2lbs in a 3x3-the igrow way

[igrowMy0wn]

Whats the word guys?! If im gonna complain about noone responding to my thread, when they do, I'd better answer some questions huh? Here we go...from the top... :friends:
Blue- Im growing a hashplant cross from a local hippie. I have 1 1000 watt light over my tray, aircooled by a 465cfm inline fan.

Fredster- See my mom? She's kinda fat and out of shape

Rolando Mota- I will be typing out a thread soon with pics and all! I would say something like "as soon as my camera charges" or "my connection is bein' wack" but that would be a lie :wink: ...im just a stoner

Tex- Will you post some pics of what your trays look like? Im interested in your methods...as soon as I can slow things down.

playinindirt- Im gonna post it soon As for light I got a 1000 and I use the Solar Max horticulture grade bulbs.

Cascading Green- You already know what Im gonna say huh?

Friend2U- That room looks dialed! What was the veg time on those beauties?

Sleepy- Out of your league!? It must look more impressive than it really is. Thanks for the props though, make-a me feel all warm inside.
:EDIT:
skunkafryed- Ive used light warrior too, I liked it alot. Are you in a flood and drain? I have a buddy that also gives me shit for the thousands. He also runs exclusivly 600's with great results. Im sold on the idea that with the cooling I have in place, I can get as close as I could with a 600 or even a 400...giving me deeper penetration (Im a dirty dirty old man)

Vapor- Stay tuned bro. We'll see what happens :wink:

OHenry-That is one impressive list of genes to work with! Good goin', I will keep everything updated, stay tuned!

HOG- I agree, im still getting things dialed but so far so good, eh? Im getting a 1/2inch to 1inch a day!

Maistre- I'll show you mine if you show me yours. 2 pounds with the help of you all hopefully! With the Co2 and the fact that the 1000 is aircooled the buds are pretty firm and sticky. I was planning on putting 2 1000's over a 4x4 and trying to do the So Quick thing in a tray. I use the FloraNova series and my ppm is at about 540 with a ph of 5.8-6.0. So far in this tray i have only had 1 harvest.They suffered from toxicity and low co2 levels but still yeilded about a pound. I checked out your gallery and your tables look VERY clean. From seeing your work on OG im sure your expectations will be exceeded!

Im not sure what to do guys. I want to flip them now but I need a good yeild, I've also never worked with this many plants before either. Who thinks I should flip them? Should I trellis them like Lothar? Let me hear your suggestions!


Here is a cool pic I got. Once again obviously not from this grow but just a lil somethin' to look at while we are getting through the previews :wink:

I would wait.
My rule is always........
-pick a day you want to switch to 12/12
-when that day finally comes......
-wait 7 more days.

You will increase your yeild big time. If you are going to add another 1000 later...might as well use the one you are using now to veg to a good size and then add the second 1000 around week 2 of flower to help penetrate down.

thats my 2 cents.......

How tall are they now?

From your pics of the 11th... they appear to be 3-4 inches... IF flipped now... you are probably looking at plants in the 16-18 inch range... I think you should give it a week perhaps or just a bit longer... too early and your yield will suffer.

An 8 inch clone will run up 18-24 inches. (strain dependent of course)

Skunkafryed... I'm running 14 per table at the moment with two tables... feel free to check my grow thread if you get a chance.

 

[skunkafryed]

Igromyown,

I flood to waste while feeding, and top fed by hand, pain in the ass but has to be done while flushing the way I run the system. using Foxfarm grow, big bloom, liquid karma and kabloom the last 2 weeks. I'm at day 27 today. Bout 40 more to go or so...Pics soon. Tonight or tommorrow. I'm a lazy stoner and am getting a borrowed camera for the pics. You'd think two stoners could at least coordinate a digi but nope lol. Too much Indica.

Maistre,

Will do. You have the clostest to my setup Ive seen yet. Cant wait to finish reading it. Looks killer.

Peace

You might look at using the two 1000w over two 4x4 and use a lineal light mover. Just a thought, double up. You could probably pull off three 4x4 in a row with the light mover.


That's (24) 5.25" pots/plants that are just over two weeks into flower, all about 20-24" right now and stretching. I think they will all stop pretty much at the same canopy level and fattin up. I will still do one more extreme pruning before the end.

Good growin

Tex

 

[sunnyside]

ok ok I admit that the title may be a bit decieving but 200 VEIWS AND ONLY 4 POSTS!?!?
All I want is a lil advice guys, do I smell bad or something?

Many threads lose their vigor with exaggerated claims of importance. If you go overboard in your praise or assessment, readers will tune out quickly...and you burn your chance of being effective later, since they will question your integrity and accuracy.

the best way to get a thread poppin...EYE CANDY...show us two pounds, and then you'll get the traffic you crave.

good luck on the 2 lb. quest!!!

 

[CalcioErba2004]

Nice set up. I am mainly a soil grower but I am dabling into hydro a little and I will be following your thread to check out what it can produce. Good luck.

 

[igrowMy0wn]

Nothing much to update on but Here is a picture taken last night. PPM's are at 550 and PH @ 6.3
I will be changing the res today...

 

[skunkafryed]

16 per table. 1k over each. 3 gal grow bags, flood to waste. Serious seeds chronic. Pics are 29 days into flower. Again killer thread.



peace

 

[igrowMy0wn]

skunkafryed- that looks CLEAN bro! :tup: Is that dirt or a soiless mix? How often do you flood?

 

[skunkafryed]

I'm using Foxfarm Light Warrior which is soiless I guess lol. Works killer. Since I flood to waste I feed/water about every 4-5 days. Probably every 3-4 days here real soon as they are really packing on the weight now at day 31.

 

[AlphaOmegaRolla]

good going you gonna make that goal easy. stay on it.

 

[igrowMy0wn]

Almost 1000 views? OK, you want to see 2 pounds of smelly weed?! Im going to grow 2 pounds of smelly, grown-a-mile-high-to-to-get-you-a-mile-high sensimilla marijuana!! Right here, documented on IC mag.....
...today is day 1 bloom




<----How'd this get here? I'll leave it cuz i've been lazy with the updates. This was 4 daze ago...

<------ Best addition to my room in the past few days, the exaust hangers, SOOO much better than the bungee cords and oh so clean :wink:

 

[CaptainChronic]

damn bro... lookin great!! what strain are you using there? I like your hydro setup!

 

[igrowMy0wn]

AlphaOmegaRolla- I sure hope so, thanks for the ups! Stick around.
CaptainChronic- The strain is an unknown hashplant cross... :wink:

 

[igrowMy0wn]

Alright... Here we go @ day 6 bloom, they seem to be responding well to ppm's of about 700 and a ph of 6.2. Im still running a veg solution until monday (anyone think I should go longer?) I gave them a trim last night. Any comments, questions or suggestions?

 

[CalcioErba2004]

Wow, really nice room. I got a good look in the last set of pics. I like the way your exhaust fan is set up. :smile: I have bungee cords and I can't stand them. I don't know much about hydro but isnt Ph suppose to be around 5.7,5.8?

 

[igrowMy0wn]

Day 9 Bloom

Day 9 Bloom

Hey all, Today is day 9 bloom. PPM's are at 700 and PH is 5.7
Calcio-I let my PH drift from about 5.5 to about 6.5

 

[PNW_grown]

Wow, this should be fun to watch, i am looking forward to seeing these 2 lbs. have you achieved this already?

 

[skunkafryed]

The only question I have about yielding 2 p in your setup is whether HP can do it as a strain, I could be wrong . There are a few solid 1g/w strains made for this style of growing. Green giant, critical mass, nlxbig bud, Chronic, Sk1, NL....for a few. Not to mention select clones out and about.

It would be nice to hit that with hash plant because it is such a good toke. If you do it I will be growing some as I have never taken the risk because there are others proven to yield huge in sog done correct.

With that many plants per sf make sure and stay on top of the purning and focus the energy to the heads.... you may hit 2p. Probably more like 1.35 1.5.... because 1g/w is so strain/clone dependant...

Whatever you hit it will be a good yield I forcast. You have your system down it looks like.
