Serious Seventy Watts

[SeriousNerd]

Thanks sandman, have a seat and enjoy the show!

Things are going smoothly in my garden. Today is day 58. From day 49 to day 56 (so during the 7th week) I have been feeding coco a/b 1ml/1ml + PK 1ml + Bloom Stimulator 1ml. Now I'm back to feeding a/b 1ml/1ml - 2ml/2ml + bloom 1ml, depending on what I feel the plants need at the moment. The buds are still packing on weight, it's awesome.

Estimated harvest time: day 73.

Just a few more days! The day before yesterday was the last feeding day - just straight water from then on.

And of course I had to take a sample from the Thai-Tanic for scientific reasons

They look mighty tasty. Nice work for a 70watt. Way to represent. How was the sample?

I really enjoyed reading this thread. Great growing skills man. It's threads like these that I enjoy, where a grower has made it work out of limited space/lighting. Do 70watt HPS screw into regular sockets? If so, is it possible to get a light socket splitter and run 140 watts together, in the way that CFL growers have their lights?

Peace

AcroPhobic: Thanks! The sample was nice - the high was similar to the SSH. I alternated between intro- and extroversion. It was fun! Of course it's even nicer now that it's spent a few days in a glass

tetragrammaton: Thanks for the kind words! There's still room for improvement, but even with my imperfect setup I can harvest more than enough with 2 grows a year.
I think your question regarding the bulbs comes down to whether one can run two bulbs off a single ballast. I don't know - perhaps someone more knowledgeable can chime in with the answer.

So I harvested at 70 days! Unfortunately, there was a bit of light/heat stress to some of the top buds. It wasn't too bad though.

I weighed after a few days of drying, before putting them in the jars. It was ~30g per plant, which is very nice! I didn't do a perfect trim job, and they were still a bit wet, so I guess a dry 50g is a reasonable estimate. I'll post some dry pics when I get around to it!

Thanks a lot for watching, I'm glad I didn't screw up too badly this time

This is sweet, I didn't think it was possible to grow anything that looks like that under anything smaller than a 400. Props
