  1. Hey this is my first cfl grow starting my journal a bit late, im currently using 2 130 watt cfls 6400k and i have just ordered another 130 watt cfl just to amp it up a bit, i have 2 fans currently there 6 inch one for intake and one exhaust, my strains are 3 big big bud auto feminized and i have 1 white widow feminized just regular i plan to lst the autos until theyve flowered and i have topped the white widow and also plan to lst that aswell once the big bud has finished i will change the light cycle to flower the white widow. its all set up im a grow tent its 800 cm in length 450 cm in width and 800 cm in height the temperature is getting up to 34 degrees Celsius and the humidity is 44% im thinking about getting another fan and maybe some sort of cooling system but its coming into winter and im hoping that cools the room down a bit, im using growlush nutes growth formula i started with half dose and have just gone up to full strenght they seem to be taking it quite well, they were planted on the 7th of april they are about 17 days old. let me no what you think! any advice or suggestions are welcome.

  2. Love to see more of that White Widow, keeping a eye on this good luck.
     
  3. hey yea the white widow is a bit sluggish compared to the big bud i think its because the big bud is auto and the white widow isn't, ill be getting my new light in the next couple days heaps excited to see how much of a difference it makes ill have heaps more coverage and be able to spread them out a bit more. its only been 24 hours since i bumped the nutes up to full strength and they seem to be taking of i think its making a fair bit of difference i have just layed down the white widow for lst they look healthy so im pretty happy! the temps have been sitting around 28-30 degrees Celsius now when i get the new light i might order a new fan as well depending on what the temperature goes up to.  :metal:

  4. hey people just updating my journal my girls have exploded with growth im expecting my new light either tomorrow or the next day also have a question if any one can help with the autoflower strains is it better to have them under 2700k lights rather than 6500k when they start to flower?

  7. Nope its "your" journal public for peeps to read or ignore. I think they look great.
     
  8. cheers man, so I think my autos are starting to flower I would have thought they would have started sooner but I spose the later they start the more time they have to veg only problem is im running out of room I put the smallest auto outside because its getting to crowded and ill need to repot the white widow soon because roots are coming out the bottom, they are lookin really healthy so im hoping for decent yields!

    hey people so everything came today I got my new lights which include two 2700K lights plus two led lights I got for free so I figure I might as well use them as extra wattage. Got my new tent it is a lot bigger than expected but no complaints. I Will post more pictures tomorrow, I haven't had time to put all of the lights up yet due to work and other commitments. :bongin:

    Cheers man yea they're looking and smelling beautiful! ;) I don't know much about the LED lights apparently they're 225 watts each but I find it hard to believe, I got them for free and they cost like nothing to run so I figure why not give it at try see if it makes a difference but they don't give off any heat so you can have them as close as you want. They are stretching a fair bit haven't been able to look after them heaps well lately due to working long horrible hours and having a two month old she's obviously my first priority but they are still looking good considering. I have also set up two more 130 watt lights, 2700k CFL'S and one 130 watt 6400k CFL I also have two LED panels so that brings it up to 390 watts not including the LED'S, I still feel the need For more wattage. I will continue to keep you updated.
     
  19. There is a picture of the one I put outside ages ago due to the lack of room. I think I might just leave it there because it seems to be doing quite well, Except the one outside has just started flowering, I find it weird because I planted all of the auto flower strains at the same time, But I was under the impression that they would all start flowering around the same time regardless of the light cycle. Other than that everything is going well.
    Any advice is appreciated. :smoke:
