250w HPS Club And Help Guide

[HuckleberryFinn]

She is 6 weeks old, sorry about the questions I just had two crops failed in a roll ... and thanks

About the 400W You did the right thing. First I bought 400w for the closet, man this is like.. bzzzzzz all the time you cant live whit that in the same room. Friend of main having one of those and in the next room lives his grandfather and he doesnt know about the lamp but every day he starts to mumuring "something happening here I am feeling some intensity ..."

Hey guys I just bought my first HID and I went with a 250HPS/MH, even though i could've got a 400HPS/MH for three dollars less. The reason I did this is because I eventually want 2 lights in my closet, and thought that 2 400s would be too much to handle in a 5x2 and not wanting to drop several hundred on a serious fan or a cooltube. Do you guys think I made the right decision on getting the smaller light? It's hooked up in a temporary spot over a flowering bagseed plant i grew under cfl's. Ive got nirvana papaya and ppp in the freezer though, and theyll be going under this 250 as soon as I chop this baby down. pics tomorrow when lights on. Does the idea of a closet with only 2 250s seem goofy to anyone? or do i have the right to be proud of my setup plans.

I think its a good idea!

Be proud, if you don't have space for 2 400's then 2 250's is good too. I'm with Blax on this one.

You're fine with the questions, that's what the club is for. Sorry if my post seemed dry/rude or unwelcoming. If the leaves are at the bottom then that's fine. However before doing that, wait to see if you raising the feedings helps. If it doesn't or they are totally dry and dead and crispy then pick em'.

Thanks for the support guys. The closet is 5x2x6.5 and the circuit is shared with a bathroom so I can't draw too much power or my girl will go to blowdry her hair and end up blowin the fuse instead haha. eventually it'll be 2 250s with a 110w 6"inline fan to exhaust air out of the closet and a 6" ductfan blowing air into the closet. whole thing will be under 750w. anyways here's the pics i promised of my cfl plant under the new 250.

 

[cbtbudz]

first2 are bluelarry and 2nd 2 are power.getting close.

 

[georgyboy]

wow budz you grew that with a 250? I got some ppp coming in the mail along with some papaya. do you have a journal with the power plant?

 

[cbtbudz]

yeah 250.and its not ppp.i dont have lineage atm.i havent been keeping up on my journal.mostly quick updates right here.

 

[georgyboy]

o damn. i was looking forward to having similar buds. it's going to be my first grow with ordered seeds, i've always done bag seed but i want something more reliable (a recent batch all turned hermie on me) now that I have this HID so I ordered from nirvana.

 

[cbtbudz]

do you have a light leak?jw.i would like to see the beans you have coming and how they turn out.have you thought about cloning?

 

[ace720]

Got some new beans today 5 x-line iced grapefruit fem seeds, 3 eva seeds - monster, jamaican dream, tnt kush, tga subcool querke, larry og kush, some free UFO's, cluster and the Jack.

Which one do you think I should pop first? Which handles hot temps best with big yeilds?

 

[cbtbudz]

i vote for querkle larry and monster.but all sound nice

 

[ace720]

i vote for querkle larry and monster.but all sound nice

yeah the querkle and larry are pic&mix "reg" seeds so idont know what to do, i thought they were fem when i bought them but i guess not. and im only in a 2x2x5 tent so there is only room for one good plant

It is very possible that at some point in time the plant pictures above was exposed to some kind of light leak. It has been flowering for four months and when the buds seemed to have stopped growing and were just thickening uP and looking ripe and ready to pick, new buds started growing out of the buds and that's why the tops of each bud is so skinny and pointy. It's new growth. I looked it up and apparently it's called rebudding and some people actually do it on purpose. I never want to flower one plant so long again. Also I'm doing a journal for my ppp and papaya grows I'll be sure to pt the link on here when it gets going.

That would be why they turned herm then, once a plant has matured (probably had actually been done by 8-12 weeks) they struggle to produce seeds and stress themselves into making male flowers in a last ditch attempt to re-produce so I would have chopped at or a week or so after the 'recommended' time, I've never really heard of re-budding, I've heard of double budding when you kick them into 24 hours of light once or twice during flowering. It's not enough to force them back into veg but it arranges some hormones so they sprout new spurs off the top that actually finish at the same time as the rest of the plant.

So you should have cut them when they were just thickening and ripening up like you said and ignored the new growth imo

The only instance of 're-budding' I can think of is when you chop half of it and let the popcorn nugs fatten up, this can increase yield by anything up to 30% 'cause it's kinda like topping and the popcorns get a massive growth spurt from the re-arranged hormones.

 

[cbtbudz]

As to the lineage of my power.this is what the guy that passed it to me had to say.

basically its a bubba pheno x socal master...
Now master is really similar to the origional kush ..no og...
made with affy...master has been the kush they used for lots of kushes and lots of breeds...
The socall master is from up north ..very old afganni x afgani... really tastier and a real zesty zingy kush ...
The sour dubble is a bubba pheno ...sour bubble... mixed with nycd (diesl) ...from bog breeder...
So its basically those 2 crossed ....The power is master dominate...

ps i am from cali.

 

[georgyboy]

Matchbox my bad I meant double budding not rebudding. The bid shown isn't a hermie it's a better plant that simply double budded and I think it happened due to some form of light leak. The hermits were some seeds I popped in the middle of flowering this plant and I grew them 12/12 from seed and only let te top cola form. As each plant produced male flowers I chopped them before the pollen sacs open and just harvest premature bud. The last plant I chopped down went a month longer than the other three and came in at a whopping 10 grams dried haha. As harvesting goes it was a total waste of time but it was a learning experience none the less.

 

[georgyboy]

When I get home I'll post some pictures of the lanky lollipops that I think I have saved.

 

[georgyboy]

Man I wish I lived in a state where cultivating and breeding were so accessible and sophisticated.

 

[cbtbudz]

the hermies could be due to the leak light also.

 

[georgyboy]

good point. I kinda assumed it was a genetic thing since all four hermies came from the same bag. Thought it was just some bad thai weed with mixed up genes.
