- Thread starter schmoker
- Start date
i'll try get some more pics soon RBKK.
I had to move the light further up as they have been stretching like crazy the last 2 weeks and when i moved the light upwards I also had to move it further forwards to stop it burning a couple of tall bud sites at the back.......well to my suprise when i opened the tent yesterday evening all the plants have leant so far forwards to get the light it looks a right mess in there LOL.....like a set of dominos all leaning over about to topple out the front door when i unzip it LOL...i've moved the light back again so hopefully they will sort themselves out over the next couple of days
the house fucking stinks to fuck when the door is opened. got a couple of ONA air freshners in there from the last grow that i sealed back up after the grow, but need to go and get a new one as cheese is just the smelliest weed and the whole house pongs for about 20 mins eveytime i unzip, so off to the shop soon

i think deep down you are all secretly admiring my perfectly level canopy and just looking on in utter amazement!! (serious sarcasm by the way!! LOL)
i've just picked up some caines from Homebase and im going to get some of the canopy sorted this evening...the sheer size and weight i think has more to do with them all leaning forward then the light moving...but it could be both...all i know is i've got some pretty big open patches right under the light and i need to make sure i have buds sitting in that rather then not.....it's mainly the cheese rather then the blue cheese, which is definately leaning more sativa dominant of the seed i've grown here...hopefully the fucker has finished stretching as my tiny tent is struggling!
i'll see hwo the splinting goes but it's made me think about my next grow and if i will do 1 or 2 plants....i prefer 2 for the variety and also doubles my odds incase one of the plants goes south, im not left totally high and dry...but i need to get a better handle on an even canopy. some of the main colas are stuck under all the smaller side branching and are wilting away from lack of light...real shame...all experience and learning i guess
more pics next week when they have been flowering for 3 weeks

3 weeks of flowering
ive installed a heat shield which seems to be keeping it cooler closer to the bulb, will see how it works over the next few weeks, but first thoughts are good
also used some cains and have supported and moved the colas around giving them more space and hopefully better light to each.
until next week ....be lucky

yeaaaaaah buddy, you know its going to be a heavy session!!
i love the dam, think i first went in 98 and it blew my mind....but what still blows my mind is the fact the yanks can get MJ cards to legally smoke the stuff but in some states getting caught with weed is enough to see you go to "jail"...crazy place lol
if i had the space the budbox that is 75 x 75 x 160 i would get along with a cooltube and a 400w in a heartbeat, but with the space i have for my tent im going to stick with the 250 and try and learn ways to maximise the yield. the 250w should just about do us for our smoke we need, the 400w would just give us that extra time to not be setting up another grow back to back
im loving the heatshield. its made a noticeable difference on some of the colas that were getting burnt, they now arent. if anyone has a DR60 or small tent where the light gets maxed out and you are still worried about heat issues, i would say get a heatshield, for only £12 it was worth every penny
the biggest thing ive noticed with the 2 cheeses, is that the big buddha just stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my last blue cheese grow was smelly but it was containable, this big buddha cheese is making my house stink even with ONA air freshner and carbon filter. they are similar to look at but you can tell there are differences when you look up close.
im thinking of getting my next seedlings popped in the next 2+ weeks and left to germ in the garden in the propogator so when i pull the cheese out im ready to get going with the bubba kush and white widow...havent read up on how bubba kush and WW react to topping and if they are big stretchers....i bought a dual sunmaster 250w bulb and im going to try that next time instead of a SON-T plus HPS...hope it helps with the stretching....will probably put the HPS back on from week 5 or so to finish them off...
if anyone reading this has experience with bubba kush or WW could you share your thoughts if you have a moment...

moved the buds again using more cains for support...think im up to 13 cains in there now lol...its a shambles under the canopy with splints everywhere and im having to siphon water down a tube to be able to water them as there is just no space to get anything in there to water them...crazy....i'll snap a pic.....
here is a quick video 4.5 weeks (finally sorted a youtube account, so better quality videos)

here is the carnage underneath - probably need a better solution then siphoning the nutes ha!
something like this could be handy perhaps? but this wilma is just too big for my 60cm x 60cm space
any ideas????
EDIT: next day i popped to local aquatic shop and bought a cheap pump for £9.99 BARGAIN! - no more sucking nutes down a pipe
just stuck 1.5 meters of pipe on the end and drop it in a 5 litre bucket full of water & nutes...result! it even has adjustable rate of flow...double bargain!!!
I love cowboy DIY. yesterday i also started building a veg area, knocked together the room and shelves, but had a spanner thrown in the works as the mother in law is planning to stay with us a few days when she is over from abroad....looks like the idea of a back-2-back grow is on hold ...bollocks!
