Nice, I'll have to see if I can even get my hands on some. I found a place online where I can buy a case of 24 with shipping and crazy taxes for under $5 a can US sound a little on the pricey side. I think I'll go check some import shops.
Ouch not looking good just watched the krauts score their third.

Day 24 of 12/12
hello people, thought it was about time for an update
not much really going on at the minute , as usual the loft is still hanging around the 100 mark and has been for about 2 weeks now, its torture up there watering them its so hot like being in a sauna dripping with sweat lol but the plants are doing fine.
they are gulping down 4 liters of water each every two days!! both are getting 4ml of bloom and 2ml of grow per 1 liters of water, the re-veg is getting 3 liters of water at the same strength as the others.
i have been seriously been considering buying a 400w hps as the 250watter isnt powerful enough as the TW and BB are to big, but i may know a couple people that may have a 400w or a 600w i could borrow to finish this grow with.
i got quite a few of each plant for you to see, they are quite big now so i have used a normal size BMX as size comparison
first up today is the Train wreck

well first thing a big thankyou to shrigpiece for lending me a 400w ballast and hps bulb for this grow, thanks shrig
what can i say!! wow that 400w is a massive improvment, so much brighter and the light is penetrating all the way through the canopy awesome
i just disturbed their dark period for a minute until the bulb warmed up and then i stood there for 5 mins checking out how bright it was!!!
i think i will be purchasing a 400w kit as soon as i got some money spare i cant imagine how bright a 1000w is!! or even a 600w lol and i have removed the cfl's now, so just the 400w hps and im only using 15w more for an extra 23,000 lumens
i will get some pics up tomorrow after work

Thought I'd stop in & see how you were looking since I have a few trainwrecks in the garden. Those are some nice size plants. I should've just gone 12/12 from the start with a 400 watt hps but I've learned my lesson for next time. + rep have a stoney holiday weekend.

Hi mate,
Looking great, really getting big now. The reveg is my favourite, just look at that stem! Glad you got to try a 400 over those 3 beasts, it will make a difference for sure. Looking forward to the new pics.

Hey Tam, can I borrow the 400W when your done.lol I am stoked to see what they are gonna do. I was teatering between a 250w and a 400w and watching your results I am sure will make my mind up for me. Only difference is I am going with the CMH bulb because of their par value and the wide spectrum they produce vs a regular HPS.

hi rombomb420, your growing trainwreck as well!! is it from Green house seeds?. mine was vegd for 6 weeks and when i switched to 12/12 it was only 3 inches tall but nearly covered the bucket lol she took of totally.Thought I'd stop in & see how you were looking since I have a few trainwrecks in the garden.

cheers for the rep and i shall have a very good weekend
good to see you mate
i am pretty excited for her aswell, last time she went 10.5 weeks of 12/12 i wonder what she will do this time? last time she gave me a very easy ounce and she looks very promicing with the 8 colas she has we will have to wait and see.i think i may use her as an experiment and continue to re-veg her harvest after harvest, like you mentioned that bloke on HG420 that had just 2 plants for over 5 years, it sounds awesome to me. im really loving the smoke from her aswell which is whats making this even better lol.

Day 28 of 12/12
hey guys not much to report at the minute, all the plants are doing great and all looking super green still. they are still being fed 1ml of grow per 1000ml of water.
lots and lots more pistels by the day, re-veg is doing great and had another stretch over the last couple days.
im really excited about all of these and cannot wait until i have some buds to take some macros shots!!
like i said about the re-veg, shes gonna keep going for aslong as i can keep her going. harvest after harvest year after year if you get me. i really like this reveg thing. and a big thanks to you MS for giving me the idea.
