gonna try...i have another 17,000 lumens in cfl's on the side too so its almost like a 400 watter in my closet..for me the big difference this time was the bc nutes that i changed to i was using fox farm before and my friend who has been growing for 15 years said he's had the most sucess with BC nutes. so i tried and used his formula and feeding schedule and it made all the difference i highly recomend bc nutes if your not happy with the nutes your using..so we'll see how 6 plants go.. can't hurt to try shootin for a 1/2 pound this time..I'll tell you what to its been 3 weeks since harvest and this cheese is really starting to cure up nice the taste is awesome and it burns nice and even and smooth too..i took a oz. put it away for vacation this summer in daytona..going to the race july 3rd there so figure i'll treat myself a little..well the new grow is full swing i'll have updates on the 6 plant lst soon..peace everyone!!

Thanks bro.. as far as the foot picture goes the bud was right at my foot and i noticed it was as long as my foot . so i grabbed the camera and the rest is history...a great moment in 250 growing history!!lol what can i say .. as far as veg time.. well lets just say 2 weeks for clones to root..then it was a 3 week veg time on 24/7 and the clones were transplanted once into a 1 gallon pot..so from the time i cut the clones to flower time was 5 weeks and 3 weeks from the time they were transplanted into the 1 gallon pots...

Got a quick question about ventilation. I have a 250w HPS in a 2'x3'x6.5' cabinet with two 50cfm bath fans pulling out the top of the box and ducted out of the room, one small desk fan blowing across the light, one other desk fan blowing across the plant, and a 20 sqin intake hole both in the cabinet and the closet wall. The cabinet is in a closet about 3.5'x3.5' and the temps are fine while the closet is open, but I really want to be able to close the door for security reasons. After 8 hours of the light running with the door closed, temps were at 93. The plant didn't seem to mind (no drooping) but I know I need to drop the temps somehow. Anyone have advice for keeping this cab cool? How many cfm should I be exhausting? Should I also have an intake fan? I've looked into cooltubes and wouldn't mind getting one if it will make a significant difference. Portable a/cs are like $100 too. I want to be able do this cheap as possible as i already have a lot of cash into the box. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Running an ac is gonna get expensive. Can you exhuast your lights hood directly? And throw some glass on it. You also dont want to leave closet open cus they are gonna need complete darkness during the night cycle. I had a hot box until I cut a hole in the hood with a hole saw and hooked up an active exhaust. Threw some glass on it. Now they can be an inch from the light.

yea unless your running a big room or w/e i wouldnt aorry about ac in there like he said maybe a cool tube or something would be best try getting a good can fan 250 cfm + or w/e that would be more than enough to keep a 250w heat at bay.. and if your running digital you dont even know son lol im still running my 250w mag and this bitch gets hot sometimes gotta have constant air on the bulb or the bitch gets hott!
also heres a good site for cheap quality equipment! http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/active-air-400-cfm-inline-duct-fan-p-2754.html this link takes you to a 400CFM which is 10 bucks more than the 250cfm fan and runs the same power so you make the decision there buddy if you choose this way..

Hew wretched.. thats a good web-site you turned us on to there they have good prices on lights....my convertible that i bought at my local hydroponic store was $100.00 cheaper on that site..the only thing though i don't mind paying more if i can get it for cash and no record of anything bought...there fans were reasonable too..I would go with that 400 cfm fan all the way... i havethe same problem he does the only thing is the closet is in a room in my house nobody goes in so i keep the room door locked and thecloset door halfway open with 2 oscilating fans desk type, and an ionic breeze and it does the trick for me..one-day i'll eventually vent it but for now the set-up is fine..eventually my plan is to by another house down the road .. and i'm not gonna live in it and i'm not gonna rent it out either if you know what i mean.... LOL..peaceyea unless your running a big room or w/e i wouldnt aorry about ac in there like he said maybe a cool tube or something would be best try getting a good can fan 250 cfm + or w/e that would be more than enough to keep a 250w heat at bay.. and if your running digital you dont even know son lol im still running my 250w mag and this bitch gets hot sometimes gotta have constant air on the bulb or the bitch gets hott!

Wasssup club i feel i have greatly improved from the runts i have grown 20 hps 68w cfl 4' t5 strip.(flower) 90 w ufo 2' t5 strip. strains (bush) pure kush from cali my homie brought to the east. Lowryder ??? on the left and right of pure kush (1 bush pheno). big cola plant is some shit my cuz smoked dat da dude said was chronic. one grower said mainstem smells kinda like plasticene and mine does with a citrus undertone. tell me what u think. Also the chronic (probably the one i would have stuck wit on smell yield) is a hermie. i see bananas poppin up everywhere and i picked a few. should i let it go. this is like 1/4th my harvest and so far the biggest yielder i have grown (only half way done it just exploded with growth)? what should i do?

Kill it or separate it. Pollen can drift pretty far so be careful.
Btw Nice setup and they're looking good. It will hurt to kill it so I would separate it.

I heard pollen in an outside garden can travel as far as a 1/2 mile...so i wouldn't even take a chance..i'd get rid of it

Nice Grow my man looks real good...i would say about 1.5 to 2 oz maybe..I have pretty much just lst'd under a 250hps. because light penetration is lost after 16" on a 250 watt..those 2 ladies are pretty tall i would either tie them down or get some cfl side lighting to help with the yield...i'm a novice grower though i'm sure you can probably get a better answer from some of the more expierienced growers,but i would say atleat a z and a half maybe 2...i just did 3 lst'd under a 250 and got 122g dried so i'm sure you will do well...let us now how ya make out

That yellowing looks pretty normanl to me, some strains just yellow more than others...other than that its a great grow...those yellowing leaves are the older fan leaves that are not being used anymore..the plant has concentrated on making buds and those leaves are gonna probably dry up and die..just pluck 'em of every other day or so..also your nutes for flowering are probably low in nitrogen so that could be part of it too.some people add a little bat or chicken guano with there flowering fertilizer,but i don't think its really neccesarry..also some plants that yellow a little like that ussually taste better after harvest,just my expierience..the blue cheese i grow,if i get my clones from one mother it yellows up and tastes sweet at harvest time..and if i get clones from this different mother they don't yellow at all and the plant looks great, but the taste isn't "AS" good..just my expierience though...everything looks great though i would continue on doing whatever it is your doing.. nice grow bro!!

Here is my grow so far...
I'm doing a scrog as well as a few plants round the edges.. Over grown if you ask me..
I'm about 2 weeks in to flowering.. I think its slow due to the cold-ness.
Far to many plants in there..!!
