Its been a tough couple days.
Kidneys acting up again and been unable to get out of bed.
Drank a bunch of cranberry juice and water, I'm getting better now.

We have had a tropical storm here in no cali the last couple days.
I got a call from my bud and he told me the dream team got squished by a fallen branch. The branch broke off a tree in the yard and fell on the screen. Tore it off the fence and bent the main stalks but didn't break them as part of the branch rested on the top of the fence. Its a mess. He has gone up there and removed the branch and re mounted the screen to the fence but he tells me the buds are pretty beat up and laying sideways. Looks like the worst of the storm has passed, rain off and on today and then we are back to sunshine. Hopefully some will be able to finish.

I was thinking about getting a CMH but thought I would ask someone who has used one for a while. Is it worth the double price over HPS, how are the colas under the CMH vs HPS. What are your thoughts on the CMH

Yeah that is why I am hesitating because I need to get a new ballast. I was thinking, if I am going to expand do it with CMH instead of HPS. I mean heaven forbid I end up with a digital ballast as a back up.

Hi Captain,

I just finished with the CMH but I have nothing to compare it to yet.
This round will be with Son Argo and I will have something to compare to.
Although this bulb is designed with 30% more blue light and it has 52k lumnes compared to 38k It is rated as an HPS.

CMH will still be there in the future, If you have a digital ballast, want more blue in your light and need to make a move now Maybe you should pick up a son agro for now.

Once I get weight from this grow and smoked some and then the next grow is completed I can give you a better opinion on CMH. Right now I would say it did fine.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thats true, I got a few hills between me and the sea.
I will tell ya something though, depending on what direction the storm is coming from, SF or Monterey, The wind come up through the valley pretty good. Its like a giant air conditioner in the summer.

Anyway, veggies are a little hungry. I don't remember the last time I added nutes to that cloner. I kept topping it off and setting the ph. I got them on 300 PPM of flora nova grow and there additive right now.

Shit happens, The fan wasn't lined up perfectly and I went to adjust it.
I forced the mount and pushed the yo yo holding the massive reflector.
Yea, the thing dropped. I grabbed it before it did too much damage to the girls but I topped the tallest PK with the edge of the thing. Well, it flattened it and I topped it to try and save it.

Thanks for letting me know.

I have noticed that about this strain. I have a lot of lower growth.
Maybe I wont get a bigger yield in this. I put the four PK in the center holes and the back. Then four train wreck in the front four holes.
I plan on adding a screen. I will train the TW from left to right and let the PK grow up through the center.

Thats the plan anyway.

The one I flattened/topped was one of the big ones. I got a small one that can take its place. Maybe I will just grow it a bit and cut it up for clones. I tossed three runt TW clones, good thing I saved that little PK.

Heres a shot,

i love looking at all these stealth boxes there so intresting lol nice work =)
Hi Josh,

Yea, they are cool arn't they. Durring the day you cant tell a thing. At night when the lights and fans are running you can barely hear it. Its about twice as loud as a computer fan so you can hear it when your right next to it. I just make sure the tv or stereo is on when I have people over.

Ok people I got weight.

First two jars are Train Wreck third is Widow and the last is the lower buds from them both.
These jars hold about two onces of dried bud.




They have been hanging for 5 days with a fan in there. They are not totaly dry but they are dry to the touch. I am going to jar them for a couple days to get any moisture deep inside the buds to transfer to the outter portion then put them into paper bags for a slow dry. Once thats done I will cure them in the jars.

5 Train Wreck plants for 106 grams manacured bud
2 White widow plants for 40 grams manacured bud.
Plus 20 grams of lower bud off both.

Total grow 166 grams of bud.

About a quarter oz shy of 6 OZ's
Although that was my goal I really didnt think there was that much there. Now I believe I can do better then six.

BTW, That train Wreck was the stickiest weed I ever trimmed.
I cant wait to try some but it will be a couple weeks yet.

Just wait till your bulb gets put in and all your plants get to reach maturity. If I can hit 9.75oz with mine, so can you. Have you ever looked into co2?
