Wink everything looks great man but i am wondering...

The close up bud pics...are you planning to chop those soon? Maybe I misunderstood, but those ones dont look like they're ready brother!

very nice wink dogg, i just read yer whole grow journal, very informative!
thanks you much!

what strain are your plants?

420weedman · Mar 19, 2009

nice wink, you have any plans made up for your new room ?

i want to re-do mine as well

winkdogg420 · Mar 19, 2009

i dont want to put the cart before the horse again , i do have some stuff just starting ... i thought they looked too young too jessee but the trichs are turning and the two tops i clipped already are mostly amber .. these are not going to get bigger in the lil containers

i will let them finish up though...here are a few ideas i an kicking around weedman.. :wall:

now that i have the hids im not sure what im doing now..

420weedman · Mar 19, 2009

so your making a cabinet ? not a room ?

winkdogg420 · Mar 19, 2009

no,the same 4x4x8 space but take better advantage of the space right now its flower or vegg .. its in flower mode and the vegging is happening in my bedroom in a cardboard box lined with mylar

right now im using 4x4x4 cube and the bottom is empty wasted space so i willl double the space by using the bottom

420weedman · Mar 19, 2009

iight, looks good flower up top veg on bottom.
is this in a closet ?

my room in my basement is 6x9 x8 tall
i want to re do with sheet rock and make a little longer
rearrange the veg room and have a little bit more flowering space
and have a real wall separating the 2
and some real doors ... lol

i have 2x400watt hps 2x400mh 1x250mh ..all just parts from the craigslist guy...i cant use anywhere near all that power i bought them as a package deal... here is a pic of the room mostly cleaned out just waiting for the three 12/12 girls to finish up

oh yeah i had gnats for less than a day! i just cleaned the room with light bleach and put sand on top of my soil and water from the bottom

(attention random readers)
im not a newb this is a brainstorming session for all that have followed my grow thus far

i dont need anyone to tell me cfls suck i still need to use some in vegg and clone

when im done building i will sell off all my extra hids for what i paid for them...or maybe keep them??

i know it sounds crazy but im really thinkin 400mh in the flower room and cfl in vegg/clone... i know , i know, hps for flower and mh for vegg but alot of the og growers swear mh makes stronger weed by developing more crystals than the hps and the buds dont get as big so the thc is spread out less...sounds good to me ...

now you guys know why things are taking a while....

winkdogg420 · Mar 19, 2009

its a room i built in the basement but its not really framed and sheetrocked so i could make it bigger but i think 4x4x4 x 2 is enough for my needs ....

word man you need a bigger room ... mines like yours ... just double .. and i keep all my crap under a big table that has a divider between the 2
CFL for veg rocks, i would try one of the dual bulbs mh & hps and ad some uv lighting

winkdogg420 · Mar 19, 2009

here is why i started thinking the mh for flowering and everything else i have read on the subject seems to agree ............here is a quote from USERFRIENDLY

"people change to hps because they don't know any better. Its what someone told them was correct. The red light is going to grow slightly bigger LESS POTENT buds because the trichomes/resin is dilluted by the slightly bigger nugs. The rise in plant material is not proportionate to the rise in trichomes. The halides pump out uvb which force the plant to insulate and protect themselves with more trichomes/resin. Believe that. If you want connoisseur nugs, you grow with halides."

this just makes sense to me im sure a few brows will be raised!!

420weedman · Mar 19, 2009

maybe ill swap out my hps tonight with the MH and let it go for a week ... see if i notice a change

i would get one of the dual bulbs but i think they only come 600 or 1000 watt

winkdogg420 · Mar 19, 2009

i could just make the room 8x4x8 and keep everything off the floor i have a drawling of that somewhere...oh here it is

420weedman · Mar 19, 2009

yea i like that one ... move the bud box under the table
and hang 2 400s for flowering ON the table

winkdogg420 · Mar 19, 2009

i have to build reflectors for all of them(they are just dirty parts in a milk crate

)so i guess i could do a dual spectrum... im really happy with the electric bill so far i know when i throw the big boys in there its going to get pricey..i run 460 real watts of cfl with no bill change bc i cfled the rest of the house i dont know where i can save another 400-650 watts???? i was also thinking 400watt metal halides and some 2700k cfls in flower for the mix...

winkdogg420 · Mar 19, 2009

i dont think i can smoke that much bud in 3 months .. i am only growing for me and i dont want to get to the point where i have to sell .. i guess i could give some away to some older patients i know??? i never thought too much weed would be my problems....

420weedman · Mar 19, 2009

im considering switching my veg room to 17/7 to save a little
HPS is text book for flowering, id like to find more info before ruling it out
you could do 1 hps 1 MH and rotate your plants around .... i do so every couple of days my self

winkdogg420 · Mar 19, 2009

i can also move the drbud style bud box to my room so i have some plants near me at all times??

winkdogg420 · Mar 19, 2009

yeah i always shuffle the plants around anyway...
