I have noticed a few people who have added blue spectrum (6500k) lights to their grow while flowering. What does this add to the grow? I have done a few grows now, but have only used red spectrum (2700k) bulbs. Just wondering what the pros, and or cons, off adding higher Kelvin bulbs are. If...

I am having a different issue with exhaust noise. I have a closet grow going. My carbon filter is inside the closet. I cut a hole in the top of one of the closet doors and ran the ducting to that hole. The exhaust sound is quite loud. I dont really want to spend the money on a separate speed...

Maybe I will give that a go, or just reposition the fan a little so the girls have more air to ruffle their skirts, so to say. Thanks Darwin Riddle.

Ive subscribed. Looks pretty good bro. I have one question though it may sound stupid. What you using the molasses for?

My stems are maybe like 1/2'' at the most. I am doing these in soil and three gallon buckets. Yeah.. I think I need to get more air flow directed onto my girls.

I get a light breeze but nothing to actually move the branches enough. My exhaust fan will actually MOVE the leaves a little. If I move my fan to where it is more directly on the girls then it blows to hard maybe. Still dont know if that is the problem though lol.

Not a circulation problem. Just wondering if not having direct breeze is what is making my stems weaker than expected. Wondered if it has anything to do with CFL's in general.

How is me showing some harvest pictures gonna tell you how my stems are thin and week? I dont get it... you just seem to want to see pix of my room and product.

Yeah I hear ya. My fan is just helping with circulation and not so much directed on the plants. The air isnt making the stems and leaves bounce back and forth. Thats my guess.

Dont have any pix right now. Just harvested. It was just an observation that I had. Im in soil and feeding with foxfarm beastie bloom and cha-ching granules. I have done some GDP, Blue dream, OG Kush, Blueberry Kush, and some Purps.

My fan is not an oscillating one. I have two 200 watt bulbs for top light, and a couple more 42's hanging in between for side lighting. This is just in a 2x4 closet. I keep my lights within 2-3 inches for the top lights and about an inch with the 42's.

So I just got done with my third grow. I have noticed a couple of things that seem not to be right about my grows. I want the readers opinions. One of the things that I have noticed is that my stalks, even the main, stay thin. Dont know if that is due to the CFL's or not enough direct air flow...

I for one will be checking in with this post. I am curious to see what will come of this technique. Experimenting is the fun part about growing. If it doesnt work out then you can try something else. Kinda like a haircut right? Good luck with your experiment.

That is the ACTUAL wattage. Yes the two 200 watters are pretty good size. Thanks for all the info, but I wasnt asking how to grow. This post was all about cycle time using CFL's. My grow's come out just fine.

Was gonna say damn bro, where did you get those? Im doing four right now in soil and I am using mild organic nutes. Dont think thats an issue. My water isnt filtered or anything like what you are using but I do ph it and my soil stays in between 6.2 (wet)-6.8 (dry).

I was under the standing that once you flipped the switch to 12-12, that is when you are to start you week count. Not when you show signs of budding. What would you count as those two weeks that it takes to start budding? Lost in limbo? Am I missing something? Maybe I didnt understand what you...

Ok. Glad you guys are having the same thing going on. Mine are going ten weeks minimum. Some (kush so far) are going as much as 14-15. Im running around 500 watts and getting 25,000 lumens out of four bulbs in a roughly 2x4 foot closet. Havent had a problem with quality or quantity, just the...

I would be interested in seeing what your setup looks like compared to mine. I am only putting out 25,000 lumens with the light setup that I stated. With only having four lights, I dont think thats too bad. Would that have something to do with the longer flower period in your opinion? Im...

I am currently on my third grow using CFL's. One thing that I have noticed so far is that my "expected" weeks of flowering may not be long enough. For instance, if a typical flowering period for a certain strain is eight weeks, mine seem to take closer to ten. I would think that my setup is big...

So did you just trim the/that bud off the plant? How spread through is/was yours?
