Lighting 2nd Grow: Rapid Afghan and Easy Ryder, Airpots, CFL

Calipso! Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the compliments! :smokebuds: What's up with your cab project? Them Betty's showing you some love?
 
actually i haven't got my bettys yet as i was trying to do things the cart was messed, however with the new shop up and running will be making my first purchase soon. the more i read on the site the more i found personally the dragon line up and bettys will be exactly what i want as an individual. i was holding off to see what would be available the end of this winter beginning of spring and i now see the dragon pack is available will be getting those most def! the cab is looking good, gets kinda hot, however the coleus and hydrangea test run shows to be very promising, coleus is booming absolutely huge getting too big and the hydrangea is a lil pain in my butt but the more attention i give her the better she gets ofcourse heh. when the project that all of you would be interestd in following i will be getting the pics up and all that. most likely bettys and dragons i would love to discover a black dragon if possible, that stuff is gorgeous. will try to stop by here more often, the real world has been keeping me busy nephews, nieces, work and the like trying to set aside more time for MY fun lol.
 
The girls are 10 Weeks old today!

The Rapid Afghan is coming down on Monday night- 3 days from these pics, on day 73. I would rather let her go for a bit longer, but my work schedule won't allow it. I want to do it right and not all hectic and stressed. So here's the plan:

I can't put her in the dark for the last 2 days because the ER needs light. So I'll just take her out of the cab tomorrow evening. I'll set her in the room in a place where she'll only have very limited light during the day and darkness at night with much cooler temps than in the cab. ~14°-16°C / ~57°-60°F at night. Then on the third evening when she's been in the dark a few hrs, I'll chop her down.

Any reason this would be a bad idea? Anybody got a suggestion or three?

She had her last drink today. Just pH'd molasses water.

The Easy Ryder is looking good. She's starting to yellow up a little around the edges. If you guys find no flaws in my plans for the RA, this girl will bask in all that cfl wattage by herself for her last bit of life. I'm really happy with her.

She had full strength BioBloom and half strength FishMix today. (Last feeding was three days ago with Tea a'la Noods for both girls.)

Duuude!!! Teach me :) Your CFL is waaaay better then my HPS buds!

I will do some harvest tonight.. Ill post some too.. You will see that yours are waay better.
 
:lol: Hey zaQ, I doubt that you could learn from me. I learned everything from all of you!

I guess the cfl's are good cuz I can get them right up close. The cramped cab caused the plants to grow in a certain way, sort of a form of Low Stress Training, that allows the lights to fit tight in and around the plants and buds. Pretty beneficial, I's say.

I'm looking forward to seeing your harvest pics my friend! :smokebuds:
 
HPS

Your CFL is waaaay better then my HPS buds!

Check your sources.
HPS beats CFL hands down
Ask anyone anywhere
I got hundreds of dead CFL bulbs to prove it
CFL is merely a poor substitute for intense brightness
Use your HPS right and youll see.
10 inches and moving not 'up close'
Ask anyone here.

CFL is a poor mans delusion
 
Welcome to the forum billgee! It's an honor for me that your first post is in my thread. Don't worry- I won't let the fact that you're calling me a delusional poor man get to me.

:peace:
 
Ba ha ha ha.


They look really great Noods especially being from useless, old CFLs. :D Keep up the good work!
 
Thank you flwr! :smoke:

No sweat texasboy. It's almost impossible to take personally- I'm only one of many growers using cfl's. :smokebuds:
