I'll be sure to get plenty of pics put up when the time comes. This strain I have usually flowers very quickly, I expect to see flowering very quickly now that I have switched to 12/12. If the first crop was any indication, this crop should yield more and look better. Really looking forward to it.

You know man, your truly lucky to have access to QUALITY clones from dispensaries like that, to get clones here you have to find people who take the time to clone special strains, and actually trust the person your getting the clone from, you could be buying something completely different from what you were told it was.
Kind of like planting a bagseed from a bag of weed you got by a certain name. Just cause your dealer told you it was some Hindu Kush, doesn't mean the seed you found will be Hindu Kush :-P

At least at the dispensaries there's a CERTAIN level of knowledge that comes along with buying actual plants from them.

Anyway, i'll be keeping up with this thread. Can't wait to see those buds! ^_^

I agree about the clones. Started with 12 clones, picked one, and have cloned it many times since with so far amazing looking results. Is it possible the clone is somehow better than the original? Keep up with the thread, I've been trying to post updates every 2 days, so far I have been able to. Really helps me keep progress of my own grow as well.

I am considering purchasing a CO2 tank but for reasons associated with money a regulator would not be available. Would it be worth purchasing the tank now, and periodically releasing some CO2 from the tank manually after exiting and sealing up the grow room? That is the question I am pondering and I am open to thoughts, I really have no experience with CO2, I want to get in on the cheap, and the alternative solutions such as bubbling buckets are unacceptable to me.

9 White Rhino plants under flowering 12/12 are already showing many signs of blooming. Fastest transition I've ever experienced. Just 2-3 days. Pictures in my next update.

Tophead · Apr 4, 2011

(Board was down several hours earlier, couldn't post my updates then.)

Lots of growth from the plants under 12/12, they shot up an inch or two over the last day, really bushing out. Lots of buds already flowering, lots of white hairs.

(The discoloration is due to blocking out the HPS light to take pics without lines in them. The plants are green not yellow/orange I assure you)

looks good man but something is up with the lil ones - id guess their rooting system is quite weak, perhaps the soil is too thick and oxygen not getting at the roots, or perhaps it is from low light, I grow with pretty much the same nutrients and soil with my soil grows and yours just look inordinately weak as far as girth overall size, I do realize they are just young clones but this looks like a common thing I see when I go to help my friends grow and it usually breaks down to lack of oxygen to the roots(soil not porous enough), or lack of root growth due to bugs, or maybe even over watering, by spraying them your also giving the rooting system less desire to grow and seek out water.

It could be a number of things but let me assure you something is not right here and it makes me think its the rooting system, I bet if you tried to uproot one it would only take a minor tug to break free. When you harvest the last bunch were you able to pull the entire rootball out of the pot and carry it in one piece while you held it by the stalk?

/disagree

look's like you're off to a good start

dajosh42069 · Apr 5, 2011

Wow, they look great! DEF some very nice lil indica's you got goin on. Do you know if they're pure indica or if they're an indica/sativa hybrid?

Thank you, I also disagree with his comment, the plants are looking great.

White Rhino's are an indica/sativa cross, I would say at least 60% indica. I love the canopy I get on them, and they are already flowering much faster than last time. Really looking forward to this flowering/harvest.

RH ~ 45%
Temps : had a low night, somehow the room hit 59 a few minutes before the light turned on. Temps have been between 64-79 since. I think a heating vent was blocked. No effect on the plants has been noticed in the 2-3 days since this happened.

9 White Rhino's under 1000w HPS are really blooming. Tried to get a close up, hope you can see the white hairs and early flowers. Colors get so distorted under HPS, I prefer pics under MH but oh well.

7 White Rhino's in the veg tent under a t5 are doing well, 2 pictures of those included. Easy to tell the difference, more normal looking colors. A few more weeks and they will be going out under the 1000w HPS to begin flowering.

Today going to be watering the 9 white rhino's, here's what will be mixed up
2 gallons of RO water
cal mag
grow big
big bloom
open sesame
kangaroots
microbrew
PH balanced to 6.5
room temperature water

ps:aluminum foil is complete crap. I've now been talked into going with panda film and will be picking up a roll soon. Thanks everyone in the chatroom who convinced me. Seriously, I am convinced already, thank you.

You should probley start a grow journal of your own to begin with, as this is someones personal grow that were discussing in THIS thread, but I see your new to the site, so i'm sure it's no biggie, just make your own grow journal page and ask these kinds of things...as for your question;

Light Movers?
And the 400W Sunmasters, they HPS or MH?
Digital Thermometer with Humidity sensor
PPM meter
pH Meter ect, ect, ect.

I'm sure you have those things, esp if your planning to grow 43 plants right off the bat....

Foil IS complete crap, and panda film is on my list of things to get as well, but in the meantime, the foil stays up!! :-P

Yes, it creates hot spots, and is uneven, and...causes cancer in puppies for all I know. But i'd rather use that then nothing. Problem for me is that I live SO FAR from any hydro shops, and end up doing a fair amount of shopping from Lowes and Home Depot. But i'll need my HPS soon, and i'm really hoping I can find a good one for a decent price. I found a GREAT 400W HPS with hood and magnetic ballast, bulb included for 116.99 + Shipping, which is like 40 bux, and then like 10 bux for the MH converter bulb for vegging with it. That would be a marked improvement over my 17 26W CFL's. I mean granted, I have like 26,000 Lumens for vegging, but it still takes like 400 something watts to get it.

EDIT: Heyyyy and to my surprise, THIS is officially my 200th post, i'm now apparently a "Ganja Smoker / Pot Head" according to RIU :-P

promoted from "Marijuana Toker / Marijuana Toker"
I DO love this site....

Glad you got to 200, I'm nowhere near there yet. Where exactly can you get a 400w hps with hood/ballast/bulb for $116.99 + shipping?

Congrats again on 200, check back often, I'll have new pics in the thread later on today.

http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-HTGSupply-400-watt-High-Pressure-Sodium-Grow-Light.asp They seem to have the best deals on almost everything. GET THIS, a bull grow tent, starter pots, a bag of FFOF, a 400W HPS w/MH Conversion bulb, nutes, ect, ect, ect. All for about 250+ shipping.
If I didn't already have half the equipment on that list, i'd CERTAINLY get it. I forget where I got the link, on RIU i'm sure, but in which thread I forget. But i've heard very good things about them. And for the record, once you pick everything out and go to pay, theres a little box that asks for a coupon code, DON'T BOTHER LOOKING FOR ONE! I've looked, and in my search I found many many others who looked. There just isn't one out there accessible to the general public.

Anyway, hope the site helps, good growing to you bro. And check in on my grow if you get a chance, I just sexed my S1, and C's 1-4 are doin great. I'll have a pic update a little later on, once I water and record their data.

Tophead · Apr 9, 2011

Took pics and then watered. Lots of white hairs and buds sprouting.

The plants in the veg tent are growing a little slower (less light) but still getting bushy and looking good.
