Ok,so my cousin had to leave town for work and will be gone 8 months. He left me his plant he has been growing, told me to do,whatever. So the plant is now in flower. Week 4. I don't know the strain. I'm using what I could get my hands on for lights. Cfl's and a purple plant light. The top looks great. Any lil help will be so awesome of you guys.. I'm gonna do another grow of my own after this one..
Looks good man. Are the browning leaf tips new? If so, ease back on the nutrient concentration, but if they're old then maybe you've sorted it already Adding more light is often an easy way to improve things, what brand /model is your light?
The purple light is a ge. And the cfl are all just reg 13watt, with bout 1100 lumens each. I have 4 plus the purple plant light. The leaves where that color, it seems to have stopped or gotten better tho. The only thing I am,putting in the plant is water from huge fish tank. Sent from my VS501 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
What I will do is when the lights come back on I will get a pic of light set up. Now when I do just remember I have never even looked at doing this till the other day. My next one will be so much better. I ordered a grow tent. But I will take a pic of the light set up in few hours.. Sent from my VS501 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I've never heard of that light, do you know how many watts it uses? I was just trying to get an idea of whether it would be worth you getting more light or if it's not worth it
Does that say 8 watts? It would definitely be worth buying a proper grow light, it will make a world of difference
Ok, it says 65 watt equivalent 8 watt used. So I need to get another one Sent from my VS501 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Ok, so I just read that I would need around 10,000 lum during flower. So yes I need to get more .. Sent from my VS501 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Not more of those same purple light bulbs if you can afford to buy something else. I understand this fell in your lap but you also said you’re buying a tent... do you money for lights? About how much? There’s a lot of options out there but without knowing your budget no one can really help you.
I,was thinking of,driving up,to my home depot and purchase this. I read these cfl will work pretty good. Sent from my VS501 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Ok I see where you’re going, but remember this please. COMPLETELY IGNORE any part about a light be EQUIVALENT. Only focus on actual watts because actual watts are what we’re trying to convert into usable energy for our plant. EQUIVALENT means it SEEMS that bright/effective but it’s not ok. With what I believe your trying to afford for this venture, at the very least get some T5’s.
Ok. I will check,on that tomorrow. Thank you for helping and being patient with me lol Sent from my VS501 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
All I use is water from a fish tank..,lol. But I'm researching everything for,my next grow. But I water it every two days between 7-7:30 pm Sent from my VS501 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I was gonna say I think it looks over watered. What size pot. Every two days should be a 1 gal. If u got something bigger ur watering b4 it dries out enough
What type of light is it equivalent to exactly? For an 8w LED to be equivalent to 65w it would have to be something like an incandescent light, which is extremely inefficient and not suitable for growing plants, so comparing it to that would be a bit odd Not really How much are you willing to spend on your light? There are a lot better options than a few small CFLs, they waste a ton of electricity and produce a lot of heat
