Small update from joe's room
Day 29 of the bogbubble scrog, and my ladies are loving life.
The clones I took all just got topped as well, and the plant below in the left front container is a trainwreck seed a friend gave me. Havent sexed it yet, but I did take a clone that I intend to throw in the 12/12 and sex.
My nifty "single clone dome" contraption

Just about 5 weeks
Just about 5 weeks
Well I figured since I have about 3 to 4 weeks left under the light, I should make a vegging chamber. Out of my last grow I had attempted I managed to get about 25 seeds. So I am hoping 3 to 4 of them will become good mothers.
I have alot of vacant property in the area I live, so I am going to get some clones from these mothers and toss them outside, and see what happens.
So today, while the woman was out of town, I decided to build a quick box that would serve my mothering/cloning needs.
Cost, nothing. I used a 8x4 sheet of coated MDF board that was left over from my kitchen renovations. I have 6 fls that I will be installing. 2 on the top, 2 on the sides, and two in the back. I was kinda of hoping Santa would bring me a couple 125w CFL lamps I could replace the top two with. It is 5 feet tall, 2.2 ft deep and 2.5 ft wide. I will be using a Visqueen sheet and velcro for the front of it( I hate working with hinges).
But here is the box, without any wiring done yet, I have 4 days off this weekend, will be done b4 Wednesday.
My flowering plants are really starting to become noticeable in scent. I have been running the fans a bit more now as well, as I find the colder nights are raising the humidity in the box. I can normally keep the RH at about 50% but it is near 70% when I go in to sing Good morning to them.

i use a 400 watt for veg and a 1000 watt for flower.
i'm wondering if my 400 watt is putting out as much as it should. i have a new bulb and i can put the plants 4 or 5 inches under the lamp without it being too hot. is this typical of 400 watters? i would think it would be hotter that close to the light.
i'm just wondering if my ballast is old and needs replacing.
what do you think? how close can you get your 400 watt MH??
great thread.

howdy.
just to clarify, i just measured. it's actually 7-8 inches from the bulb. 5 inches from the hood.
dog, i keep my 1000 watt closer then that. put your hand under the light, when it stops being hot, that's how close your plants can be.
thanks

when i used to grow. i'd put my light within 3-4 inches of the plant. i put my hand under the light, and it was not too hot. i had a 400 watt MH with a large fan blowing right over the bulb and plants.
Fatboy Thanks for the idea there, I spent a good part of the morning playing with my plants, I decided I had them to far away, so after much looking around for stuff to prop the plants on, I dropped my light 6 inches, that gives me 10 inches to the plants directly under the bulb, and 8 inches to the plants on the outside.
We shall see what this does, I always thought there were alot of people with the bulbs really close to the plants in their pics. I have no cool tube but I think the heat is manageable where the light is now
