J.C GROWER: Gardens looking good. Love the sunsystem same light i got :) Thos cfls will for sure help with adding some extra lighting in there. What i would recommend is getting that 150 a little bit lower then what you have it at now. Keep the stretch minimal while there in veg and also when you flip to 12/12. but other then that there looking good man! KEEP UP THAT GOOD WORK BOTHER! SUCCESS IS ALL I SEE!

Have Fun Be BLUNTED!

Disco i was wondering if you think this area is too big for a 150 hps, im not quite sure of the dimensions but i think theyre about 3'x2'x5'
heres a couple of pics to show the space. im going to add 4 X 100 watt CFLS, on each side of the hps, in order to create a broader light span. is this a good idea?:thank you:

I wouldn't say it's too big. 50 wpsf is std but not necessarily required. It helps if the bulb element is parallel with the short walls of the cab.

How big is your fan?

End of week two was monday, pics to come later today.

I'm giving the 12-1 lighting schedule a try, and see what happens...

How much supercropping is okay to do at once? I have about 10 or so good branches, I cropped about 4 of them. Will I be okay, stress wise? Lst is in heavy use as well

You should be fine w/the super cropping. Just wait 5-7 days to do any more. :ying:

i believe i have a 10 inch fan, i want to get another, but at the moment there is no money :(. haha once i get the money ill probly get a clippable 8 inch fan to go on top, facing down at the ladies.
good idea?

12on-5.5off-1on-5.5off. Makes for faster growth, and tighter node spacing. Read a good artice, so I figures I'd give it a try

is it possible to get a one once cola or bigger with 150w hps?

:rasta:
Anything is possible, some things just take a bit more effort and planning.

Not quite an ounce, but then there were other buds on the plant........




With pampering, planning, and proper pruning, what you seek is within reach.

In my experience when you eliminate lower branching just up to the top internoding section or close to, more of the plants effort will be put into top cola production.

@ WILLY: Garden is rocking for sure man! got some nice colas in there. Looks like you got some nice smoke coming up soon. Def let us know how they all smoke!

@ E_24: Ladies are looking real nice man! Gonna be a nice bush with some stackin colas for sure!

@ J.C. GROWER: Looking nice now. The ladies will appreciate the lights being closer to them so they dont have to stretch for the light. The LST is coming out nice for ya and the ladies seem to be taking a liking to it. If you wanna get the lower internodal growth to catch up to the main top just simple FIM her. Cut the new upper growth in half but dont fully top her. Thought that might help you out a bit. I have uploaded a pic of what the FIM should looking like so you get a better visual.

@ DARKVADE: what MagicChef said.

@ PIPE DREAM: Damn brother! nice looking cola for sure and she is stackin. The D.A.R.E. ruler made that pic all that much better to look at :tiphat: good work for sure man.

Heres the FIM pic for you J.C.

willy did you flower them from seed or how tall where they before you flowered them ? Also to anyone who knows i was kinda wondering if you do 12/12 from seed does this make a 8 week strain take longer then 8 weeks . if so do i give them flowering nutes from seed or how do you estimate when to add certain nutrients like big bud over drive and other specific flower enhancers?thanks:dance013:
