week 5.5 flower i hurt them pretty bad didnt check my ph it was 5 and over did the nutes cant really tell in this pic thats why i posted it lol

i have very good ventilation, so heat from the bulb really isn't an issue. I was told by a friend though that the light spectrum given off by a 600 watt bulb is actually better at say 2.5 feet rather than 1.5 feet away from the plants-- kind of like how a sound wave needs 8 ft. to complete its period. I was just hoping someone had some scientific evidence to back it up, i can't seem to find any. i tend to only trust scholarly journals or from the vets i know.

My plants are black jack (black domina x jack herer) from clone. the pics there are two weeks into flower. i started the grow april 3rd from pretty sorry clones but it's been doing well. i have a full journal if anyone is interested. i know i had lots of questions at the beginning so i try to post anything that may be helpful.

I'm not scientific or a veteran grower. I been going a year now... but I am convinced closer the light to the buds = tighter, denser, more resiny buds. Close as you can get is the game for me. And I think I'm doing good. Bomb ass nugs if I do say so myself, lol.

Here's the final video for this grow... I think. Love to all the classic 600 members and a hearty welcome to the newcomers. It's a blast in here.

do u have any pics of that before harvest? how many plants? what strain?

you're not curing your bud with light on it are you?

the link is in my sig to the grow, nah i don't cure with the lights that stuff hurts the THC on tha buds. 5 plants in 3 gallons the journal was day by day took 100 days total. Strain was a unknown sativa strain i grabbed from a 45.00 sack. the smell is fruity and the taste is not completly developed w/o curing, right now its a almond coffee taste never had it come out that way before, but this strain was random. the ash is white as schoolbook paper. that makes me happy the 24 day flush paid off, i can't cough on this shit no matter how much i inhale. woot woot.

No its not true Bongkong. My purp mother has been shooting hairs for months and shes still putting out clones under 18/6. The time to flower is really when ever you want. The smaller the plant is when forced to flower the shorter it will remain. Obviously if you veg for a good length you can get a larger yield. But ive tried this too and have had plants grow right into my lights and fry. Remember most strains will double in size or even triple after 12/12 photo peroid is induced. Really just when ever you are ready to flower. Peeps over here do all kinds of whacky experiments and all have great sucess. Hope this helps dude. Peace 1BMM

I agree, I got all my clones in the greenhouse, they are not even on 18/6, just natural lights from gods own 600 watter. They are also shwoing first hairs but I am going to keep veggin them for a few more weeks until my flower tent is empty. Harvesting is going to start new week, first flush at the weekend for the 8 weeker (Casey Jones) then mid week will flush the HB's (the 8-9 weekers) then the OG Kush girls that are always better left into the 9th week, then the Blackjack and NY47 the follwing week. By that time I will have added some new girls to the flower tent so it's almost like that word that gets bantered about, Perpertual.....something about that word that I don't like!!!!

Have a good day peeps,

DST

I thought that if you kept your mothers in a 24hour cycle it was better so that they can not flower. From what I understand, you give the plants some night for a good root system to make bigger buds. If youre using clones and mothers what would you need to make a fat root system fast?? With time it will get that way right?? Thanks for the info on the preflowering....I guess Im too late I already put it into 12/12 cycle today ehhh what can you do??

Just put it back into veg cycle, 1 day won't do it harm.......

 

[BongKong420]

maybe I will but I might just keep it in there. I mean it is a foot tall and its been vegging for 5 weeks now how long do you guys veg yours. I let my OG get to 24 inches before I flowered it and it only took a month to get that tall but it hasnt even grown 10 inches since then.....

i was doing a little cleaning in my room lastnight and found,,,,, f&*#ing spider mites on 1 of my jtr's!! little bastards. they had already spun a web on her. the girls were due for a serenade bath yesterday, but got an azamx bath instead. it's amazing how fast those things can get into your grow. i spent a few hours last weekend checking everything over and didn't see anything other than a few daddylonglegs.
i also reconfigured my set up lastnight and i've decided to switch up my reflectors to cooltubes and add a ac to the room that pull my intake air to try to fix the heat issues i've been having. i'm only running 1 light in the box right now, and with the door open with me working in there and the regular house lights on, the box got up to 89 degrees. hopeing to have everything switched out by next week, as i have 10 babies itching to to go in the box.

 

[DST]

good luck with the mites mrheadie, hopefully those babies you got are not itchin because of mites......ooooh-er, I have come over all itchy meself, lol. Fekkin hate mites!!!

lol. every time i have to deal with these little chits, i feel like they are crawling all over me when in the box cleaning the walls. i checked the mother/clone box and didnt see a one on any plants. i sprayed them anyway just to make sure. the azamax works great (once u figure it out). i'll hit them every 3 days for 12 days and they should be all gone. whew,, just realized how blazed i am (and im at work). i wanted to let a buddy try some of the blue haze bubble hash i made, so packed a small piece in a bowl. only took 2 rips and i'm,,,, well, ripped! my buddy said he's done working for the day and he's going fishing!

Whats good peeps. Just got back from a nice 8 mile hike in the rolling wilds of my local. I found an absolutely perfect spot for my next batch of clones. Its only accessible by foot and a will to hike in some heavy brush. Its got a fresh water sping running near by. I got my Adavanced Nutrients Heavy Harvest in lastnite. Im excited to see what these nutes will do.

Got some rooted blue widow,purps,lemonskunk & strawberry haze clone just itching for this spot. Ill report the progress. Peace 1BMM.......

Mr DST is right. You can still reveg if you wish. I look at he 24/7 light cycle situation like this. If i was run ragged 24/7 I wouldnt perform as good as i could with a few hours rest. Thats why i let my mothers and veggers get some by god rest. Nature dont stay daylight 24/7 unless your in Alaska. So plants need rest as all living things do to live up to there full potential. jus my opinion. 1BMM peace
