Yeah, 95 days of 12/12 flower. They vegged for about 35 days I think. SD takes a long time to properly finish. The large one in the shot could have went another week or so probably, but I also had some Sour Bubble x SD that was finished just at 95 days so I brought em all down..save for the f13xhaze that I will let finish I think. Looks like another week or three for sure on it.
Yeah, patience...it's a must for this gig. IMO all the trippy week takes a good while to finish. :)

:wave: New around here. WOW! Love this thread! :ying: Can't imagine I'll ever read all (nearly) 600 pages of it, but it's nice to know there are so many others that grow in the same manor as me and use the same size bulb. :good: I can see I've got lots to read and learn. I'm really intrigued by this concept of haning the bulb vertically! :yes: I can see how you can greatly improve how much area is covered which would increase your out put. Can this be done with any bulb?
Several years ago a close personal friend set me up w/a 150 watt bulb in a corner of a closet and showed me the basics before he moved away. I have no idea what kind (brand) of light it is. He ordered it on line, tore it apart, and mounted it in a foil turkey roasting pan LOL.
I've made a few mistakes since, and learned a few things by trial and error, but it's nice to have found some place where I can reap the benifits of others experience. :dance013:

hEY thats a nice grow you got there also i havent used much higher than the 150w id love to some day but just havent upgraded yet. Before im done growin my goal is to grow a Khola the size of a small chrismas tree lol but that will have to be next time cause this time my plant has 3 tops if they each got the size of a fat beer can and as tall as a 2 liter id be impressed.:peacock:

Those look green and healthy, jaksa8. Should be nice when done. Word of advise...its a fair bit wiser to use the photo gallery that is provided here. Just sayin... :)

Here are some shots of some SDxSD, 150HPS vertical

Thanks man. Actually I try to keep em green as possible for as long as possible. I stick wit veg nutes(photo strains) 3-4 weeks into 12/12 and then start workin in bloom in increasing ratios w/veg. Like half n half for weeks 5-7 then one or 2 bloom only. Still figurin these autos out..think ima hit em harder next time I hate all the yellow crusty leaves lol

Mite just be built into auto genetics to yellow and die after a certain amount of time just like they flower after a certain time(17 days-ish) regardless of light cycle, more so than photos :dunno: Anyway enough ramblin

peace

I had a mad stretch problem last run, so what I did was leave her in complete darkness for 72 hours. There is practically no stretch, and now I'm wishing I had not done the total darkness from veg to flower. My soil may be to blame though. I got it at a local nursery, called ednas best. I later found its ph buffered, so the ph is always at 6. Last run, I used happyfrog with great results, but this run, I wanted to try somethin that was a little more airy. It did great in veg, but once I did the switch, I have no stretch.

Whats up mofos, thought I'd drop in with a few pics..

Sugar Mango Ryder all dry and ready for weigh in


22.1g dry but I threw a buncha popcorn in the hash pile. Probably coulda got to a Z if I had counted the fluff. Small yeild be damned, this is definately the best tastin smoke I've grown so far and top 5 shit I've ever smoked in general. I see why they call it sugar mango...real fruity sweet taste on inhale and exhale. Would call it a pretty even sativa/indica high even though I chopped with STILL NO AMBER, FUCK! Let this auto go 10 weeks(from seed) and still no amber. Swear I've only seen like 5 amber trichs my whole time growin. I dunno WTF is goin on..I'm impatient but damn I would think 12.5 weeks(photo bag) and 10(auto) would be enough. Just need to research and try more strains to find the true fast finishers...:dunno:


-end ramble. Stay safe and green everbody.:smoker:

PS- Where the hell is everybody? Slow in here lately
