250w HPS Club And Help Guide

I am unable to address the ventilation system very much because of letting light show through windows (sucks living so close to neighbors)... so I was thinking of replacing the HPS with more CFLs and cut down the temps. Right now, during the hottest point it's probably 80-90F under the HPS, mid 80s everywhere else in the room.

Cover up the window with panda film?

Just got back from 8 days away, left some girls in veg and the pump died (along with 3 of my girls)nothing that can't be replaced but it still stings..

Sometimes vacations really suck.


Some of the survivors look great, the bubblicious seedlings (un-sexed) are looking like they will be nice, beefy and short.



The Jamaican Bagseed girls are very strange looking.. here one. (ugliest plant nominee?)

Thats alright GRAZZ at last you still got some left to grow.
It sucks when you got to start all over.

Hi, I'm berjozcity and I want to be in your club.

My box is still empty, but I'll let it grow as soon as my seeds sprout.

Setup:
250w Sunmaster Dual Spectrum bulb
300cfm active carbon filter
250cfm inline outtake fan +speed controller
30cm cooltube



Speed controller and cooltube does really amazing things! I can use half the power of fan which makes it really quiet (stealthy in the true meaning of the word) and I can keep my hand on the cooltube's glass right under the lamp, so I guess my plants will be very close to light Temp with lamp on and minimal air outtake config: 77 - 80 degrees, humidity 25% with only one plate with water in it.

But still I have about 19" from soil to lamp and I am curious wether it's enough for 1 white widow...

Anyway, ready to grow the shit out of every seed I got. And I've got many

Grazz...
that sucks... I had a an exhaust fan die while I was away, came home to a tent in the low 90's with 88% humidity!
then, there was a time when I (or my wife, shhhh, don't tell her I said that), left the valve open that empties my old reservoir when the pump comes on... Needless to say, hours later when I checked on my ladies, the water catch was full of 4 1/2 gallons of nutrient solution... Atleast the water catch did its job that day.

That Jamaican bagseed really look s like the sort of plant you would find in an old ladies greenhouse, not a MJ plant. Really interesting to see how it turns out, love the early presence of trich's.

Seems when something goes wrong it's always at the time I am unavailable or can l can least afford to take care of it. At least this won't cripple your grow Grazz and the survivors look to be doing well.

That Jamaican bagseed looks like an old heirloom sativa this oldtimer I knew used to grow out. It would grow little tiny calyx "beads" instead of colas. It was a really weird looking plant and almost didnt resemble cannabis. But what smoke it was, really clean and piny tasting old school sativa.

Jumping aboard this train for sure! -subbd

Thanks SS.. I was debating whether or not to keep it going, now I have to keep it just to find out..lol.

OK.. a little Grazz-tory here.

Started out a few years back with an Ebb&Flo setup, rockwool and hydroton. Good results but could I do better with coco in smart pots (still E&F) and I have to say yes, faster growth and easier to manage because of the pots, but those pesky little flies seem to love coco. So.. what if I got bigger pots, mixed promix and coco and just feed them when they looked hungry? Still hydro, good results, but much less forgiving and the pesky little coco flies are still included .
So the history lesson is leading up to this.. I picked up some FoxFarm Ocean Forest, Happy Frog and some dolomite lime.. Grazz is going organic .

Now I need some advice from the soil growers, I know Sir Verde (just got that..lol. Sir Green ) on mixing the soil.

I have two 1.5 CF bags of FFOF and a large rubbermaid tub, the lime and Happy Frog.

About 2 years growing in soil, no Verde, but learnt a lot, and happy to help

Cool.. tyvm

I'm here. I do pretty simple soil mixes. I'm experimenting with something other than fox farms ocean forest this run with some pineapple express. I keep forgetting what it's called though. I have the name written here somewhere.

Also it's supposed to be señor verde.. translated to english it means mr. green

When I first started growing I saw a video with Mr Green.. lol
I mixed up a 1.5cf bag today.. added a 1/2 cup of dolomite and wet it down. How long should I let it sit before I start using it?

Grazz

Take a look at my thread grazz, I do organic and use FFOF.

I'm not playing the soil for nothing

I'll have to try and wait it out if that's what it is... super long flower time.

I hope my beans get here today
thy been setting in ISC Chicago for 3 days now

At last, I have some swelling!!! My little Strawberry cough plant that looked like it was gonna be a quantity let down, may just do itself proud yet. I did some training, and was hoping for 7-8 large colas, instead I got an array of smaller budds, maybe 25 or so, and actually it's turned out to be quite a pretty plant (in her own way). The nuggs are so so frosty, and just lovely looking, like a step above anything that I have grown before I may even squeeze over 20g's, which is still disappointing but better then the 12g I was afraid of. Started the flush on Monday with 3 litres of water, with just a 0.5ml of Fox Farm Big Bloom, then another 2litres Wednesday, with a few drops Fox Farm, and same again today. I know a lot of people who flush much more, but I usually find this is more then enough. Now all I have to do is wait a week to chop them, then another week before I can smoke it

Hey Hettyman I don't flush at all and my smoke still come out nice and smooth
you should try it. It would help with yield

The heirloom strain had an unbelievable flower time. My memory isn't so good anymore but I know it was all of 3 months probably more.
