Haha thanks, man. Have resorted to just leaving the cab door open for the time being. Thank god stealth isn't a concern at this point or I would probably scrap the whole thing and put these babies outside.
Day five of 12/12 now, no sign of preflowers as of yet. I did make a huge mistake last dark period; I left the lights on inthe closet, pretty much a great way to negate 12/12... Closet is light proof, cab is not.
My one clone refuses to die: thought I lost her yesterday but today when the lights came on she was standing up straight as ever. Cloning method was cut from plant, dip in molasses, and put in peat pod. For a humidity dome I use a plastic bag with a bit of a tint (to negate some of the HPS). I blow into the bag for humidity haha. Again, not expecting this to work but if it does you can all go to hell with your bubble cloners and root hormones haha

Lol. I learned to clone like riding a bike. I was doing it before I realized, was much easier than paranoia suggested and I just replicated the baby steps until it was quickly natural.
I don't think you'll have noticeable stress from a single botched light cycle. Multiple might be a different story. I think I messed up and left the lights on last grow. Only happened once and I couldn't tell the difference.

hello, i posted here before but forgot my user id and pass. so i made a new one account. anyway , i wanted to order a replacement for my 150 w bulb just in case the one i have goes out.
i'm looking at two lights, they look the same but i didnt want to assume and order the wrong one. one of them is mogul base clear , the other is medium base clear. can anyone tell me the difference.

Same light I got for my 150w HPS. The Sun System 150w HPS uses a MOGUL base which is the larger of the two. The base is the metal part on the end with threads on it that screws into the socket. Get the mogul based bulb and you will be good to go!
Those are decent bulbs. Cheap enough to change them out every six months or year (or month for $5.50 a pop).
They are all I use in 150hps.

Let me know what you guys think very simple set up, using PureBlendPro and a bit of molasses every other watering. Any advice? Constructive Criticism welcome!!

No criticisms here. Looks like you damn near got er done.
Don't get too anxious. Let it ripen nice. BG can swell up pretty good at the end.
If you are considering flushing at the last weeks, I find BG takes a good bit more to flush than others do. I like to start them at least three weeks before harvest on plain water.
Nice job!

THX guys! And in certainly anxious Smoking Grinder kief at the moment!! Any Ideas what i could look for yield. My space is about 11inch deep and 23inch wide with the tops about 4Inches away from the light. DO you guys think they will swell up much more or do any more stretching? Im hoping the canopy will even out more.
They will fatten up, unless you chop them off.
Be patient, grasshoppah...

nice looking ladies justDoinme!!
here's some pics of my TW at day 4 of bloom..
looks like a jungle! scrog seems like such a mean thing to do to such a beautiful plant...there are 21 bud sites though!!If anyone is wondering, the 150 watt HPS is above the other T5's..
thanks everyone for your excellent help..
I will keep you all posted...I have a thread going so I don't clog up this one!!!
take care

Look good, BC.
If I may...if it were me, (lol..I realize it's not so don't take offense) I would go back to veg and fill up my screen. You have the resources there to put out about twice the bud you are getting ready to have.
You could allow the screen to get much fuller before flowering. If I had come this far, I would allow it to give me all it could.
At only 4 days of flower, it hasn't had a chance for the hormones to cause flower yet, and you could simply go back to veg with no adverse results at all. It won't even stall one bit with no more dark time that it has had.
Again, if it were me, I would untie the branches. Not really a reason to tie them, at least not this early. Let them go where they want to and keep pushing them under the wires. There will be branches that will find the bare spots you left. Just let her do her thing.
While it's filling in, the roots are also gaining ground and heft, allowing a much better bud and more yield.
No harm in flowering them now, it just seems a waste to be set up for more bud and not take advantage of it.

Hey all,
What sites do you guys suggest for getting seeds? I don't know which are safest, cheapest, etc..
Appreciate the help,
-Rek
EDIT: Also, if you have any suggestions I'd be glad to hear 'em! I'm looking for some kind of indica/sat mix with a unique smell/taste. Thanks again
