Love the 250w thread...
Here is a couple of pics from the last grow..
Room is 5ft wide, 3.5 deep, nearly 4ft heigh.














I've started to do SCROG now, also new digital ballast on the way, the relatively new magnetic ballast making some what of a noise now... (room in wooden shed out in back garden in built up area...:o)

Hopefully get a few pics up of the scrogs i have going at the moment..
As you may or may not know but scrog is really more of canapy not wopping colas..
This isn't all lobbing your cock out and seeing which one is biggest.. no.. no.. all about the amount you get... little nuggets as such... due to me having phorieses (cant spell but its a skin condition)and a bad back, this will help with a bit of relief.

Wow those plants look great. What strain are those plants with the purple looking buds? They look delicisious.

Here is a few pics of my White Rhino plants at close to 3 weeks since they showed sex. Man i wish i would have cloned these two plants because these are my last ones until i buy more seeds. I also have 2 Hindu Kush that are the same age but they are starting off really slow compared to the WR. I think i am going to order some fem WR and find a couple good mothers. My flowering room is 4ftx4ftx4ft. And i have my light mounted verticle in the middle of the room and i use a cooltube that exhausts the room through it and out my roof. I have an intake running a pc fan that blows cool air in the room. My temps when the light is on never goes over 79f and the lowest it gets when light is off is 71f. The humidity is usually from 48%-54%. I usually veg my plants in a another little hidden room that measures 21inX31inX5ft high. I veg under cfl's for just over 2 weeks and move them directly in the flowering room. My last grow is did, the WR finished in 8wks so i am hoping these ones will be ready around Sept 7th. The 7th is just 2 days shy of 9 complete weeks flowering. The Hindu Kush will probably finish a few weeks later from the looks at how slow they are starting. Well here is the pics from tonight. OH Yea, i still have alot more mylar to put up on the walls. Just have not got around to doing it. I really only check on these plants one time a day and that is usually only when the light first comes on for the day. I used to sit and watch my plants all the time but now i just check them once a day and i can really see how much they grow each time i check them. Well sorry for the long post.

Why you have your light vertically...??
Click to expand...
Having my light verticle allows me to actually use my limited height in my flowering room. I can only grow plants that are closer to 2ft tall by the time you take into account the loss in height i lose by my pots and the light being mounted up top. I could barely get 4 good size plants under the light with it mounted horizontally and the plants were too close together and i was only getting good tops and good buds on the tops of the branches. Hanging the light verticallly lets me grow 31in tall plants that i top when vegging. and i am able to place 6 plants around the light at just the right distance and each plants gets the most light it possibly can and they are doing extremely well. Even the lowest branches are producing just as big of buds as the upper branches. I use stanless steel wire and twisty ties to place each branch where i want them and i never put a branch where it blocks another from light. Doing it like this allows you to almost yield as much as a scrog grow. This is basically a verticle scrog grow without the netting or wire fence. You can see from the pics that i posted tonight just how well they are doing for only 3wks of flowering.

Well good job. Those are some of the most beautiful buds i have seen in a long time. How do they taste and what is the high like? So far the White Rhino is the best i have grown in a couple years. It really knocks me on my ass.

The plants showed they was female on July 14th. I will let them go for as long as it takes for them to finish. I just hope to have them harvested and dried before Sept. 19th. I was some for my birthday. LOL But from how the first ones finished i should be ok this time. I will take pics of the Hindu Kush tonight. It is really short and bushy. They showed there sex on july 16th.

The temps outside of my closet is 70f the temps in my grow closet goes from 71f when the light is off to 70f when the light is on. The temps in the area outside you grow tent is a big factor in what temp you closet, grow tent will be. Just make sure that you have good ventilation and a good intake and you should be able to work with it.

Litljohn. Make sure you have a fan to get the air into the grow box and an oscellating fan to move the plants around a little and your grow box should be able to be about room temp.

Cheers bud I'll bear it in mind...
The sun clears it up no end, but where i am on this planet even in the summer months we are lucky to get 4 days of sun in a row.

Still, no point moaning about it as in my eyes, there is alot of people worse off than me..:-|

Have to say, they were really really sweet tasting... almost like smoking candy..
The high was a bit annoying because anytime I smoked it I wanted to do something or make something for the hell of it... Wasn't a couch lock at all..

Hi guys,
I need some help.
I'm growing a strain I've never grown before and I'm kind of getting nowhere with it.
Right now I just entered day 1 of flowering after 6 weeks of Veg. (pretty long I know).
But my leaves are dying and I tried to bring the plant to full health before entering flowering.
Still my plant isn't doing too well.

Water/Nutrients PH: 6.1
PH soil: 5.4

I thought the leaf issues were due to overfeeding the plant and they were getting burned.
So I lowered the amount of nutrients in the reservoir and the problem in my opinion became worst.. So I flushed the soil gave them 48 hours and restarted the normal routine..
The problem persisted.. Temperature is around 30ºC and RH usually 50%.
Someone told me it's a P deficiency and it still looks like Nutrient burn to me.. but I'm giving them the required amounts.
I'm growing White Rhino's.. and as you can see the tips of the leaves are all yellowing out, slightly fading..
Do any of you believe this is a deficiency or overfeeding?

Btw. I just removed all the lower yellow and dead leaves so it looks way better then it actually is..
But since I started to flower I lolipopped it..
