Updates a day early this week...

Updates a day early this week...

Chamber 1&2:

Chamber 1: Recently traded a Qukerle for a Purple Power plant Pictured in rockwool/hydroton
Chamber 2: Lost "The Purps" thing just went too dry i suspect and taking its place
is the mystery plant I got for free a week ago...

Chamber 3: 3 weeks into flower (JTR, HKxSK, Sensi)

This room is looking short and bushy for the most part (minus the JTR)

Chamber 4: 7 weeks flower (JTR)

Canopy of my flower room makes me excited to see what throwing some Gravity
bud hardener into the mix earlier today will do...

For comparison on the left we have my current grow and on the right JTR at
seven weeks from my last grow which was flowered from clone;

After a 9 weeks I took down one of these JTRs (tried to find the one with the least amt of mass)
and shes dried and in the jar now. 22 grams for dry weight.

As of 2 days again i chopped my second of 6 and its hanging out to dry now.

JTRs have been flushed just over a week now.

Going by above lets say my plants average 20gx6plants= 120 grams

120/28= just over 4 oz!

What happened to this grow have i missed something? Was just getting good and then no more updates. Why do threads just go dead on this site for no reason. Are they getting caught or what!??

Skunkyuk peopel stopped coming by the thread things are great!!

since you requested i am going to include a couple updates over the next week
because its harvest time again!!!!!

I have never been caught growing, i find that i have been able to do so because
of my control over smell and more importantly my ability to keep my mouth shut!

Internet helps ALOT for the latter...

UPDATES!!!!

UPDATES!!!!

Sorry for the long gap, been busy and i used to take more pics but they are
beginning to fill up my harddrive (id make them smaller but then they suck)


Chamber 1: (currently I havent been making my own clones so i havent been using)



Chamber 2: Vegetative Room
Its a jungle in the small 18"sq vegetative closet as 8 clones share the
restricted 200 watt cfl light run 24 hours a day...

In front in red solo cups are my blueberry clones new to my closet, then from
left to right (some in back) I have ChemDog, Querkle, GodsGift, Purple Erkle,
GDP and Bubba Kush! I have my hands full right now and def genetics that I
will be cloning soon.



Chamber 3: Early Flowering
6 (3 diff strains) clones veg for 4 weeks and currently flowering about 4 weeks.

On the left 2 plants a neighbor gave me, middle Casey Jones, right ShivaSkunk.



Chamber 4: Late Flower/Maturation
Still Flowering under a 150w, here are a couple just finishing up...

1x Qerkle Plant Preharvest... Click the one on the left for a macro shot



1x GodsGift Plant Preharvest... Estimated 12g-16g dry



2x HinduKushxSkunk#1 Plants @ 8 weeks gonna let these babies fill out a bit more!



2x BigBuddhaCheese @ 8 weeks and still goin, i have to say this plant is not
really filling out as much as i would have preferred and has a strange odor...

Within the next week... My Vegetative plants will move to Early Flowering and
my Early FLowering plants will move on to Late Flowering and obviously the
Late Flowring plants I will harvest... thus completing another cycle.

Def gonna take some cuts of the vareity i have in the Veg room and clone
them in the Cloning chamber with a DWC cloner... and ween out the weaklings!

For this harvest Estimated totals
-------------------------------
Nutrients - 27
Electric - 45
Clones - 60 (ripoff!)
-------------------------------
Total -132

Yield (again ESTIMATES)
6 plants at an avg of 14g a plant =
6 * 14(g) = 3oz dry weight

If these figures are correct I paid...
$132 / 3oz = $43/oz for some premium smoke!

Run this figures again if I were smart and made my own clones...
$132 - $60(for clones) = $72 new monthly expense

With new monthly expense...
$72 / 3oz = $24/oz of some premium smoke

Not bad not bad! Nice looking plants, you top them or just train?

Love to see different micro grows and this caught my eye coz its a bit different. Must say though thought them buds would have really filled out more under the hps. Might be worth upping to a 250 or adding some cheap cfl's in the final chamber? Still though for 24$ an oz is cracking keep it going and dont forget the final pics and dry weight it will be interesting!:joint:

Micro grows are the shit no doubt!

upgrades

upgrades

Pending are about 50 job applications for a better job so i can afford the 228
dollar upgrade needed to basically triple my yield (purchase of 400w) though
my setup is small, its cieling is made of wood...

The plan: get a 400w HPS ballast all enclusive from Hydrofarm w/ glass... make
the small modifications needed to mount 4" ducting then simply cut a hole for my
HPS so i can mount it on top of my chamber and viola not only increase
the height of my final flower room but also keep the hood and ballast mounted
just on top (outside) my grow chamber... the killer about it this minor upgrade
barely raises my power bill (especially with new energy star rated fans i have)
@50 a month for electricity and 3oz (month avg) going up to about 8oz (month
avg) 27(nutes)+50(electric)=77monthly cost / 8oz roughly = 10 an oz (goal)

But surplus cant hang around and will be disbursed to patients who are close
friends and need it for medicinal purposes, maybe for some help with that
power bill thus making a $10.00/oz int a $FR.EE/oz!

To answer your original questions i didnt top them but i love to supercrop my plants
under my HPS in a manner that can only be described as "laying my nugs under the HPS to tan!

Stopped by your grow im a big fan of the church also and i am just about to reintroduce it to my
rotation as well, I also recommend HinduSkunk, higher yield, less purple, great taste, and strong

Cheers that might be in my next grow if im lucky like the sound of it will check it out. Church is cracking! Love the smell too its very nice and strong.

The 400w hps sounds like a good idea will be good to see the results under that wopper! doubt you will be dissapointed put it that way!

Its fucking brilliant looking back haha to the days when i used to pay 20 pounds for 3g of OK weed now pay 20 quid for a whole plant of great shit i love it haha

Good luck on the 400! Cheers

Thinking of upgrading to a 400w?

Thinking of upgrading to a 400w?

Still no new thread... but I still wanted to share some updates.

The 400w is overkill and i really should be running MORE plants; however, it has maximized my yields in my small space to where it yields a steady oz a week! Temps were a little tricky to control at first but now they run at 2 degrees over the outside temperature (temp taken from directly below glass in the center!)

The following are some shots of a recent run i did in my small closet with chemDawg:


Some Trichs, but this was chopped at 12 weeks; didnt want to finish!


HiLiter size reference both plants; Possible answer to my spidermite problem?


The prize of the harvest, both pics are same bud, looks to be just under 1/2oz

Some thoughts... I have changed my flowering rooms to a single room by breaking down the middle wall, early flowering plants get a taste of HPS while their stretch is controlled by CFLS! I have also fitted a box fan which takes up and entire corner that keeps all my plants constantly swaying (the plants just being introduced to flowering are placed DIRECTLY in front of this mostrous air mover to promote thicker stem developement which also leads to more stretch control and later on... thicker buds!)
