Hey Rooster....thanks for the complements.....brotha....you need to go and get yourself a ton of top shelf seeds and breed until you find what you are looking for.....the work you see is 18 months straight of breeding qualities i like in dank......IM ON THE SEARCH FOR THE ULTIMATE PURPLE.....some might want to find the ultimate haze, sativa, indica, couchlock, IDK....but this seems to get my dick hard so thats what i run! Its all about the breeding....growing people seeds is fun.....making your own seeds is the shit! Maybe in a few years ill make this strain availible, but after some serious testing and move to a mj complient state!

Damn killa....some serious fuego bro...that shit is beyond purple its fuckinpurple lol...CFL's are the shit too bro(for micro and small grows)...wish more ppl would realize that...K+++...cant rep ya got the ol "you must spread before givin more to"...peace

Thanks spicoli.....i love my cfl's i can get 1 gpw easily with CFL but havent been able to get that number with my HPS....i guess after growing about 12 cycles under CFL's you find out what they can and cant do...thanks for the rep!

Great colors Killa! How much longer they got? Looks like a weekish? Trichs seems to be concentrated to the calyxs...good chit.

good vibes

Yeah they got about a week....the trics are where i want them to be, but id like to get some more of the N out of the plants before i clip them....they are about 10-20 amber at the moment...

thanx every1

killa- yea i did 32 last run but stager it 16 then 30 days later 16 got 13 zips then 11 zips 30 days later so 100 days total 24 oz's but i had issues as it was all done on the same table same rez and had a delimma when it came time to flush the first batch didnt quite think that thru
as far a a hood goes this is a "grow tunnel" the whole roof was made a 4'x2' parabolic reflector after Agent Smiths tunnel its only 3' from the table to the peak of the roof and the bulb hangs bout 6-8" down from the roof the guy he got the design from was runnin 3 400wt hps's in a 4x8 tunnel with 72 plants and was yeilding 4# and sum change not bad 4 1200 watts pics are in Agent-Smith's album http://www.icmag.com/ic/member.php?u=11075 it will give u a better idea of the design

Ive seen those parabolic reflecting rooms...sorry mate for the reflector comment now.....24 oz in 100 days would keep me in smoke for that time....awesome....cant wait to see the next run!

Absolutely stunning colors 'killa. All from cfl's to boot, right on bro!

I love my CFL's...thanks evil.....cant wait to show her off trimmed..ill post up some more in a few days!

rooster, CFL = compact flourescent. im new to growing also and KILLA's cfl grows looks way better than my 400 hps grow w/ 3 plants.

until my skills improve i guess ill drool over the fine looking ladies in this thread.

KILLA, the pupr looks tasty.

TOASTED, frootloops never looked sooo good.

My 600 HPS buds sometimes dont look as good as my CFL's so dont feel bad SSH....

awesome purple there killa!

thanks meaty more to come!



And an extra thanks to all my FLA peeps that have welcomed me since the CH9 desk got eliminated because of an unhappy customer.....what a crock of Shit! I give a big shout out to my CH9 brothas which was the only reason i came to IC....now i got my FLA peeps to lean on!

Keep it up FLA.....no better place to live! Stay Safe and High

Currently there is 184W total of CFL's 8- 23W CFLS...

6 - 2700k
2 - 6400k

killa, aside of your skills do you think you get better results from cfl's b/c you can keep them closer than the hps?

 

[killa12345]

I really dont think there is much difference.....every run with the hps...the yields have more then doubled....at the end of the day....i will say the bud from my hps is frostier than the cfl's bud mass is the same depending on height with the CFL's(I think the ideal height when using 23-27w CFL's is 12" MAX)....i think i can pull 2-3 lbs from my one 600 in the 4x4, but id have to run 72 plants in a sog, which is not what i want to do at the moment! i think this grow will be just around a gpw running 23 plants in one gallon hempy buckets!

 

[Guest 18340]

Never tried flowering with them but I have vegged some monster's using cfl's.
I still use them. I have an 8 lamp t-5 set up and I swear I get better growth with my 8 bulb cfl set up (two 4 bulb Homedepot bathroom vanities wired together).

*EDIT*
Just wanted to ad, if your cfl burns out, go buy another one and use that receipt with the barcode from the new pack and send it to the warranty address on the package. They will send you a $10 manufacturers coupon. I do everytime one goes bad. They're warrantied for 5 years.
a 3 pack of 26w GE 6500k cfl's cost about $7 at Walamrt. Send in a register receipt and barcode and you get a $10 coupon, more than what you paid. I've been doing it for 2 years now.
BTw, I'm not advocating scamming GE by claiming a bulb went bad when it didnt Bad Karma

Hola Evlme2! Re: keeping your karma in check...If you keep your register receipts, just bring back the burned out bulbs with the receipt and tell them the bulb burned out after a couple days/weeks/whatever. Tell them you just want to get another pack to replace the burned out bulb and they will do an even exchange for you. Karma balanced...end of story. This will work at most big box retailers provided you keep your receipt.

Even if you simply go back and buy a new package and use that receipt to return the burned out bulbs because they are "defective" and didn't last 12,000 hours or whatever they are rated for...the returns people could care less. They are more concerned about people buying using and returning big ticket shit than $7 bulbs. Just my $. Ciao!

 

[killa12345]

personally i just take the bulb back in the packing and Walmart will give me a new pack of bulbs.....ive only did it once.....but i had no problem exchanging at Walmart!

 

[Guest 88950]

i think ill go pick some cfl's up for side lighting.

Killa, wont you get a more dense and compact bud from a HPS opposed to a cfl?

 

[Guest 18340]

You know, I never even thought about taking the bulb back
But yeah, the warranty with those bulbs is awesome.
I'll be building a veg cab soon and outfitting it with cfl's for sure.

I dont think so....personally....i think if you keep the plants to say 9"-12", you will get the same exact results from my 600 hps keeping them under 20"....i think anything above 20" is too tall to run under a 600 to get optimal light to the very bottom of the plant! I read a study on light intensity and plant heights and i think the similarities depend on usuable light to the plant!

Started a thread in the Social Group, but also wanted to be sure all our Florida peeps know about this. Follow the Accommodations link for deals on rooms.

Lets represent and let these companies know what Florida is working with!

the bong is sweet for the price glass on glass with shroom perc for $55 but im tryn to cut back on my intake ,the bubbler ive seen on other sites for 3x the amount and like the design but every thead i c on a bubbler ppl love them at first then they get put on the shelf finally the glass blunt i like it cuz its like an ajustable depth 1eye that u can keep lit like a blunt and portable but i have never smoked outta 1 and would hate to buy it and not like it wish i could just make up my mind

You know it OGH!

Nice stuff toasted. DC is an excellent strain.

 

[Guest 88950]

ill be rolling around there too OGH. its within a hour from me. i believe the first day is for people in the industry but its open to the public the other days.

KILLA, you mentioned you use hempy buckets. there is a member that posted a modification to the hempy method, using a 2" res at the bottom w/ an airstone to oxygenate the h2o.

have you seen this thread? ill find it an put it below.

Thanks SSH.....there really is no reason to run an airstone with hempy buckets....i run close to a 2" res.....with no airstone....the reasoning behind no airstone....is the water is usually distributed threw the medium in around 14-20 hours....no stale water here.....iDk maybe its good for massiah....maybe others.....but the thread where i picked this up on CW.....people tried it with no difference in results...

Ive been running hempy style buckets for the last 2 years straight....no problems what so ever.....You really need to watch PH but the rest is elementary....
