Ever think about deeper containers, The limited root development area may be holding those back some.

I've pulled a few out of the cups during flower and there isnt great root development. I attribute that to not enough time vegging. There's lots I messed up this grow that I plan on working on in subsequent grows. The CFL was probably a mistake in the first 2 weeks. The fertilization was light and of the wrong type in those 2 weeks (higher P). And a few other things.

I'm down to 4 plants now... :toker1:

There are some positives. The light clearly to me shows no lack of penetration or ability to grow and flower our favorite plant. The lack of ability has been all me I suspect. I wanted to build A 400W light for a more direct comparison but funds were limited. I think this light will do well once I get better.

It's getting to be about time to make clones for the next run.

I would like to go LED in the future but they are pricy
I want to build one, and started reading about it last week.
Are you using 1w or 3 w diodes?
The general consensus being 3 /1w are better than 1/ 3w
lots more soldering though.
and havent I seen amber colored diodes in many grow lights.?

I'm using 5w. Amber isnt really a needed color.

I want to change over for the heat signature more than the energy savings, my room gets hot as anything while my lights are on because I pump the hot air right out in my room.

i loves them plastic dixie cups

root baby root!

I have found I tend to over water and those babies loved it when I found that out and yelled back after I transplanted them in larger pots.. " Watch how fast we now grow .. thanks bro.!" Then this one plant I'm p-reety sure was sour cream goes. and waves its leaf at me

So I winked back.. Hey maN! Why not supposed its real and if its not ya have nothing to lose right?

Not taking over your thread bud but a grow takes um at least 3 or more days. so just helping you keep your grow going .. you transplant out of them dixies yet.

run those baby dry .. soak em before turning them upside down and get them into a loving larger home.
