I had to threw 2 out (males), so now its 2 sour, and an unknown seedling, but I have more germinating which is why I did not set up the lights compleatly.

24 hours later (right after installing the all new Dimotech Ghetto CFL Fixture 2.0¡...i knew woodshop would get paid off sooner or later xD)





Now theres a total of 25800 lumens in my 4 x 2; 3225 lumens per sq. Ft... is that good enouph? Im going to have a total of 34800 in about a week, but idk if ill upgrade again untill flowering.
Also, im keeping the lights a little further away now, because I have a half_ass wooden hood, and am using Y sockets so the light would not be coming from above the tops.......this got me thinking and....wouldnt that make the plant generate new tips, without stress? Or is it stress.
Ok I finally confused myself; carry on...
Thanks in advance

Im starting to worry about ventilation, in the pic u can see I put a tower fan flat on the floor to draw air in....but theres no hole in the door, so its just coming from that little crack on the bottom. Im using the top shelf of the closet to incubate some shroomies, so I can use the heat for now(also first grow). But I have no idea what im going to do later on.

Cool, I know a little about those too.

Here is a tek of mine that was put in the faq

1. I injected too much spore solution in some of the jars (original pf tek formula), is it possible I od'd on spores, or messed too much with the moisture content?




Spore overdose nah, but moisture content can be a problem. Depends on how much to much you did, if you can see water on the bottom of the jars they may take a while to finish.

Here is the way I make my syringes so obviously to many spores isn't a prob.
  There are just a few spores in there :wink:


Quote:

2. Is it true that potency is much greater in poo-grown over brf/wbs? This is for personal use (well including like 5 other people. We all tripped for first time recently and cant get any more) so potent cy>quantity.


  People can say that till they are blue in the face but myself I never found it to be the case. I like to grow on rye but it's all a personal preference thing.


The closet thing is a Martha Stewart closet from K-mart.

Here is a invention of mine that may work for ya if needed.

Here, i dont think you will see it tho. Inside there are white flake-like particles. They swen partially see-through too. And if your theory would enable them to colonize faster, then (sadly) you are mistaken. Today is day 5 (4 full days past) and no sign of a colony on any of the 16....

That I'm not sure about. Remember the moisture content may be off so that may be what is making the spores take a while cause even if the myc started to grow there will still be some spores in the solution but if the moisture content is way off (I can't see em so I have to guess on how over the moisture content is) they may never start. I over did some jars and they took 17 days to start but they did start and ended up finishing.
BRF jars also take longer to show signs then grain jars do. With BRF jars I keep em a few weeks before I trip with grains jars if the jars aren't completely done in two weeks I chuck em.

This jar was 9 days old when the pic was taken.

.did you use your tek (the one you showed me) for it?


Yup, that's what I do every time I grow on just grains.


Quote:

Do you think its a good idea to buy organic grains and mix them, or just get the home depo stuff?


I only use organic grains. Some of the store bought stuff is treated and the spores won't grow on it.


Quote:

And there is no watter on the bottom of the jars, just sweating where I poked it.


They should work then. They may take a while but they should work buuuuut I can't say for sure.

Quote:

Btw does it make sence to train autos?


Sure. That should be fine. There are others around here that have more exp with autos then me that may chime in.

Quote:

Also is 420 watts of cfl reasonable for a 2x2 space?


It should be just barely. I pretty much recommend to people 250watts of HID for the same space so it will be close.

Quote:

Im doing this from my phone (paranoid about ip), so typing is difficult and kinda confusing. Sorry


I wouldn't worry about it much. Put it this way their coming after me before they come after you. :wink: and it's just as easy to trace back a phone to the owner as a computer.

    #580076 - 08/22/11 07:38 AM (13 years, 5 months ago)

Ok, the only reason I even started with cfl is because the only way for me to get HID is through the internet. I heard of people using security lights, but they are nowhere near the right spectrum...right? Or is there a safe (privacy-wise) site to order them? I mean i'm sure there is, but I have no way of knowing for sure because they all say that.
Here are my best attempts to take a clear pic of the jar that got the most spore solution. If you can see, theres actually a void where it was inoc., and sweating all around that spot. In this jar, I can see  that the substrate is more wet at the bottom. Not enouph to form water drops or puddles, but clearly more wet. I just want to know if the other syringes are viable. If you could recomend a trustworthy place to order them, that would be great too. I ordrered these from sporeworks.

Update!
this is about 3 days into flowering, and I was about to start using fox farm nutes, but then I noticed about 4 lower fan leafs' tips got yellow and crispy. I researched it and it came up as n overdose or over watering every time..i watered h2o 2 times after the last update so im stumped. I know it can be ph (waiting for a ph meter from htgsupply right now), but I have no way to find out, and I used stirctly poland spring water the whole time.

Get the drops from the hydro store or a pool ph kit from the hardware store. Water the plants then check the ph of the runoff.



Myself I hate ph meters and just use these drops. Plus they are only about 6 bucks. :wink:

Went to 2 little hardware store and Ace,  but they didn't have the drops. The package should be here monday and the yellowing has not increased any more since I watered 3 days ago. Im still not going to feed untill I know the ph..even though the girls are looking hella hungry.
The 5 ak48 seeds are almost done germinating, so I made a closet groroom for seedlings. Total of 4220 lumens in 1.5 x 1.75ft space. Good nuff?

Ooh..wow. I thought even if it was too much, I would wash it away by watering w/ h20.
I flushed the survivor just now, but it was never as sick, so I used about 1 1/2 galons. Is that enouph?

She actually looks better then yesterday. Also, I was about to throw my brf jars out when I saw 4 colonizing:)

Ya I ph everything now lol. I took an empty cup, filled it w/ my soil mix and watered it with same nutes as I use (fox farm), then measured the runoff of that. I just watered the day before so I figured this was the best I could do. Came out beetween 6 & 7 but closer to 6.



The last pic is the strains I wanna use for sog. Is it a good choice? anyone know strains that worked well?

Nah, when they find that seeds are being sent they take the seeds out of the package and put in a note saying that they have taken the seeds and that if you want to try to get them it tells you how to contact them. (which I don't suggest you do if you ever get one)

As far as the closet goes ends up they can be found at a lot of different places. Just about any department store and I'm sure bed bath and beyond has them.

They look like this


Do a search under portable closets.


Yeah flipping the jars is a good idea. Remember there not grain jars there brf so they take way longer then doing rye or wbs. I've had brf jars take two months, also the right temps are crucial to there success. When the jars are fully colonized on the outside give then two more days or so for the centers to finish because if there not finished and you try to fruit them they will rot or mold before you see any shrooms.

Thanks, gotchu.

Update (the pics are from yesturday.)



The last pic is the ak48sm. Im keeping them under 4 26watt cfls for now (24/7 lights on). Theres also 3 poppy plants in there (got them free w/ my spores, so threw them in the ground and 3 sprouted.), hopefully they will help reduce smell later on.
