400 watt MH Purple Kush SOG JOURNAL

looking pretty dank, i wanna see the final result! lol scribed!!!

Im posting an update tomorrow. They are half way threw week 4 and looking fat

cant wait for the update, I was doing some reading and it seems that OG does ALOT of it's fattening up during the last 2-3 weeks. You should use some co2 pucks ( excellofizz ) starting at week 5 going 30 days ( 30 pucks are around 120 dollars approx. ) until the end of week 8, then flush. The co2 from these pucks with your space will give you well over 1500 ppm. I'm gonna get at least 1200 in my space. This will increase overall yield by 20-30 % even more. If youd like to know more about how to best use these dissolving pucks of co2 let me know, as I have checked into exactly what they are all about. It's expensive in the long run for these but short term yield gains are well worth the 120 bux per month.

Yea im changing my whole setup. Im constructing a poly tent and running a 1000 watt in it. 8'x8' Running 40 plants on two differnt crop dates. Once a month. I already have the lights just dont have the space. Im going to buy a bottle of Co2 with reg and flow meter and selinoid. I seen the pucks before i just dont know how to use them when the fans will be on. You have to turn off your outtake and pump your room full of Co2. Sealed setups are better for C02 but you need alot of Btus to cool your room. Thats why winter prices are low summer prices are high. There is just a higher demand for it in the summer.
Here is a 28 day update. They are starting to gain weight.
After this first crop im adding some things to it. Im kinda strapped for cash since rent is in two days.

They are mostly KUSH not Purple kush. There is 4 pks and 14 kush 2 white widows and 1 mango. The tallest ones are the WW
Some leafs didnt recover when i sprayed them. The Kush dont like that compared to the Pk. ENJOY

Very nice man!!

I hope ours turn out that nice!!

Thanks for the comments BTW

Yea this is my first experiancewith anything smaller than a 1000watter. im impressed with the 400 watt MH. im gonna run it with the MH the whole time just to see what happends. I will upgrade to a 600 watt after the first run. Or maybe another 400 cause summers coming

They sure r starting look fucking fat!!!!
Delicious ladies brah

When you keep your temps above 25 and below thirty the ladies really pack on the wieght. ALso keep your night time temps above 18 for best results.
I feel that if you want more resin get your room cooler. But that affects weight and growth.
In the winter i noticed they dont eat as much juice because they have slowed down. If i feed them full strenght in the winter the leaf tips curl down. Its because when the lights go off the temps drop to much. In the summer u feed them full strenght and they just gain so much size and mass.
Winter is better if you utilize Co2. You can shut out your fan without heatproblems and pump your room full of co2. In the summer u cant do that unless.... you run cooltubes or have chillers/ac.
This is IMO and experiance for Purple Kush.

tsup bro,stuff lookin real ns and healthy man. bcsdk stuff is always sour,cant wait to do the kush,temps are funny here,100 everyday,but can keepem 80 to 85 easily.thanx to kenmore,lol..subscribed.

2 pics WHite Widow day 30. Smells like orange halls or something.
The new ones are on there 3rd day of 12/12. I just want a crop once a month untill i can buy another 400watter. The end of this month i should have another one with a filter(i have the 6 inch vortex fan)
They wont stop growing.

Looking absolutely delicious!!!

I hope they taste as good as they look!!

Great Job!

They are going to taste really good because im giving them problend bloom and karboboost and a two week flush.
Ive never tried Ww so im pretty stoked. They are all caked nicely tho. Id say the ww stinks the most. Its all coming down after week 8 to make way for the clones that will be 4 weeks in haha. I thinking about getting a 250 cfl to help. Any ideas?

Man! I would love to add a 250 watt CFL... But I think you can get more out of multiple cfls. In my opinion any way if you use more bulbs you can strategically place them throughout the area better. We use mostly 42 watt CFLs. They are expensive(15$ CAN) but they pound out serious light! They are equal to 150 watts. Above and beyond putting them in our fixture, we have to additional crane/clamp lights that we can throw in any where we want to try and get better coverage on specific sites.

Any way that is just my opinion, and it's not worth much cause this is only my first attempt of something of this nature.

Your Plants look awesome though and I cant wait to see harvest pics!!

i dont have that many lamps. im gonna just grab another 400 asap.

Yea i had a 600 watt ballast kickin around and just bought the bulb for it today.
I hung the 400 watt over the new babies. I turn that on for 8 hours a day and the 600 stays on the full 12.
I felt that the 400 mh was great for building structure and size. The 600 hps will build more density and weight and add that extra 50000 lumens.
No heat problems in mid day with both lights on.
Here is the new setup

Looks great!!

I would CRAP if I had that many growing all at once!!

its only 40 plants! jeesh. i have to buy a dehum today

lookin good,i like the 600s ,air cooled can set them babies 10 inches from the canapy which produces the more rok hard nugs, i have a 600 and a 1000 with one inline fan, and a 250 conversion lamp for starting seedlings and clones.pack them babies in there, the more yu have the happier yule be.

The lights are 10 inches from the tallest ones. They get side lighting from the 400 mh as well. Its not even hot in there. I open it during lights on to give them fresh air when they need it. I close it for a hour before lights off to heat the space before the lights turn off. Its not bad because the light off temp is 15-20 and in the summer i wont need a dehum because an air conditioner is a dehum as well as a heater.
Im short on funds right now and planning on getting better setup.
Ive never tried the white widow. Its looking really good tho.
ill post some pics in a few days more after the 600 has been on them.
Its such a small space and its white, so the light is really bright. I have the 600 over about 9 sqaure feet of buds The 400 on the side is for the new ones but the side lighting hits the other ones good.
Id say the ones in the oxycal pots have done the best so far.
