Good bye cfls hello hps

b-rad · Oct 18, 2011

Hey guys it's been awhile since I've posted anything but I'm back now! I've upgraded the size of my grow area form my start in the rubber maid tubs with cfls to a cabinet that was 40in x20in x7ft with more cfls haha. Now I've started building my new baby she's 4x4x6 constructed from 2x2.
I'm going to be running with..
600watt hps with a C.A.P digital ballast
8in 747CFM C.A.P fan
Fan controller
I'll be building a scrubber and a housing for the fan to dampin the sound and vibration. This go around I'll run soil but the next will prob be ebb set up! I'll post pics soon

i wouldnt say goodbye to the cfls completely. They are quite good for vegging. Then switch to hps for flowering

Nice setup......

I recently said good bye to CFLs too, got a 5x5x6 setup with a 1000 watter . Plants seem to be growing real fast although they're only like a week old. Good luck with your grow! Like said above it might be worth it to keep your CFL enclosure for clones/seedlings for a lill bit to save electricity

I'm not going to veg ill be taking clones from my brother and he'll have already veg them for a week then I'll take them and flip stright to flower. Once up and going I'm aiming for a harvest every 2 weeks is my goal lol so well see

I would never toss out the cfl's haha i have some ides already in the works for the next project

ÒÒlegilizeitÒÒ · Oct 18, 2011

every 2 weeks?

b-rad · Oct 18, 2011

Ya have to build up to it but put a new set of clones in every two weeks and once the first set finsh up the next will follow two weeks later

well see how it works

ÒÒlegilizeitÒÒ · Oct 19, 2011

oh gotcha, well every plant takes diffrent times to finish up

b-rad · Oct 19, 2011

That's if there all from diff plants but mine will be from the same plant so in theory it'll be idinacal as the last. It my own hybrid Ive made so the first run will determan how long they'll need and I'll adjust from there to make it work. Once I fig out how to upload pics from an I touch I'll post pics.

ÒÒlegilizeitÒÒ · Oct 19, 2011

well if the clones where from the same plant wouldnt that meen all the clones would be the same age meening that once a clone was put into flowering it would be the same age as the clone put into flowering two weeks later making that clone older when its put into flowering then the previous one changing the time it takes to finish and its size because it will be more mature and bigger when its put into flowering than the one before it. this is confusing lol

b-rad · Oct 19, 2011

I see what your saying. My brother will have the mothers under 24hr light then I'll pull my clones veg till rooted well then I'll drop them in my cabinet to flower. You follow?

Is there a way to upload straight from an itouch?

b-rad · Oct 25, 2011

got some pics dont know how theyll look since its from an itouch. i still need to get the panda paper on this fri. i germanated my seeds and got 19 or so all poped up and ready to go. the strain is a costom hybrid that i made up :lol:

hey guys been a bit again. i ended up with 4 strong females a few others were male and the others i gave to a friend who is growing them outdoor

i took and built a mother/ cloning box that's 4ft tall 4ft wide and 18in deep. Im using my old cfls to grow them and clone. im running dwc on the flowering 3 and on the mom, im running the full dutch master nutrient line for veg and flower for clones im using nutri-plus i get roots out the bottom of the rockwool in 7day. i try and keep my temps around 76-80' and my rh to 39% light on 65% night. im on day 41 of flower, ive been following the dutch master guide line +/-100ppm and keep my ph at 5.6 if you have questions ask and ill see what i can do. I need to take some new pics again cuz theses dont do them justice.
PS i also crossed it with snow cap pollen i had and back crossed it with the la conf again and on a branch i made it self pollinate to see if ill get fem seeds so well seed haha

Good bye cfls hello hps
