hello guys, decided to put up the first pictures of this grow.
Hope you enjoy, i will keep you posted.

I tried to keep all the plants as close to the soil as possible, only 2 got kinda tall, but its all good
The date on the pictures is wrong, i didnt reset it...this is current.

Here is the Soda can Reflector that i made, it seems to be working really well.

Hey man those are nice and grenny!

I have a suggestion about reflectors, I do windows and doors and we use aluminuin sheetmetal you can get them in white and can be bent to a good reflector. Just an idea if you can get a hold on some!
Really nice babies thou

thx dro, great idea. where would i come across that type of sheet metal??
LOL king, thanks for the great background image, my desktop looks great!!

Dr.Dro · Nov 23, 2007

That's the thing the only place I know to get it from is supply warehouses and they cost a minimuim of 250$ a role.
You can try Homedepot, Rona, Canadiantire etc. But I doubt it.
The best option that ill suggest is when you ever see contractors replacing windows go up to them and ask if they can cut and bend the size of alumunuim you wont and just toss em 10-15$ and there probably do it, I know I would

Ill ask around and ill get back to you.

couldnt aluminium be harmful if it reflects to much or sends heat off when the plants are that small? and is that aluminium can even reflective enuff to really amtter? great rigg tho great idea

lyfr · Nov 23, 2007

everything ive heard,read,etc says that alum foil reflects more heat than light...but most reflectors are made of alum,i think.i think that thing is looks like it works ee anyway imho...i just love the stuff people come up with here.makes me think i wasted a bunch a $ and missed out on some fun creatin it!

such cute little baby's too!

Ekoostik_Hookah · Nov 23, 2007

lol thanks dudes, but the can/refelctor isnt giveing off much heat at all...i thought it was at first...but its not.
Do thos babys look like they are suffering from Heat Stress?? I dont think sooo.
All is good, Imho i think the can works well. I did a small test to see if it reflected more light, and i do believe it does.
I sat in a dark room, and noticed how much light hit the celing, behind me, the floor etc... and i payed close attention to how much it lit up the writing on the wall, right infront of the light.
Overall, it lit the room up, but it wasnt focused on the writing on the wall, so i installed the can...i had no upward light, no light hitting the floor, and no light to my left. It directed the light straight onto the writing on the wall, and off to my right alittle.
The writing was much much brighter now, it was like i was pointing a spot light at it.......sooo i decided to go with it.

Only 3 more months to go...i hope. it may take longer with cfl, i have never flowered with anything other than hps, this will be different.

I like the can reflectors. I was thinking of making some out of pie pans but the soda cans would probably be easier.

Ekoostik_Hookah · Nov 23, 2007

ya, it was pritty dang simple, it took a sec to fit it to the ballast though

DankCloset · Nov 23, 2007

lool, iam gonna do it with the can, that actually looks like a hood lol

bombbudpuffa · Nov 23, 2007

Looking good. Love the can reflector...I might use your idea

.

Ekoostik_Hookah · Nov 23, 2007

cool, good luck if you try the can>
when you are cutting, and shaping. try not to dent/rinkle the main body of the can. it doesnt reflect as bright if its dented.

Ekoostik_Hookah · Nov 26, 2007

Heres a little update.
i think im going to switch to 12/12 soon.
I wanted them to get alittle growth before i made the switch.
