Club 600

no 1000 huh????

 

[dangledo]

If you asked that, I missed it. they also run 600 watts.. Although they arent very broad in spectrum, they make up for it in intensity. I believe they make a halide as well.

Some nice looking buds in the 600 club. I have been busy for the past month with work and leisure, but my setup has been rolling perpertually. I have added Jack Herer to the indoor mix because the OD was soooo good. I was introduced to Jeannie Herer (Jack Herers wife) today, I made it quick but let her know I appreciate the help he gave the "movement". She looked like every stereotype of the old hippie chick, and was just as nice.

Wuts up 600!!!

Love this shot.

I am really not having a good night. Trimming up this bush and not liking what I see at all. Those big fat beautiful colas appear to be more leaf than bud. I trim out a leaf set and find another beneath it. Just unreal. These are going to end up being some airy buds. Oh well.

 

[ENDLSCYCLE]

Thanks man....Like someone said earlier....get all the fan leaves at the stem and then just trim into bud shape....and if it's coated in sugar...leave it!!!

Yeh, that is basically what I am doing now. Just wild that the buds were so dense and heavy, and when I dig into them it is just layer of leaf over layer of leaf and really airy small actual buds. Weird actually. But the hell with it, I'll just trim the fans and bigger leaves and then sculpt it into a nugget. No idea how the high on this plant is, but I might quick dry a bud tomorrow and give it a go. Just concerned about how it will cure out in regards to taste. But we shall see...

 

[Heads Up]

Jig, I'm with you, I'm anal about my trim jobs. I even take off as much bud as possible before I can't take any more off the tops which generally leaves me tops that are a couple of inches or so tall. I have yet to trim my LA top or my sleestack top, those look like they will be the biggest of the tops. So far so good, I'll have a total weight tomorrow after I finish the LA top and the whole sleestack. So without the top of the LA and the whole sleestack to go, I'm at 272 grams of finely trimmed bud. Now the real hard part starts, waiting for the cure to finish.

I'm about ready for the cloning to start. I've put the final touches on the cloner, cleaned it up a bit around the rough edges so the plugs fit nice and snug. I have an old computer desk that will just fit my thirty gallon overflow catcher tote that my ten gallon tote will sit in. I have two cfl's for light, two twelve inch air stones for oxygen in the water and six sprinkler heads for the clones to enjoy. I'll close the back off with cardboard and the front I bought a black sheet which I will double to keep the light leakage to a minimum. Tonight after four weeks of at least twenty hours of light each day for the mothers I've turned them back to eighteen hours with six off. Even though my mothers are only four weeks old, I'm topping them this weekend and cutting some of the lower branches also and starting the cloning endeavor. Tomorrow I'll fill the cloner and let it sit overnight to dissipate the chlorine and then ph it to about 5.5 and add a very light dose of tiger bloom. I'm thinking maybe 25ppm in five gallons of water and a little h2o2. Thoughts?

Quick question for all you 600 users, have you ever combined your grow with LEDs during flower?

I was planning an HPS/MH combo for my next set up but now contemplating an HPS/LED combo instead to avoid having to buy a ballast, hood, fan and bulb for the 400w mh setup. It will be for supplemental only

I ran some LED strips round the bottom of my grow for underneath the canopy. This was when I was horizontal with a 400 though. I think it just made me feel happier that there was some light penetration down there, as I had so many plants crammed into my small cab at the time. Not sure if it done anything to improve as I had always ran the set up with those lights on. Give it a go and let us know!

Hey Country, I am fearing the same thing will happen when I trim up my outdoor as well...probably going to make a start this weekend as the weather has started to trun shitty again.

Install it in your exhaust duct and you'll be fine. That way you and your plants get zero exposure and it gets to work on lots of stink.

thanks man im going to have to figure a way of putting it into the duct its going to be tricky i can tell, i use 5" i might make a makeshift box to fit two ends of duct to.

Donny Yes i have an ozone generator. It does work to kill the smell. It can also kill you in high concentrations, Such as opening up the grow room and getting a waft of O3 in the face. I have since been looking into an inline ozone burner that way the smell in the ducting gets the dose of ozone before exiting the house as clean non skunk smelling air.
The thing about portable ozone gens is it will casue lung irritation. First sign is a persistant cough. Then you know its on to high. Just a word of caution

thanks man yeah im more than a little concerned cos my girl has bad asthma tho if its being pumped outside it shouldnt be a prob.

on the plus side i think the smell is more to do with a leak in the duct, as a pal pointed out if i can smell the air fresheners and stuff aswell as the pot then the airflow is coming through somewhere other than the can filter.

awesome stuff dangledo i love serious seeds they are trully great breeders

To answer the question, no. However I have seen t5's hung horizontally to supplement two six hundreds and they do indeed help the lower buds fill out. If you're interested I can direct you to a site that has industrial high bay t5's. They use electronic ballasts and for a four tube fixture it's like a hundred and ten bucks but you have to buy the lamps and wire a cord into the light. Even with that it's still way cheaper than a so called grow light. A four tube puts out 20k lumens. A six tube t5 has two ballasts in it and gets rather warm, it would be better to buy two four tubers than one six. You'll still have two ballasts but you'll also have an additional ten thousand lumens and you can put a t5 within inches of your plants. I would look at the price comparison before I jumped in and bought led's.

 

[Heads Up]

Bajafox, here are a couple of pics of my t5. Four foot, four tube 54watt per tube for twenty thousand lumens. I'm using it for my mother plants and once the clones root I'll also veg them in the tent with the mothers before putting them into flower.

The light is something like seven inches tall, the one pic is of the access door to the ballast, as you can see I have a small fan blowing across the ballast area and the open end is where I wired a cord into the fixture. I'm burning two 6500k and two 4100k lamps in the fixture.

The girls are a bit droopy, they haven't finished their morning drink.

I had the same thing with my outdoor crop. They looked like huge colas until i started trimming. Out of 7 plants i got about a pound of bud. For some reason you get more leaves outside than in. Weird.

Another method that ive found works well, especially with outdoor bud as its not nearly as sticky as indoor. Just chop the whole plant pluck the large fan leaves and let it dry whole. Once it has had a few days or a week the leaves will actually kinda shrink wrap your buds and it makes for an easier trim, Although you will have some leaf in there but by looking you can hardly tell. Try it it works.

Sounds like a winner Headsup. I just fired up my cloner again the other day and i think i may need a bit of nutes in it. Ive got some Tiger bloom. Might give it a go. Id be caeful with the H2O2. Ive heard its benificial but can also actually casue root burn in some instances. Not really sure. Will have to look into that one a lil closer.

On the subect of outdoor, it's pissin with rain here today, my girls got a proper good drenching. Was checking them out whilst smoking some fine outdoor Headband that I chopped early...very nice indeed....even with the leafyness, they are still dank as well haha, but I just don't know what sort of harvest I will get, I mean the branches are all 4 foot long, but the colas are just at the top of th branch, and the lower bud sites are super lime green and well, not really looking like they will be use for much more than a bubble run. I'll get some pics up of them so you can let me know what you think...courtsey of the big 600 in the sky! or not so big in my neck of the woods.

Come on week 8 and 9!.....

 

[DST]

The Cali Orange X Headband. These colas are solid, nice and hard, sticky as hell.
The top cola


More solid colas on the Cali O x HB.

And more


Now check these out, just not sure what they are gonna dry up like, nuffink me tinks...



This is the top cola from Oscar, 1BMM, you said the outdoor wasn't as sticky as indoor, this stuff seriously makes your fingers stick together....i was pretty surprised at that to be honest. The ones I use to grow at my windows in my old house never got as sticky! Guess it's the genetics.


More bud rot, I decided whilst I was out there that Oscar is getting chopped...



So that's it. It seems a shame to chop the Cali O x HB early after 5 months of growing so I am going tot ry and let that go a bit longer. Oscar is just so fukin sticky and dank that the but rot is just going to get too bad to try and let her go further. The Oscar clones I have got going in the cabinet are looking great!

Any comments welcome

Know how you are feeling Outdoor, it'll be here sooner than you think bru.

 

[Outdoorindica]

Your outdoor stuff should be sticky as a mo fo. When trimming white rhino from outdoors look to have to scrape your scissors off every couple of minutes, mmmmm scissor hash... finger hash.... Damn I wish I had some outdoor girls this year!

Yeah I know, the weeks are kind of flying by. The veg time seemed to take forever though. Hell the hard wait is still to come, dry, jar up, air out from time to time, wait.
