Jock Horror Auto - Deformed leaves.

Well live and learn. Who do you like in the NHL? I am, of course, a Montreal fan.. the Heels are my favorite college team and I follow the Jets religously so I know how to lose.

I'm an Atlanta native so I went to a lot of Flames games when I was a kid. Now that they've lost their second NHL team, I think that city is done with hockey for good. I've been a Hurricanes fan since they moved down from Hartford and have had the pleasure of attending many games over the years, including the 5-0 blowout in game two of the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals. :booya:
 
Thought I'd throw a quick update on the plant, just in case anyone wanted to see in the future that her new leaves are fine. :D

Day 14:

Day 25, still grows some deformed leaves in places, but doing alright still, and still only under 2 26w CFL bulbs.

In Canada Walmart sells 45 watt CFL for about $16 (their equivilant to incadecesent 200 waters). I have convderted all of my bulbs to these. I use old tin pie plates for reflectors and I am very happy with the results. I have tetired all my old 26 watters to the scrap box for bright household use.

I'll have to pick up the 45w ones sometime, just thought I was going to start the plant indoors then move it outdoors which is why it was only two 26w, but ended up keeping it in because it didn't auto, I have it under two 42w 2700k cfl bulbs right now, nine days of 12/12 so far, and lst'd. :D
 
I bet those are way br4ighter than the 26 watters you had. I like the colour temperature of the Walmart ones they are called bright white and have their peak at 4100 degrees calvin. They are also gaurantedd for 7 years. Just cut the little computer scanner patch and keep your bill of sale and mail it in to the company sans bulb and voila a new bulb comes prepaid. They got their shit together. I love business when they do it right.

A lot brighter :D how well does the 4100k do during veg for you, think there is much stretching compared to 6500k?
 
I don't get much stretching on my plants. i USED TO GET A LOT OF STRETCHING WHEN i USED THE 26 watt jobs. I think the stretching is more of a problem with not enough light rather than the color temperature. But what the hell I never did any experiments to compare color temperatures in the groth cycle.

Sounds good to me, I may grab a few if I have some money left when I get into the city, might be picking up an Aerogarden veggiepro from Canadian Tire, I had the space saver 6 model and it grew my first plant, it was very healthy, tight nodes and grew very fast, was pleased with it, just to small
 
Stretching is from light intensity, if the lights are too far away or not powerful enough the plants will get leggy and stretch.
Color temp has nothing really to do with this as I start under hps sometimes and get no stretch. I also use MH for veg and no stretch there either. Its all about proximity and intensity
