lookin awesome! I'm going to hopefully start microgrowing soon and I had a few questions.
what spectrum lights are you using for veg and flower?
if you control plant size with the pot size how do you decide how long to veg and flower?
5.4ft^2 boxes? do you know what the volume of one is? I'm trying to figure out a good watts/ft^3 ratio.

hey doc, i was wonderin, whats the max amount of light you'd put over 2 square feet? 2'x1'x18"
Thanks for the info doc. I'm planning to build my box next week. Looking at a 3x2 footprint.. thinking 30" tall.. also thinking 9 bulbs (5 across the back, 2 on each side), most likely 42w each.. Think that will work or is that too little light for that size? I can go smaller but really don't want to get any more than 9 or 10 lights. Also, do you raise your plants at all to get them closer to the lights? I've read that they need to be close to be real effective but it appears you are not going that route. Was wondering if I need to worry with building a movable light system or if it would be fine just putting them in place and letting the plants do their thing. I'm going to be running some Snow White and Northern Bright (first time with these strains) and guess I'll probably have to go through a couple of grows to get it all figured out just right..
btw, I realize you get a lot of questions and just wanted to say I (we) appreciate the time you take out of your day to answer and provide usefull information!
Ahhhh yea I'm in the house!!! Most may know me as Thundurkel from IC but I'm MisturBombDiggity aka Professor Nugs everywhere esle.. Whats DrBud!!!!! so glad we have our own spot for us micro enthusiasts![]()
YEEHAH
found you again been looking on the "other site " for clues and they were there for all to see Thanks HEMPY
As a newby to growing been smoking for a couple of decades+ though
Your method is somthing I will aspire to
on my first grow ever started before I saw the light, been gaining lots of info, the main thing is to throw the high wattage/cost rulebook out the window and open the mind to other methods
My first grow has already produced my first mother through cloning and she and her sporn will be the basis for my "drbud" style grow
Thanks and can we please stay here I like this place
message to haters you got a site that is happy to have you leave us in peace we dont need you![]()
Dr. Bud is awesome no doubt. I really would like to know his thoughts on Scrog as well. If he were to do a scrog, would the yield be that much different?
The reason I ask is because SOG and Scrog are probably the most popular techniques for micro growers with CFL.
Nice. I can't wait to see you getting 1 continuous bud out of those plantlets. Good work man, keep posting.
