I use LST and Topping as well on a plant that fell sick and fell behind the others. It is now the bushiest and biggest, just went into flower two days ago. 5 gallon bucket with a 1000 watt hps.
if ur into cfl's check out the 100 watt (300 watt equivalent) they sell at lowes and home depot. they are beasts!!! they put off 3600 lumens each, 2700 k for flowering and give great results. the best thing about them is they are only $15 each
you seen those 125watt 6500k or 2700k at amazon.com for 80.00 with hood or 38.00
thats with shipping just for the 125watt cfl?im using 1 for veg because t5s always go
out in pairs of 2 when they burn,nice grow also htgsupply has a 150watt hps for 85bucks free shipping would make a great addittion to yer already nice setup :0)
bro how many times did you top your plant is that why it has alot a buds all over i want my plant like that but do now when to top its about 3 weeks already should i top it????
@909jessy not my post but it seems no reply's are going out.. If you top you will get more budding locations but you may not get the same quality or yield. Some strains are better for topping than others.
Why does it matter how many bud sites there are? I grew a plant in my room a while back which was basically one bud. Got 8oz from it. only took up about 1 square foot of space. But I had 1600 Watts of HPS lights in a room the same size as yours...
The reflectors are about 3x3 themselves, do the math, its obvious that its not only impossible to fit those two lights in a space that small, but lets say you had magical powers and you did, the temps would over 150F even with tons of ventalation.
Im telling you that you lying and its VERY OBVIOUS, and by the way, you've never seen one of my grows and I can imagine the kind of yuelds you get, which is 0g's, BECAUSE THEY'RE IMAGINARY.
@DrPsilocybin Not really following you. 2x1 metres maybe. It was actually 4' x 8', where'd you get 2x1 from? 2x600W and 1x400W all with batwing reflectors which are about 1 1/2 feet long. I had 3 lined up over 8 foot. 4 1/2 feet of reflectors spread over 8 foot. How is that impossible? I think perhaps you have misunderstood what I was saying
@DrPsilocybin And in my current setup I'll have even more light. I'm about a week into flowering but still have a bit more equipment to put in. When it's all done, over the next month I'll have 5 x 600W HPS's in a wardrobe that is 12' x 2'. That means each 600W light will be lighting an area of 2' x 2'4". The wardrobe is only 5' high so the volume is only 120 cubic feet. The inline extraction fan clears the room completely several times an hour, keeping it cool.
@DrPsilocybin OK, I can see where the misunderstanding is coming from. My room was 8' x 4' x 4'. The room in the vid I would have estimated at about 3' x 4' by maybe 6 or 7' high.. Mi room was a pretty similar space, yes probably about 25% bigger but lying on its side giving 8' x 4' of area to be light up rather than the 3' x 4'. I was referring to the total space of the grow room, not just the size of the plant
Defnitally not 3x4, maybe 3x2, even still your not getting 1600w's in there any even if you did, just put the bulbs in there, that absolutely fucking pointless, the temps would be way past anything reasonable and you would NEVER need that much light in that small of a space, that would be EXTREME overkill.
Bottom line, you where lying when you said you had 1600w's of HPS in a room the size of the one in the vid.
@DrPsilocybin Whatever you reckon mate. I started growing in 1984, 3 years before I ever smoked the stuff, lol. In 1989 I got my first light box. It was called a 'Phototron' and was heavily advertised for s while back there. Early '90's I got my first HPS and haven't looked back. I have done the experiments, tried every combination and I believe intensity is the key. Buds are way chunkier and if the seed company says 500 grams per m2, I know I can get at least 750.
good try man, but that is no were near a beast, them nugs are actually pretty darn small. beast of a stem though, you should try rocking them under a 1000 watt hps,then you will see beast ,best of luck to you!
@Dsaysfucku619 i fimd it at about the 4 or 5th set of nodes, then i tied the branches down as they got longer, topped them off too, then let all the secondary branches grow from the ones that were tied down, and voila! its kinda like the bonsia mum method, only not for clones. also i pruned mad leaves to promote branching, contrary to wut most growers say
@MH2topspot it prolly would amount to the same weight anyways but i know wut u mean. i actually harvested a lil early so i coulda got more, but either way it depends on how much u feed it and how much light it gets. not really how many budsites there are
my outdoor plants got stolen!!! had 8 nice plants around 4 foot tall and were budding nicely and some cunt has stolen them.....time to grow hydro, have never grown indoor but will start....can someone give me some tips on how to grow indoors.....can u grow indoors but in pots?>>>>>please help me and wat lights do i need??????/....id like to grow atleast 10-12 ounces..
@CWA1982 yea u can grow in pots just make sure theres drainage holes in the bottom, and jic u dont know hyrdo and indoors are two different things. hydro is indoors but indoors isnt hyrdo. make sense? just look online for cannabis grow guied theyre all over
btw i know what sea of green is but the way the tops were basically all the same height uses the same technique of sog but with one plant. Hence the words single plant in the title
FYI to all you CFL growers....Home Depot has a CFL that pushes 300 watts...but only drains 67. It cost $15 for the bulb. The "bulb" itself is huge...about 5 times a regular one. Fits into whatever lamp you are using now. I bought 3 for clones, seedlings and veging while I wait for HPS room to finish.
hi i run 1 duel 300 watt and 1 125 watt cfl 9u and after a month itlooks more like a 7 week old plant with nodes all over thank fuck i ditched my ols expensive hps system as i have the same results ,shame i live in scotland as if i put on here i will have a copper at my door within a week but will put up when ready for harvest-promise
how long did you veg for 10 weeks? You times that by 5 and sit each one under a 400w hps and you could have enough bud for yourself for an entire year. Excellent work man, looks like you just love plants like myself.
not a bad grow but can be better. and cfl is a good light to grow with if you know what your doing. i been using cfl for years from germination all the way to flowering. my minimum yield off one plant is bout 30 grams dried. veg for bout 5-6 weeks. top after the 5th budding node for indica:) enjoi
@cquesada22 Low Stress Training like when you tie a plant down to get light on the side branches instead of topping it off or using another method that could possibly throw the plant into shock
pretty decent for a CFL grow. Just a suggestion from an experienced farmer (that had a few CFL runs)... put them CFL's RIGHT on top of the plant. Leave about 3-5 inches between the bulbs and the canopy of the plant. It wont burn the plants, you can have the bulbs almost touching when you use CFL's. Try that next time and you will have a bigger yield for sure. Be safe- EX TeamGreen
use alot of cfls mr greenthumb so you can put them all around and get equal growth. cfls dont put out enough to grow the plant all around unless you have cfls all over. and ive never seen a 300W cfl a 65 is big enought its like fuckin 8 inches and 6 inches across i cant imagine what a 300 would look like. prolly wouldnt even fit. and it would b too much money a 65W is 18$
you can buy 105w cfl's (E27, not E40) on ebay that are the same size as the 65w you mention. both spectrums too, 2700k and 6400k. 16 or 17 pound sterling plus delivery.
why do i see so many peps useing a shit load of cfl when all you have to do is get some 300 watt cfl at the depo that way you want have to use all thoses light get some there great
Looks great. I go CFL too. For me I get very dence plants by using short fat hash plants 100% indica I also use much more light than you and end up with tight large buds. You have a good strain for low light. I'm suprised you got it t o be that thick. I wish you knew the strain. I go to aroud 30,000 lumens for 3 short plants. Veg is so thick you cant see past first canapi. I also keep topping until 1st week of flower. It grows so fast I only veg 1 week I will let a plant seed once in a while
The plants spread is nice. Is the reason you don't have the lights closer because of heat? You have to put those CFL's 2-3" away with a fan on them to really produce. Unless you want upward growth in veg. Take em up to 6" and the plant will stretch were you want it then bring them in when you want thick growth.
just so YOU know, hps lights are NOT more efficient than leds. a 600w hps light has a much higher (2x) lumen per watt ratio than cfl or led (600w hps = 90000 lumens = 150lumen per watt. 600w cfl = 42000 lumens = 70lumen per watt.) BUT, cfl and led are much closer to real light than hps so the usual lumens per watt rule does not apply. a 600w cfl or led WILL produce more weed than a 600w hps.
these are facts from "Questions to Jorge Cervantes" in the SoftSecrets paper. read it.
first off, efficiency is measured in lumens per watt...not light 'color' per watt.
second, you say the color of light is more useful to the plants.yes it is,for vegging,and that being the case that is why people use Metal halide lamps,at 125 lumens per watt.
mh+hps=all the light your plants need.
mh for vegging,hps for flowering.
the only reason people are using leds and cfls is they think LED=efficient because thats the new technology.or CFLs=cheap and efficient. cuz they dont know any better
technically speaking, true efficiency is measured in grams per watt. if you're using hps or mh, you have to factor in extraction which, if you have a substantial grow room, can and will result in a much higher electricity bill. also, due to the excessive heat, you will use more water, which, if you have it already mixed with nutes in a resevoir for a hydroponic grow, will result in more expense. a 600w led will GROW MORE and COST LESS than a 600w hps or mh.
actually...a 600 watt cfl or led will not produce more weed than a 600 watt hps...even tho the type of light isnt just right what the plant wants,a 600 watt hps produces 90000(95 to 110K depending on bulb)lumens.They dont even make a led light that gets near that.Cfl bud grows come out "Fluffy" and so do led.A cfl bud th same size as a hps bud will way significantly less.and as for the light the plant takes in the newest hps bulbs are pretty close to exactly what the plant wants. try a CMH bulb
i had a hps and a cfl/led grow at the same time. both rooms growing clones from the same mother. both using same nutes but from separate tanks. 600w son t plus agro bulb on 1 side and 2x250w 8u cfls and 2x 56w super harvest led panels on the other. (this side has 12 watts extra power but its basically the same). at the end, factoring in ALL respective expenses, the cfl/led side was more efficient, more weight, less cost. 36grams extra@ 47 cent per gram cheaper to produce. i had 778gm in total
wow man thanks thats some hard info to find you know you must be a fuckin rocket scientist or somethhing how about instead of talkin shit about someone elses stuff you worry about yours its fuckin ridiculous when people like you post some of the most readily available info thats all over the net and think you sound smart you sound like a jack ass so go ahead and enjoy a fat bong rip of some cock because thats the only home grown you will ever get in your mouth :)
thats true man. I have a 300w duel spec CFL light and can keep in around 6inch from the top of my plant. Its much safer and cheaper to run than MH or HPS.

The plants spread is nice. Is the reason you don't have the lights closer because of heat? You have to put those CFL's 2-3" away with a fan on them to really produce. Unless you want upward growth in veg. Take em up to 6" and the plant will stretch were you want it then bring them in when you want thick growth.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
just so every one knows, high pressure sodium lights(HPS) are 2 to 3 times more efficient than CFLs and LEDs!
LEDs and CFLs are a waist of time and money!!
lmao.
go to my video and read what im talking bout
sirchristhegreat 2 years ago
just so YOU know, hps lights are NOT more efficient than leds. a 600w hps light has a much higher (2x) lumen per watt ratio than cfl or led (600w hps = 90000 lumens = 150lumen per watt. 600w cfl = 42000 lumens = 70lumen per watt.) BUT, cfl and led are much closer to real light than hps so the usual lumens per watt rule does not apply. a 600w cfl or led WILL produce more weed than a 600w hps.
these are facts from "Questions to Jorge Cervantes" in the SoftSecrets paper. read it.

first off, efficiency is measured in lumens per watt...not light 'color' per watt.
second, you say the color of light is more useful to the plants.yes it is,for vegging,and that being the case that is why people use Metal halide lamps,at 125 lumens per watt.
mh+hps=all the light your plants need.
mh for vegging,hps for flowering.
the only reason people are using leds and cfls is they think LED=efficient because thats the new technology.or CFLs=cheap and efficient. cuz they dont know any better
sirchristhegreat 2 years ago 2
technically speaking, true efficiency is measured in grams per watt. if you're using hps or mh, you have to factor in extraction which, if you have a substantial grow room, can and will result in a much higher electricity bill. also, due to the excessive heat, you will use more water, which, if you have it already mixed with nutes in a resevoir for a hydroponic grow, will result in more expense. a 600w led will GROW MORE and COST LESS than a 600w hps or mh.

@clutchoconnor for real this dude got lumens and wattage fucked up
scarecrow420 2 years ago
actually...a 600 watt cfl or led will not produce more weed than a 600 watt hps...even tho the type of light isnt just right what the plant wants,a 600 watt hps produces 90000(95 to 110K depending on bulb)lumens.They dont even make a led light that gets near that.Cfl bud grows come out "Fluffy" and so do led.A cfl bud th same size as a hps bud will way significantly less.and as for the light the plant takes in the newest hps bulbs are pretty close to exactly what the plant wants. try a CMH bulb

i had a hps and a cfl/led grow at the same time. both rooms growing clones from the same mother. both using same nutes but from separate tanks. 600w son t plus agro bulb on 1 side and 2x250w 8u cfls and 2x 56w super harvest led panels on the other. (this side has 12 watts extra power but its basically the same). at the end, factoring in ALL respective expenses, the cfl/led side was more efficient, more weight, less cost. 36grams extra@ 47 cent per gram cheaper to produce. i had 778gm in total

wow man thanks thats some hard info to find you know you must be a fuckin rocket scientist or somethhing how about instead of talkin shit about someone elses stuff you worry about yours its fuckin ridiculous when people like you post some of the most readily available info thats all over the net and think you sound smart you sound like a jack ass so go ahead and enjoy a fat bong rip of some cock because thats the only home grown you will ever get in your mouth :)

CFL's are not a waiste of time and money considering im growing two plants just fine with them and hasnt cost me a penny.

you could yield more with putting the lights closer

thats true man. I have a 300w duel spec CFL light and can keep in around 6inch from the top of my plant. Its much safer and cheaper to run than MH or HPS.

@robtang10304 Yeah, not to mention pretty much invisible to FLIR and doesnt show up on the electricity bill much at all.
