Brando's 1st 250w HPS/Hydro KC Brains Sweet Dreams

[Guest]

Hey all, the set up is 2 GH Waterfarm Hydroponics drip system. One with some CFL's for vegging and one with a 250w HPS in flowering. So please pull up a seat and watch me through this crazy adventure!!

One houses a 3 week old Durban Poison x Skunk seedling which started from one of those give away Durban seeds. The Durban is under 4 27w CFL bulbs.

In another location the other Waterfarm is set up with a 6-7week old female Sweet Dreams plant; originally from KC Brains seeds, this particular plant started as a cutting from a mother plant. This plant is under a 250w HPS light that was just turned to 12/12 lighting two days ago, Nov. 27. As witnessed in the mother plant, this strain can stretch as much as 3feet during flowering, so thats the reasoning behind switching it over so soon.

Heres a top view

And a side view....

And Heres how the stems look since being trained a bit in the beginning.

Also next to the Durban there are some sweet dreams clones in a humidity dome.

Frequent updates! Keep checking in!! Any questions? Just ask.

No pics today but the plant is bushing out again....anyone know if it is advantageous to still practice aggressive pruning, even once in flowering.

Does anyone know if it is advantageous to still practice aggressive pruning, even once in flowering???? Pics coming tomorrow!!

 

[Guest]

Im actually taking some pictures in like 3 hours so those will be up shortly. The sweet dreams has gotten a tons bigger and a whole lot bushier. The clones are turning purple as hell and the durban poison is steadily coming along.

Nice work brando, lazy ass finally got a journal.

High Jinks, the mother of the sweet dreams is flowering right now and is over 10 weeks. Today is day 74 and she still looks to need 2-3 more weeks.

 

[Guest]

Aight everyone, I'm actually leaving today for Australia. Ill be back to update Jan. 7 2008. Hopefully Ill find some sick buds there!

 

[High Jinks]

Chamez- Word? 10weeks was really just a guess.. Ive always wanted to grow something that was very sativa dom, but i know that i wouldnt have the patience. BEAUTIFUL plant though. Is there a link to that sweet dreams mom?

Edit: Bon Voyage Brando!

 

[Guest]

Aight, the Sweet Dreams mother can be found here...http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/21935pl_016.jpg it is the tallest one on the back left. the 4 pots on the right forming the square are juicy fruit by sensi seeds and the front two pots on the left are juicy too. The Sweet dreams is the tall tall one in the back, you cannot see the pot well because it is klinda hidden but it branches into two main stems in the back.

Right now my time is running out, im in Sydney in a hotel using their internet. Ill try and keep updated as best as possible.

 

[High Jinks]

thats funny, i cant even see the top. looks good

 

[Guest]

Yea, Chamez tells me that they did not know how much it would stretch in flower so it was vegged a bit too long and not trained at all. Im really looking forward to seeing it when I get back to my apt, but until then I have to wait to hear updates from Chamez and my roommate. But even worse, I cant use my phone overseas so I basically have to wait around another week to even find out if it started bud or not. Arghh!!!

just prune off yellow or diseased leafs,why grow so mant branches just
to chop em off ? maybe you should instead switch to 12/12..

 

[Guest]

it is already in 12/12 and to quote chamez weho has recently seen the babies..."the sweet dreams i ****ing huge and the durban exploded with growth"

 

[Guest]

Good news everyone! Its 7:10 here in New Zealand and i just got off the phone with my roommate. He tells me that there are tons of pistil bunches and buds have just started forming. Just a quick update, 15 secs left on internet time.... peace out.

Nice looking sativa

[Chamez]

heres an update since brando is a long ass way away right now. The sweet dreams is finally showing flowers after a nice 2 foot stretch. The first day of actual flower formation was arounnd december 14th or 15th. Does hydro make it finish faster than soil, or will this take just as long?

The durban x skunk is gonig into soil today and will be put outside to flower. It will be replaced with a strawberry diesel that I have now and is about a foot tall

 

[Guest]

Thx for the update chamez, just wondering what does this mean? "The durban x skunk is gonig into soil today and will be put outside to flower. It will be replaced with a strawberry diesel that I have now and is about a foot tall"

Are ya guys taking the durban out of the WF??
