Re: Jay233 Grow Jack Herer - NL x Skunk - THC Bomb - White Rhino - Critical - 600W HP

I know you said don't say spend more money but a 125 w will be money well spent and last a long time...just a suggestion...otherwise sounds great to me

a 125w cfl tube light? I'll try to figure it out but it's real tight as it is. What does it give to the grow exactly? Just more overall ambient light?

Hi Fish. I've just strung up 750w of CFLs with a 2700k rating. This is the ideal spectrum for flowering (6500k for veg) The other BIG advantage is they run cool so you can get em in REAL close. Take a peep a my journal mate and you might get an idea what I mean :)

I see what you did there but my space is micro compared to yours. I'd like to say I have room for a ton of lights but I don't. I have a rack that is about chest high so 4-4 1/2ft tall to hang the power strip from

then to the lights like this but mine will be hung on some chain or something so I can raise and lower it

I'm only using the space on the left under the wire shelf so I figure if I wrap it all in an emergency blanket it should shine like the sun.

Hey Fish I see what you mean mate. What are you planning to do regards airflow, intake and extraction? Heat and humidity could be issues my friend :)
 
Re: Jay233 Grow Jack Herer - NL x Skunk - THC Bomb - White Rhino - Critical - 600W HP

I have a few computer fans and desk fans I can play with, for humidity I'll probably just hang a rag down into a bucket lol
 
Re: Jay233 Grow Jack Herer - NL x Skunk - THC Bomb - White Rhino - Critical - 600W HP

I have discovered that if you place a heated seedling mat in your grow area with a glass or bowl of water on it, it creates decent humidity. Just a thought. It really doesn't throw off much heat.

Hmmmm, I'm not preaching here buddy but the one thing I've learnt above ALL else is that you've GOT to get the environment right. You do that and you're 90% there to growing GOOD green. Regular air change, temps, humidity, light.....ALL these factors are so important. Fans are good for moving air but what about CHANGING it? Fresh in/stale out? Odour control too is important unless you don't mind awkward questions......these little weeds aren't called "skunk" for the hell of it lol :)

You got that right! I got lucky when a house guest questioned the slight skunk smell coming into the house.....I had taken care of a family of real skunks in my barn just weeks before that and still had a pic on my phone of one of them....I showed him the pic saying they must be hanging out in the garage somehow now, and that took care of any more questions. LOL

LMAO.......That's awesome. We get stray cats and dogs...you get SKUNKS :) I can just picture the scene if it was ME and MY KIDS...."Daddy look what we've found in the barn"....."Can we keep one?".....lol :)
 
Re: Jay233 Grow Jack Herer - NL x Skunk - THC Bomb - White Rhino - Critical - 600W HP

HEY Fish4fun...Nice space...Yes the 125 watt will make a big difference for very low cost...I agree with OZ and Canna...an extraction fan and carbon filter are very important (necessary)...you can wait a bit on the filter 8 weeks or so...you will need something exchanging the air though

Good luck my friend...I'm excited for you :thumb:

The ONLY thing that works on it is tomato juice...the hair was the worst. It's long. And the cat wouldn't come within two rooms of me. LOL

Jay, I sent spimp a PM and Alex too. With Rico being moderator now, someone else will have to handle the swear-in I'm thinking. :-)

Well as for recirculating fresh air I keep a window cracked all year round in my room I can't stand still air. I put a fan in the bottom left corner and placed a 12inch fan on the top right so it'll force the air to flow across the grow space and out the top. Luckily everyone I live with is chill so I don't have to worry about people smelling it in this house. I'll probably look into filters as time goes on but my shopping list is already at 100$ and that's all I'm willing to spend right now to get this going. I was looking at this one space and then thought "well shit I can't keep plants in rotation with out a separate space for budding. I think what's going to happen is with time I till turn the top of that shelf to the ceiling into the veg space and then the bottom as the flowering space as it is taller. Ugh so many decisions :lot-o-toke:
