400 watt club...

[Guest]

i ahve a very distinct satty im hoping is a chick and another which is def satty but a thicker leaf not sooo bladed . she is growing the lights are at 11/13 so things should grow well under there even the ag and ducksfoot for full satty's. lol na no party mix. on specific seeding. basically the way i do it. is i get my pollen and then take a qtip and rub the qtip into the pollen then selectivily pollinate the buds and or strains i want. i ahve a truly gorgeous sour d ibl male and a killer true blueberry male and a nice satt ak-47 amle i just need and omega male and a basic d male and i am good unless one of the aca golds is male that would be cool. .. but yeah dank is around the corner they ahve been 12/12 for almost a week now. i will be triming up the bottoms of the plants this weekend and the placing a trelis over the tops so they dont fall over when they ahve huge ounce kolas on them hahhahahaa

see the one in the front super thin leaves the one right behind it kinda thicker comapred to the thinner ones...

User Name Thanks dude! This pheno finishes about 62 days so the real finishing swell is just getting to start. Should make a real nice nug NIce lookin plant, whats the strain?

Swerve Damn! I wish I had that gene pool sitting around. Hope you stick up some pics here and there during the grow.

Young Giver Nice! What strains have you got going in there? Did you pick up new goodies while on your travels?

Sounds like you guys are a fan of lavender... Me and my grow partner grow under very similar conditions and are working up to another seed order. To date my favorite tasting bud has been blueberry (getting some dj blue) What would be some strains you would suggest that perform well under a 400? or do they grow about the same quality smoke reguardless of light size?

'Bout time I joined up, I reckon. I won't divulge all the details right now, but let me know what you all think about these (bagseed, first grow, figuring out the basics!)


That's all under my 400w MH.


Mmm I love how healthy she looks!


She's bushy as hell and very branchy too.


She started her life out under about 140w of CFLs... she had a tough childhood!

The big girl is from some mids bagseed and the two smaller plants are from a pretty good bag.. some might call it dank or headies. I had 6 plants in there: one sativa dom. at the same age as my big lady, and two other sativa-ish mids bagseed. I ditched the three sativa-dom plants in favor of a quicker finish w/ the indicas. I'm eager to get past this bagseed and grow out the beans I bought from seedbay and dr.chronic.

Next grow: A11 f2's and AngelDust!!!

What do you guys think? Do I pass? Am I in?!

Hehe, I guess that sounded a little more mysterious than it really is. I just didn't feel like writing the whole thing out at the time.

Details:

400w switchable - mh for veg, hps for flower
FFOF soil cut with 20-30% perlite
FoxFarms Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom, Calmag+, I also have bone meal and blood meal which I will mix in on my next run.
Vortex 4" exhausting air from just next to the light
Passive intake

The plants are bagseed as I said; the large plant is from some mids but is a confirmed female!!! The other two plants are from some pretty good kind bud and I can see obvious differences in growth pattern between the danks and the mids. The mids were all very branchy and 3/4 were mostly sativa (I ditched the sativas in the end because of lack of flowering height and because I wanted this grow to finish pretty quick. Since bagseed has unknown flowering time, for the most part, I took a gamble and saved the more indica leaning plants hoping for a pretty quick finish.

This is my first real grow. My previous attempt was rather pathetic and ended when the last remaining plant of 3 was a male (the other two were culled earlier because of lack of sufficient light).

This time around I've taken my time, purchased the parts I need, and dialed in my cab before planting. I've done countless hours of research -- and loved every bit of it! I love learning about mj and I love reading up about other peoples grows -- what works, what doesn't, techniques, strains, nutes, EVERYTHING!!!

The seedlings were actually raised early on under CFLs when I didn't have proper ventilation for the cab. They suffered some heat stress while young but since the upgrades they've been livin' a life of luxury! The temps are nice and even these days and the plants have plenty of room since I reduced their numbers from 6 to 3.









Some real sexy hairs on this lady! Day 3 flower.


Enjoy!.. and let me know what you all think!

p.s. I'm looking to purchase an EC/PH/TDS meter (doesn't have to be all 3) and I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. Any suggestions? I'm currently using a solution PH test kit. It works but it isn't very precise. Help appreciated!!!

 

[Young Giver]

I bought a little tester. uses no power. just stick the tip in the soil and it tells you. $10 bucks at my local hydro store...

 

[dyren]

Er.. I don't know if that differs from what I'm looking for or not. I was under the impression that the device I seek was one that you dipped the tip into water / nute solution. Perhaps thats wrong.. but the ones at my local store are like 60-80$. =[

Hey all I have a 400 wt Hps in a box 4x4x 20 in deep is this light not enough for the box i have? Should i go taller and not so wide to get better coverage? Any info is appreciated

 

[Guest]

sup boarder, a little taller would be better, but if people can grow in computer cases then you can definitely get some yield out of that box. got any pics of your setup?

 

[buzzed day]

hello all,everyone's stuff is looking so good!!! i wish i could smoke them all lol
here's a few of mine at 4 wk. 2 days







[EDIT]sorry these are 3wks.2 days peace

[Tokabowl]

Hi guys

Nice clean setup you have there BG hope youre feeling better now.

Thought I'd chime in and show you whats under my 400 at the moment:
bagseed x Buddha (DP)

 

[BonsaiGrower]

Thanks Toka .. Feelin a bit better today. Today is clean up day from building the cab and if I'm lucky I may remote ballast a 150w hps I have. Gonna rip apart my veg cab and set up a different design.Your buds look Great. Looks like you put them into flower right away? keep them short? This will be my first attempt at SCROG but I'm looking forward to it.

hmmm before I have to go searching thread after thread...does anyone know of a good scrog strain that will harvest in say 60 days and have a nice energy buzz and looks totally different than any commercial bud?....something purple I'm guessing? and if I was really lucky...a high yielder?...I know...one can dream huh?

 

[RussianGrower]

I heard that such lamps(with mirror flask) - a product ,produced only Russian enterprise "ReFlux"
Widow Scunk....one more week to harvest.....pot - 1,5 l

 

[Guest]

buzzed, looks good keep 'em comin'!

BG, your setup is truly kickass. very clean and professional mang! personally i don't forsee any problems if you're going to be scrogging....keep us updated.

toka those ladies have some nice frost to them already gonna be a nice yield, what are you expecting?

russian, can't say enough about that cola! that fucker's exploding!

LOOKING REAL GOOD 400 CLUB!

 

[BonsaiGrower]

Hey everyone,

UserName, Thanks for the thumbs up bro. Your gallery looks awsome. I hope to have many a nice nug like you have there.

I added a few girls to the cab. I wanted to make room in the veg cab and 5 moms of one strain is overkill. here's a few shots....






It's going to be a month'ish before my clones will be lst'd ready for the flower cab so I figured I could get a perpetual grow going with a 30 day offset. I think when I built my veg cab before my flower cab I put the cart before the horse so to speak. Now I want to scrap the veg cab and make one that I can fit my blue containers in it. With the screen already attached that way when I harvest I'll have a new one ready to pop right in. Sound like a good plan? With another cab the same size I figure I could split it in 3 with 2 shelves and have a Mom/Clone Section and a Vegging section. Measured out it seems like it will work.

Feeling inspired but still nursing the remains of a flu... what's your thoughts?

peace... oh here's a shot of the hood modifications I made. It's a 1000W hood that I used 6 L brackets to make 3 U's. This centred the bulb and reduced air restriction. Glass removed for pic
