Woah, took me a while to find my thread, haven't checked in for about 2 days, been having things pretty rough at home...
Anyways, No, Im not cloning from plants outside, what I was saying is, I planted 2 plants about 3-4 months ago, I planted one outside, one inside, both in the same soil, now at the beggining of this thread there was a problem with a plant, coming out kinda deformed, well, that plant is now doing better, and flowering, better, than the plant I had in my closet...
My plan for this crop is to use femmed seeds again (Northern Lights)
I germed 3 seeds.
All three popped out and gave me the taproot, I just put them all in peatmoss about an hour ago.
Now, I currently have them under about 50 watts (T5 bulbs),
I was kinda curious about what kinda of bulbs my ballast/hood can take.
Since I do have a mogul base, I was wondering if I would be able to place a 200 watt CFL bulb where a MH/HPS bulb would go.
Is it possible to run CFL off of a digital ballast? or is that a no-no?
(Also, my ballast is for 600 watts, can I purchase a 400 watt MH, and still have it work with a 600 watt digital ballast, or does it HAVE to be 600 watt MH?)
I'm gonna go get this bulbs tomorrow morning, so , if anyone knows, Id appreciate it.
As for everything turning into a social thread, personally, I don't have a problem with it as long as it doesn't turn into a big ol bitch fit of a thread. As , some people already seem to be throwing dumb ass posts around.
Not to mention Names or anything.... But I really don't think arguing is helping anyone out here. (Not trying to be a dick, but come on guys, its a thread online, really is there a need to be hostile? If people are talking shit to you, and all you're doing is trying to give advice, or get some help, just ignore it)
" 2010-2011 Community Growing advice, tips, tricks, & experiences "(feel free to keep it the same, edit that one, or do what ever is best for the description of the thread)
works well for me...hah, I don't like the word journal, kinda throws me off a bit, as I never came with the intention of making a journal, just wanted to get advice and post pics of my plant to see if people can diagnose problems I can't and to see healthy progress when its happening...(though if you wanna put journal , I would assume thats fine, I'm not a mod ;-) )
-edit-
Might have had some confusion about the clones I have and what not.
I started two mother Northern Lights Plants.
One indoor, One outdoor.
The plant outdoor started looking pretty bad so I put my focus on my indoor Northern Lights,
I cloned from my indoor, and waited for them to root, once they took root, I planted them outside, they did fine for a week, but my dogs got into my garden and ripped the two clones out (so only 1 Mother was left , outdoors)
Within the last two weeks, I purchased 2 clones. Both Purple Power Plant., I was going to grow them indoors, but just decided to throw them outdoors as the guy who sold them to me (my uncle), didn't think it would be worth mentioning that the plants were cloned from an outdoor mother, well, needless to say, My plants had aphids, mites.
So, I put them out doors, went and bought about 200 lady bugs, and let them go crazy, haha, well.
Bugs aren't too bad outdoors anymore right now...
(Curious Papasomni, Are bugs more prominent as a problem in Cold weather or warm, Im thinking warm, Im not sure because I would think during the warm weather , the bugs thrive, but during the cold, they are all gonna be looking for a warm place to hide at night, and I would assume thats probably going to be my closet, I saw a few bug traps and things at a few stores, should I pick a few of them up just to be on the safe side?)
I will be cloning the Northern Lights that are currently in the peatmoss when they are ready to have clones taken from them.
I will be growing 4 plants most likely. Hopefully germ and get them to pop out with a 200 watt CFL, Veg with a 400 watt MH, and flower with 600 watt HPS.
As for what strains I plan on using, well, I've got most of that settled out, It's probably going to be Northern Lights for the most part, with an occasional Indica Dominant strain other than NL in there, and maybe the occasional Indica/Sativa cross.
Thanks for all the help guys, greatly appreciated.
