Bongalot 17 Report post Posted May 23, 2018 Hellooooo Folk's Oh yes peeps, the mad scientist is alive and still kicking Hard to believe but it has been 9 freakin years since my last post... huge changes in my career took my all over the world where I searched for and enjoyed a whole lot of mary jane and all her sister's as well in my travels, met some very weird and wonderful people in the process, but in the end i am back in my motherland, home sweet home! Yup, you guessed it, time to build a grow room, 3m wide x 5m deep x 4m high, going to need a lot of lighting power but that is not a problem at all peeps. this time i will be going with ultra high power CFL bulbs to help solve the age old cancer.... heating problems! ONE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH LIGHT RIGHT? Well let us find out then folks, current experiments yielded much more impressive results than the older high pressure sodium or metal halide bulbs, i can fit a lot more power per square inch and not have serious cooling issues. Good to be back opengrow, looking forward to meet all the new folks! Cheers Yall, Bongalot. PS! can someone tell me if "Gargamel" is still lurking around? 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bongalot 17 Report post Posted August 17, 2018 Good day Folks! I am just going to post some pics of whats been under development lately and be back a little bit later to tell the story behind my return from the grave... Man it feels good to see these three girls doing great in the new box even if its not finished yet.... i missed growing like my long lost brother from another mother.... These three girls, a "cheese" of some sorts, a "Skywalker" and a "Kush" were given to me by a friend for testing the new grow room but i seriously doubt its the correct names for the strains... looking good anyways up to now, proper soils and watering along with all the required fertilizers made a huge difference. just hope they yield well under 2 x 400 watt HPS and 2 x 400w MH Airflow seems to be more than enough as temps inside my grow room is a nice constant 24 degrees Celsius during lights on and about 17 degrees Celsius with lights off. have not measures the humidity yet but has never had issues before so im hoping for the same results as the first grow room. Cheers yall, be back in a hour or so. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bongalot 17 Report post Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Hi Folks, Thank you Gardenartus. In the start of the thread i was talking about using high power CFL but old habits die hard I had lots of success using HPS and MH together for a broad light spectrum and had all my old stuff so just rebuilt some of the parts like the reflectors, wiring and a new sliding system for my the reflectors to hang from, i don't like growing tall plants but it was kinda too late for a scrog so i created a room that can handle both, next grow will definitely be a scrog so i can fit at least 8 plants inside. i guess now would be a good time to create a new thread in the correct section for this build and grow. To everyone i have not replied to yet, i will do so in my new thread and will return with the link shortly. Thanx a bunch for the warm welcome here at O.G. Happy growing folks, Bongalot. PS! Working as a management consultant for a large retail group has lots of perks but the best was the traveling abroad, the world is a weird but wonderful place.
