors. They are fairly cheap and can be found at just about any grocery store. As for how close; I myself have never used a 300 watt CFL, but I would guess 8 to 10 inches away maybe?

I've used SSE before. They are a great source of seeds. They always have varieties that I've never seen before.

Don't just get any spiral, cfl bulb. Make sure it's the right spectrum. 2700k or 6500k is good light for growing plants. Walmart has a 12 pack of 23 watt, 2700k CFL bulbs for $24.00 right now. That would be enough light to get some pretty good results. Good luck!

The plant will grow closer towards the light source if its trying to get more light. The cheap reflector probably isn't guiding the light very well. Your plant staying shorter isn't necessarily, a bad thing.

Mmm, any thread with "DIY" in the title gives me a boner. haha Subscribed!

Hey, No, I never tried to get them to produce fruit. I didn't know much about them, honestly.

Keep it coming, Brainwash. :leaf:

Rust naturally occurs in soil because of the iron. Rust will not hurt plants. Besides, we're both using aluminum, which doesn't rust.

Yet another occasion where magnetic ballasts are better. Use some cfls to keep your plants in sync until you can scrap the cash to buy a magnetic ballast, or an RF shielded digital ballast.

Fish tank filters won't prevent algae. Also, the carbon in the filter would absorb too many things that your plant needs to use.

A seedling outside right now? It would die in no time.

What would it contaminate my water with? I've never heard of metal hurting a plant.

Magnetic ballasts ftw!
