Boss's Poor Mans Grow

[Boss]

Thanks for that :-)

To answer an earlier question about doing it over with cfl's or hps, for the 12/12 method, I am going to use HID in my next grow (2-400w MH) and the leds.

However under the same situation, I would do it over and over. CFL's and high output floros definately have a nich. It just made so many things a bit easier, and a bit cheaper. They allowed me to add to the grow room a bit at a time vs spending everything up front.

I may end up going back to all cfls, or an LED CFL combo grow again, due to heat concerns. It all depends on how cool I can keep the room.

My 400 MH does not seem to kick out much heat, not compared to the HPS....It is 12" off the top of my plants and the temp is 82 at the tops..I do have some fanage going on though....

Well Boss, it took a while for me to get through the journal. Nice grow, man!
A heck of a good job growing and explaining everything. Gorgeous plant and bud photos too. Beautiful CFL grow. Thanks for sharing.

uh that wuz supposed to be one of those lil faces..oh well..

When you mentioned your concerenabout the color and a possible calcium def. What color are the stems ? and you might consider checking your Ph and make sure its in the zone to help the nute uptake. You may not have a def. tThey sure look nice. Well done ! How many light will you use for flowering ?

The stems were purple on the top. Turned out to be the cold temps at night, and partly the strain. I had pretty strict control over the pH until the tall sativa was pot-bound.

Just wanted to stop in and let you all know i will be back very soon. Waiting for the internet to get installed, and in the meantime i am driving to the corner to the local wi-fi.

Central florida is hot! My room is setup, but no way to start anything until I get a room a/c in there, bummer. I miss you all, and can't wait to get back!!
