Club 600

[DST]

that's pretty much it, it ain't rocket science....well not in my grow room anyway, more like Duct tape science!!! And yeh, you then start thinking, I could put a few more there, and one up there, and another here....and by the time you realise, you are watering 20+ plants each water/feed day....

good luck with it whatever you decide. And keep us all posted?

Peace, DST


p.s. A wee tip:if you hit the button on the right handside of each persons post you want to reply to (the multi quote button which is on the right of the Reply with quote button) then with the last post, "hit reply with quote, " You can reply to everyone in the same post...not that it really matters, some people just get a bit antsy when people post multiple posts one after another......

I think the buckets are like 12 inches in diameter but I will have to measure them tomorrow. I have a cool tube with a 6 inch 500cfm inline fan pulling through it and a carbon filter. Temps stay around 80 degrees. I love that cooltube. My setup is not perfect so keeping it 80 is good. I originally was only going to do 9 plants, probably would have been better off. Im used to more is better, but outdoors is different than indoors. I miss my big outdoor monsters. I appreciate the input and I am interested in vertical grows. I guess you just hang your lights vertical instead of horizontal, with no reflectors, just inside the cool tube, am I correct? And then some kind of shelves around the outside at about mid level to set more plants on around the outside of the tent? Hmm then I could probably fit more than 12, someone stop me. lmao

So I may be joining the 600 club here soon.

Right now I have a super stealth 150w HPS cab going which is nice and all but its just not big enough and I want/need more quantity and variety.

I got a hell of a deal on a Homebox L grow tent 1mx1mx2m or roughly 3.3'x3.3'x6.6' and a 600w HPS with air cooled reflector and lumatek adjustable ballast for $367.50! All I need to get still for that setup is a 6" inline, carbon filter, and 6" ducting and I could have that up and running. Only thing is I dont really know how stealth it would be to have a massive black box in the corner of my bedroom instead of a wood wardrobe. Also I dont know how loud the 6" inline is going to be. I do plan on getting a Speedster or similar speed controller for the fan. I have all the fertilizers, gadgets, soil, and seeds that I need to complete a larger scale grow but I am kind of concerned about stealth at this apartment.

What do you guys think about what inline to get, etc. Also maybe if you could give me an idea of how loud you think a 6" inline turned down with a speed controller would be while maintaining enough airflow to keep a 600w cool in my space 3.3 sq ft?

Thanks guys

I really want to join the club I just need to get the balls to put the setup together I guess. Just couldnt pass up on the hella deal that I got so if nothing else I will use the equipment in the future for sure maybe after I move out of this place when my lease is up.

PS Plants are looking lovely 600 watters!!!

Yeah I was mostly joking about the more plants thing. thanks for the info.

DST, Gravity is made by Humboldt nutrients. If you can't find it in the EU, I'll gladly send you a bottle, it's the least I can do after the pet D-OG you sent me.

And being the techno wizz I am, thanks for the tip about the multi-quote, my ego would not allow me to ask how you guys do that multiple answers in one post. And that thing about people posting multiple times in a row...I'm guilty.

 

[Heads Up]

And just to prove I'm guilty, here's another post right after the last one. I'm off to the dentist again today to get the last two upper teeth in my head removed. Looks like bread and water for the next few weeks until my new teeth will arrive. I can hardly wait, I'll have star teeth, they only come out at night.

As far as your box looking stealth in the corner of your room, forget it. Unless you are going to put it inside another cupboard. So that part I don't think any of use can help you with, as you said, you gotta get the balls to put it up.
Now as for the fan, that's a different matter. I got a Ruck125L for my 600 and I got a 400 in there with the same fan. Now when i powers up it makes as you can imagine quite some noise, and if you are sucking air clean through it then that also produces noise. Attach a carbon filter to the bottom and you will hear ir reduce. Hang your fan or attach it to as little as possible, more friction causes more noise. My fan actually just sits on top of one of my cool tubes and is kept in place by the chains that hang down the side, not ideal but it doesn't touch walls or surfaces....so not bad. I think this also depends on when you are going to run it, do you sleep in the room? what happens in the room during the day, traffic wise? More info, more answers, always good to have someone throwing up another grow. Good luck and hope to see you back.

I'll check out the sites and may well take you up on that. Jig also offered but it's a hellova weight to be sending through the post. I think Don got some from sonewhere, will tugg his shirt tale whens he's around. Thank you very much for the offer, it's appreciated. And no problems about the multiples HeadsUp, we know you are guilty of it, hahahaha...but it's all good.

LMAO, Star Teeth!!! Good luck mate.

Pics of the DOG coming up, this is what we gotta shoot for.

Most every work day I'm painting in 'The Villages'. It's a huge retirement community. They have their own everything, and I do mean everything. There has to be at least twenty golf courses in the place, two movie theaters, archery, a huge wood and garden shops along with a huge garden, bocci and shuffleboard courts everywhere and everyone drives around in golf carts. It's an amazing place. Anyway here are some pics on the way to work this morning. The back way into the place takes me down what I call the farm road. There used to be a dairy farm not far from me until the villages bought all the surrounding land. It used to be a beautiful drive in the mornings.

Gotta' run, the pain giver is waiting for me.

Must cost a pretty penny to stay there!!! The most you get normally in the UK is an emergency chain next to your toilet incase you collapse!!! Sounds like a dream....how long do you think you'd last before you throttled someone, lol.

So here's one of the DOG's I cut today. It's looking a lot like its parent. Now I don't know if it's shortness was due to the HB or just the way I grew it, but anyway, it was reasonably stumpy for an OG. It also seems to have finished quicker than the others.

THE DOG - Finshed product (well almost finished)


An accidental super crop....lol


The Chemchiesel, starting to smell a bit like the cheese...not as pungent at the moment though.



The little pot of cheese, and a couple of lumps of hash I made today with Headband schwag...


My cheese and Casey Jones clone..not so clone-ish anymore. Getting large....and a selection of OG's, Oscar clones (rooted in a couple of days, amazing) theres also the Exodus Blue Widow and some Thelma's. I also got some cheese clones rooting as I type. And right at the front you can see 2 Baby DPQ's (that took about a week to get through the dirt! but are here all the same) And a seed I found in the Blackjack that I am running to see if it comes out any different from the original (hiding under a leaf, you can't actually see it)

dif angle...


Laters, and enjoy your day!/evening...

[genuity]

that "DOG" is looking real nice,i was wondering if need'd to grow my plants the same way
the breeders do,to get that "pic perfect"buds!!.I mean will vegging a plant for 6-8 weeks change the genetic make-up
of a it??compaired to a plant vegg'd for only 4 weeks??.

that jus makes my chest hurt looking at it!!!!

 

[Heads Up]

Genuity, no matter how long you veg it isn't going to change the genetic make-up of the plant. If you grow from seed, regular seeds, the plant will not determine its sex until the third week of vegging and there are many factors that can influence the sex of a seed. I veg my plants long enough that they start to form pre-flowers. As soon as the males show themselves they get yanked and I usually veg the rest for five or six weeks before flowering. Personally I think the only difference between a plant vegged for five weeks and one vegged for eight is yield and to me it's just not worth vegging a plant for eight weeks, unless it happens to be outside.

Impressive DST.

well i knew by useing the word "genetic" my post would be misleading,
i know you can not change the sex of an plant!!
im talking more along the lines of bud formation/thc prodution?

 

[whodatnation]

I never have shared my veg room... which does have a 600 in it Its gonna get a makeover pretty soon Sorry but these are the bet up-close pics I could get of the bb kush... still not ready for cure due to the VERY slow dry Im going for.

What the jar of pickles that is now a weed container or the hash? hehe.

Re what you said, I think there is some difference but not sure if it would effect bud formation, etc.

Here's my experience on growing a strain differently. 2 Headbands I used to get cuttings from previously. All the clones I used when vegged for a few weeks then flipped into 12/12, so basically going from 18/6 to 12/12 without any sublte reduction in lighting, stressed the plants and made them throw out a few nanna's, which Headbands have the tendency to do. However, the 2 Moms went through an extensive veg period because they were moms and eventually were put into 12/12, and not one single nanna appeared.
If you do SOG and only veg your plants for a short time, you will not get many side branches, you will generally grow one cola, so this is changing the look of the plant and the way it forms it's fruit as another example....anyone have any other experiences?

Busy little veg room. I have shown my veg cab before, which is like a porta-loo, but at the mo I am using my whole house a a veg room. I ws actually thinking just this morning that I need to get the porta-loo back up due to the shortening in daylight hours.....

Nice work i havent shared my Veg room either lol. Most peeps wanna see some Bud action

The Green babies don't seem to have the same allour do they! But it is actually when the plant looks very beautiful.

Weekend is nigh!

Peace, DST
