A Green Renaissance!

[Guest]

That sounds great CC, I need something that won't pull the current or give the heat of a big light, but will give me good vegetative lighting. Looks like you are using a 4' four tube light for your table. Are those 53W bulbs, and are you using a mix or all blue spectrum? Oh, and what size is your table... looks like 3' x 6' from the photo. While I have researched the T5 lights, it's always better to hear it from the horses mouth (so to speak)! :wink:

Abby, I'm not positive what the wattage is, it's hard to find that info online.

However, from what I remember, there's 210 watts of electrical draw, and approximately 420 watts of output. And let me tell ya, 420 watts of output spread out the way it is, is a miracle for us indoor guys.

In the past, I'd have to rotate my plant under the veg lights to try to get them all uniformed up for the flowering room. Now, they should all be uniform without the extra work of rotating them constantly.

They'll be getting their first real feeding in a few minutes, we'll see what the lights can really do then :wink:

Oh, and the table size is 4', not 6'. I think the width is about 2.5'.

That T5 light looks terrific for vegin. I may add it to the 400 mh. Yea or nay? Good work CC, love to see it.

I've got my T5 with the 400mh in veg and am prepared to kick some ass. That'd be a smart move Smokey.

I've had my T5 for the last grow and saw great success.

10-28 Update

10-28 Update

The timer was set for 12/12 today. The seed-grown plants will not be topped, I want to end up with a bunch of squat xmas trees.

Sour Bubble bx3
Looking nice. Those big fat leaves are starting to show themselves :smile:



Gonzo #1
Rezdog's cross of M39 and William's Wonder. You can see the William's Wonder leaf pheno showing through.




HOG
These were planted about a week after the Gonzos and the Sour Bubbles. Looking nice.



The next generation
These are Grapefruit F4 (on left) and LUIxBogglegum (right). They were planted directly into these 4" square pots.


Skunk Special - MASSIVE YIELDS
I saw this baby flowering in Hot Cargo's garden. It was so massive that I HAD to get a clone to try in my garden. The smell and taste are great, and he says the high is really good as well. It's being cloned in a cut flower tube filled with a solution of Earth Juice Rootstock rooting formula - organic. The aloe plant is there to keep her company during these tough times :smile:

Great pics, love those big lush leaves on the SB and cant wait to flower out one of my clones........you will love the Grapefruit, got 3 myself and all are beautiful looking.........beware of the stretchy pheno, in the pic below the back tall plant and the front left plant are both Grapefruit and were the same size when they went into flower, i snapped the taller due to her being too tall and she has responded excellently.

Cant wait to see your girls budding.
Peace

That Skunk Special has a special, tasty scent to it. I can tell it's going to be some delish smokes. It'll be fun to take on rides through the forest :wink:

I KNOW dude! I have some grapefruit seedlings that are so tall they fell over in the pots already! And they're under a T5 too! Plenty of light to stay squat, but they're stretchy, so what are ya gonna do, right? I'll just can the stretchy ones as I see them. No room for floppy sativas right now, but I have room for squatter sativas! :wink:

cool bro

cant wait to see your garden purped out

Yeah man, I have never grown one of those truly pruple plants, the kind with the purple calyxes, not just purple leaves. I have a feeling I'll get my fix soon :wink:

smokin 2 live! What's up bro!

Thanks HighLander

An update on the seedlings...

Here we have a three-leafed LUI x Bogglegum. It's silly and the other seedlings make fun of it. What are ya gonna do?



Hre's one of the Grapefruit F4's sent over by Plan B. This is one that's NOT stretched out like a limp fire hose. One of the GF seedlings is so long already that it's laying on top of the soil.



Here's a way to tell that your seedlings are in need of some fertilizer for the first time... See the purpling of the undersides of the first set of leaves?

These are two different varieties showing the same deficiency, so it's not a genetic coloring.

Another reason I'm sure it's the start of a deficiency is that these are in a totally soiless mix, and have never been fed anything at all.

The first is Grapefruit, the second is LUI x Bogglegum.




They're entirely healthy, and are now ready to be fed.

 

[big mike]

CC, thanks for the feeding tips

 

[Organic Hydro]

Interesting selection you've got going there CC

i cant wait to see more shots of the TRC cuts and beans when they put alittle size on.

have a great day bro.

Nov 2 Update

Nov 2 Update

Hey guys, thanks for popping in.

This is a little update on progress.

The hungry seedlings got their first fertilizer yesterday. Also, I'm a dipshit. Remember in an earlier post I was saying that one of the grapefruits was so lanky that it was laying on the surface of the soil? I found out why. The veg fan was off the whole time. I turned it off while the seeds germinated - because there was no need for airflow at that time... But I forgot to turn it back on til yesterday. The plants were weak from not getting any airflow.

After their first feeding, and after switching the fan on, they are looking hardier already.


Boy, when you are playing Mother Nature, it's so easy to screw one of the tiny details up! :smile:

This is the Sour Bubble - it's leaves are huge and getting bigger.


This is the Gonzo #1


Here's a garden shot. this was taken with the 1000 watter on, but I still managed to get it to look decent anyhow. Fast shutter speeds and filters :wink: - We have Killer Queen (cindy99 x G13 from Lonestar), Cindy99 (clone from Rez), the Alexis clone (Lonestar's newest love), DSD1 (a sativa version of DSD by Lonestar), Kyle Kushman's Strawberry Cough clone, THSeeds' HOG, BOG's Sour Bubble bx3, and Rezdog's Gonzo#1 (M39 x William's Wonder).


Here's a grapefruit F4 seedling. That pot is 4" across and yet the first set of leaves have grown over the edges. Very vigorous so far! I hope they don't stretch like crazy!
