Total Noob using teas and I am a believer

Do you guys trim your undergrowth, I use to and I think I must of did it too much w my first round of blueberry but my second round I barely did anything and it's looking mighty bushy and healthy at 2 weeks flowering. Here's some pics of my new layout, it's sealed and soon to be mylar every were , I need to invest in better lighting but thinking before I buy. I need to have 6 plants per light, I have 3 lights and plan to push 6 plants in every 3 weeks, if they aren't done they will be pushed off to side and left there until finished. 9 week cycle.

May.
Firstly, nice pics...make sure you're geo tracking is off if using your phone. Lollipop'n is very debatable. I think those bottom leaves are good pre-warnings for an issues. More foliage more yield.

As for lighting, there's a ton of options. Depends on what you want to spend. You could use what you already have with some light movers. Combine MH and HPS for better results. You can even move 600's/1000's and hang some bare 400s vert to cover a large area.
 
Thanks red . I currently run 1000w mag ballast w radiant 6 hood, eye hortilux bulb.
600 watt I power digital w/ cooltube, I hate this thing. Has a 7200k plantmax mh
600 watt magnum xxl w/ a super red bulb.

When I take pictures w my phone I use the airplane on mode.is this what your talking about?

I was thinking of getting the luxor hoods and trying one of them 860w phillips. Then another w a eye hortilux, then my magnum if I don't replace that. I use t5 lights for veg. 9 total now but maybe going to get more.

Sampled some caramelo and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I can't wait to try blueberry in a few weeks. 20140116_071719.jpg

The only reflectors/HID I would use are the OG or Luxor with the 860w CMH! IMO no other set up would mean shit to me. As far as veg goes, LED...if not than broad spectrum T5HO aquarium lights...thought hyroot would post links. I'll build a great spectrum LED for you if you want lol. I plan on making 3 quality custom sized panels and maybe a vert LED too.

If you do trim, cut growth tips but leave the fan leaves. Sometimes there just is not enough light down there. Tons of people moan that they get bananas when especially OG's tend to herm on the lower nodes if it is getting a bit shady. You'll easily see if this is the case, branches will be thin and spindly and have teeny leaves, chopping those is not a bad idea. As for the total 'lollipop' thing, I am not a huge fan. Even if a little light is getting down there those leaves are using it. Only growing branches make trouble ever, not leaves.

Snob lol. I'm just did OK with my ol' mag ballasts and home made hoods. I even snipped a bit off the one wing so the overlap was perfect ROFL... My DIY project for 2014 is building my own LED panel, and if it works, another one or two. Importing is just silly far as duties go. It's a whole heap of reading to do but might as well get onto it.
 
Keep it up Gand!!! Good for mind, body, and soul! PM me if you need a good routine!

Feels good to have dialed in a living organic coco mix FINALLY!!! No deficiencies or burns...yet. The water just flows like a refreshing cold vented Coors.

The 12/12 from seed seems to be great...why do people bother with autos? I'll be happy with around 2 zips a plant. Get to grow a bunch of diff strains this way too. I tortured all of them with topping, transplanting, and horrible weather. All during stretch lol. However, they do veg for about 2-3 weeks. Here's one I even super cropped. Look at those mooseknuckles.

Vert growing is fucking awesome. Don't see it any other way from now on. No damn hoods and glass taking away form my UV and intensity. I want a 1 RPM vert light mover! Might make one...any ideas?

Started a peat mix...again :( Seen dry spots even while hydrating it with aloe water lol. Oh boy. I've never tried hydrating with aloe, so I'll give peat one more shot. How do you get these lumps out?!

Harvesting worm castings is a bitch! I picked out a bunch of the cocoons so I could breed ASAP. Need more black gold!!!

Took clones from girls n boys. Want to see how long it takes to reveg.

Is anyone still reading this?

Oh and Ham, you weren't kidding about GG picking up the pace! 2 talls 3 shorties!
 
I love the small victories. Guess that's all I get though. My ballast is like 20 years old. I'm not sure what direction to take. Thinking about a digital hps/mh. I'd like to get a cmh cause I want to be like red when I grow, up but the age of my gear makes me cautious. And I'm ain't got xtra funds layin around. I seen a red spectrum sun master 1000 watt mh but can't find any info on them.

You can always gamble on C-list, or drive my way! Make sure to bring that girl in your avatar selfie over too!

Clist is dead here. It would be cheaper to go to the store or shop online than drive 3 hours for a clist roll of the dice. You don't want to mess with that girl. Homeboy will run you through with his mighty sword.

Nice super crop red.
I did a Sensi Star too hard and it took it 2 weeks to recover.

If I go too hard I'll bust out the electric tape lol. I pinch around it gently first, twist back n forth real gentle like, slowly rock it back n forth like a baby, and lay her to sleep. Ever since I started the Silica foliar, they recover in around 3 days. I taped the one in pic just to keep em straight and strong for the 5 oz colas that're coming...insert rolling eye face here.
 
Hyroot. What would one of them pricey ass lights cover lol damn them sicker are high aren't they. I would like to try building a led. I'll let you guys try and figure that out and then I'll copy ;) lol

I need to look into full spectrum t5. I just use 6500k right now.
