250w HPS Club And Help Guide

xpog, they is a couple of meaty looking plants for a 250, hope they continue on form.

Ace, just looked up those strains...there are now so many g13 strains I want to try, I think when this lot is done, i'm gonna have to do a little Sea-o-green grow, with 6 under my 250, and 12 under my 400. Let me know how the Blu OG turns out, cos my fav smoke/grow to date had been Nirvana's blu mystic, 12 months solid through clones, and love love love love the taste and the stone. Tried Buddha seeds Blue CHeese, but didn't have the sweetness. looking at that seedling, and thinking 12 weeks to veg, flower and dry....how can you be so content about losing your last lot, cry or something!

Can't wait tell I get some flowers

im really wanting to get the galaxie 250-400w.hps switchable ballast & use my existing air cooled hood & a 2x2 e&f tub & grow 2-4 plants ive used a 1000w. a 600w. & 400w. set up but lately im wanting to do this purely on a hobby level & i think it would be interesting just to see what can be accomplished using this small set up

I love the small setup h.herk
i have a 600 and don't even use it

They fill my little 2x3x5 tent. They should slow down soon I hope. lol

Yeah they do look nice

Do you have a glass filter/lens on your lamp if so do you use it? If not why?

I am not going to "like" this post, as there is no such thing as "too many strains".

well its sure not easy to keep 9 strains going with such little light. 500w total and I keep no mothers around.

I hear that. I ended up buying a 400w tent set up, after adding all the CFL's in my various veg tents and bits, and realised I was using up nearly that anyway. Biggest problem I found was having different strains and testing 3 different nute ranges at once, just constantly making different mixes every day, and since then I have tried for less plants, but bigger ones. Somehow I have still ended up with 10 auto's just flowering, and 3 larger fem's, all in flower, and all needing slightly different feed levels, and similarly no mothers or clones.

That said, having lots of plants to tend to isn't the worst hardship in the world

My Cindy is now 32 inches tall. I noticed she has a couple burnt leaf tips, and hasn't been over 1.1 EC yet. She gets a mini flush every feed, and I flushed both plants last week.


My Atomic Bomb stopped stretch a few days ago, and is looking real good. She has trichs spreading to the fan leaves already at 2.5 weeks in. I have her at 1.3 EC right now.

Double post!

Where is everybody??

I for one have nothng to show as 5 out of 6 auto's look jank. They have really stretched and starting to look more sativa then indi. The 6th on the other hand is just starting to look good. They are all 4 weeks from harvest, and get this, I have just received a letter from my land lord about a routine inspection 3 days before planned harvest!!! Every fucking time. Now I am stuck with the dilemma of harvest early, and have to hide a load of dank wet budd for half an hour, or try and put the plants in the loft and hope the smell doesn't leek out...which is never gonna happen cos a load of plants at week 8 flower will hummm!!

On the plus side my first attempt a DWC is going ridiculously well, despite me continuously falling asleep an hour before the lights come on, and it continuously runs really low on water. Don't even have a EC meter and it's still going really well. I'm not posting a picture here cos its in my 400w tent....consuming it in fact.

Sucks about the inspection man. Is there no way to put it off for a week? If not maybe move them. I made a dry box out of a cardboard packing box and made a grid out of string to hang the buds with clothes pegs. Maybe dry them in a box like that and move them to your car trunk just before the inspection. Either way I'm sure you'll get a handle on it, good luck.

It is always to be at the end when this stuff happens.

Well, it seems this way.

This may be similar to the pseudo-phenomenon of thinking
that whenever you look at a clock it is showing some odd
time, like 11:11, 10:10, or 12:34.

I believe that what is really happening in that case is that
it is only when the time is odd that the mind focuses on it.

Well, for whatever reason, it seems that things tense up
when the stink starts and the end nears.

I hope that it all works out for the best.

P.S. I just passed week 7 and am with you in spirit. :0)

when I lived at apts, I had spare room I kept moving boxes and I would box all the plants up the night before and the day of I would clean all the linoleum with bleach as well as the counters, and leave a sink or bathtub full of bleach. aw you guys caught me on cleaning day. the whole apt would just smell like bleach. little strong and they would would just do the walkthough real quick and get out. maybe this could help ya.

Not bad....bleach will break down over time in place as well.

Ona gel might be a good addition.

Good luck,

JD
