I hear ya Big dave....I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I was able to go two years from my last grow and hoping for the same this time around. I do plan on keeping a mother out of this grow so I can have a quicker turn around next time.
Thanks for stepping in, I'll take to ya later

Just wanted to show the new cfl I purchased

Left is a 26w/100w
Right is the new 65w/300w

Picked up two of them to supplement the 400mh/hps
The 65w are rated at 3,900 lumens

is plant #3 also NL? The first two look alot like the NL I have growing rite now but it seems like the 3rd one has much broader leaves.

There all looking very good though. Are you gonna try and make a clone out of that cut you took off of your first plant?

 

[CungaBreath]

Hey Lord,

Considering I can't be 100% positive if they're NL or even what strain of NL, your guess is as good as mine:confused2:
I'm the one that noticed the hand written nl on the little zip bag. All my friend could remember was receiving five extra "free seeds". I assumed NL would stand for NorthernLights but you know what happens when people assume about anything....

Waiting to see how #2&3 come along before cloning any of them. Wouldn't mind a nice indica mum too but I'm leaning towards #2 right now.
We shall see......

Love the bulbs lowes huh? Home depot has the 68 watts i found em after i got that same 65 watter at lowes. I'd go with three she has a more indy look to her.

lol....you are correct Sir Chef Must have hit the homodepot on the wrong day as they were out of the biggins.
I agree with you on number three but, I'll probably keep two mums till I can test out the smoke too :joint:

So what does the 68w compare with normal bulb 340w?

 

[the chef]

You get a little jump in lumens, 68 watt/2700k/4200 lumens. I've got two and the 65 watter running in the flower tent.

 

[CungaBreath]

Interesting how it's still rated as a 300w equivalent.
Thanks for the pic chef, I'll have to scan HD again now

 

[the chef]

Dunno still doing alot of research on cfl's. I got eco research teams i'm talking to. I should have a full printed report by jan.

 

[CungaBreath]

I ran across a site that tested a bunch of different cfl manufactures. Most of them were pretty close to the advertised rate. I'll see if I can find it again

 

[the chef]

Looking into the bulbs themselves at design. Very cool thnks!
