Re: Unknown strain Indoor/Outdoor, Soil 100% organic
Hey Gang, My good friend has had lots of luck with the cfl`s but does require alot. He used 4 cheap 4 bulb lite rods. The track lite rods/rails with the swivel/movable bulb sockets.( online lite shop`s or flea markets) They hold 4 conventional 60 watt bulbs so 240 watts at 120 v. This means and works that you can now wire 2 together to run off one plug/outlet. The 8 cfl bulbs at 26 or 30 watt = 208/240 watts at 120 less or equal to what. The fixture was rated for with 60w conventional bulbs. Do use care but this is simple wireing and if you have cabinet/ cheast that`s small. this allowes for flexability and LESS WIRES/KLUTTER. His veg box is 4ft long X 3ft deep X 4ft high. He found fired clay pots there donut shaped and hold 3 gals. of medium. There shape/size provides enought space for roots and allows them to be spaced and stagered how ever you need to utilize all space BONUS!! Two are hung on pulley to raise as needed but he ran two verticaily 1/3 way in on each side at center. As plants streatchs slide lower bulbs up rod. This gives 2 rows of 4 straight over head and 2 individuale 4 "spot light" bulbs you can direct into certian areas of plants. Thanks to pots spaceing, the fixtures adjustablity/flexablity and bulbs almost no heat you can jam them in there!! He has done individuale square`s of mesh to help seperate branches and at first sign of flower they go into 8ft X 8ft X 8ft crate! It has 4 400watt HPS and set temp/hum. The savings from cfl`s pays for one HPS!!! He also use`s CO2 whenever using lite, since adding CO2 3 growes ago. The only thing he changed was CO2 and increased yeild and gross weight. Maybe 25-30 gram/per/plant increase BUT!!!! Less shrinkage during cure, after one day weigh stash then after your done. He gained/loss less by adding CO2. The buds are harder and denser so instead of losing 10-15% weight/volume or more. Just something to share and if you have trouble with humidity starting out. Get quart square frige container add kitchen sponge add enough water that sponge can hold and 2 drops hydroperoxide.(wont get slimmy)Check every 12 hours add water/squezze sponge or put on lip. Then punch holes as needed if you need to lift 10% or till you get it correct. Hope all goes great, thanks for sharing!!
