MchigannJrs CFL Closet Grow | Crippler

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by MichigannJr, Feb 4, 2015.

  1. Alright, so I figured this would actually be the best place to put my journal. I have 4 plants, all from Crippler seeds I received from a buddy that grows, in week 2 of veg. I'm using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, and I have nutes with an NPK ratio of 18-18-21 that I plan on using for veg. I also want to utilize LST to maximize my efficiency for lighting and space. I'll post the pictures now, and any input is appreciated.
     
  2. For some reason they didn't load lol

  3. Anyone wanna tell me if I should go ahead and LST yet ?
     
  4. yes start lst.
     
    what strain r you running?
     
    How many watts total?
     
  5. On them now is 283 watts total. 6 Daylight CFLs 26 watts a piece 6500k, and 2 Soft white 26 watts 2700k, and a 75 watt T8. I plan on using predominately the softwhite CFLs during flower. And as for the stain, it's Crippler, or The Crippler.
     
  6. Opinions on 24/0 vs 18/6? I've done reading on the two, just wondered if maybe 24/0 is more useful when using CFLs for lighting instead of MH or HPS set ups. Thanks ahead.
     
  7. Shameless self bump? Lol
     
  8. I gotta few of these 55w daylight CFLs , just look at the difference in size, and each bulb has 3800 lumens. Plan on adding them today.

  11. No one seems to be interested in my little ladies lol.
     
  12. appreciate it man, lol, I'll definitely continue with updates then haha!
     
  13. Good choice getting some bigger bulbs, Ill tell you like I do every CFL guy out there. Consider the 105 watt standard base bulbs. The output is will worth it. At least in my opinion.
     
  14. yeah, the girls seem to appreciate it for sure
     
  15. figured I'd post a few more pics, a few leaves are curling and are a little yellow but I'm not too worried about them. Should I be? Well anyways, this week I had fed them about 25% strength of my 18-18-21 nutes, next week I'll feed them at 50%
    Pics are just after watering btw

  16. Looks sick so far is there any ammount of light from cfls that is too much (can you overdo it with lumens and watts and such) also is your grow area capable of 12 hour total darkness periods during flowering? i was afraid that if i did a homemade box i might get light leakage and revert my plants back to veg
     
  17. as far as your question about the lights, I'm no expert but I think the more light the better, I'd just say to make sure you use your bulbs the most efficient way you can. And yeah when I'm in flower my room is light proof..And I'd say go for making the box, and just try to make it as light proof as you can. If you end up doing it be sure to show me a couple pictures and I'll try to make suggestions. Smoke good my dude
