Hi guys...it's been a while since I started a grow thread. I've previously been growing outdoors, where pests and security are major problems, as well as indoors on window sills, which produced plants that grew very well but developed no trichomes (a 1.5 metre Northern Lights with mossy buds and zero effect, gah!).
Anyway, despite living in what is now a police state, I managed to buy a Maxlight Digilight Pro digital ballast with a 400W dual-spectrum HPS and a coolshade. The setup is rudimentary, but effective. The room has an a ceiling extractor, and a table fan blows through the coolshade, keeping the temps low (the coolshade glass is just warm to the touch). Temp is a constant 32C with RH ~60%.
All plants are in soil - potting compost mixed with coco coir and worm casings. Nutrients are limited to fish fertilizer (vegging and flowering), molasses and Epsom salts. Can't get hold of anything fancier. :no:
The plant in the middle is a Green Poison auto from Sweet Seeds. It was under 80W of CFLs for six weeks of vegging and has been under the HPS for the past two weeks. Next largest is a Northern Lights (breeder unknown) at day 12 and the smallest is a 7-day old Think Different.
