on to the grow journal!

Yeah, exactly what I was looking for, thanks :) Just wanted to make sure they were all getting equal light from both types.

Two things are making me use all three lights in both phases (veg and flower): Number one, I have basically no budget so the electric bill does not matter to me, and also heat shouldnt be an issue since the room im growing in is VERY large (I forgot the actual dimensions, ive owned the house for...

Hey everybody, I started my babies out with 4 125w 5500k CFLs, 1 100w 6500k CFL, 1 100w 2700k CFL, and 1 150w 2700k CFL, now they are in veg mode and it is time to put up the MH and HPS's I think (this is my first grow). However, At this time I have one 400w 4100k MH and 1 1000w 2700k HPS (both...

Damn, the first one has another set of leaves, 15 more have sprouted, and this goddamn plant is just chilling right at first leaf development stage. If it were dying it wouldnt be so strange, but it looks perfectly healthy. Like I said, ph is good (6.5-7 on all of them, i try to stay closer to...

In every tutorial i've ever read 5500-6500k lighting was used for vegging and 2700-3000k was used for flowering. Thanks for the tip on watering. What does everyone else think about the lights?

Pics are on the thread titled "Stuck Plant?"

Here are some pics. I had to turn the light sensitivity on the camera way down or else you couldnt see anything, just bright light, so it looks like its not too well lit (but it is). There are 4 100w 5500k CFLs, 1 50w 2700k CFL, 1 150w 2700k CFL, and a 75w incandescent "gro light". The first...

Damn, i realized after my last post that my wife has the camera in her purse (we went to a party last night) so Ill have to wait until she comes home from work. My baby isnt really anything impressive - Like I said it is only a week or two old and a few inches tall, id be curious on any tips...

To the first poster after me: Soil: I am using sterile potting soil, the same exact soil as the other plant. Lights: I am using 4 100w 5500k CFL's (one pointing at each plant, two in a modified light ficture with three sockets facing the plant), 1 125w 2700k CFL (in the middle of both...

One of my plant seems to be "stuck". It just will not grow any more. It is only in the beginning stages, it is about 2 inches tall, and it has been the same height for about a week now (im positive its the same height because when I stoop down and look at the pot I can see it just peeking over...

I decided on the basement. I have a fan going to keep the plants cool and keep the air moving, two dehumidifiers, and an air pump pumping air out the dryer hose (which should pull fresh air in from the rest of the house. I would leave the door open to the basement but it would cost me a...

The main problem with the spare room is that my wife and I (usually my wife) have houseguests over sometimes that sleep in there, not to mention friends that might catch a glimpse while going to the bathroom (the upstairs bathroom is in the spare room, theres one in the master bedroom but...

Alright, one last thing I need to decide. I could either use my spare room to grow, which is about 10x8. Or I could grow in the basement which is huge and has no areas where light can exit, so nobody can see the light from outside the house. Also, the dryer is in the basement so I could send...

Awesome. Thanks for the fast replies. I will definitely go with the soil mix thats growing fastest. Also the shorter one seems "wider" while the bigger one seems "taller". The only problem is keeping the light (I am only using one light, just bought it) close enough to the shorter one while...

Hey guys, One of my plants is growing twice as fast as the other. They are the same strain, and the only things different about them is that I decided to use a different soil as an experiment (the slow one is using potting soil with perlite mixed in and the fast one is using a different brand...

Hey all, Perhaps you read my first post on my plants I over-nuted and had to flush.. they are doing well and should be flowering soon, i decided to keep them outdoors where I moved them from the pots instead of doing a flush. Anyways, I have some new ones beginning to sprout (the first leaves...

Well hallelujah, praise the lord!! The transplant was a success!! Looks like two of 'em (possibly three - the biggest one looks like its popping back up!) forgot to mention in my first post - they are - two purple kush plants and two unidentified seeds I got from some schwag i found walking...

Oh yeah - on the light cycle - the regular day/night cycle seemed to make perfect sense to me, but every guide ive ever read has said 24 hours of light in the vegetative state. My plants were beautiful until I tried this damned 24 hour cycle with my crappy closet bulb. So tomorrow im turning...

Thanks. I did transplant the plants shortly after I noticed they were dying. They have been in their new pot for about 12 hours and they look a little better.
