Boss's Poor Mans Grow

[zolar]

i should have checked this out much sooner great thread

re reflectors for CFLs have you tried white freezer paper for the roof of
the cab i use manila envelopes all the time for direct contact on CFL light in my bedroom to stop glare spot on tv or computer monitor i cut the edge off one side and cut a V notch in opposite side slide the open envelope
over the bulb with the notch over the center of the bulb voila instant lampshade

pipecleaners and freezer paper and a zip tie would probably work to make a shaped reflector for hanging CFLs [stapler also]

by the way poor man's pinch nutrients
urine and water aged 10-20 parts water to 1-2 urine

sweden or somewhere did nute anaylysis on urine and its
a high percent nitrogen plus traces of lots of minerals

chopped up hair added to dirt [ high N]

wood ashes mixed with water [use clean barbeque grill and a bunch of twigs smalll branches off of trees start fire with recycled paper or brown bag or grain alchol , high proof booze or dry grass to minamize chemicals in ashes addd teaspoon to tablespoon to each pot of dirt or make tea in a bucket and strain {K and P source}

compost tea ---- bucket + leaves + water let stand a week or so
put old water borttle in with top under water and it will fill
without collecting big debris in water

none of these will give you controlled feeding for your plants but all are variations of accepted organic and commercial agriculture practices
read the label on a fertilizer bag what do you think urea is?......

i use tree leaves in much of my composting because i almost never see folks spraying nasty chemicals on the leaves of shade trees vs all the lawn chemicals in grass clippings and occasional sprays on fruit trees......


hope this help some cash short grower get through in a pinch

I just moved here to San Antonio and I thought I was alone in this conservative town. Good to know there are others out there.

Boss? Can you help on this. What's an I-pod lol.

First find the location of the images on your computer. Then go to "VIEW" and click "Details", this will tell you how large they are. If they are over about 420k, they have to be resized. More on that here-http://www.420magazine.com/forums/42...ad-photos.html

All you have to do is go to the photo gallery and click on the "Upload images" button on the top right. This will give you the ability to search for the images on your computer and upload them to the gallery.

[helloiggy]

very nice. I was wondering how the hell you have them so hort? Is there something you do? Everytime I start a "real poor mans" grow they grow really tall quickly. I mean before it even has a whole set of leaves they are at that height. Only tried it a couple time and they grew fast as hell each time. Nice plants though.

[helloiggy]

Im san antonio too. Hey bro whats new.

[berrydizzle]

I would say you had the lights too far away from the plants...they weren't getting enough lumens so the stretched for them. Thats how you get tall plants real quick, with not alot of nodes.

[Boss]

To keep height down as much as possible, nutes have to be right, watering has to be correct, there needs to be good air flow and temperature control, and the light needs to be as close as possible at all times.
