Get rid of that bulb, it puts out way too much heat with little usable light to the plant. Put the 45 watt CFL back over your plants and think of putting them in separate containers. And read about lights in the several threads dedicated to them on this forum.

It would help to see a picture of the light bulb.

They look great for 17 days.

It sounds like an incandescent light bulb, put the 45 watt CFL back over your plants for now and keep it about 1-2 inches from the top leaves.

Ummm, what do you mean by 60 watt "plant light".

Those big 125 watt cfl's will do great, but do to your big open grow area I would put one of those big bulbs over just 2 plants. You have the right idea with the 27 watt and reflectors, would be great if you could mount the bulb directly over the plant though. How many of the big 125 watters are...

I am thinking of vegging for 21 days in 16oz party cups, then transplanting them into the final 8" pot for 7 days before going 12/12.

Found just over 4 quarts of extremely generic potting soil in my basement. It's listed as 45-55% aged pine bark, topsoil, sand, and perlite. I mixed in 1 quart of my finished compost and baked it at 160 for about 30 minutes. When I re-wetted it, it had a nice crumbly texture. Unforunately 5...

I will germinate 8-10 at first, being as though my luck seems to be about 25% female when growing from bagseed. Then hopefully I can get a few clones from the best females and make a cloning cabinet so I never have to worry about seeds again :)

I am not sure of the strain, but I definately got a "stoned" feeling and a good pain relieving effect from the bag it came from. So I am assuming a mostly indica strain. The seeds are very rubust and strong, and by far some of the best I have seen!

Bean porn.

The pics look great! I might have to supplement LEDs in to my CFL grow soon.

By the way FFA, your girls look great!

I ask about the soil since I have heard so many bad things about Hyponex, but that's what I used for my first grow with very few problems except for a small fungus gnat infestation (which I quickly took care of). I used crappy MG liquid houseplant food as well. But hey, it worked well enough for...

Any suggestions on decent, yet inexpensive organic potting soil? I can "doctor" it up with some of my good compost.

I was VERY impatient with my first grow, I should've let the plants flower for atleast another week or so. I harvested when the plants had about 1/2 cloudy trichomes with barely any amber. Since my old jewelers loupe is missing, I will go off of when the pistils start to change color this time...

I will be doing 24/0 lighting for 30 days before changing to 12/12. My first grow was 24/0 for only 21 days (plants were 8" tall when I changed the light cycle) and the plants maxed out at 16" in height with some subtle training.

Due to a vacation soon I won't germinate the seeds untill the beginning of March. I still need to do a few test runs with temperature before I commit to the planting as well. Luckily, the ambient temperature that the cabinet will be in stays 65 degrees year-round, so high temps should not be a...

I am currently building a 18" wide, 24" deep, and 36" tall cabinet for up to 4 plants. The 36" height allows 24" of vertical growth between the top of the pots and the bottom of the light. I am trying to go 100% organic with my grow as well. I am undecided on potting soil type thus far...
