150w LOC x G13,jack herer x white rhino, MOD grow

[budvapor]

i hear you. i have a cramped space too. the latest i'm using is 1/2 gal grow bags instead of 16oz-cups. they take about the same footage but hold much more medium! i like that with grow bags you can sort of squeeze them together a bit. it's very space efficient. then i switch to 2-gal which take the same footage as a gallon pot but hold double the medium. anyway, check it out when you get a chance. they're dirt cheap too.

update

welcome welcome doobie!
justi finished the first 2 weeks of my feed schedule. now I up the M and B lower the G blah blah yall now the deal with GH nutes(sorry if ya dont). should i wait another week before adding in molasses? i added in during the last 6 weeks of my earlier outdoor grow but indoors diferent. I have 2 distinct phenos of the MOD, one is all greamgoddess, nice fat leaves, and the other is mostly dreamgoddess but the leaves arent as wide.

the jacks rhinos....man, tall bastards....i started to LST one as you can tell in the pic but it already out grew it. after this pic i re LSTd both of them to almost equal height to the MODs.

as far as my 3 swt#3s, 3 chem d/sour d, and 3 cherry bombs...none of the swt#3 germed, seeds just turned black.... all 3 chems up to my cfl already, as are 2 of the cherries, the other seed molded over, wtf...oh well, im plannin on vegging them one more week 24/0 and then into the box to see if it will help kill stretch, good idea? until next time.... oh yea, i found and harvested and outdoor plant, smells just like rotting fruit

 

[DoobieDuck]

Abird..I have my Menage going...see my signature...I'll see you here later...Dr. Duck.

 

[nuggetshiner]

Hey Abirdintheair, nice grow going. I'm sitting on some of MOD's Menage... I think a
few peeps are, Ill be watching. What I'm curious about is the ST#3, were those the
handpicked lot from seedbay? Germination can't get worse than that.

 

[abirdintheair]

ya, its no big deal to me though for a few reasons....I kinda expected it cuz they were from a previous bulk purchase so who knows how old they really are, as long as some germ eventually ill be okay, besides my freebie of columbian x biko is waaay better then the swt#3 and you cant buy it so in the end it all kinda works out. i also purposed picked the smallest swt#3 beans to use first to see the germ rates.

 

[abirdintheair]

anyone that has jack herer x white rhino they respond incredible to LSTing. one is going to have a nice crown on top of it. still only grow problems are slight light burns on plants. also, anyone thats done cherry bomb before when they were seedlinggs did the leaves warp a little? theres also a nice contrast between the fat little leaves of the chem d compared to the very spearlike leaves of the CB.

another update brought to yall by me....transplanted my 2 MODs and the 2 JH x WR from 16 oz cups to 1 gal containers. the roots weren't as crowded as I thought they would be, so next time Ill ty another week in the 16oz'rs.. the 3 chem d/sour d's are coming along nicely, the mutant CB looks like its straightening out but the other CB has along way to catch up if it isnt going to get culled....on a side note I def know now i cant put anything too tall in my cab before flowering, the JH x WRs were around 10" and theyre size is killin me....plus this fcukin like wont stop burnin leaves and pistils if they get too close to the focused beam....I did however make a DIY filter for smell control while I was bored and cut it to fit inside my nutone vent fan...

JH x WR

seedlings chem d/d 3 n right CB 2 on left

crowded cab...

 

[HerbGlaze]

JHxWR Is looking tall and filling out, Nice plants and nice strains! Good variety.

 

[abirdintheair]

thanx herb glaze, Ive had to LST them back over on themselves like a question mark, 3 feet max height isnt enough. Im glad they finish a few days before thanksgiving though

end a week 4 bumpdate

end a week 4 bumpdate

alls well that goes well....put the 3 chem d/ sour d's and the 2 cherry bombs into my cab to start 12/12 at 4 inches. the mutant CB has straightened out but if the runt dont catch up in a week ka-chop.....these MOD menage beans....i still cant say enough, both look like theyre gonna be straight colas, and the taller one is incredibly frosty for 4 weeks. the JHxWR have seemed to stop stretching and are starting to resin up a little. now for the shitty news, my camera just shit itself on me and I dont have a back up until I can buy a new one oh well, if i can snag one from a friend Ill share some update shots by the latest day 35

 

[DoobieDuck]

Thanks Bird for leaving me some info in my thread and for visiting the Pumpkin Patch...sound like you're doing fine other than a camera....great to see ICers like you around...Dr. Duck.

 

[Connoisseur]

Can't wait to see the outcome of this grow... What's the yield you're expecting? It seems to be an accessible grow set-up for a personal stash.

 

[abirdintheair]

the Dr. is in once again!

hey connoisseur, as far as yield goes...hmm id say im shooting for a 1/2oz to 1oz per plant given my small area and 150w lamp. everything from here on out will be exceeding my personal expectations, I didnt expect the MODs to be as good as they are, plus I havent had any nute problems aside from the one time I tried flushing them with regular water. also as far as yield goes per strain I havent seen anyone grow out jack herer x white rhino freebs, so this could be a benchmark to try to beat each time with that strain. the only thing id change if i could is possibly swap out the 150w hps for that new LED "UFO" from hidhut, too bad its 600 bones.

keep droppin lines everybody, thanx for the support

[abirdintheair]

hey doob, which miracle you using? im using their garden choice organic stuff 5:2 with perlite

 

[DoobieDuck]

Bird I'm using the mix with water not the soil. I've always used it with great results other than the Blues and finiky Sativas...again nice grow you've got going..Dr. Duck.

day 34 bumpdate

day 34 bumpdate

out of the cloud of smoke its about time i blessed yall with my presence again lol, sorry im ripped, anyways...
id say this is the halfway point for my bigger ladies. its wierd thought the one MOD and JHxWR on the right side of the cab are waaay more resinated then then 2 on the left, hmmm fishy....maye my lights cocked funny, i dunno....the one really resin cover MOD is even putting it out on its fan leaves still havent had ANY nute problems since i tried flushin em with just water, if it aint broke dont fix it I guess....the seedlings are going good, as luck would have it as soon as i axed the runt CB the other one almost tripled in size bein out into 12/12, now dwarfing the 3 chem d/ds in leave size and stem thickness.

on some other good new, Im starting to plan out my next grow, looks to be quite SOGgy, with some good names in the line up. before all that though i need so imput on an upgrade i might do to my cab. the reflector creates a spotlight beam as ive said, and im thinkin of gettin a second 150w hps similar to my first and remove the reflectors off of both so i can get the plants closer. its colder on my hand right next to the bulb then it is right underneath the reflector...I dont think there will be an increased heat prob since my 50 cfm vent fan has kept temps nice and cool during lights on - can is 6 cu feet roughly so the air is quite fresh during lights on. well i guess thats all, drop some feedback!
