Welcome! Amsterdam is a great inspiration, isn't it?!

OK, well this is a fairly old post, but someone may read it looking for answers (like I was) so I'll answer it directly instead of beating around the bush! I simply called Lukatek tech support and asked them. You don't do anything to switch between MH and HPS bulbs! Some ballasts you have to...

To answer the question, minimum veg time is about 4 weeks, or a plant height of 12" with 3 or 4 sets of alternating nodes.

@ ganjaluvr: I think you need to use more sarcasm and definitely more question marks.

Just bought this one. Putting it together this weekend...going to use with a 400 watt Lumatek switchable ballast.

Thanks Zorr! 2 plants, a Jock Horror and a Bubblicious. If I hadn't dropped a light on the JH a couple of months back, I would have probably gotten another 2-3 jars. I plan on weighing tomorrow but I think I'll be looking at between 5 and 6oz maybe - probably closer to 5 and 1/2. Not bad for a...

Drying is proceeding nicely - buds were ready to transfer to jars after 5 days. Got 5 quart jars of both the Jock Horror and the Bubblicious. I figure I'll jar cure for a week before I weigh the buds.

Just a couple more shots of the weed in the paper bag stage. The bags have holes punched in the side for air circulation and have a fan on them at all times. Weed went into the bags after about 3 1/2 days of hang drying. Probably will transfer the buds to jars in 2-3 days. May not be the...

Nice story. I've worked in Petersburg, Sitka, and Paxson (yeah, middle of nowhere!) and bought weed all three places. Generally speaking, expensive, but worth it considering how difficult it can be to find it sometimes. I was under the impression that a lot of bud came from BC as well? Anyways...

Thanks man. I already moved the buds from hang drying to paper bags (3 1/2 days of hanging) so I'll keep them in the bags for another 2-3 days and then into mason jars for at least a week. After that I'll weigh them and post final yield. I'll stay tuned on your grow as well. I might take a break...

Yeah, I'm interested in seeing what kind of yield I get too. I don't think it's going to be as good as I had hoped, but then again I held my expectations in check so we'll see! I only had 2 plants to trim, and the Jock Horror was only like half a plant top be honest (due to the light falling on...

Plants are looking good man. How long you going to flower them?

Well, the time has come to cut these bad boys down! I plan on giving them 24 hours of dark beginning today and then I'll begin harvesting them this Saturday. That makes it 9 1/2 weeks of flowering but I think they are ready. About 30% of the trichomes are amber and the stems really can't support...

Just a few day 56 pix. Hard to tell from the photos maybe, but the buds do seem to be fattening up. Probably just going to use the Honey Hydro Carbs this week and then start flushing a week from today. Hoping to harvest in two weeks but we'll have to see what the trichomes look like first.

Looking good man. Have you noticed any flowers yet?

Not really. I'm thinking week 10, but we'll see how it goes. They're definitely not ready now so we'll see how the next week goes. I'll go to week 11 if I have to.

Today is week 8, day 56 of flowering so we're getting closer! Plants are doing well - responded nicely to the first application of the Humboldt Big Up powder. Today I gave them their second application of it so we'll see what happens. The lower fans leaves are starting to yellow and die off due...

Hey, how's it going? Any luck with those Northern Lights?

Bummer man. Hope everything works out for you. This is precisely why you tell NO ONE you are growing. That includes girlfriend, wife, family, best friend, ANYONE. If you live with someone and have no choice but to tell them - then don't grow. I'm single, live alone, and haven't told anyone I am...
