Thanks bro and I will soon this is just my apprenticeship class room week sucks but I gotta learn how to build houses so I can build my own!

What you got going this week Bro?

Hey so last night I bent the ghost train down last night shes was like about 8 inches tall . Hope thats ok

 

[NewBoy420]

Today after school I will finish up my room and start setting all the titan stuff

 

[PeytonManning]

Yeah, you can bend plants when you want to. As long as nothing snaps off you're golden. I ain't got much going on, just watching plants grow and spending time with my son. Gonna be cool to see you get that stuff set up, and some really good advice from medimike will make it easier

Ok yeah bro nothing snapped she had a angle already so it was ment to be lol

Oh good times I got a baby girl so I know the feelings that comes with doing both things.

Yes he did I have put the pen and paper to work

I've been a stay at home dad for 2 years now, and it's the best job I've ever had. Plus, it gives me lots of time with the plants. That's cool that you'll build your own house, i wish i had skills like that.

Thats sweet bro I will be there after my old lady completes her degree and maked 100k a year lol then ill do some major grows then. One day. its sweet I work mostly with concrete but I am a apprentice so they send me to school so I can build almost anything.

 

[PeytonManning]

Hell, if the schooling is free, i don't blame you for jumping on it. That's cool that your old lady can make that kinda money with a degree. My ol lady don't make much at all, but she loves her job a lot, so we just live a more minimalist lifestyle for the time being.

Gonna be cool to see your plant when the branches all turn up and she becomes a beastly bush. I'm sure you'll be getting in some epic grows sooner than you think, especially when you get the environment and co2 dialed in

Well the power went out in school so im laying down on a couch lol. They do pay for it is so you are right be dumb not to take the skills. I hear you we say we want to live like that too but my girls are to spoiled lol.

Bro I was just thinking that they are going to get bushy im going to use some laundy baskets for LST I picked up the idea from another member. Its acuactually genius keeps them nice and short and contained.

Gotta love this site so much useful information.

 

[PeytonManning]

I've never heard of using a laundry basket, I'll have to look it up later cause it sounds cool.

i know its very unconventional but it works, he used them short round baskets!

 

[PeytonManning]

Alrighty, i found it. That's not a bad idea. Luckily i went and drilled holes on my buckets around the rim, one every half inch or so. But it would be nice to tie them to lower points, makes adjusting them easier i imagine

aww ok I get it now had to re read it .

 

[NewBoy420]

Has any one had any ideas on how i can set up my new room?

would the fluorescent be enough power to veg with?

Most people out there veg under fluorescent. People with deep pockets for big bills veg under hid lighting.

I have veg 4 seedling and clones on a single 30w fluorescent untill 1st set of true leaves and then switched to a 100 watt fluorescent. So yes hungaluz is right.

 

[Meta tron]

You can easily veg under CFL's just get the right Kelvin or colour temp. 4100k, I used to veg with all cfl's now I use a 400 watt eye hortilux blue, but if I start seeds I will sometimes use a cfl or two if I think they are stretchers.

Good on the trades school, I got a trade as well and I have been making over 6 figures all my life. It is very expensive where I am and I am the bread winner so it all actually turns out to be not a lot to live on. But Peyton is right we are minimalists as well, we really don't need much for true happiness.

What is the ideal cfl lighting Kelvin temp for veg? Im planing on using it on a 4x4 area how many fixtures or bulbs would I need to veg that area?

Thanks man gotta have skills to get ahead in life and I feel u on the bread winner, my girl goes to school but it will all pay off.

Ya MON! 6500k for Vegging, try not to go lower than 4000k, you can use those light socket one into two splitters on a few of those cheap clamp lights from your local home renovation store. I used to take the clamps off and hang them by the power cord.
