First CFL grow, 368 actual watts.

sorry for the lack of pics, but i broke my camera on my phone saturday. and i just bought a new digital camera so pics will be up at 9:00 or so when lights come on.

as promised, here is an update on the pics.

here is plant 1


here is plant 2, the sick one.

yeah i'm bored so if you stop by and wanna throw up some pics lets see some of your collections of smoking gear, here are a couple of my pieces.

this is my 30" double perk roor

then i got some of my misc hand pipes, 1 double bubble, 1 regular bubbler, 2 spoons, a chillum, and a chillum with a genie cap/all glass.

i have countless others, but these are the ones i predominatley use. the double bubble and the spoon with the honey comb are blown by a local chicago guy.

Love this thread. I'm trying a low wattage route on some high dollar automatics I shipped to myself from Amsterdam. Its just starting so nothing to take pic of yet, but i'm running 2x 6400 30 watt and 1 x 3000 30 watt and 2 blue 13 watt LED panels and 2 red 13 watt Led panels. I plan on switching to 2x 3000 and 1x 6400 when these little autos start flowering, supposed to be completely done in under 8 weeks. I'm hoping running a small variety of cfl's along with the LEDS will grow these autos since they're not supposed to need a ton of light. The whole system is 142 watts but if the plants don't get huge oh well, I like small for my situation(own place but lots of uncool inlaws.)

Just curious on how you think this will end up, I know the LEDS are a bit of a wild card as everyone flips when the bulb is under 1 watt but I know they grow tomatoes with these commercially. Additionally they are planted in 50/50 foxfarm and MG perlite. MG perlite is lightly nuted but down in the range like .06 n-p-k. I also mirrored(just bought a few cheap tall mirrors) the floor and painted the closet walls gloss white. Quite interested in opinion on it as there doesn't seem to be alot of information on autos around here.

MY logic is since I'm giving them 24hrs non stop for 2 months I wanted a lower power system that covered all my bases. So I went 660 and 450 leds and 3000/6400 cfls. i don't intend on growing giants, just getting an ounce per plant would make me happy(5 going.)

Thoughts?

Not gunna be a dick here but seems to me you need to start a thread of your own to get all the info you need, this thread is kind of dead. As for my thoughts, I know nothing about led growing, soil mix seems good, I know very little on autoflowers. And I'm still not done to guage the outcome of the cfl's. If I were you I would try to start a thread when you get it set up there are alor of people here who will help.

So final cut today. 450 gs wett. So ill probably get about 4 oz dry.
