So hot damn am I happy about my girls this time around!! Look how healthy they are using the Organicare line! First time I've used it on everything I just started hitting 3-7 with Bloom but I feed them Grow for the first week or 2... I've noticed if I didn't hit them with any of the Grow nutes then they didn't take off and stretch like I need them too! that's what happened with that last row that in there they were Thunder Goo's I just started out with bloom from the day I flowered them which made flowers appear quicker and no stretch...

not too bad huh? I'm especially excited to see what my bagseed Oregon Grape pheno A turns out like. Shes the girl up front in the 3rd pic with the hybrid like leaves and she stinks in veg and was some nice smoke with a really fruity scent to it so this is going to be interesting and will be a new clone only strain in all goes well!!! Lets all pray to the ganja gods that it's better than Chem Dog and start and new Grape line!!!!

Large population of dank going on there bro :cool: I agree about the nutes. I like to give it a full flower feed at, or right before the switch, then back to veg and phase it over to flower nutes during stretch, depending how much I need. Love the beneficial predator.

some of your plants look like experiencing typical coco problems, u finding those nutes easy to work with, do they stink?

Me again bro!
This time I'm writing to ask for your endless knowledge :bow:
is this sufficient lumen's??? for a space of
1300 X 440 X 750 = 17600LM(2 X 2 tubes)
L 52'' X D 17.6'' X H 30''
the lights are:
Superline T5 2x54w (High Output) Fluorescent Light Batten Code: T-SUPERLINE/254-FLU
Length - 1270mm.
Lumens - 4400LM(for one tube)
Warm White - 2700K

Do you think that would be enough or should I be adding an extra tube to bring it to 22000LM???
I've been looking around for a long time, I have checked out numerous setups & believe that a wardrobe with 2 layers as mentioned above & a third for bonsai mother/clone layer should be about the best use of space using fluos, bud units!!! :happy001:
Thanks for your help again:headbange

What typical problems are you noticing in this grow cuz IMO I think my girls are in PERFECT health right now are you speaking of some of the ladies in my HID tent or this grow?? I also have a bunch of new pics to share since I've decided to put my all into growing. I want to have a BOG going on in my tent and a HDSOG in my CFL cab so I can take care of my Moms meds and mine and be able to get QUALITY MEDS for CHEAP to the Cali MMJ family! Not too many people on here talk about the Bonanza of Green created my Bushy Ol Grower himself so I'll talk about it in a bit after I post my pics...

Ok I may sound a bit silly but dude all that mm LM ans superline t5s are all outta my knowledge buddy and not sure on your math cuz the way you worded it confused my stoner ass hahahaha But here's what I can tell you about my setup and what worked for me and the rules I follow with Fluoro growing...

My main flower cab is 15" deep 26" wide and 28" tall which comes out around 2.4 sqft or so. My bulbs are 42w 2700K which give out 2700 lumens each or so says the box it came in haha so I have 7 of them in there but it's usually just 6 so with the 6 of them that's 16,200 lumens over 2.4 sqft which is 6750 lumens per square foot. It's also 252w over that space which is 105w per square foot so that's double the HID recommendation and that's what I went with and it's worked out really nice for me as you can see so I hope you can figure out what you need from that answer :joint: Happy Growing

Massive Update!!!

Massive Update!!!

Ok so I figure I'm going to do the 48hr update on this grow since it's going so fast and it's looking to be my best grow to date in this cab. Alright I have some pics to share :woohoo:

Where to start ahhhhhhhhhhhhh shit guys I'm loaded haha thought I'd share that with ya too just smoked a nice bong load of Headband ok anyway on with the show!

Check this out this is why I LOVE the cut of Super Silver Haze I have and GUARANTY it shits on any of the other versions floating around my area cuz every time I check out SSH meds at the clubs they just don't compare and she speaks for herself... 12 days of flowering!!

Oregon Grape bagseed Pheno A will be taking name requests after I harvest her if she's a keeper and it will the West Coasts new Chem Dog type shit ya know!!!!
picture.php


Here's Pheno A again look how lovely the structure is and the stalks are thick and sturdy nice node spacing good stretch so far it's a keeper and it's stinky in veg always a plus!
picture.php


Flower Cab on 11-2-09 peep the SSH 2nd row if you count them left to right, that SSH of mine is a damn magic bean stalk full of goodness haha
picture.php


Here we have a row of Blue Dream on the left and Jilly Bean on the right
picture.php


This is the row of Strawberry Diesel(coffin cut)
picture.php


In this shot you see the 2 T.Goo's in the back and then it's a row of SSH then TGoo again
picture.php


The first 4 rows in my flower chamber, I copied DrBud by mounting another 42w CFL lower the rest so the first few rows don't need to be are closer to the light that way I don't need to set them on empty cups and have the hassle of raising and lowering ect
picture.php


Here's the rest of the rows with my row of TGoo kinda cut off in the bottom of the pic but you still see em
picture.php



So some people still seem to think the DrBud style of growing is BS and I remember reading a post somewhere on here and they had said that you can't get 7g a cut at 9 plants per sqft and he did it at 16 per sqft and so have I. Well now I'm at that 9 plants per sqft and my girls were flowered days apart this time not a week cuz I took too many cuts at the same time and I don't like having to cut them when they veg past the sweet spot. I waited as long as I could and it ended up being the way it is so here we are with a cab full of girls flowered damn near all at the same time a 9 plants per sqft and I am positive I get better than 7g on the ladies so I will update every 48hrs like he did and number a plant in each row to track so the haters can see somebody else with only about 2yrs of growing under his belt and only CFL grows and one shitty patio grow at that! The next post will be the girls I am going to number for us all to watch do their thing and to top it off it's all different strains too! Mwaahahahahahaahhahahahahaha :joint:

No flash used on this pic just wanted to show how well lit my soil line is! That looks like good light distribution and penetration if you ask me!
picture.php


Fuck seein stars when I get knocked out or die this is what I plan to see above me hahahaha
picture.php


My lighting for those of you who asked to see it and those wondering what my shit looked like up above my girls... It's all about Mylar man that stuff made my cab a good 20% brighter when I covered the walls and ceiling with it! The light just bounces all over the place in there... That's 7 42w 2700K Warm White and Soft White (same shit most the time just make sure it's 2700K or 2600K sometimes)
picture.php


Another shot of the lighting in my main CFL Flower Chamber
picture.php


Ok so this is my secondary flower chamber, when using this with 20oz bottles along with my main flower cab it gives me 13 rows of 4! Also the lights are closer by 6" in here too so no need to raise plants so weeks 1-4 start here when I use it. I HAVE to use with the 18oz cups cuz I can only fit 7 rows of 3 in the main cab and 3 rows of 3 in here so I get to run my strains for 10 weeks to really get the best outta them with the most weight and potency
picture.php


I need to hard mount my lights in here and mylar the ceiling but I'm lazy hahaha
picture.php


a empty 1.5 sqft cfl flower cab ! It should NEVER look this way unless plants are about to be put in there immediately!!!

Thundurkel takes a deep breath and lets it out ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok everybody that's what's going on with this grow hope you enjoyed this update cuz it took me quite some time to do hahaha now I'm off to watch The Taking of Pelam 123 and eat some Pizza Guys pizza smoking mixed bowls of Purple Ponic and Headband oh yeaaaaaaaaaaa :joint::woohoo::joint:

Thanks just showing what can be done if you put all your time and effort into it! I'd be pushing out ounces from my cab weekly by now if I didn't fuck shit off so many times but you live and learn and boy oh boy have I learned to LOVE Organicare and Pure Blend Pro more than Flora Nova cuz my plants produce more resin and smell stronger not to mention taste better!!! Oh yea and it's organic mostly and when I've been lazy and pulled a plant early without flushing and drying quickly in 2days in my veg cab with the fan blowing on it and cured for a few hours the shit was just as smooth as my flushed FN buds!!!! Go figure
 
My future plan is to upgrade to a tent and a 400 watter. i would love to pull a 1/4lb every 2 weeks, or every week if i could.

Hilbie, a typical coco problem is that there's no problem. So if that is the problem, Thund has a big problem. They look like perfect plants to me.

Only thing I don't get is that I've seen many types of coco and they all look quite the same. The stuff you use looks more like sandy soil than any coco I've seen but obviously it's doin' the trick. Good call on the pizza, I will be joining you on that soon. :D

thun your plants do look perfect, maybe like u said i was speakin of your tent plants. i just finished a flb grow myself and want to try something more organic, did u get your fantastic results with just bloom while in flower or did u run the whole lot , actually nevah mind, organicare isnt even organic. anyways, your plants do look fantastic, coco is a fun show to watch, plants just skyrocket daily. keep it up-

Scrub you are right bro about the coco you see in the pics it doesn't look like most coco and to be honest I'm not sure if it's that great I have found shit like a rusty nail and rocks in a bag and it takes a while to drain compared to my new Bio Coco which looks like a winner to me cuz this shit is SO nice and sponge like how coco should be has nice long fibers, I'll take a pic of it up close later...

The only info on the bag I can get is that it's made by Bio Juice and then on the bottom it has a website www.microhydroponics.com
