SkyLight pre-flwr to harvest. w/ pics.

I ordered mine at HID hut but I think I payed to much. It is a full system with reflector and comes with a bulb. I should have shoped around though cause I overpayed by like 45 bucks. O well. It comes w/ a 1 year warrenty I think. Should be here late next week.

if I can come up with the quick 90bucks I'll ge tthe 150hps from htg supply. and use a little cfls. my camera is dead. but my little girl(hopefully) sprouted today. I have my auto ak 47 and WW seeds germing right now.

 

[TheBotOnist]

Cool. I bet the AK and white widow will blow your head off man.

I will use my CPF with the HPS when it comes. I am thinking of positioning the CPF allaround the sides with the HPS above.

The night time temps have been getting pretty low (40ish) and my closent doesn't have a heat duck so it has been dropping to like 55-60 in there at night. Today I wrapped a reptile, under-the-tank heater up in a hand towel and set the plants pot on it. I plugged the heater into a new timer that is set to be on from 7pm to 10AM. I will only keep it plugged in on the nights that it gets cold.

My hope is that by keeping the plant warmer it will grow faster. I am hoping harvest at about ten weeks (mid march), but I will be patient until the trichs are ready.

Pics as soon as I see some development.

planted my white widow today. hopefully she sprouts out tom. b/c its fem. and my bagseed is already out and stuck straight up

 

[TheBotOnist]

Whats up shef. Can't wait till you throw some tasty pics up. How do you have your lights positioned above the skunk? I like to keep my ligts as close a possilbe, but I have had a few burnt fan leaves. I think the CPU fan will fix that though.

After looking at abunch of threads it seems like plants under floros take longer to develop than under HID lights. I can't wait till the HPS comes. I wanna see my lady put on a little weight!!! The progress so far has been kinda boring. Just a few new hairs every day. Pics soon.

 

[shefsmoke]

soon as I get some new batteries for my camera I can upload pics. nothing exciting right now. bagseed is about 2 inchs tall its on its 3rd day of 12/12. this is the WW first day of 12/12. my lights are about 2-3inchs away. I did the hand test so where fine.

Filling in a little.

Filling in a little more.

Here is a top view.

This next bud is on a little bitty plant that I thought would die. Its about 5 inches tall and barely has any leaves. The leaves it does have are yellow, waxy, and dying but it is still making a frosty little bud. Maybe I will get a joint from it...

A side view of the little one.

nice looking plants there !!! hope mine turn out that good. my camera sucks but my bagseed that i first started is about a week old now. looks like its starting to sex. looking female cant take pics of it to see if im right b/c my camera cant get close enuff its to fuzzy!!! will take pics of the girls and post up. i got my 150w hps as well!! which works like a charm just ogtta get my heat and humid problems undercontrol then i'll be fine.

 

[TheBotOnist]

Thanks shefsmoke. I have to say though that I am not hoping for much from this plant.

My original HPS never came so I canceled the order and I decided to get a 400w MH/HPS from HID hut. That site had a killer deal. $160 and it includes a heavy duty timer, both bulbs, remote ballast, and 4-sided, ajustable reflector. I have a few more ventilation issues to work out myself but as soon as I get it figured out look for my new thread. I will be growing BF Blue cheese, Red Dragon, Red Cherryberry. Along with some of the freebie seeds. I will do one of each under the 400w MH/HPS.

Im so excited!

 

[shefsmoke]

wow man sounds sick!!! but on the other hand I need stealth so I need little light and small harvest about an ounce a plant. I need to get some humidity problems sorted out I need a filter and some fans for the light I need pc fans but where can I get 12v chargers so I can wire 120mm fans to???

 

[TheBotOnist]

I use a laptop charger. You can also find adapters that power up old video game platforms that will work. My adaptor puts out 14.5 but it seems to still work fine on a 12v CPU fan. I got a 120CFM in-line fan today for exuast but I don't think it will be enough for the light so I may have to get anothor, larger fan.

On a side note. I watered the plant with 10-30-15 Bloom Booster when I took the last pic and she has already responded well to it. Really starting to fatten up now...

 

[shefsmoke]

Nice looking good. um im looking for cheap chargers so I can wire 120mm fans to make my owns exhaust for the light and room. my plants are doing good!!! check em out

A little Photo Op.

4 days worth of trichome production for the little one...
I corrected a major PH problem in the dirt (8.7!!!) when I got my PH gauge and then fed this little girl with 1/2 strength bloom ferts. Notice how the leaves are starting to look green an healthy already.

My larger plant is fatting up after some boom ferts...
The burns are from it touching a floro all dy. Whoops!!!

A large shot of the whole plant. Notice the floro burns??? ( sorry for the width.)

On more of the little one.

Can't wait to cure and smoke that little baby! It was so stunted and abused and yet it is still making a frosty little nug. Who would have thought?

[shefsmoke]

mmm looking tasty. whats ur strain again?

 

[TheBotOnist]

Bagseed all the way. The bag was seedy as hell too. I am waiting to plant the barny's farm and big budda seeds untill I get my 400w MH/HPS runing. I will start a new thread then.

How are your plants doing. Would love to see some new pics. Are you using the 150HPS thread now as your grow journal ?

 

[shefsmoke]

yep thats what im using as my grow journal. did you get rid of your 150w hps? and moved to 400w?

 

[TheBotOnist]

My 150 never came. After 3 weeks or so I canceled the order and the money was creited to my card. I then ordered the 400 MH/HPS from HTG supply. Great deal and very prompte delivery.

I havent got my ventalation for the closnt right yet and I am out of money. When I get it cool enough to use I will post a whole thread on me building my growroom and growing the Attitude seeds I bought per your advice.
