Hey all, thanks for stoppin' in to check out my gj! Thanks to all who helped me here, I am passin' it on, now!

I am growing in an HTG tent with the dimensions- 48" x 48" x 78".

Lighting-I am using an HTG 600 watt digital HPS/MH, and an HTG 400 watt magnetic HPS/MH, with the 400 has an air-cooled hood.

Exhaust-I am venting the tent with a 454 CFM 6" inline fan/carbon filter, and venting to my closet attic.

Set up-I am growiing 6-waterfarms, and using a 70/30 ratio of coco/hydroton medium, with a top layer of 100% coco when I add my seedlings to the farms.
I modified the waterfarms by adding new holes and enlarging the others! I am getting airstones that I will add to the reservoirs and will be powered by a dual diaphragm air pump!

I am growing 2-Lowlife Lemon Skunks that are 10 days old, 1-Lowlife Blueberry Kush that is 1 day old, 1-Sagarmatha Smurfberry that is 16 days old, 1-Sagarmatha Double Diesel (this DD was heat stressed so she was delayed in growin', but now she has recovered and is 21" tall!), 1-reg G13 Blue Venom. I have 2-autofem Oils (Chemdawg/Kush x Lowryder) that will go in the larger waterfarm when they are ready!

Nutes-I am using all GH base nutes, with the lucas formula of 8ml Flora Micro per gallon, and 16ml Flora Bloom per gallon, but I am keeping the nutes a bit light with anything with Blueberry and the Lemon Skunks too! I use AN Sensizyme and Cal-Mag. When flowering, I use Koolbloom and FloraNectar, and the last 2-3 weeks of flower, I will replace the Koolbloom with AN Overdrive, then 14 day water flush, and chop!

Pics-1st pic is the Blueberry Kush, 2nd are 2 Lemon Skunks, 3rd pic is the Smurfberry, 4th is Blue Venom, and last is the heat stressed Double Diesel.

Comments or questions are welcome, fellow growers!! puff,puff,pass!! protopipe1

Hey bro', I use the lucas formula of 8ml Flora Micro per gallon, and 16ml Flora Bloom per gallon, and I use the Koolbloom and FloraNectar at 5ml per 2 gals. the first bloom feeding. I will increase them by another 5mls each, the next feeding. If it is known as sensitive to nutes, keep it at the lower dose. protopipe1

Thanks for stoppin' in on my gj, bro'! Today is day 19 in the Smurfberrys life, and I fed her her first light blooming feeding (15ml Flora Micro, 20ml Flora Bloom, 5ml Koolbloom and FloraNectar, 30ml Sensiyme, 5ml Cal-Mag.), she likes the moderate nutes, so far! I will get some pics in a few days, as soon as my White Russian goes in her waterfarm! puff,puff,pass! protopipe1

I upgraded my 6 waterfarms with airstones, and am using a new dual diaphragm pump that runs all airstones and drippers with a valve shut off that is very simple (and the pump is very quiet).

The girls are all growin' well, and healthy! I had to LST the DDiesel as it kept gettin' burned on the top. I'll be adding the White Russian to the last waterfarm in a day or so!

Pics-1st pic is Blue Venom day 14 veg, 2nd pic is the DDiesel, 3rd pic are the 2 Lemon Skunks day 10, 4th pic is Smurfberry day 20, 5th pic is Blueberry Kush day 3, and last pic is the new pump!

Thanks again for all my fellow growers/tokers for stoppin' in!! protopipe1

Hey all, hope you had a nice holiday weekend!

I culled the DDiesel, it wasn't growin' well, as it had poor root development due to my overwatering before dialin' in my coco feedings (was goin' 3x a day, now 1x and they are healthy annd happy girls!).

The others are all growin' well, and I am adding a pic of my Barney's Nightshade that is in the 16th day of flower, I had overwtaered her too, but she has recovered,not pretty lookin', but her buds will be potent when she is done!

My next grow will be 2 Barney's Blue Cheeses, and 2 G13 Pineapple Expresses, that I will take clones off the strongest of each strain, and then put them in 2 larger waterfarms under my 400 HPS. I'll veg for 2-3 weeks and then flower all those bitches out!!

In my small tent, I will be growin' 1-auto Russian Rocket Fuel (a strong indica crossed with NYCD), and I will have my Daisy Cloner in there too!

Pics-1st pic is the Blue Venom, week 3 veg, 2nd pic are the 2-Lemon Skunks, day 14, 3rd pic is the Smurfberry, day 20, 4th pic is the White Russian, day 3, 5th pic is the Blueberry Kush, day 7, and last is the bud shot of Barney's Nightshade. Thanks for stoppin' by! protopipe1

Hey raiderman, thanks for stoppin' by, my man! I have a 600 digital too, but not air-cooled though. I love the 600s too, when you upgrade you always think "How did I try to grow with this little light?!". The 600 is intense, compared to the 400! Did you have a good 4th? I am sure you will be a happy camper when you are moved to your new spot! protopipe1

yea be glad to fini up and move..another way to hep cool the light is get a 1o or 12 inch reg. fan and point it at the bottom of the glass, allowing heat off it to go else where making it a bit cooler at the canopy of yuor plants .. my 400 from yrs ago i did and got fatass tops .was able to keep the light 8 inches with a canopy temp. of78 to 82F, the closer the ligh the denser the buds,,but yu dont move it close till yur at around 28 days flower,then drop it, it may take 2 or 3 days to adjust to the light close and watchem blow out and produce rok hard intense buds..:leaf:raider.

Stoners, come out and playay!!

The 6 girls are all healthy and well!

Pics-1st pic is Smurfberry, day 26 and 17" tall, 2nd pic are Lemon Skunks, day 21, 3rd pic is Blueberry Kush, day 14, 4th pic is White Russian, day 10, pic 5 is Blue Venom, week 4 veg, pic 6 is Kushberry just 2 days old!!

UPGRADE time next grow: I ordered a GH Rainforest 318, so I will veg 1-G13 Pineapple Express, 1-Sagarmatha Double Bubbleberry, and 1-Barneys Blue Cheese. When big enough I will take 4-6 clones off each and put them in the Rainforest to harvest. I will flower the clones under the 600, and the other 3 ladies under the 400, and I will add another 150 watt HPS as they get further into flower!!!!

Thanks for stoppin' in...now its time to wake n bake, puff, puff, pass!! protopipe1

lookin nice and lush and bushy. when will you bring on the flowering area :)
Hey dbo! Thanks for checkin' in...I am in the beginning stages of a combined auto/reg grow, so there are 4 autos, under the 600 watt HPS. The Smurfberry is 26 days and ready to flower, the 2 Lemon Skunks are at day 21 and also ready, the Blueberry Kush is 14 days and will flower in a week or so, and the White Russian is on day 10.

I have 2 reg plants: 1-G13 Blue Venom, at week 4 veg, and 1 Kushberry at Day 2!

My plan is to let the autos flower and let the regs veg until the last of the autos is through it's 5th week of flower, then flip the lights to 12/12 to start the flowering process in the regs, while being late enough in flower not to affect the yield/quality of the autos finishing up!

I have a second tent where I am waiting for my auto Russsian Rocket Fuel to germ, then it will go in there. On my next grow I will keep the auto grow in the small tent. p

Hey thanks bro', comin' from the King of Dank, that means a lot!! My last grow was my first time usin' coco/hydroton mixed medium, and as the plants got bigger I upped my feeding from 1 to 3 x/day, and they all started to suffer. I was watering more frequently before to keep my reservoirs from gettin' stagnant (or so I thought). SO this time around I only feed 15 mins., 1x/day. That and the airstones have made a big difference. So, I have er dialed in now. Thanks, puff,puff,pass! protopipe1

I bought a General Hydro Rainforest 318 off ebay, so my next grow I'll be usin' the rainforest to grow clones to harvest. Clones will be takin' from Sagarmatha Doublebubbleberry and G13 Pineapple Express.

I also bought a used Sun System 1000 watt HPS ballast, 1-1000 watt dual-arc bulb, and 1-1000 watt HPS back up bulb.

So next grow I will be usin' the dual arc 1000 watt and the 600 digi! Should be fun.
I am puttin' in a new carbon filter in my small tent. Smell is takin' over this apt. so I need a new filter.

Pics-1st pic is Smurfberry day 32, who I found out is heat sensitive, so I moved the 600 away from her! 2nd pic is the White Russian day 16 and tomorrow is day 1 of flower. Pic 3 is the Blueberry Kush day 3 flower, pic 4 are Lemon Skunks day 3 flower, and last is Blue Venom, day 3 flower.

No pics of Kushberry...as it is still rootin'! p
