nugs looking good bro, i really want to see this finish good for you.

let's get this cloning down. in the last shot, did you take any cuttings during flower, if so, i had a regen clone that took forever to take off, im talking two months veg, if you look at her now, the WWXNL, is the most intimidating plant ever!

were the clones roots white, or brown? how long did they take to root, did you use a heat pad, did they get o2 at all? the most important thing i think i do is phd 6.5 water, with a couple of drops of superthrive. that's it, no nutes! when it droops, less, or no light for 8-12 hrs. till they perk back up. keep them moist, not wet.
i hope this helps, i like that you havent given up, you cant, i believe in you bro,

i use superthrive in my entire cloning and veg process, basically everything but bloom.

thanks for helping lol. but they didnt really hace roots just a white clump were they were going to grow out,it was white. i had they on my laptop that kept it like 80* under there,in a humidity dome thing,getting o2. most of them died,i have like 8 or 9 still kicking. i think they will make it.

so right now im taking a break from building my second closet into a bloom room. ugh the stress,the mess lol. this is now(before) and when im done ill show an after.

 

[TheFucknChrOnic]

well guys the official bloom room is finished,after only half of the day lol. i had the 1000w hps in there,and if caused a real heat issue,so i put the 250w ballast and bulb back in for now untill i can get a much stronger inline fan with enough cfm's to suck out alll that hot air,the 165cfm i got now is no were near enough power to draw out that hot air. well here it is for now..ill keep updated about it

1000 watt closet grow, i love it! cant wait to see it work out for you with the bigger inline, good luck! 8-9 clones is still great, better than 0!

thanks man. ya some clones is better than no clones lol. but i hope that by upgrading to a bigger exhaust will be enough to keep the temps down,cause that 1000w is serious buisness..it gets over 110* in there with the 165cfm. maybe like a 400cfm and a strong fan blowing in there it will work out. thanks for the supprt!

i just started my first closet bloom. i already have the 600w hps 4x4x6 plywood bloom room. but it has a 8000 btu window air unit, and a 6" inline fan, 400cfm. i know my buddy on here has a 8" inline fan in his 400w bloom closet, it keeps the temps way down. im gonna have a 400w closet bloom with a 4" 200 cfm inline, i hope its enough. i need the humidity down, i dont care about the temps. but if needed, ill cut a hole out and add a window air unit in my closet, the perks of owning a house! a lot to think about, but i hope you figure it out. so imho, id try at least a 8" inline, which has gotta have like 600+ cfm, i only say that because i know my buddy has that cooling his 400w hps bloom closet, im here to help, hope you figure something out. setup looks pro though!

yea dude i was looking into the 6" today,finding a good price and what not,then i came across thisw little equasion that is the general rule of thumb as far as what inline would be adequate for what size room. i think it was like multiplying the dimensions. for example a 10ftx 10ftx 8ft room would need a 800cfm.
so im set on a 8" hydrofarm,i believe its like 750cfms give or take. so i figure that with some ocilating fans in there should be okay..ive learned with thuis grow that temps can push 90* and still not have much trouble the long as the tops dont bask in it,so guess ill just have to try and hope i wont have wasted 2-300 dollars i really cant afford to spend.. also the ballast for my 1000w is like kinda old and weighs like 50lbs lol. id like to upgrade to a lumatek 120/240v electronic ballast for the 1000w. mainly because of the heat it doesnt generate and the lower amount of amps it pulls..
and thanks i do kinda pride myself on the profesional graqde work i do when putting together these kinda of projects. i have set up freinds grow rooms in the past, guess all those years of home remodeling is coming in handy lol

ill try and get some new pics and a status report on them tomorrow night.

 

[Drella]

i hope the 8" works out for you, it sounds like it should. be wary of the humidity, im sure you will. it'd be awesome if you could get that lumatec, good luck.

yeah i know what you mean, i work on elevators all day, the work i do in the green rooms is all fun and games!

 

[TheFucknChrOnic]

so finaly an update..ive been so busy and stressed out i havnt had much time to RIU. but here it is,im in week nine of flower,and only the 1 white castle is looking near done. the other 3 still have a ways to go,they hardly have any red hairs and the trichs are mostly clear.
i also put a lemon skunk into flower on 2/28 and shes already passed up all the others in height.. i guess shes just happier than the others were during veg. here they are

 

[Drella]

wow bro, it looks amazing! i like the first pic! the lemon skunk looks like shes gonna be a fatty, keep it up bro!

 

[TheFucknChrOnic]

wow bro, it looks amazing! i like the first pic! the lemon skunk looks like shes gonna be a fatty, keep it up bro!

thank you.yea the lemon skunk does look like she is going to pack on some serious weight. and the first is the white castle that im still debating to chop this week or not..it said the flower time is 9-11 weeks. and now at week 9 the top half of the plant with all the big fat colas looks done,with 50-60% red hairs and mostly cloudy trichs few amber,while all the popcirn nugs from the lower half of the plant seem like they need more time. im thinking maybe chop the big top colas off and leave the rest for another week 2 weeks or so,ive herd of people doing that and saying the popcorn nugs turn into fattys.

 

[Drella]

yeah bro, if you got the room for the plant, keep her in as long as you can, id love to see the pics of the popcorns, then how fat they get in the harvest.

 

[TheFucknChrOnic]

ok so i was told by a freind that grows that if the pop corn nugs dont seem to be to fat i could chop the top half(main colas) of the plant,then throw the rest wit the little nugs back in the bloom room and that they would fattn up nicely. so i tried it,i choped all the fattys off and threw the rest back under the HPS. i wont know if its gna work or not for another week or 2, but from the colas i choped i got 140gs wet. check it outt, everyone tell me what you think!!
