I use it in my flower room, just to cut time, saves electricity.

I've only delt with tank and regulator.

You don't need to worry about CO2 till you get the basics down, just have good ventilation, its free and works great.
CO2 only helps the plants grow faster when all the other parameters are at or near optimum levels.
thanks for the info. i guess i'm just too anxious on joining the green thumb club. i have to remember to take it one step at a time.

do you have those lights shining underneath the foliage??? does that help? cause I have a similar setup going right now in soil with some cflage getting pretty good results.

I'm starting some mazar and ppp in a home made stealth cab, and i'd love to steal your setup if possible how many lights are you using? I also copped a couple of those 65 watt cfls they are 6500 k, have you ever used them and what are your thoughts on them. I figured side lighting and top lighting would be the only beneficial light, but you're kicking ass with them cfl's man, doing twice as well as I am, with half the wattage it looks like. let me know man, sorry if you did the whole setup breakdown in the beginning, I'm gonna check now to see.

good grow tetra...

Peace

I've always used MH and HPS, I had to try this for myself, this is my first go with CFLs, been growing over 10 years though, old dog learning a new trick.
I have 12, 42 watters, 100 wat equiv., I've seen those big ones your talking about they look good. you have a grow journal ??

been mia from riu for a while, keep a private picture journal just to make it easy to keep track of growth... I've been experimenting with some bagseed in little pots (1 liter water ice cups.) and trimming the foliage the one I have that I think will finish first is really beefy, I've been removing the leaves around the bud and keeping her pretty close to the light, I have two 65 watt cfl floods that are 6500 k and 2 70 watt I think equiv cfl's that are 2700 k they are under two feet tall, the tallest being about 22 inches and the smallest being about 14 inches. the beefy one is second tallest with massive cola about 2 3/4 inches wide and a little less than a foot long, very dense and super sticky and stinky, smells like berries and something toxic... the tallest has a much smaller cola, but she's full of crystals, and getting bigger everyday, the shorter ones I think are a completely different strain, because they have no red hairs, the node spacing is short, and look to be about half as mature as the other two. the two big ones I have been gradually removing the foliage to direct all the light towards the buds, they have been alive for only 55 days and forced into flower at 9 days old.
heres a couple pics the plant by itself is the big one... sorry for the shitty quality but it's a picture from my phone

the ones with all the plants are from 2 weeks ago, before I added the second warm cfl

but you never answered my question, are those lights under the foliage or are they side lighting do you think a plant could utilize light shone on the bottom of the leaf, because In my stealth box I was thinking of just saturating the interior with light... I'm also going to do lst, one of my mazar fems I don't think is gonna make it because I think i damaged it removing the seed casing a little too early. so, I'm thinking of germing either one of my ppp's or one of my widows. I have ice and white rhino and crystal as well but unfortunately they arent fem, so I'm gonnna wait on that for my next grow.

sorry for hijacking there, and awesome fucking plants man, I'm gonna use this shit in the next couple months!!!


peace

by the way I'm a total liar and those are pictures I stole off the internet. I know it's childish, but I wanna be cool too.

I wanted the bottom lights higher but there's no room, they seem to help for sure, I knew 6 lights would never cut it, I'd like to make them air cooled so they won't burn the leaves.

I found some CDs with all these pics on it:twisted:

I like your plants, nice light set-up, post-up I don't mind.:peace:

How are those floods, I saw them after I had already bought two sets(24) of bulbs.:roll:

pretty good man, I've definitely seen a difference from my last couple grows... they put out quite a bit of light but they do get pretty hot. more so at the base though, so I can keep the light at about an inch away. I also got these organic nutes from the dollar store, they seem to be doing fine, very difficult to over feed, I've been using about 4 tablespoons of it every week. feeding twice per week... in the small cups they are very thirsty. I water every day, when the lights come on at around 8 and by morning the top 1 inch of soil is dry. i've also been using molasses but i'm not sure if it's necessary because the organic dollar store nutes are derived from molasses. well, so far so good, I'm probably gonna chop the biggun in a week in a half or so... just wanted to see what I could get from something short... go figure a little over two months I imagine that little plant will yeild around a quarter to a half ounce from the looks of it so far. and the little ones I think still have quite a while to go, I have semi high hopes for them.

I use auto, and press the 'flower' button for close-ups.
Just keep messing with it, you'll get it down.

F@ck, forced harvest, mold on a couple of buds, going to have to chop them early, at least there's a sh!t load of trics on them. No sulfur burner in there.
