Boss's Poor Mans Grow

Very pretty, my friend. Great, healthy growth. +rep

And also, I believe someone earlier brought up the idea of reflectors and you had seen ones that dont fit.
Consider procuring some thin sheet metal, cutting with tin snips, and designing your own. You will get alot more of the CFL light directed downwards which will only benefit the plants. You seem like an intelligent guy so im sure you dont need instructions. The lumens rated on the package are given off in every direction. You'll increase the amount of lumens reaching your plants. Those CFLs stay somewhat cool. No venting will be nessescary.
 
From my limited experience, I would say it has a bit of sativa in its breeding, however, the width of the ends of the pan leaves lead me to believe that it is indica dominant.

Also, consider the hoods. Not that expensive.

Ya, I think you are right, they are wide at the ends.

As for hoods, I am trying to figure out a way to do it where I can keep 2 bulbs in each socket. I am gonna have to fabricate something, but I have not found anything around the house yet that will fit the bill.

Thank you!:smokin:
 
Even a flat, and not angeled, top would reflect much light downward.Youre getting roughly 100degrees of the 360 available from the light so any little bit helps. Even 180 degrees is better
 
Yes, I know you are right, I am churning over it :-) I am thinking a drop hood from the ceiling that can be raised and lowered, but I have to move the lights around, so I will have to make 3 or 4. Of course I could go buy some sheet metal, cut them into round hoods and just tape them to each wire...
I will prob have to do that. I just can't find anything around the house :-)
 
My babies are in the dark for the first time ever. I hope they are not scared! LOL

I sure am!

Started 12/12 today, as my seedlings are going 12/12 from the start, and my first 4 plants are done with the veg.

Baby is up (the real baby girl) so i will talk at ya'll later!

Piece!
