400W MH/HPS First Grow Super Skunk
- Thread starter linsys
- Start date
What I read is you can supercrop all through veg which I did, then once you flip to flowering you can only supercrop for the first two weeks... because you need the stems strong to hold the buds up, also you want the plant energy focused on buds not repairing the stems.. just what I read... I am going to try and stick with it.
On a side note, I got my 10 seeds from Nirvana they are Northern Lights, I will be doing 6 northern lights and 6 mazar. I also got my carbon scrubber, I got the a 4" and it blows fucking LOUD!! That fan is amazing.. it isn't even fan noise is whoosh air noise from so much air being moved, I ordered a muffler to help deal with the sound.. I also got my light mover since I'm growing in a 7' tent with a single 1000W HPS/MH light I figured I'd get better coverage, less energy bill (then 2 1000w lights), hopefully my buddy and I get everything setup this coming weekend I want to get that tent going bad!
Also I made some brownies man they fucked me up all day... I ate like 3 of them I was high all day, no joke! I ate them at like 10am I was high till like 8am!

Got my Nirvana NL 2wk sprouts going right now. Did you get the HTG scrubber fan combo? Awsome deal. Got mine hanging by bungee cords to dampen the vibrations. A Light mover SWEET!
Ok so shit is getting crazy over here..
The plant keeps stretching every day not as much as it was but this little lady is growing like a "weed"!
I moved the light up today but I can barley get into the closet because the plant is growing so big! I guess it wasn't a joke when people said she would double or triple in size when she went into flowering!
I do have one crazy issue one of the roots has actually grown down the drain pipe into the reservoir, I hope this doesn't become a problem, but I will be keeping my eye on the situation!
I can't even believe this is just ONE plant!
Well here are the pics!
Oh BTW this is 3 weeks into flowering so 21 days, I figured the buds would be more dense but I guess she is a slower starter! Not sure..

Scribed! That thing is an f'ing BEAST!
Thanks for all the positive comments everyone! My only suggestion for you would be to come up with some sort of tie down plan, I just supercropped my plant but I know if I would have planned for like a LST or Scrog the plant would have an amazing yield!
I decided to go back and put together some picks that show how she has grown throughout Flowering!
In the first few pics there is also a male so take that into consideration when looking at the growth.

Very nice! Didn't realize you were this far a long. Awesome job for the first time. Definitely along for the ride.

looks like you got a jungle in there. She should be about done stretching.
Ok people sorry I had to go out of town for a week due to a family emergency (a few of the branches had some burning from the light because the plant grew so much).
Anyway here are the latest pics, however they don't even do this MONSTER justice, remember this is one plant and its got bud spots ALL over it!
Also I included some pics of my NEARLY finished grow tent! About an hour more worth of work and this baby will be about ready to go to work!
Tell me what you think!

I moved the light all the way to the top of the closet, so the burning has stopped thank god, but I was out of town and the plant grew like a foot past the light.. kinda scary.
Yea I know... that would have been bad.. but only two - three branches tops where burned.. so it wasn't bad... considering how big it the top 3" of 2-3 branches isn't bad.

I still can't believe how big that beast is. If I where you I would get some side lighting. Go with CFL's or t5's. I used one CFL and target individual branches and buds that weren't getting enough light. It made a huge difference on the lower branches. The tent looks good. One thing on those reservoirs though, you don't want to put six plants in them. Trust me I learned the hard way. Those are bigger than mine but I wouldn't put more than three in them. I have one in a 8 gallon and it completely dwarfs it. The root mass takes up the whole tub and it drinks a gallon a day. I am switching to one plant per 3.5 gallon buckets.
