250w HPS Club And Help Guide

Yes you should wipe down your room regardless if you had males or hermies. You should wipe down your grow room walls and floors with a mild cleaning solution so you know that your plants will be in a perfectly clean environment

If I let these plants mature will the seeds be likely to be hermies, female, or random males and females as normal? Cause I got some beans in the mail a while back and I germinated and vegged three of them. They are about 18" now and lookin great. They are supposed to mature in seven weeks. Heres the link http://www.hempdepot.ca/seeds/TGA/TheThirdDimension.htm I'm prety anxious to get them flowering. I'll snap some pics of them along with the mysteriously seeded females.

Doobieus Where did you get the metal screen at? It looks like a rubber coating on it? I want something just like that for my box just haven't seen any like that. I have looked at the Homedepot and lowes. Thanks

Yeah it's got a rubber coating on it. I use dog/baby gates the old ones, you know with the wooden frame around it, that slide to become bigger? I had to cut the screen out of the wooden frame because this grow is too small for the dimensions of even one of those screens. Since it's a gate it has 2 screens, so all in all you're technically paying 2 for 1 already assembled screen. You should be able to find them at Wal-mart or some other store like that.

Hope this helps out and welcome to the club.

Edit: I meant you pay for 1 and get 2 lol.

I know you will get hermies for sure as far as ratio for female/male/hermie I'm not sure. Even if it pollinated a regular female there'd still be a good amount of hermies.

Those subcool seeds are awesome I've heard really good things about him and his seeds. I'm pretty sure he's on this forum too. Been thinking of getting some myself. Keep us updated for sure dude.

that's a good idea with the dog safety gate you got here. i'ma try my first scrog grow next time around. btw i'm looking for some square pots that arn't too expensive, n e one have a link?

I found the hermie after close inspection. I found some burst pollen sacs on only the bottom most nodes. Figures its the purple fuitylicious smelling one. The first two pics show the burst sacs and the pistils, second shows one of the tops of the hermie, fourth pic shows the Third Dimension. They are five weeks from seed. I think I'll let the other gals finish off, seeds and all. Can't hurt to get these 3D's a little bigger.

My friend gave me his leftover pots from one of his grows, had to clean the hell out of them but it was free.

You can also always go to a local shop, in your area.

If you don't have a local shop then I found this on Ebay, it will probably be at the end of it's sale by the time you get to it so I added the direct link to the store and category where you can find them. 2229 comments and a 99.4% rating, so they seem pretty reliable. I haven't gone through them personally but if I had to I would.

Hope this helps.

Yeah that's totally genetic dude, I wouldn't grow out the seeds that came from that personally, but more power to you if you do.

In the first or second pic there's another pollen sac right above the burst one that is going to burst soon too. Pick off the male parts as carefully as you can with some tweezers. The more sacs that burst the more seeds you will get, the more the seed production the less potent your product will be, because once seeds start to develop it slows down the production of thc because all of the plants energy is spent developing the seeds. I personally would remove them because hermie's are just as bad as males, but if you want to save them as much as you can at this point then tweez them.

Also are you feeding your plants nutrients? The 3rd dimension plants look like they're starting to have a little bit of nitrogen deficiency.

The plants look good though, unfortunate news on the seeded/hermie plants.

Hope this helps .

Your plants should be fine dude, calm down and smoke a joint lol.

What nutrients are you using? Usually they come with directions/feeding schedules. Follow that except start them out at a 1/4 of the recommended feed and build them up to full nutes. Get familiar to the nutrients and then tweek them to your liking.

phew!! im using vita link max nutes but it doesnt say when to change em, nevermind il just take it as it comes init.

nice one doob

Thanks Doobieus for the info. I will get one from wally world this week.

Found your nutrient schedule, this should clear some things up for you. Remember to start at 1/4 and the build up so you don't burn your plants.

No problem Hunt.

I overnuted my first and second grow. This is my third, I haven't been nuting at all just to see what would happen. Now I know they are under nuted, thanks for the info. I'll start them off light. I'm gonna chop the hermie and let the other two ladies finish. Didnt I read that the way to get feminized seeds is to polinate a female with a hermie? If thats true then I should keep the seeds from the two ladeis that the hermie pollinated right? Or is what I read not necessarily true? Thanks for the help

Click to expand...

I heard that too, but then I did some research of my own. They make fem seeds by chemically inducing a male part on a full female. You can try to grow out those seeds if you want but I personally wouldn't.

Doobs,
When i dry should i have a fan on or just the exhaust for the smell.

If you don't want it to smell and you want to evenly dry I would say exhaust and oscillating fan (To prevent mold of course). Just make sure to keep the buds about 1-2 inches apart, 70F-80F temps and humidity around 40-45% and you should be alright.

Thanks Doobs.Just trying to get things in order.My last grow of snow white was decent,but i thought it was kinda harsh at times.Going to flush for 2 weeks this time.I only flushed for a week last time.
Just the last day or so the buds have swelled up even more.Gettin close,got my new elctric bill and it was $220(Damn)But i think the smoke will be worth it...lol

high all,

I just returned from my 2 week vacation to some bad news, I left these babies in perfect condition.

It appears my caretaker used overpowering nutrient solution because I have 3 or 4 plants with what I think is nutrient burn, unfortunatly the one that was the best when I left has turned to the worst, and I trimmed some of the leaves but I am not sure if that was a good idea...

the 2 White Rhino and 1 Thai S-Skunk and 1 or 2 bagseed look good...I am thinking of putting most of the bagseed outside and starting the 2 other white rhino since they are fem and I know what I have...do you think that would be a waste?

so does this look to be nute burn or something worse? I flushed most of them last night to be safe but they were fed the day before so I guess Ill have to see, any other suggestions how am I doing?

thanks for any help kiss-ass

Note:
using happy frog soil
Humboldt organic nutes
distilled or dehumidifier water
nutes have ph of 6 - 6.5
daytime temp up to 81 F
humidity around 45-50 %
20" fan (doesnt oscillate but I shift its "focus")

Looks like a combo of nute burn and over watering to me.

Getting a nice little 250w grow kit, Was going for Auto Flowering as i am very impatient, However I want to know what results can I predict growing critical mass?
Its a 3 plant kit with a 250w Dual Spectrum HPS. Any ideas of expected yields or issues with growing using such a small lamp?

Cheers

Hello all,

I am in my 5th week of flowering a 3 way cross of (white rhino/white widow/super skunk) and I use a 250 HPS, supplemented with a 250watt 6400k compact flouro. Also, as soon as trichromes begin to show up I turn on my 10.0 reptisun UVB flouro. I leave it on all 12 hrs, no damage to plant at all. The resin production is much faster! I have been growing the same plant for years now, and the buzz with a proper cure is 10x better with the intro of the UVB in my garden. As far as nutes go, I don't use anything special. A mixture of my urine, with molasses, Triple phosphorus, and epsom salt mixed into filtered water has been all the fert I have used. All grown in properly drained soil mixture made by Promix.
