irie - it will probably work as long as it has all three wires (white, black, and ground)

igrowdadankest - congratulations on the girl :joint: She was the best looking too - very branchy - I would try and train her a bit to take full advantage of that side growth - taking that main branch and bending it over gently will give those side branches more light and the result will be a bunch of nice buds instead of one.

smokehouse1 - nice colors on those buds - what strain is that? and was it grown under a 150?

yep grown under the ole 150, some good bagseed didnt take any clone sinces she was an experiment with 12/12, but will try to reveg. her though.ill put up some more pics soon as im done with quite time.

as promised







this girls likes topping herself less work for me




the next group to flower, all bagseed grown under 125watt cfl for about 2 weeks and then moved under the 150watt hps
 
Hello everyone my oldest plant is doing very good I added some fresh FFOF(an inch)to the grow bag and watered all three.Hey suga-bear I dont really know how to tie it down since I am using a grow bag would I just tape the string to the wall?At what node should I bend it and what are the chances of it snapping the main stem is pretty strong now.Also I have nowere to put a male if I happen to have one and I want more HB seeds so I am just going to leave it in there my question is what can you use to kill of all the pollen that will remain in the box and in the room the box is in?Here is a pic of the overall space.

Have a nice day everyone.

nice pics everyone, heres some of mine. just some bagseed i cloned, veged for a month then 12/12 under 208w of cfls. now it has the 150hps too for side lights untill i get them all mounted. today is day 35 for them, nutes are FF tiger bloom and molasses 1tbsp each per gallon. topped and lst'd to make 15+ colas per plant plus popcorn, i got 2 of them at the moment :rasta:

igrowdadankest : if you got a big enough rubberband wrap it around your grow bag(halfway up/down) and tie your string to the rubberband. to tie down just go lil by lil and start after a good watering to prevent snapping. i dont go by node amount just how my plant is growing, and try to level it out. not sure on the male and pollen, hmmm maybe a small rubbermaid or milk crates as a male flowering box.



 
Hey thanks for the info Irie.I tied it down abit the way you told me too it wored out great.I was so nervous doing it my whole body was havin muscle tremors,scary stuff.Anyway's here is some pic's I took thanks again for the help.

irie and igrowdadankest nice work on the LST of that hashberry :yes:

as for the male pollen - water kills pollen - but with that said a male left in the garden is likely to dump a very large quantity of pollen which will get in things like your fan and filters that you may not want/be able to spray down with water.

Two options...

What I have done in the past is when the male has developed balls but they have not yet opened - trim back excess growth leaving a single cluster of male flowers (you may not need to) and put it in a dark closet - even without light it will continue to mature it's male pods and in a few days you can take some of the pollen on a que tip or paint brush or even your finger and pollinate your female - just a little bit of pollen on the early flowers around 3-4 weeks into flower will give you plenty (50 or more) of seeds for next round. After that point you don't want to continue to pollinate your female so you can axe the male. Seeds take 30 days to develop so pollinating early allows some mature seeds in your mostly sensi crop.

Alternately you can look up JLP's isolation chamber which uses a rubbermaid tub some air filter material and a computer fan to isolate the male in the grow room.

Yo. :redface:


May i join to this fantastic club? (;
I`m building a stealthcabinet and decided to go for 150w. I`m gonna put it in the box with cooltube.
The proplem is.....that i dont know what kind of ventilation i should buy, the mission is that there should not be any smell and sound should be as low as possible. I`m thinking of these:

http://www.indoorgardens.fr/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25_48&products_id=720
http://www.indoorgardens.fr/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25_49&products_id=112
How about a silencer? Would it be just a waste of money or good deal?

You people have some amazing plants, just beatifull. :)


peace.

I'm wondering if it might be alright to just have my remote ballast sitting on my wooden cabinet, and cooled with metal funnel like thing, off a "clamp light", over it which then ducted to a fan and out the closet door. I'm concerned about the heat as well as the hum. I have a project box and got some hose clamps to attach the ballast to it, but maybe I don't need to do that if it's not gonna get too hot. But maybe that hose clamp idea will keep the hum to a minimum. Watchya think?

qdavid- Hey man, you know the brand or model # of that $59 cab? I looked at the store and their online site and couldn't find anything even close.
 
Hey everyone did some more lst'ing to my oldest and gave it a feeding.I fead it half a ml of florabloom & half ml of floramicro.It greened up abit too.





I seem to have some problems.I think it is Spider mites or Light burn.



Here are the little ones they still have yet to show sex.They seem to have started growing somewhat faster since yesterday.



Ofcourse a pic of the whole box.I am ordering some SQ.Satori,the Safari mix and I will be getting some freebies I am geting them on seedbay. :jump:
