beautiful. great job snutter. wish there was a smell transfer protocol for the net...

 

[smokebros]

sooo sick !

 

[Yaboii]

Ya looks really good Bro...

 

[Michael Phelps]

So, what do you all think??? I'm happy... heheheh.

I'm stoked that I was finally able to show you guys some pics that actually capture the color of my flowers and show off a little bit of the trichomes...

Harvest won't be long now everyone...

-S

PS
Remember a few posts back when I was saying that they almost are frosted white looking because there is so much trichome production???? I really hope that you can see that when viewing these pics on this site. Because you can see it perfectly on the camera... *fingers crossed*

Man those are so resinous! Holly shit those are some good lookin ladys, one of those has gotta qualify for the high times centerfold shot.

Props bro!

Hey all,

I know that people don't always take the time to check every message on every page of a thread, so I thought I'd post this again:

Strain: White Rhino.
Medium: Hydroton Rocks.
Growing style: DWC!
Nutes: General Hydroponics Flora Micro and Flora Bloom using Lucas Formula.
Additives: Super Thrive during veg, Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) during Flower.
pH: 5.3 to 5.6 never above 5.8 or below 5.3
ppm: 800 to 1200 general range.
DWC reservoir size: 18 gallons filled to 12 with nutrient solution.
Feeding schedule: Fresh nutes after 12 gallons of fresh water has been added. usually takes 12 days to 2 weeks since they drink about a gallon of water a day.
Lights: 2- 60W full spectrum for clones; 1 - 400W Metal Halide for veg; 5 - 400W HPS in flower room.
Light Schedule: Clones - 24hr/day; Veg - 24hr/day; Flower - 12/12
Temps: 75 degrees lights on; 60 degrees lights off.
humidity: sitting perfectly in the normal range right around 50% to 60%
Size of grow rooms: Veg/clone room - 8' x 8' x 8'; Flower room - 7' x 8' x 15' (840 cubic ft. of space).
How long Veg'd: 2 months (I won't be veg'ing any longer than 5 weeks from now on. This strain has explosive growth, so long veg time is not necessary for a good harvest).
Expected harvest: 3lbs. But I am hoping to get 4lbs. out of these monster plants. It's looking like it'll be closer to 3lbs, but that's super cool to me!!!

I've been asked these questions a few times, so I thought it would be a good idea to update it here again as well....

Be cool!

Yo man, signed up so i could see these pics and im glad i did. I saw a DWC in a 15 gallon rubbish bin and it was no where near as big or bushy as this so i think the geometry of those tubs is perfect, not to high with plenty of space around the sides.

At the same time i think you could get fatter buds but i don't have enough experience to tell anything. A few factors that im sure you've considered; over crowding, co2, flower boosters and forcing solutions.

Definitely take the advice about the pop corn, either hang a vertical bulb or do a bit of lollypopping, i personally think the bulb is more your style as this set up seems to be about reducing labour somewhat but ive seen lollypopping push huge colas out the top.

No matter what you choose i would suggest rotating the plants a quarter turn each day, this will help side lighting.

Also wanted to say that snuta has been really kind to everyone in this thread and ive totally appreciated that as i read every page of this thread.

Three cheers for my first post, definitely a worthy place to put it!

Hopefully i remember to come back and check out the yield.

Damn those sure are frosty Nice grow ......curious on how much you'll be pulling off those monsters so I'll be waiting on updates just like everyone else...

 

[laserbrn]

Those plants look REALLY good, I had no idea that White Rhino had that kind of potential. I might have to pick some of those up.

Did I see correctly that you have 4 plants under a 400w light and you think you're going to get 3-4 pounds? Did I miss something here?

Plants look really good brotha.

Hello Friends and fellow growers. well for the last few days I've been promising to send out some pictures of my trichomes/flowers. well, I FINALLY I was able to take those pictures. And I'm happy to say that they turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! Now, I want to point out one thing. I was only able to take pics of the smaller "outside" buds. The buds that are directly under the lights are bigger, and have even more trichome production. but, it's harder to get a picture that shows the trichs and colors of the flowers off...I was able to get one big bud pic that looks pretty good though. And even that one is no where near as big as my biggest colas!!!

So, what do you all think??? I'm happy... heheheh.

SAFE SNUTTER.NICE PLANTS?HOWEVER I WOULD DELEAF SOME AS BY YOUR PICS YOU CAN CLEARLY C JUST THE TOPS ARE GETTING ALL THE LIGHT,AND HOW BUSHY YOUR STRAIN IS THERE IS NO LITE GETING DOWN MORE LITE POWER MATE 2 X400 OR 1600 N 400 OR 1000 REALLY PENETRATE THEM TO ACHIENE YOUR YIELD.I WOULD B DISSAPPOINTED IF I DIDNT PULL MIN15 PER PLANT

Hi guys...to answer the question you both asked, no it's not just one 400W HPS light. I have FIVE 400W HPS lights in my flower room, and am hoping to get 3lb's from 4 plants. I don't know if I'll hit this mark or not....But, I have learned a lot from doing this grow by myself. The master grower that i lived with and learned from did a lot of things on his own while I was relegated to the BS work...

I will be doing a full on grow journal thread after I move these 4 plants out and get my next plants in there (I already have 2 in there, off to the sides...it's crowded now). I will be doing a few things differently with them, which I will talk about in that thread....But, these things will all be to try and increase yield. I hope you guys will subscribe to that thread as well. I'll post a link to it on this thread once we've finished cutting, drying/curing, and weighing these plants to see what kind of yield i got. And of course I will be giving you all a very in depth smoke report. heheh..

Take it easy everyone...see ya soon.

hey psuedoj udo, thank you for stopping by and checking my grow out man!! I appreciate it. And thank you for the kind words, i appreciate them even more!

You have some very good advice here, and to tell you the truth I've been thinking a lot about a few of the things you mentioned.

I would love to get vertical tube lighting going, but I'm already above 2500 watts of light, and adding any more sorta scares me because of power consumption.. so I might try lollipoping... Or figure out some way to get more side lighting. Because one thing I'm sure of, I'm losing A LOT of potential bud from the underdevelopment of these side colas...

CO2 will be part of my next flowering phase. I will be talking about it when I start a new thread for the new plants that will be replacing these 4. 2 of them are already done veg'ing, 1 is very close to being ready to move in, and the other is not far off either... So, I'll be able to try a lot of new things.

I don't know much about bloom boosters. I'm weary to try much more nutrient-wise than I am already doing. I see people adding bullshit to their plants in threads here, and then boom they have problems. What I'm doing is working quite well, and I don't have any problems....I like that. But, i will do some hard core research / thread surfing / reading about bloom boosters and see what I think about it after that. But like I said, GH nutrients, super thrive, and epsom salt have served me well so far... I'm an open minded guy tho, so we'll see...

Again, thanks for stopping by. Your input (as well as everyone elses) is ALWAYS appreciated!!!

Still here bro, the girls looking amazing. Will def check out the next one as well. I'm kinda curious about the changes.........

 

[Miss MeanWeed]

Do a Heath Robinson and stick some lights on the sides works for him he grows fuckin TREES

actually each plant has it's own 400W hps light above it. at the moment, I have five 400W lights in the flower room, but will be going back down to 4, and adding the other light to my veg room...

I will definitely take your advice about de-leafing my plants. I think you have a very solid point there dude! thanks.

When I lived with the master grower who taught me, I saw 16oz's come off of one plant, and it was not much bigger than a couple of mine. I'm hoping that 2 of the 4 yield close to that by themselves... But can't say for sure if they will.. Time will tell. I'm only a few days away from harvest. I will definitely report the final weight.

Thanks for the advice and stopping by.

Looks excellent! There must be some good genetics behind those seeds, where did they come from? Remember this though - most growers harvest too early and very few harvest too late. When you check trichs make sure you are taking samples from several locations from each plant and then sort of averaging those together to come up with percentage cloudy and amber. I like to wait for 25%+ amber. Congrats on what looks to be an epic grow!

 

[jaymo4]

Wow those are looking great dude, looking forward to hearing the final numbers and make sure you link your next journal here so I can follow! Im convinced to try DWC after my current grow

Hey illegal smile... So, the guy i learned from had this strain. He got it from a few clones from a friend of his. And I got my clones from my buddy (that i lived with and learned form).. So, I'm not at all sure where the seeds came from. But, I KNEW the genetics were spectacular from having lived with my buddy and growing this strain with him while living there. I don't see him very often any more, but the next time I do, I will ask if he knows where the strain originated.

And I hear ya on harvesting too soon. I will not make that mistake, but thank you very much for re-iterating that excellent advice (listen to what he has to say here people, he's correct!). Like you said, a lot of people do harvest too soon. I think that it gets hard to for people to wait, and they figure "close enough." Which is so untrue... No such thing as close enough. Anyways, I do understand what to look for in the trichomes before harvesting at the correct time. adding to what you said, I also like to see about 75% red hairs to 25% white hairs as well. That is also a good indicator. But trichome colors are the best indicator of ripe pot!!!

Thanks for checking out my grow. I believe I will do even better on my next one.... Well, I am going to try hard, anyways. heheh.

Take it easy man!

Just saying hi, nice work, we're all here still watching. That white rhino looks good to grow, hope that smoke hits hard, is it known as a heavy yielder?
