What up guys. How is everyone?

Just ordered myself a whole new setup. A 4x4x7 tent with 600w hps,435cfm hurricane fan, 4" inline fan for intake,tower fan, and carbon filter. Should be fun :D

Ya I'm excited. I just went all out and got the better of everything instead of going cheap.

I'm excited to try to up my GPW. I was getting almost .6 a watt with the 250 so I'm ready to step up my game.

Sounds good, I got a 600 but scared to turn it on :lol: I'm using 400w mode lately, cause I also got a bigger space, still use the old box for veg though. :bigjoint:

I donated my 250w light to a closet grower, who didn't really have the funds to buy the gear but had the time and passion to grow his own meds.

Whats up everyone.. Happy New Year..

here is an update 3 weeks in they grew taller then expected so will prob do a chop at 6 weeks or so depending on trics and leave the bottom half of the plant another couple weeks to fatten up what do you guys think?
I had mixed results, I cut the tops and let the lower growth fill in. 1 plant was good, the other two were so-so. The lower growth may have matured too long, kinda started looking a little funky about a week after I cut the tops, and the result is not comparable to the other from same plant.. Just lacks flavor, smell and potency..
I would suggest focusing on your tops, say the top 6 - 8" and when they are ready chop and evaluate the lower growth... If your lower growth looks mature and has amber/cloudy trichs I would just cut them.
Be sure you let the calyx's swell up too, you will notice them starting to look as if they are swallowing the orange hairs, that is when you know the flower is ready.

Make a separate jar for all the lower popcorn growth. It wont seem like anything special at the time being you will have big full kolas, but its still going to be quality herb for you..

Use it for some brownies or cookies to share with your friends, make some hash, or just stash it away for a rainy day.

Think my RP og is done stretching, looking forward to the buds. I swear every RP or DNA gear I run always turns into a huge kush bush!

Donating the pineapple express and a 150w hps later today to some patients in need, hopefully the universe rewards me with an extra bountiful crop!:lol::eyesmoke::mrgreen:

A little 250W love, Unknown strain, I don't believe the source of the seed. Haven't been real happy with it except the dark green foilage. I'm doing what I can with this stretchy bitch. Small Backround is ww x bb, same gene pool as my last tent grow. (the yellow on this is from the hps leaking out the front of the tent, the foilage is green on that as well.)

And how is every one?
Remember I said I don't like the PINAPPLE EX, well I changed my mind lol
I do like it now and I'm loving how its growing.
Its taking over my tent from the GRANDOGGY PURP and its "suppose" to be a week behind.Its even got a lil skunky smell to it now. I can't wait till the flowers start coming in :-)

Hello guys,
Update on my garden
White widow, 250w mh, end of 5th week flower, hesi nutes,
I'm a big believer in keeping the light close as possible so there is a little leaf damage on the tallest colas, but rest is healty and kicking.
Since it's my first grow, big question is how do I know when to harvest?
Peace
