Humboldt's Growing Adventures! Up & Away!

Humboldt · Nov 17, 2007

Thanks for visiting chazz, I'm admiring your grow as well, also thanks for the comments.

Quick update before I head for bed, I found my only y and added another 23w bulb, I now have an additional 69w 433w total, hopefully this will at least help the colas, I'm thinking it will help fatten the lower branches as well, it should work out being I rotate bushy and small every watering.

Good night, or morning ya'll!!!

hey humb what about putting that light a litlle closer to the dome, i thinks its better that way, good luck with the clones, those buds look tasty, are those jiffy plugs u'r using for cloning?

DOT5262 · Nov 17, 2007

damn that cfl setup is sick, it hurts my eyes just looking at the picture .

Humboldt · Nov 18, 2007

I don't no majim, I was told to keep the light far away as possible and to use a low watt, I'm using a 20w the lowest I have, should the light be on 24/7 or is it better to give them some darkness?

Hey DOT thanks for visiting, I added more light and thinking about adding even more, wait until I do then let me know how your eyes are feeling..lol....

Bushy day 29,

Man bushy and small are getting fatter and filling out more and more everyday, also their color is changing daily, tomorrow will be one month and I can't imagine what they are going to look like in another.

More wattage,

I'm thinking about adding some more lights to the left and right sides of the girls, probably 6 more 23w - 4 on left side of mediocre/small and 2 on right side of bushy, ghetto diagram above.. this will total 571w of cfl light, I'm thinking that will do it, what do you think?

Just some more pics of me cat and her fascination with the veg room,

Who do you think will go blind first, me or her?

jomal206 · Nov 18, 2007

LMAO I know the feeling Humboldt since I added my other 4 lights my grow area is like a blinding white light!

DOT5262 · Nov 18, 2007

i think it might be alittle overkill but cant hurt i would get some 40+ watts and stick em in that way you need less but its all good. im thinking ima get a cooltube for my space im just collecting opinions if it would be smart/possible

[B571w is a lot of flouresents for 3 plants, too late to get a HPS, but maybe for next time...
Lovely looking ladies!

Maybe, just maybe Humbolt actually wanted to do a gro under CFL not HID. And they look to be doing really well. Its also a fairly small growing area ... taylor made for a fluro grow.

Stick with the CFLs Humb ... your an inspiration to us all

you will not see the stems when itll be done fattening or almost. i just love to look at this stuff

WutangFinancial · Nov 18, 2007

That's a diesel cfl setup. Looking very nice, right now I'm flowering with 250w of cfl.
Very interested in this end result.

LOL.. jomal, I'm not done yet, I'm still adding, I thought what the heck, let's go for the gusto with these cfls.

Over kill nah .. I don't think so, I thought about getting some of the 40watters, however I get 23w for 89cents a peice, I figure I get 46 watts for a buck 78 apposed to 10 bucks for less watts..

Slam thanks for stopping by, not done yet, stick around, also I definitely plan on getting an hps, however I am going to see what these cfl's are going to do for me, I have plans for an hps flowering room.

Thanks ozone, I will be finishing these three girls with as many cfl's that I can fit in there, again I'm not done adding.

I hope so Dr High but from my view doesn't look like they will be filling out, looks to me like I will end up with patches .. a lot of popcorn buds, witch is perfectly fine with me...

Thanks Wutang for dropping in and commenting, do you have a grow journal going, if so please post your link, I'm always interested in other cfl grows...

HOOAH! some updates,

Small budshots, day 30,

Decided to trim small,

Her trimmings,

Minus four that I decided to try and clone.

The clones seem to be doing ok however some are leaning, this scares me but we will see, I placed arrows in the second image to show the four new clones..

I added some temporary side lighting until I can get the right fixtures, my goal now is to get as much light as in as many anlge as I can,

It's getting brighter in there eh?

Good news, I now have a new grow room,

That should be a decent grow room, you think i'd be able to grow three big topped girls in there? has everything, it's own elecrical, heater with thermostat, vent etc. all I have to do now is strip it out and ad an hps that I should be getting soon! I'm thinking starting out with a 400w then maybe upgrade in near future.

I will be taking measurements of the closet as soon as I clean it out, make room, also I will probably start a new jornal for this one as it's going to be an hps grow...

I just got the timer , all I need now is the hps.lol..

I priced hps systems at a hydro shop near me and they are way too expensive, everything seems to be double the prices than anywhere else online or otherwise, also I saw the exact timmer I got for only 18 buck there for 40 bucks, that's crazy!

For you majim,

They were about as good as the males, tasted a bit better but obviously harsh, the high was nice but didn't last long, this kind of scares me as how the buds are going to turn out, are they going to be stony, are they going to be stony but the high won't last long or it won't be all that stony and the high won't last long, this is all going through my brain.

We will just have to wait and see, thanks everybody for the support!

PS .. lol chazz you posted as I was working on mine, thanks for visiting and the comments are always appreciated!

tahoe58 · Nov 19, 2007

jomal206 · Nov 19, 2007

Yeah I'd say you dont' have much to worry about Humboldt...from I've read the big difference comes in the last few weeks....keep it up man you're doing awesome

Where'd you find CFLs for 89 cents!?

DOT5262 · Nov 19, 2007

soon your cfl fixture will have more power then a 1000 watt HPS :roll:

'

EDit and how did you set that cfl fixture up ? i either am gonna get a cooltube hps or some more cfls. if i get more cfls i need to make a new fixture. mine is a ghetto thing and only has 3 spots for vertical bulbs which will kill me when i need that vertical space

HotNSexyMILF · Nov 19, 2007

Look amazing, keep up the awesome work..=)

Gyp · Nov 19, 2007

Did you try any rooting hormone this time round, or just stuck em in? Lil bit twisted and I can't see left, so I'm not sure if you mentioned that.
