Attic grow...

Well the order jus came in a lil earlier than expected and so we began the fun!!

2X berry bomb

2X white whidow/big bud

1X auto sweetooth

1X auto somango

1X white widow/cheese

SO now the "interactive" part. you the people get to decide what i do w/ the white widow n cheese and 1 of each berry bomb and ww/bb!! so lets not get in a tissy match about small things and lets see what comes of this!! they are startin under 4 T12s 6500K grolux and 2X 200W CFLs. I just got 1 of the 2 400WATT CMH (ceramic metal halide) in yesterday.This will be a DWC setup w/ 1 plant per pot. Im goin to vegg all of them under the 2 400W CMHs until the auto's are done and then I will decide what happens as "we" grow along!! 1st time hydro for me and 1st time orderin "good" beans!! And mind you that i am not in a friendly state and some of these gals will be gettin cloned for outside! With all that bein said....lets get a mojority vote for things like LSTin? or toppin?, how long to veg?, Lets keep the K.I.S.S. formula in place pls!

please fell free to ask any questions and comments..

more pics!!............hopefully the reflective film will be in soon and my other 400CMH

What are your flowering lights going to be? If you space the buckets a few inches apart and use 1000watt lights you need almost no veg (going from rooted clones anyway)

Not sure what system your using, but it might be a good idea to put a tarp down. Few gallons of green water can fuck up a house - just one reason basements are way better than attics.

The 2X 400watt CMH can veg and flower all in 1. It is said that 2X 400 watt CMH is equal to 1000 mh/hps...w/ less heat and caplable of getting closer to the plant...so guess we'll find out together!! and tarp will be goin down this wknd.

now this has nothing to do with your grow.... but you really shouldn't have put fiberglass insulation in your rafters because the hot and the cold meet and cause condensation and has no were to go and rots your roof away. you must have very good air flow between your roof and insulation, that's why most people insulate the attics floor. but there are proper ways of using fiberglass and you very well could have did that but im just saying this because i did not seen any vents in the pics just fiberglass, btw the grow area looks sick man your gonna have a sick flowers soon! good luck!

I think your right, but I thought the reason was that excess heat builds between the shingles and insulation and damages the wood.

Grow are very nice indeed get some big ladies in Ther ... Sounds like a nice set up as well bro you should do well..

As for lst and topping ... I have topped and regretted it straight away taking the main node off not good. I all ways (fim) my girls . Do you no what dimming is..


As for lst good if youv got no hood height in your flower , room. But still good for large areas..

Topping no way.... Lst yes good method... Fimming all the time I love it the top canopy growth ....


Peace!

I gotta a 3ft exhaust fan on the side of building for exhaust when summer is in and humidity gets outrageous and it also has the normal eaves that are vented all the way round. Also,if your felt is layed right when your roof is done, condensation wont get under there...hope this helps!!

I topped a few of my ladies that was outdoors las summer and wished id did it to the rest...Im very familiar w/ lst but what is fimming? is that trimming all the bottom branches?!..

FIMMING is where you pinch the main growing shoot stem to make it fall over. This allows the plant to bush out rather than up.

You can FIM as many shoots as you want but its always best to use the leader shoots. Those that are the highest on the top of the plant.
