one thing to remember is that from what iv read you can expect a sativa to double in size during flowering and an indica to double or More during flowering. not positive on this as on my last (and first) grow i LST and didnt pay much attention to the growth so cant confirm it. my plants took...

cant exaggerate how good perlite is

fair point. well made. :lol:

sorry, didnt make myself clear, my bad. I meant maybe use more 6500k for veg then 2700k. I like to mix up my lights aswell but i have found my plants do better during veg with more 6500k then 2700k. What you thought i meant is 'topping'. Out of interest do you plan to top, fim, lst or hst at all?

absolutly love dinafems cheese. its probably my biggest grower.

alternatively you could ask the people selling the bulbs :P

experimenting is what i like to hear :P i would consider tipping the balance abit for the different stages tho.

As far as i remember you just wire it up normally no you dont need a ballast for any CFL's as far as im aware. i havent ever heard of a CFL needing a ballast anyway.

purple stem can also just be the strain, one of my plants has a stem more purple then that and is growing great.

Most people iv talked to who grow with CFL's recommend many small lights. This has the advantage of more light spread and penetration and is SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper as lower powered CFLs are more commercially available. it works for me. But addressing the OP's original question I have heard...

slightly stunted possibly but its kinda hard to say really without more information.

from one noobie to another, welcome to RIU. :) cannot tell you how satisfying it is to smoke something you have grown yourself. not to mention how much healthier it is (around where i am smoke is often sprinkled with glass or sprayed with other drugs) again, welcome to the site. smoke on and be...

love seeing people growing for the first time. it means the magic leafs influence is spreading :bigjoint: you growing bagseed or what?

thanks guys this puts me at ease. i really didnt think it was concise. i read it and forget what i wrote at the start :P dont have this problem with other peoples journals. just the way my head works. and thanks for the compliment missnu :) really kinda proud of them :P

so iv done my first real journal. iv never done a blog or anything similar before and i was just curious about somthing. have i overdone it? iv included a fair amount of info and it goes on for abit. iv also included alot of pictures. im just wondering have i made it to much of a chore to read...

cheers for the friend add. journal is looking good. good luck with it :) its also a good read :)

thanks for the replys guys. i keep my fan about a ft away from the first plant OO @O OO X if you imagine each 'O' is a plant and the 'x' is the fan, the '@' is moby dick. (the plant in question) as a precaution im moving the fan back another 12 inchs and turning to a lower speed. iv never...

ok so im growing a dinafem moby dick. the plant is 27 days old. my medium is soil and perlite (80/20 mix). im watering roughly every three days (or when ever its thirsty). im using bio-bizz nuits. there are 8 other plants in the room with the same set up. im growing under cfls. temp - 28degrees...
