Plant #1
    #49417 - 06/02/08 10:29 PM (16 years, 7 months ago)

This is the first plant I started. It is bagseed. I'm not sure if its mids or heads. Some seeds got switched around. I have 3 other sour diesel plants as well. I'll post pictures of them in a second. I was just wondering how the plant looked and if you had any suggestions. I don't know when im supposed to prune it or anything. I just have it on the counter under lights right now. I got everything I needed to build a box with CFL's tonight. It will be built tomorrow. I'll use them until I can get the hps/mh setup I found.

It doesn't have a stick holding it up. It's decently strong now. The other 3 aren't yet. Those are under two really shitty small flourescent tubes. They will be under cfl's today. I am going to have the lights almost touching the plants. How far is that plant away from flowering?

About a month and a half..maybe two months. I've got about 4 sets of alternating nodes.

I mean when would be the best time to induce it? I figure it's going to get a little bigger after I get this box finished and get the CFL's on it.

What are the alternating nodes? Just where they change direction as it goes up?

I just got my box built. I broke the saw so I have to wait so i can finish cutting the door out. I have 4 100watt replacement CFL's in there. Each light is about 1600 lumens each. How many should I run until I can get my hps/mh setup?

23watts, I think. The box is around 4 foot tall and about 2 foot by 2 foot, give or take a few inches.

What kind of fan should I use to cool this down a little? the 4 cfl's shouldn't heat it up too much. I was thinking about drilling a hole in each side and putting a piece of PVC through it and a computer fan attached to one side. Where can i get the shit to wire one up?

Yeah, I don't think temperature should be too much of a concern. I have my CFL's hanging down and they will be right above the plants, so a little would be needed. I am going to put sheetmetal above the lights to reflect some of it back down on the plants. I am going to line the whole box with foil or mylar. Or I might paint it white. I'm trying to get everything done so I can get the plants in it. I just got 4 more plants from a friend. Purp and lemon skunk.

What would be better? Mylar or painting it white?

I've got spray paint. I should have taken the pieces outside and spray painted them first. The box is put together and hidden. I'll just have to go get a paint brush and a cheap thing of white paint.
