Yeah the 2 cfl's I bought were also 2700k, it seems hard to find the reds in those low wattages unless it's like a 200w envirolite. Can't wait to see your new setup... awww you mean I have to wait to see it haha dammit all this waiting I'm doing these days is making me loopy, patience is a...

HAhAHaha I do get excited when I see her, I might have spilt some:mrgreen:

Wow looking great Tahoe... I bet you are stoked at that. Only what, 12 weeks left:cry: It seems like forever but next thing you know, you will be flowering. Just a quick question, why did you choose 2700k cfl's? Are they all 2700's? If so, why not add a few blues maybe... just a thought I went...

Ok so took a pic of the UVB lamp if anyones interested. Also tried taking a pic of the first few hairs that are coming out, but they don't seem to show on the photos. You can see them easily enough first hand, I think I was pointing in the wrong place with the camera or something..anyways...

The bulb gives off a bit of heat, but you could easily hold it. It also comes with a starter which also gives off a heat, a bit more than the bulb I would say. Don't forget you could get the same 10.0UVB as a CFL, and you wouldn't need a starter then. But I do like my bulb as it's 30"/75cm long...

No worries, I just worry a bit for your first grow. If things start going tits up perhaps that should be your first query.. maybe. But lets hope that doesn't happen

Which the UVB light? It's a Repti-Glo.... 10.0UVB.....25w...which has 10% UVB and 33% UVA...and its made by Exo-Terra... you can find a link to what the bulb looks like here https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/33494-ww-16-days-growing-weird-7.html#post375149 hope that helps:peace:

Hmmm just read this Tahoe https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/28925-root-development-vs-plant-growth-33.html#post377988 Specifically this part I'm talking about: Air roots : in a plant's natural life in the earth, its roots get moisture from rainfall. After rain, the soil...

My lower leaves touch the soil and have died off, can't really see much harm now though as those leaves weren't getting much light at all. In the beginninig it wasn't a problem cos they were pointing more up when the light was hitting them. I wanted to use rocks like that as the topsoil gets dry...

Chuck a UVB lamp in there and bingo.. damn you would need quiet a setup to get a MH/HPS though, heat/space wise. I think thats where most growers problem lie, there's just not enough space and ventilation in most domestic houses to have such a large setup, well for me at least

Cool, find any good info? Like you say it can't do any harm, unless I overdo it, which my light can't do as it doesn't produce more than the sun can in the most intense UVB areas. And it seems pretty natural to me, outside plants grow better, as I've seen people on here say and I've witnessed...

yeah this one https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/14441-50w-killer-setup-god-knows.html

lol I'm surprised too, I guess they are pretty new and not much is known about them. But there must be some info, try googling it..

Yeah no worries Tahoe, enjoy the reading, hopefully something good comes from it. Like i said I bought a UVB light today and it's installed with my other lights, so lets see...

Here is another really interesting article, Skunk or Tahoe, think this has any relevance? MARIJUANA OPTICS: An elaboration on the process that makes THC

mmm some interesting finds on the net about UVB and fully realizing its THC potential Sorry it's so long but freakin enlightening, taken from here http://marijuanaoptics.fileave.com/0220decoy.pdf

I'm sure you could find a packet of cheap stones from a local nursery, they use them in garden beds alot

1) I thought that just meant it had good drainage, I don't think you have a problem there 2) https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/33444-tahoes-doing-stepping-up-plate-6.html#post356800 maybe that would help, just put a few stones on the top, or you could just pour slowly

Yes you are haha.... Well with only being a noob, when I started I went straight for the HPS due to the fact that it gives more lumens per watt. But after reading and investigating it's becoming clearer that I will need some other form of lighting along the way. Like you say HPS will give you...
