hey dfw guy...i found a clutter light socket at a local hardware store! it was only a dollar more, but you cant beat that for being immediately available. i also finished the new box... i'll get pics asap!.. the ladies are sumthing like 25 days old today

 

[dfw-guy]

Harleybo, I'll check it out man.

So I while sitting by my plants I was thinking why I didn't have a reflector. I didn't have any reasons not to have one, so I made this. I used the same emergency blanket material I've been using in this box. The hole in the center serves 2 purposes, 1 to let me take it in and out, 2 to help dissipate heat.

Better than nothing

Man how could that not grow bud Looks great and bet you notice big diffeance reflecting that light back to plants....where it is so close it will increase light to plant

 

[dfw-guy]

I'll tell you I notice a big difference of light reflecting at my face! Before I could stand to look at it w/o a problem once my eyes adjusted but now it sucks I have to keep my eyes away from the lights! Lol!

 

[GMT1975A]

DFW-Guy, excellant bro, plants will love that! Once again, your ingenuity overcomes! Won't be long and you'll have buds out yer wazoo!!..lol.

 

[dfw-guy]

Lol, I can only hope
I wish I could be paid to grow weed. I would go to work everyday loving my job. Stupid america Tell me though, do dispensary's get weed by buying it from growers?

 

[GMT1975A]

DFW-Guy, there are no dispesaries here. But one can be "compensated" for their time, expenses and effort! As far as I know, some dispensaries in CA purchase from outside growers.

 

[The Butcher]

looks good with the reflector and the increase in light should make a nice difference

 

[Steve McStoferson]

Man, i too wish i could get paid for growing. I could stay home all day and build hydro setups and I'm very convinced my ingenuity would come into play and I would build something sick.

If you grow right you can make a lot of money. I would love to take a career change and grow for a dispensary or something..

If med use ever passes in my state, that will be my first move.

 

[MDVL]

well i would hope CA gets their stuff from outside people cuz the govt cant groe chit!

 

[WeedyMcWeedWeed]

i want to start a dispensary in MI. it would be awesome.

Looks so much better nad the girls seem to be loving what your doing. Keep up the good work man in a short time all this hard work will pay off and you will have a nice harvest.

Just wondering..... have you thought about adding more light so that you will be able to get a better yeild? Then again may not be smart if your growing in a box.

Nice and shinny by the way!

Thanks man, I already did add more light lol & right now I'm about at my heat limits.

Well everyone, I believe that they're finally out of the growing stage and into the real budding stage. I gave them water yesterday and for the first time ever they did not grow a ton by the next day. But the buds are looking great, they slowly get bigger day by day. I'll have pics later.

Nice idea with the reflector Sir!
+reps

 

[BUD08]

Did you give them 24hrs of dark before flowering? I have noticed that with my plants if they don't have a chance to nap for 24 they start off flowering kinda slow.

 

[AmGrowR]

Man I can't wait to see some more of your bud pics! Also, can't wait to post some myself! +reps for all the help you've given me on my grow so far and how great you've done with yours! Best of luck to ya!

No I actually gradually switched to 12/12. I increased the dark period 2 hours everyday until I got to 12/12.

soon

 

[dfw-guy]

here yall are. today is flowering day 28, hitting the 5 week mark. This strain is a tad slow Am I right? I dunno. I want yall's opinions on them, feel free to say anything!

Maybe I don't need a microscope, just a camera!

 

[BUD08]

Some times plants seem to grow slow but remember that most of the time vegging is around a month and then the hard part sets in.....2 months to flower. I think they look great for day 28. Keep up the good work man and in no time they will be every thing your hoping for. Peace.

Just wondering though...what are your temps and your ph lavels? Are you checking the ph in the water pail or in the run off from the pots?

I had stunted groth one time due to the fact that my temps went up and another time because my ph was all out of wack.

 

[Munki]

Compared to where my grow is at, I'd say it is slow. Thought with the wider leaves, it would be a quicker finisher. Any stretching still happening? Measure daily and see if it is less than 1/2 inch per day of growth, you can declare you are in the fattening phase of flowering.
