@krypekeeper hey im not knockin yur plants.....they look good..yur using fox farm right? i used FF last year on my outdoor but didnt quite do the job. thats why i switched nutes for my indoor and im happy i did. my bad if i sounded like i was talkin shit...didnt mean it that way. this is my FIRST indoor grow so im not a pro but i have been around this game for a while...how many watts total u running?
The idea that you cant grow fat buds under a CFL is bullshit. Before HID lights were availible for non comercial use, growers grew under florescent light and produced centerfold quality buds. Although HID lights are ideal as far as lumen output and spectrum, they are not always appropriate for small enclosed grow rooms due to the heat. You can offset small or "airy" bud growth with proper nutrients and by keeping your pH in check.
@michealjohnedmondson vegging is short for the vegetative stage of the plant (18/6 or 24/0) the time where your plant grows most of its leafs and branches and when your plant uses lots of nitrogen. the longer you veg the bigger your plant will be in the end. all you have to do is keep in under 18/6 and you can veg as long as you like and use as a mother , but have to wait ATLEAST till its 10-12iches before flowering (the point where the plant starts producing bud)
@michealjohnedmondson really depends on your nutes, lights,and the strain. so flowering at 1ft would make it between 1.5-2ft you could get an 1/8th you could get Oz's
If the top cola or some nice sized sides are looking ready to you and the reast of the plant doesn't, by all means harvest what you think is ready and let the rest go till it's to your liking.
The whole query about he orange hairs in different places on the plant. The top will usually ripen before the lower parts. Just like any other flowering or fruit-bearing plant, the entire plant doesn't ripen at the same time. Just because a pepper plant has 8 or 10 peppers growing on it and 4 or 5 are nice and ripe and ready to pick, doesn't mean they're all ready.
I grow in 3sq/ft, 3'wide x 1'3"deep x 40" tall with 4 65watt (true power, they're 9 inches long), 2700k and 5 23watt 6500k, lined with blk/wht poly, 6" intake fan, 4'" exhaust (no fan). 10 2 week rooted clones at 8" will make 2-2.5 ounces easily and be and inch from the lights in 1/2 gallon pots using FFOF and a small shot of bloom food every once in a while. It just takes a little tweaking here and there till it works, just like any indoor grow.
@krypekeeper You'd be better off with 4 clones per sqare foot.. so you'd have 36, 30-35" clones when you're done with a flat rack of lights 2-3 inches above the top of the plants.
LST and all that stuff takes too long to veg out to a decent size to get anything worth the time. If you have the time, go for it, but a bunch of (8-12) early-flowered cuttings always do it for me.
better than i thought it was going to look. i'm planning on doing a similar setup, slightly more wattage for flowering and a couple more veg lights of the same specs
cfl bulbs are ok for growing but you wont hardly have any chrystals on them and more than likely low resin production. buds will more than likely be soft and puffy. dont get me wrong you can grow some sticky ass bud with a pretty good t5 or t8 system. I've seen some buds grown with a high output t5 system and it was completely caked with chrystals.
@dunno414 .....the light doesn't determine how sticky the bud is gonna be, thats down to the nutes and strain., and i got more then an Oz from 6 CFls makin less then 150w
@krypekeeper im not saying the plant wont produce with cfls just that quality and quanity are reduced when compared to the hid lights. airflow and uv rays contributes to resin production also. im not sure but i think the humidity plays a role also because the resin is sort of a mechanism to keep the plant from drying out.
@krypekeeper Get a universal reverse osmosis system, 3 stage. 99.5% clean water, good for you and good for the plant, it boosted the THC in my medicinal plants.
@FIZZEL415 Tap water contains to much crap like fluoride (toxic), including rust from old pipes, boiling it does nothing and doesn't get rid of fluoride. stick to a reverse osmosis filter brothaman.
@FIZZEL415 Check it out bro, Reverse osmosis filter 5 stage is 5 filters in one. As soon as I got that system my buds grew crazy big, my yield is twice as much. I have a solar generator also, off the grid, big brother is always watching for heat above the sky. For personal use buy yourself a carbon free shower filter, rusting shower pipes and chlorophyl gives you skin rashes. Fluoride is known to be rat poison, so check your toothpaste out right now, and get a organic one no fluoride
@dunno414 "but you wont hardly have any chrystals on them" and "dont get me wrong you can grow some sticky ass bud with a pretty good t5 or t8 system." = CONTRADICTION. So many experts on youtube.....
@troglodyte3344 He is saying you won't get much crystals with cfls, but you will with normal florescent lamps, so it's not a self contradiction; It's just wrong.
@examinationboard nope was saying that an average cfl will not produce much but a highoutput t5 could possibly gow some crystalized bud. dont understand how that is wrong at all.
@dunno414 You were saying cfls yield barely any crystallized buds, when that is not true. There may not be as much as a full blown hps grow, i've course, but it is still ok.
"you wont hardly have any crystals on them" is where you went wrong.
@dunno414 man..im using 23 watt CFLs and my shit is FROSTY...you dont know what your talking about with that...ive seen the HO t5's....nice but its all blue spectrum...all in nutes,and TLC
@examinationboard all you guys talking smack about CFL's not producing trichomes.....check out my videos.....camera sucks but these buds are almost white
@troglodyte3344 t5 and t8 systems are way better for growing than you're average cfl which is what i was referring to in that comment. average cfl is shit for growing but some t5s can grow some sticky bud. i'll be waiting for some sort of smart ass reply.
@dunno414 .No smart ass reply. ill just repeat what was said above about bud crystals...."the light doesn't determine how sticky the bud is gonna be, thats down to the nutes and strain., and i got more then an Oz from 6 CFls makin less then 150w." Now you have been told twice...
Your strain seems to be a sativa indica hybrid & the pheno somewhere in between so I would say in regards to why the tops pistols are changing color first is that is a sativa trait! Sativas tops mature faster than the bottom colas but that is just a preliminary hypothesis!
@yahshuah29 Also the plant is selectively putting out pistils to try to pollinate a certain part of the plant! The other thing you have to remember is those "hairs" are coming OUT of the calyxes so when you have more calyxes closer to the light getting more growth hormone to the main cola than the side branches you get enlarged calyxes with more elongated pistils or "hairs" :)
@Astrarave420 Uh I dont see your logic here? Im speaking from years of actual experience & I can tell you that plants do not select what parts it wants pollinated, secondly all hormones are always in the main cola (during daylight) it has nothing to do with it being close to the light! Maybe the reverse is true though that I do not know but what does that have to do with wait it just hit me what you are saying hmmm maybe you are right?
@yahshuah29 Well the goal of any plant or animal in the world is to keep it's genetic line alive by sexual or asexual reproduction, correct? If the previous statement is true then the plant is just doing it's job to make itself the best candidate for pollination thus keeping it's genetics alive. Everything in the world that's living naturally has instinct to want to survive that's why rabbits run from hawks they don't want to be eaten, a species will CONSTANTLY adapt to make itself the candidate
@Astrarave420 Dude I am totally not impressed with any of this BS over complication of growing you are spewing! Its clear that you are a want to be grower who has done to much reading & zero growing. STOP STATING VERY OBVIOUS & BASIC SHIT IN AN ATTEMPT TO APPEAR KNOWLEDGEABLE! Sativas mature from the top down Indicas do not so is it because sativas want to be pollinated & indicas dont? I tried to be polite but that seems to only encourage you so beat it kid!
@yahshuah29 Actually I just pay attention to everything OTHER growers are TRYING to teach me. All plants develop from top to bottom, you're obviously an idiot >.> I've done 7 full harvests and I'm on my 8th... I'm not the most experienced, but, I listen to advice... I wasn't even talking shit about you, I WAS being polite and encouraging and trying to help explain to the UPLOADER (not you) a possible explanation for his question... I was adding to what you said fagtard
@Astrarave420 Look punk if you want to talk to the uploader imbecile stop sending me the messages guess your the IDIOT! Secondly rookie "I've done 7 grows" Ha ha so I have done this for 20 yrs little kid & all plants DO NOT MATURE from the top down Indicas for the most part mature more uniformly than sativas put in 100 more grows & then I will listen to you ok kid!
@Astrarave420 You know what this is silly why are we calling each other names over this? Let me stop it here MJ growers always debate about our love interest but we usually have a camaraderie I do not want to discourage you in gaining knowledge its important! Experience will teach you that you can over complicate things sometimes also. Besides we are both correct on this issue just using different terminology so I will hit a spliff & cool down keep learning bro!
@yahshuah29 The closer to the light it is the more effective lux (lumens per m2 or w.e) that the plant is receiving making photosynthesis faster as long as there's no heat stress along with the closeness of the lights :)
All Bullshit aside , ur doin great , we all start somewhere and learn as we go , my first grow makes me laugh now, but it taught me a lot , keep doin what ur doin and ull b blowing up fat , I used cfl too bro , now big time hps, air conditioners , filters etc..... Good shit though , keep growing , peace
wal-mart sells conical reflectors for like 6 bucks. It up my yield by around 60% and change your bulbs to soft white during flowering and up the lumens to around 3000 per square foot. other than that nice shit bro
@danu3rah1 warm white is what you want (2700k) soft white is 5500k i believe. im sure it would work but 90% of people that grow with CFL say straight 2700 or a mix of 2700s and 6500s. I had close to 10,000 lumens in a 2 sqft space with one plant, ill look into those reflectors though
@krypekeeper no soft white is 2700-2300k or high in red spectrum, puts off the yellow colored light natural light or sunlight is 5k and up 5k up for veg 2700k and under for flower, u can also mix the 2 when ur plants are mature in vegging if grown from seed and it will cause them to pre flower even if under 24/7 light, this lets u determine sex without forcing 12/12 b4 pre flower which also gives far less chance for hermi's by letting them pre flower naturally
@krypekeeper if anyone wana cheak out my plants message me or hit me up, im doing a cfl grow and just getting my mother plant in tip top shape have nodes bout half inch apart there so tight together using str8 5k 23 waTT CFL 4 OF THEM ON ONE PLANT 9 MAIN BRANCHES SUPER CROPPED USING HER FOR CLONES SOON, BUT I DONT POST MY STUFF RIGHT OUT HERE DUE TO RISK BUT MY STRAIN IS SKYWALKER FROM SEED AS I LOVE THE INTENSE BLUBERRY SMELL AND GR8 FRUITY TASTE WITH DANK AFTER TASTE FROM THE MAZARR CROSS
the orange is just showing that it is maturing all that means generally they start at top and work down but it all depends on the plant and what it wants to do but yes ur hairs are showing its getting closer to the end of its cycle, nvr use this as a time to harvest tho get a cheap 330-40x hand held microscope or strong magnifying glass and check ur tricromes the diamons in the sun as i call em when they start turning milky to amber then its cutting time be sure to learn well on drying n curing
Hey man my advice is the orange hairs on the lower nodes are due to them being more shaded and hence are flowering quicker then the ones in full light
so i'v got a bunch of 23w, 120w equiv. and i was wondering the kelvin.... not sure how exactly to tell so just wondering. im also using fox farm:D same ones as urs.
IVE NOTICED THE SAME THING WHIT THE ORANGE HAIRS ONLY ON THE LOWER BRANCES OF MY PLANT. IVE BEEN USING CFLS AND I THINK ITS JUST THE FACT THAT THE BRANCHES ARE SMALLER THEN THE MAIN COLA AND THERE GETTING THE SAME AMOUNT OF LIGHT. SO THERE JUST MATURING FASTER. IT ALL REALLY DEPENDS ON WHEN THE TRICOMES ARE READY NOT THE HAIRS TURING ORANGE
when you have 80% brown hairs on the full plant that is the optimum point of the THC go any further and the bud will produce CBD u want the THC really thats wot gives u the buzz and real body stone but the CBD will give u a lazy cant be assed doin anthin stone lol really nice girl u got there for your 1st grow keep it up i subbed
@wrongun100 the hairs arent always good to go by, im gonna go by the trichomes. when the trichomes are about 40/60 amber/clear ration thats when you wanna harvest. (ive read anywhere form 20/80 to 60/40) as far as CBD levels go, thats tru about what you said CBD is a result of the breakdown of THC, but CBD accounts for more then 50% of the medical effects of weed.
Hey Your plant's hairs turning from white to orange is natural, your fruit is beginning to ripen . Your plants should be finished around 8 weeks of flowering. Pick up a 45x microscope and check your trichomes to ensure peak ripeness. You want to harvest when most of the trichomes are MILKY white and some are turning amber.
Subscribe and watch my video of a legal 3000 watt marijuana grow new video every sunday. Can help answer questions
no I'm saying the hairs represent what would be a seed pod, had you pollinated your plant. their are 2 hairs for each pod an once they turn brownish they become non accepting of pollen to produce seed. if you were to take some pollen from a male plant and just touch 2 hairs on any location of any bud you would get a single seed at that bud site and seedless everywhere else.
The hairs turning orangish brown are signs of would be seed pods maturing you are looking for about a 70-80 percent maturity status on bud sites before harvesting.
Yo u did good.... I mean u only had cfls to work with love to see the finale product an keep in mind cfls work better on true plants an not clones

@danu3rah1 warm white is what you want (2700k) soft white is 5500k i believe. im sure it would work but 90% of people that grow with CFL say straight 2700 or a mix of 2700s and 6500s. I had close to 10,000 lumens in a 2 sqft space with one plant, ill look into those reflectors though
krypekeeper 3 months ago
@krypekeeper Divide your lumens by witdh and depth of space. 10,000 by 2= 5,000 by 2=2,500 lumens per square ft.

@krypekeeper no soft white is 2700-2300k or high in red spectrum, puts off the yellow colored light natural light or sunlight is 5k and up 5k up for veg 2700k and under for flower, u can also mix the 2 when ur plants are mature in vegging if grown from seed and it will cause them to pre flower even if under 24/7 light, this lets u determine sex without forcing 12/12 b4 pre flower which also gives far less chance for hermi's by letting them pre flower naturally

the orange is just showing that it is maturing all that means generally they start at top and work down but it all depends on the plant and what it wants to do but yes ur hairs are showing its getting closer to the end of its cycle, nvr use this as a time to harvest tho get a cheap 330-40x hand held microscope or strong magnifying glass and check ur tricromes the diamons in the sun as i call em when they start turning milky to amber then its cutting time be sure to learn well on drying n curing
smokethatskywalker 4 months ago
Ok would they work for the whole process are you have to get a bigger light for the harvest

Hey man my advice is the orange hairs on the lower nodes are due to them being more shaded and hence are flowering quicker then the ones in full light

IVE NOTICED THE SAME THING WHIT THE ORANGE HAIRS ONLY ON THE LOWER BRANCES OF MY PLANT. IVE BEEN USING CFLS AND I THINK ITS JUST THE FACT THAT THE BRANCHES ARE SMALLER THEN THE MAIN COLA AND THERE GETTING THE SAME AMOUNT OF LIGHT. SO THERE JUST MATURING FASTER. IT ALL REALLY DEPENDS ON WHEN THE TRICOMES ARE READY NOT THE HAIRS TURING ORANGE

when you have 80% brown hairs on the full plant that is the optimum point of the THC go any further and the bud will produce CBD u want the THC really thats wot gives u the buzz and real body stone but the CBD will give u a lazy cant be assed doin anthin stone lol really nice girl u got there for your 1st grow keep it up i subbed
wrongun100 10 months ago
@wrongun100 the hairs arent always good to go by, im gonna go by the trichomes. when the trichomes are about 40/60 amber/clear ration thats when you wanna harvest. (ive read anywhere form 20/80 to 60/40) as far as CBD levels go, thats tru about what you said CBD is a result of the breakdown of THC, but CBD accounts for more then 50% of the medical effects of weed.
thanks for the comment, appreciate it

krypekeeper 10 months ago
Hey Your plant's hairs turning from white to orange is natural, your fruit is beginning to ripen . Your plants should be finished around 8 weeks of flowering. Pick up a 45x microscope and check your trichomes to ensure peak ripeness. You want to harvest when most of the trichomes are MILKY white and some are turning amber.

jaa91420 10 months ago
no I'm saying the hairs represent what would be a seed pod, had you pollinated your plant. their are 2 hairs for each pod an once they turn brownish they become non accepting of pollen to produce seed. if you were to take some pollen from a male plant and just touch 2 hairs on any location of any bud you would get a single seed at that bud site and seedless everywhere else.
ewetubesuxass 10 months ago
@ewetubesuxass ok
krypekeeper 10 months ago
The hairs turning orangish brown are signs of would be seed pods maturing you are looking for about a 70-80 percent maturity status on bud sites before harvesting.
