welcome to all the new folks - things are starting to feel like old times again :D

well my last crop went into jars last night and my guestimate is that i broke the 100 gram mark for the first time in my cab! i don't own a scale but last time i weighed a harves it was 90 grams and this one was at least 20 % more than that one

suga that's awesome, i hope my v-scrog can pull somewhere near 100 grams, it doesn't look like it will though, not as much awesomeness as your dwc!

i'm a total gadget nerd and i would go NUTS if i didn't have a digital scale to weigh my harvests.

hey suga! why don't you airmail your jars over and i'll weigh 'em for ya! uhh........i promise i won't smoke any.....:biglaugh:

anyways, this thread kicks ass lots of new peeps showing up and spreading love in the form of sweet pics! i haven't been here long but you guys make me feel at home :wave:

Fuck! I was posting my contribution to the 150 club, and then I previewed, then I pressed back annnnd... gone! Anyway, here's my 150w HPS grow. I usually don't post my grows because they're nothing spectacular, but I'm bored today...


Black Gold organic soil, with perlite
FF grow big so far.
Bagseed from a decent sack of herb.


Started off with three plants. This is about after about 20 days veg, second or third day of 12/12. Stretching a bit already???


A few days after that, woke up to 2 males, and one confirmed female.
Gave them the hack.



Now, I was hoping for 2 females. I would've bet my nuts that one of the males was female. Tighter nodes and bushier than the rest. But now I only have one... kind of dissappointing, but expected. This remaining plant was already a little LST'd, so I'm going for my first scrog.

After some bowls and getting stabbed with wire, I converted an old "wardrobe rack" to this:


Tied down the plant a little more, put it under the screen. Flipped the light back to 20/4. Hopefully won't have any problems with that. Note the potatos... fucking fungas gnats. Seeing if that works. Gotta get some of those sticky strips today.

My jack russell was trying to get down....

And here's a day later... looking a little better.


I'm pretty pissed that this plant's already stretched a bit, but I'll see what I can do and veg and train for as long as possible. I don't know how well this will do, specially since it's my first scrog. If it doesn't work out I'll probably just use this as a mother plant.

Later!


EDIT: SCRATCH all that. Came home today from a day of drinking at the park and found balls. That leaves me with... 0 plants. Fucking hermies and bagseeds. Never. A. Bagseed. Again.

Sug, Great harvest. I wish I could be with you to share a doobie in celebration. I guess I'm still stuck in the 60's and 70's. We always set our goals and measured our purchases in ounces not grams, and for the most part I still do. When I started growing, my goal was a QP. And keep in mind that back then a group of us would sit around and each smoke a whole doob and then ask each other "so, are you high, dude" and the answer was often "I think so" Now that the quality is so much better, a QP is a real accomplishment, and it looks as though you may have made it. Enjoy your success and the furit of your labor.

Holdin' sorry to hear about the bummer, and things were just starting to look really nice. I'm sure your pup will miss the plant as well. The only thing to do is start again. Remember, you're a member of the 150w HPS Club, and as such you have a responsibility to all of us to provide us with new pic's and entertainment in the form of success stories. Better luck next time around.

This will be my last post for a while. I'm off to the hospital tomorrow for my surgery, and then to a phys-rehab place for a short stay. Keep the posts coming so I can look forward to plenty to read when I make it back.

Warm regards to all & GROW SAFE!

pipedream ...we are from the same 'old school' . 4 of us used to chip in on an "ounce", roll up 2 joints per man, smoke them, then check to see whether everybody got off .
good luck with the surgery and re-hab !

Hey man thanks for the sympathy. I was really pissed because, right before I left my house I went out and bought a 5 gallon pot, new soil, some more perlite, bug strips for those damned gnats, and some SuperThrive for the transplant. Transplanted, left the house, got hammered at a buddies birthday party, came home, saw the hermie action and ripped that "bitch" out of the soil. I liked the bagseed pheno's that I got too... fast growing, smelled like coffee, very branchy. Oh well. I'm over the bagseeds. Ordered some AK48 about an hour later. I've got my wet paper towels waiting...

Hey guys. :wave:

First post on a new forum... how exciting!

Im curious as to how many plants a 150w HPS could support from seed to flower?

I only just came across this thread.

I'm wanting to set up a small personal grow and was thinking of getting a Homebox XS which is 60cm x 60cm x 120cm high.

I'd been thinking of using some 2' T5 tubes but maybe I should go with a 150W?

username - those buds are loooking really "hazy" as you would say, awesome job and only day 26 of flower? wow I bet you've got some good things to look forward to in the next 3-4 weeks :) Is it normal for the leaves to be so thin and kinda curly on that strain? or is that a heat/fert issue? anyways still looks damn good bro - good job!

artie - glad to hear operation c-22 is under way shh ;)

hey ...Spliff! - Welcome! I think you can grow up to 6 plants under a 150 in a staggered harvest, that is what pipedream did, he would have plants start out on the edge of the cabinet and get brought directly under the bulb as they finished - he'd have to give specifics but if you start plants around 2-4 weeks apart you could achieve this. 8 or more could be possible in a SOG setup with clones. I usually run 2 as that's the size of my cab but I did try 4 clones in two buckets and that worked out well and required zero veg time.

bongoman - I think a 150 would be ideal for that space. you could do a 4 plant vertical scrog in there and maximize yield.
