BC's 150 watt HPS/T5 Scrog Cab

[BC Chronic]

Hey chris!!! Nice to hear from you and Thanks!!!There is still room left on both sides...I did'nt want to miss having some on my B-day so I flipped a week early...I have 5 clones waiting to go in though!!!
I'll pop by right now bro...

Holy Ganja Smokes! she's looking more amazing day by day. Very good job BC! Your grows inspirational! Keep it up!!!!!

 

[Strangely]

Never quite sure re your train / not train question once you're in flower. I've read a fair bit of stuff recently on trimming fan leaves etc in flower and the short version is stressing out plants inn flower = bad. You've done a great job with the training / scrog so I'd be tempted to leave alone now. That said if there's the odd thin branch you want to poke back under go for it. But I'd certainly ease off generally now you're in flower. Looking good anyway mate!

How far above the canopy is the HPS by the way?

 

[BC Chronic]

Thanks PanchoBuddha!!!!!! I get such an enjoyment out of the whole process!! This TW is totally blowing my mind!! If you have'nt tried any, you really have to bro!!
thanks Strangely for the great advice bro!!!!! i'm just letting her do her thing and its pretty coolthe HPS is exactly 18 inches above the screen so these buds are going to get close
Its now day 11 of bloom...If anyone remembers how I described the last TW( what I was growing in my pc) smell as feces mixed with rotten socks, well this lady smells like that old school skunkits like night and day....I'm glad I got lots of clones off of her...
here are some more pics...

sorry the pic lokks crappy but you can see the many budsites
26 to be exact!!! I don't know if I mentioned how the BudBlood not only makes plants grow pistils weeks sooner( I saw ones at day 8 of bloom) but it also feeds those happy bacteria AND gives you more budsites per square inch...great stuff for sure....

she's doubled overnight too...those T5's are magic for sureI put this one in as soon as she rooted so I'll get 1 nice cola out of her

I fed her the BigBud,Carbo-Load, and the PB Bloom last night and she grew almost 2 inches!!!
This container she is in has 3 gallons of soil in it and its already completely full of roots...I could pull the whole plant out at once no problemthe soil had/has beneficial bacteria in it from the bag so those roots must be very happy...I also have to water/feed everyday because the soil gets dry overnight
any feedback/comments/etc is more than welcome
thanks again

Nice grow u got there, lookin good

 

[Ghostwolf]

BC, buddy what can I say. I love what you've done with the place. She's gettin bigger everyday. I can hardly wait do try that in my case. I'm thinking that scrog may be the best way to get the most out of my mid tower pc case.

 

[funknug420]

your babys just keep on looking better n better, do the t5's really work that good?
buddy of mine was telling me they are really good. keep up the good work man

 

[BC Chronic]

Thanks puffinchron!!!I am amazed at how she is growing...
Thank you Ghost!!! scrog really is one of the best ways to get the most out of your space...
Thanks funknug420!! Those T5's are incredible bro!! There is a link below if you want to check them out...they even have a 10,000k!!! ScrubNinja was using a 10,000k and got great results...all the shoots still are growing towards them instead of the HPS!!!
Thanks everyone and please keep comomg back!!pics later

Hey BC its been a while. But i love your new setup. I wish i could do something around the same size. Still stuck on using the pc case. But those t5's are very nice. I have a friend that uses them, very good results.

 

[BC Chronic]

thanks Struckanerve!! It has been awhile but its great to have you back...there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with your pc bro!! That thing is a bud machine!!!
have you thought about using a scrog screen in it??
thanks again

 

[Fuzz420]

Great work as always BC. Im glad to see the new cab is working well

 

[Struckanerve]

yeah i will be scroging in my case. I will probably do a little of lst as well. Just going to try to cram as much as i can in the pc case lol

 

[heater76]

Ohh Yeah!!! i was off for a week and ur girl got me amaze, so big!! very Healthy. im dying to start my 2 grow using scrog screen. Congrats and keep the good work
Take Care,

 

[BC Chronic]

Thank you Fuzz420!!! The T5's with the HPS are performing way beyond what I was thinking...I can't wait to see your new cab bro!!!!!!
Hey Struckanerve!!! I did lots of research( at least I think I did!!) on scrogs and for the amount of room we all have in the micro grows, why not try it? so I did!! I can't wait to watch your pc fill up again...this time there will be even more!!!!
Thanks heater76!! missed you around here!! right on!! another scrogger!!!

here she is at day 12 of bloom...she is drinking even more than 2 litres of water/nutes everyday.....man...and she grew 2 inches overnight

this pic was taken last night with the HPS off to see her betterimagine if I had let her grow another few weeks before flipping...next time...

and this was taken today!! look at how much she grew in 12 hoursits insane!!

with all the lights on...my friend is growing a TW outside and its 6 feet around and 6.5 feet high!!!

this is how much more room she has to grow upwards...do you think I'm okay?? meaning without having to tie anymore branches??
thanks in advance for any help/comments etc!!! I have 2 clones getting ready for the next grow I'll use 2- 2 gallon pots with 1 clone in each...that should be fun...
thanks everyone!!

Damn damn damn bro look at her go far out I haven't been past for a few and now look at her size, awesome job bruz.
Nice canopy you have there, I can see in your last pic you might have to LST those main branches away from each other a bit more, it's looking slightly cramped at the moment and will be more so when she's chocka block full of buds. Those T5's are really helping her get up and go, it should be thick with resin from the screen up mate, great job BC

 

[#1cheesebuds]

holy sheet dude she is looking great as ever could.

 

[BC Chronic]

b00m-bastic!!!! thank you for popping in bro!!! I am amazed at how this TW is growing...its those T5's or something...I most definately am in trouble with not tying her down more...
Hey cheese!!! crazy hey!? I can only imagine what the buds will be like.....
Hey all!!
Its day 14...the end of week 2....she has been stretching beyond my wildest dreams...when I went to rearrange some branches, I found dozens of smaller shoots underneath!!!they all have light now so let the games begin

just the T5's on in this pic.....I guess there is still a week of stretching too....if I had known better(now I do!!) I would have been tying her more...

right before lights on...she has grown 2-3 inches everyday so far

I have only had to cut off 2 leaves so far...I am trying to keep as many on as I can....unless I am wrong so please let me know

this was taken 1 day before the others...you can see the growth overnight...I also took that clone out..it wasn't getting any light at all so now she will be the new( and improved!!) mom

thanks everyone for being part of this grow...not the same without ya!!!
take care

BC, this is my favorite show right now.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Sorry for the late arrival, can't believe I missed this much. I saw you over at Pipedream's crib and thought I'd drop by here.

I'm vegging a green crack cross atm, it's as chartreuse as TW.

As far as trimming fans, it's a guess. Depends on how big and how close together. Some light will pass through the leaf. Once leaves start layering it's a different story.

Try and take them fewer at a time and you'll prolly get less stress.

Hey BC, ive been lurking ur threads for a while from the pc to this one. Im loving the new cab with the supp lighting with hps, very nice. Cant wait to see this beautiful lady in full bloom, good luck man
