[sourdiesel109]

full leaves at the nodes not sure whats growing in the middle of the leaves yet just green no color 5 weeks old 8 inches tall all nodes have leaves so far 18/6 hrs whats next?

 

[stonedrone]

What's your setup bro?

 

[stonegroove]

i'd keep em on 18/6 for another couple of weeks or you could go to 12/12 and flower them, depends on how tall your flowering space is, a plant can more than double in height during flowering

office light only plant getting this light has its own area

half gallon pot the plant is very full leaves have alot of blades another month of 18/6? or shoud i start flowering earlier?

can changing the light now casue stress to the plant and can it kill it or will this just speed up the process?

im not sure im curremtly searching for a new stronger light any suggestions

 

[stonegroove]

for veg i use a 250w cfl cool white, 14000 lumens for a 3sqft area and for flower an air cooled 600w hps duel spectrum, 90000 lumens for a 6sqft area

HID lights make a lot of heat so if you get one you'll need some way of getting rid of the heat, if you can't, i'd go for a cfl setup, they make lots of light the plants can use and dont run nearly as hot, you can get cfl's in the red end of the spectrum for flowering, but hps are best

i have 500 watt halogens is that to high?

if you had read the links I provided, you wouldn't even be asking this..

 

[sourdiesel109]

sorry i read the link late

 

[Hick]

sorry i read the link late

hey... no need to apologize to me.. to your plants?,.. 'maybe'

Okay, so you realize that halogens are not good for your girls.

Something to keep in mind--Lumen for lumen, CFLs cost more to purchase initially, cost more to operate every single month, put out more heat, and produce less bud than a HPS.

halogen lights put one in and half since changing light how bad can it hurt the plant its very tall now ?

It is tall because it did not have the right kind of light and/or it didn't have enough light. Can you post a picture?

 

[sourdiesel109]

no pic sorry no camera to show will halogen light eventually kill the plant or should i really just stop using the light even though the plant is reacting very nicley to the light

 

[sourdiesel109]
