Looking good, buddy - nice bud development for only 4.5 weeks.
Thanks. I kept thinking I was at 5½ weeks for some reason. I was expecting to see the 6wk explosion any second :joint:. I guess I have another week to wait.


Very nice. Things look good, you're on the track...
Thank you, good to know. I'm getting a bit worried about the height. Not knowing how big some of these colas are going to get has me a little worried.

Does anyone know what I should do about light burn issues? The tip of a couple tall buds look like they have a little white fur ball on the tip. Should I top them?

GH 3-part nutes. I use the full recipe ... plus Silicosis, SM-90, and H2o2. Then, for addbacks I use FloraNova Bloom & H2o2. Complete dump, clean and refill every 12 days.

Pay with credit card, get the breeder's pack and the tshirt.

If you order this weekend at attitude, they include 3 xtra beans from Green House Seeds with every order. So if you order 6 beans, you'll get 5 or 6 freebies ... all from GHS. They're having a GHS special thing this coming weekend only. I might have to stock up some more. I've been waiting for Reserva Privada to get OG 18 back in stock (its not yet).

I had the same issue with my plants that were light-burned - they all developed that white fur ball that you're talking about.

That being said, I'd try to bend them down a little if possible - they're most likely done their stretch at 4.5 weeks, so if it's not too bad looking right now, I wouldn't sweat it too much - how far from the light are they?

Off topic, you might've convinced me to go with a massive water chiller, but I've (shocker) got some questions - any advice over in my journal would be welcome.

I agree with bob they look like they are done stretching for the most part. Looks awesome too! I would not top em, just tie them down or something . . .

Here are some pics with the lights off and a couple just as they are coming back on.

Pic 1: A-Train
Pic 2: A-Train close up
Pic 3: LA Woman burned tops - 1 supercropped
Pic 4: LA Woman close up of white tip
Pic 5: Blue Hash
Pic 6: Blue Fruity AKA. Scud Missles (did I mention I had an alien in here?)
Pic 7: Lights coming on, they are tied up as high as they can go.
Pic 8: Look at the big A in the A-Train hehehe

So you can see I've had to bend LA Woman over a couple times (story of my life ;)). I also topped her once about 2 weeks ago. She was getting roudy. So it is what it is with that bitch. She still looks pretty damn good where she's not bleached or burnt. What should I do about the little white balls of hair at the tip? Should I cut those off?

Man...I dont even know where to start...very impressive....im getting ready to help a friend set up his tent once he gets it...he is undecided on what to get...a 4x4 or the 4x8 that you have there...if he goes with the 4x4 he wants to get 2 of them eventually and use one coe vegging and the other to flower allowing him to crop almost every month depending on what he grows....what do you think...just lookin for ideas...and info...but im lookin forward to see what u come out of here with....i been lookin at that system at the hydro store for a while...i think im sold on it now...

Thank you.

I'm going to be building a new laboratory for a friend of mine in about 3 weeks. We're going to use two 4x9 tents for flowering every month and one 4x4 to veg for them both (only need about 3-4 weeks veg). I'll be doing a journal for it in a couple weeks. We just overdosed his credit card today :)

I look forward to reading about your grow. Good luck.

Hey Smoking, how come two 4x9 tents and not one 10x10 tent?

I'm guessing that the power availability in there is making you have to alternate the flower timing?

Because if not, I think one 10x10 with all 4 1Ks in it would be MUCH more efficient, and would yield you more then two 4x9 tents.

Just think of that light distribution, and the money saved from only one dehumidifer, one atmospheric controller, etc.

Something like this (well, exactly this):

1. 4x9 is easier to maintain and access.
2. Alternating cycles require individual environment conditions. ie I might turn the lights back to 8 hrs during the last 2 weeks of flower.
3. Opposing tents in the garage with an isle down the middle looks better than one big fukr.
4. The small 4x4 veg tent will be the last to go up. We will start both crops vegging in their 4x9 and continue on to flower. One crop will be a 12 week variety (SLH) and the other an 8 week chop. That will kick off the atlernating month of harvests.
5. It's always nice to have a backup flower room.

It is almost double the investment without double the yield. But the trade off is hopefully stability, convenience and consistancy. Plus, we already bought everything ;)

Nice to see those pix of the A-train. Will you be happy with the yield from that strain?
Definately I'll be happy with the yield. It looks like they will be the highest yielding plants in my garden. I love them so much, I just germinated 5 more for my next cycle.

I will be flowering 4 A-Train & 4 Chocolope next, as soon as this cycle is chopped and dried.

Ahhh, gotcha - makes sense; sometimes I forget that there are people who actually grow more then one strain :joint:

BTW, been having an (what I find to be) insightful and informative email exchange with someone over at Hydro Innovations - I'll post the entire exchange in my journal (or maybe in the "Chiller" thread) once I've received an answer to my latest (and hopefully last) query.

Yes we're hoping to have 3 or 4 strains going at all times. At least until we can identify the strains that we really like. Right now it's still a gamble so we can't put all our eggs in one basket (strain).

I can't wait to read your exchange. For now, we've decided to build an open-loop system. When the summer months come, we'll revisit the design and maybe add Co2 and chillers. For the next few months it's going to be no hotter than 75 so we might as well use it.
