Going With All Fluorescents

[SmokinWhisper]

Hello I'm Whisper and pretty new to grow and on top of that i'm using all fluorescents so the turn out should be interesting!
I'm using two 2' cool whites for my clones which i am having terreble luck with so far! lol 2 3' cool whites for veg. and gonna use 2 150 watt equv. CFL's for budding i have not made it that far yet because of my clones not surviving but they should be fine because i beleive i found my main porblem.
anyways with post pics from start till current A.S.A.P
i am very interested in what everyone has to say, sure it will mostly be negitive because of all fluorescents but everyone has there own opinions and experiences lol!

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

left is blue ghost and right is a BC1 they were about 3 weeks at this point I received them from a a dear friend!

this is about 4 weeks along was starting to worry about the BC1 at this point but she was good and healthy just not in a rush i suppose!

a few days later

5 weeks! they r coming along notice the growth!

This is the day i brought home MK Ultra if she turns out anything like what i smoked she will be beautiful!

A day later pick up my mystery plant! the dispensary got it mixed up so there is no clue what it is lol i got it so i can name it lol
also took some clones

That's alright alot of people are using florescent. You do what works for you plus it's always interesting too see how they grow and flower under various lighting.

The pics are a little fuzzy as far as seeing them close enough to make out health but there looking good from what I can see. There are alot of journals on here and we know how everyone likes there bud porn, so it takes some time for people to get caught up. This community isn't known for judging. Like I said if anything it's fun to see the various growing scenario's.

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

There looking good. When do you plan on flowering?

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

Lol as soon as my luck comes around with my clones lol I was planning on budding my Blue Ghost (the lady by her self) this weekend but with her being undder the 2 CFL's she has shown very promising new grow so figure I will let her veg a while longer! She finally stopped growing height wise and she is starting to fill out quite nice I will post a recent pic of her! She has about 3 times the amount of new growth than in the latest pic! I've been kinda iffy on budding with the CFL's but if the do half as good in bud as they do veg they should work out great! I plan on cleaning out my shed as soon as we get a good stretch of weather and then I won't have to worry about having room so should have an excellent set up out there!

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

hey guys i'm still having bad luck with mine clones and was wondering if i can get any suggestions!

Right now i have changed things a bit and have my clones back in the top section in with my veging plants, as you can see they are in the top section..

but still have the 2 2' cool white t12's dedicated to them i am using Lilly Miller vita-start transplanting fertilizer w/ vitamin B1 and two rooting hormones 3-8-4

says 2 teaspoons to 1 gallon
and i pre soak the soil and mist with the solutions to and after 3-4 days end up with this

now i did get my hands on a container that has a clear top that i cam tring and they r 3 days old what do you guys think? think there is hope?

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

Hmmmm guess my thread wasn't good enough for a reply with help on my cloning process lol

 

[SmokinWhisper]

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

Well I do appreciat the reply! Don't have any cloning hormone but do have a vitamin and rooting solution can't remember the exact name but its on my post asking for sugestions!
Also y such a hurry on flowering with fluorescents? I figure it would be best to leave them be for an added 10 - 15 days because of lack of lighting power but didn't think there was any rush to start other then not being able to stand my own intisapation! (In-tisa-pation) sorry I can't spell for shit lol!

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

Also with my set up if my veg do ya'll think I even need the 2ftrs? Would the 3ftrs be enuff for the clones?

 

[SmokinWhisper]

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

Very true never thought about that so would the sea of green be the best way to do it? From what I understand that's just were u let a bunch of plants veg for only a month or so to where they get about a foot tall and only produce one big bud? Correct me if I am mistakin!

 

[SmokinWhisper]

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

Would LST work fine even tho the tall one has developed so much? I don't want to damage her so would it be best to just leave her be and just deal with a lower yeild rate? Also how much does a plant tipically stretch when u first put them into flowering cause if my BG gets any taller I will have to find another place for her lol and any tips on making my lower section light proof? Figure I can put 2 peices of wood I have laying around together and put ba blanket on the inside and tacking mylar to it for reflection think that would be an idea? Sorry I'm a redneck from indiana stuck in a rain forrest lmao so forgive me if my ideas are a little odd. Kinda hard to loose my redneck injanuity lmao!

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

Alrighty so an up date my blue ghost grew to tall for my area so took it to a friends house who is going to flower it under a 1000 watt mh and I picked up 3 more storage unit seedlings so now have 7 plants veging and 10 clones still going they have not rooted yet but look like they r doing well will upload some pics later this morning still at work at the moment Boooo! Lol anywayz
Good growing all!

Re: Going with all fluorescents.

Alrighty guys been working crazy shifts so haven't had to update!

well my clones are coming along nicely!

2 up front are MK Ultra and the other 2 are Blue Ghost!

I have my mystery plant up front left and the others are SU's (random seeds a friend found them in a storage unit he bought at auction so hence SU lol)

Here is in my flowering area MK Ultra in focus and the 2 one the left are SU's

And here is My BC1!

Also just a shot so you can see how tall they are the BC1 is about 4 inches taller
(MK Ultra right and middle is the 2 SU's)

All and all everything is coming together! just added another CFL in the bottom which makes 3 total also I am starting my flowering cycle tomorrow!! i am very excited!! figure if i start now when my B-Day i can be smoking on my own home grown! Be a present to my self lmao!!
