Perfect. I just finished my last grow with the White Russian as one of the strains. I had 2 myself. I also have an Assassin outside in flowing now to. You'll like the Assassin for it's Christmas Tree look. And the White Russians, there stems grow right up beside the plant. They stay close the main cola. I loved their structure to.
 
Just goes to show what I know just because I grow 60 of them every 70 days doesn't mean that I think they are short. They must grow way taller for you.


Nelson, I do believe those 2 strains you recommended will get way to tall for his grow space. Nice you chimmed in but chime in with the whole thread...

Sorry New Hope, I don't want to get off topic here...
 
I so wish I owned a par light meter. I think it would read the light better than my old camera light meter. but ountil Santa brings me one for Christmas it is what I have to use. I once did an experiment by painting the inside of a cardboard box white and ligning another one with silvery myler. I lit the inside with a 400 HPS and measured the difference on the light meter. Guess what they were both the same. Since then I have always gone with the just paint it white path right or wrong. Some people say the myler causes hot spots in the growing surface just like tin foil does. I don't know if that is true or not. It makes sence that the reflected light off of a white wass is much more difused. I also use a painted white relfector on my high intensity lights for the same reason in my canna grow room.

One thing I wanted to mention about the plants and getting in to service them. Ripster is right less is more. I buit a carosel out of wood and shopping cart wheels just so I could spin my grow around to better get to each plant and I have loved it. Best idea I have ever had. Ease of service for the plants is big in my books.


When you say foil I hope you are referring to mylar and not aluminum foil. Aluminum foil does not reflect light evenly and should not be used. You would be better off painting the inside white instead of using aluminum foil.
 
I think this topick will bee transformed to a blog :)
Today we continueing the box. We make the front of the box, and the door on the box. We were high enough, made some little sizeing, and cutting problem :P
but nothing serious just minimeters. We dont fix the joints, we will do it when the box is in the place where we will need to it. (the top of the box will be the real wall on the attic, need serious accurate insertion.)
It opened with formwork on the buttom and i planed a magnetic lock to the top.Just the 2 triangle form missing, but we are not lazy! (dont do because the same reason that i write).
The holes whitch made by the inaccurate cutting will filled with plastic. We blanket the box, from the inside with veneers. And in the corners will be 2-2 or 3-3 cm slat. Need , couse it close the light, and it make mutch more powerfull binding for the whole box. And we are here right now. Make some new pics:

I think we ordered the seeds next week! And the week after we go to buy the missing equipments!

Nice lookin grow box NH. If I were a plant, that's where I'd want to be :booya:.

Be careful climbing up to your attic :lol: with all your materials...

Are you painting the inside with flat white paint? It's the next best thing next to mylar and it's cheaper to...
 
Ty My Man!
I will be carefull i promise! Its my ass! :)
I think about white painting to. But I dont decide jet. I read a lot of forum, and not just one people told, they measure the light with mylar and withouth mylar. And the parameters are EQUAL!!!!!
It can be really happened? If its true (mylar not really better than white painting) i will use painted walls.
Anyway i think i need mylar, couse i want to make my own reflektors for the boulbs.
I think I will use 4 X 2 X 54W. The reflektor will be half-pipe covered by mylar. See mayn people use this. One reflektor for one bulb in the store 13-20 dollar. 1 M mylar is (100X125) 3 dollar!!!
