Here is the sister plant of the Runtz plant that topped itself at the second node. She was in flower when I got rid of her. Then my cousin put her back in veg for about another month. Now she’s about a month back into flower. She’s been moved around alot.
I’m trying talk him into a nice LED board and get rid of all those CFLs. CFLs work but I seen a big difference when I made the switch.

This is a funny trait that the FOREST CANDY has. The leaves turn over and try to reach the light. Some on her sister have really long stems trying to get light this way. Seems like more energy is used up trying to get light this way then just staying right side up and out. Some plants just don’t learn

Is there an easy way to look up people’s threads they create? Like if I wanted to see what there working on instead of what they are replying.
Those don’t look like cfl. But if they are, just tell him to get those screw in LEDs, the ones that draw 13-15w (100w equivalent). Tell him to take the domes off. 30-35w/sqft is all is needed to grow dense buds!
To see the threads that people have made, go to their profile and click the drop down window that says summary, and select activity, then in the second drop down that comes up, select topics.

Generally speaking, when the pH drifts up that means the plant is taking up more nutrients leaving behind the water. When the pH drifts down, it is drinking more water and leaving behind the nutrients.

He just has a couple of those led bulbs. Sorry it wasn’t the best picture. The rest of them are. He had some that had the glass around the coil. We knocked those off. He’s borrowing my light I use for my space bucket until he gets a light.
Once I get it back I’m going to use my space bucket to make seeds. I grew a Blue Mystic in the bucket and it did pretty well for growing in a 5 gallon bucket under 5 cfls.
I knew nothing of lolly popping back then. Lol. Now that I look back I’m like damn. I really should have cleaned her up a little!
Thanks for the info for looking up members work.

Thanks. I thought there had to be something to it. So if it drifts up I can feed a little more. If it drifts down I can back off the nutes a bit.

Yes, generally speaking. Sometimes the drift can be from bacteria etc.

How does one calculate w/sqft?

How does one calculate w/sqft
8 by 10 foot room
8x10=80 80x40 = 3200 watts
80 is the sq ft and 40 is watts per sq ft
make beans and share them

So for me
3x3=9
9x32 is 288 so I need at least 288 ways to produce nice nugs!
Makes sense why my nugs this grow are better than last grows!

Looks right by my math.
I push 75 per square ft.

Ah, yea that’s about right then lol. With the test runs people did with these screw in bulbs, past 35w/sqft starts to burn the plant, or has no benefit without use of CO2.

Sorry my friend you don’t know what you’re talking about.
If this conversation is with me, which I’m not positive cant tell.
Have never used co2, ever
I pull an elbow out of that 8sf with 8 plants.
1 month veg finish in a 2gal.
Never top, fem or manifold aunatural
Theorys are only as good as the people that think the shit up.
The more watts the better, think of the 
As long as you can harness the power and know how to handle the power you’re giving them.

No, not arguing or anything. I’m saying it makes sense with HID units. LEDs like the ones I’m using get diminishing return past 35w/sq ft without the extra co2 to let the plant utilize it. With LEDs, half the wattage isn’t pointing in the wrong direction and needs to be reflected back down. That’s the only reason LEDs can say they use less wattage, cause what it’s using all goes in the right direction.

I lowered my lights to about a foot from the canopy. She doesn’t seem to be responding to well. Looks like she beginning to foxtail. And I know that can be a heat issue.
So I’m going to bring them back up to about 18 in.
I have some sights that have really light green buds that look like they weren’t receiving enough light.
That’s why I figured I would try lowering the lights. I guess when I harvest I’ll leave those sights growing to green up a bit.

Foxtailing can be from heat, but also from having very bright lights. My banana kush fox tailed and my temp never got above 86 in the tent.

Regarding CO2. I have always just used a cup of sugar to 2 tsp of yeast to a gallon of water to make CO2. I only have a 3x2. Not even the 2 is only 20in. Weird dimensions right?
Anyways has anyone tried to measure the amount of CO2s from this method? Cause if I’m wasting my coffee sugar on this I would like to know.
