Club 600

Ok 600's I need your help and expertise in a major way. I have a question and a problem. My plants are huge, I need to make a decision.
I understand that the vedge cycle isnt peoples favorite part of the grow journal. but...

They are officially growing above the light. I could top my main lady, we are in week 5 of vedge and I wanted to flip to 12/12 ASAP so they don't get much bigger. I plan on raising the lights, I have about another 2-3 feet to do so in my area.

Should I top my plant now, give it a week to heal up, and then flip them using 1200W ? I need everyone's advice on this one. I don't wanna cut my lady, but I will if she needs it. Also, if I cut her top off, can I give it some rooting hormone and clone her?

Also, in a week, I will have more money for nutes like bud ignitor , big bud etc.

both way's sound good,IMO,i would pinch the topp,wait a week,blast'em wit the 1200w.

ok finished her up heres soe pics of her hangin. after she drys up a bit i will manicure them so they are all bud and no leaf. and then into the jar to cure for awhile. i wil end up with about 2 ozs dry from this plant. my other plant i beleive will produce 3-4 ozs. it is much fatter. i am cutting her in 7 days. i will take pics of my other plant rite before harvest and after harvest. till then no other pics unless its my dryed weed thats goin into jars.


also since i still have alot of nutes left over and they are all about 6 months old. all chemical nutes and a few organics. my question is how long will these be good for cuz i spent alot of cash on them and want to save them for my indoor crop after my summer grow is done. so about 6--8 months of them just sitting their think they will stay usable for that long.

thanks genuity, i will still have a few pics for a few weeks, i am keeping my tiny budding clone going for a few more weeks but im gonna finish her outddors in my back yard she is small enought to hide well. just have to move her into the dark every 12 hours, she aint nothin spectacular but somthin to keep me on riu while i cant grow real plants. and mabye if my grower is chill enough i can take pics of my plants and what not.

Hey everyone, great show of pics. GnomeGrown, McPurple, Interga, BudgetGrower (with yer freak alien bud) and our new member Shredder4. Awesome stuff everyone. And McP, also nice harvest there....

A Q to answer, Thatguy858, perhaps instead of topping, why don't you super crop and tie them down. Super cropping is the business IMO, and this will also eliminate the couple of days of stunted growth that topping does. When you tie them down, within 15 minutes they will be resisting against your ties and trying to reach the sun. haha. This is going to make the plant pump extra power into those areas of your plant...you will be satisfied, I guarantee. Plus with super cropping and LST, you instantly have as many colas comin off the branch as you do have bud sites. IF you need any more info, feel free to PM me.

Peace to all, happy weekend folks,

DST.

yep i'm with D on the LST and supercropping, worked well for me esp it was the 1st time

What up 600. OK I LIKE THE NEW SITE. Just pissed me off that my 2 hour long update i was sorking on got lost in the process. Any hoo going to get up some new pics here today. Thinking its time to cut a hole in the grow room wall and put in my AC unit. Temps are getting in the danger zone.

On another note I took clones from 4 0f the 5 new strains from dinafem & ghs and they have rooted. I see some 12/12 & dual 600 HPS running in there by days end. Peace and happy Saturday all. Update with pics a lil later. 1BMM.

can i join the 600w club even though i am growing with 600w of LED not HID?
here are some pics of this leds light i am testing out. please tell me how it looks compared to a 600w HPS grow. ive never grown with a 600w hps. any feed back i would be thankful.

4 LST plants. day 49 of flowering, they should go to day 70 or so. two XJ-13 (on left) and 2 Hindu skunks (on right) they are grown in soil, with NO co2 added. using GH flora series. what is the avarge yield from a 600w hps plant to compare this grow to? or the avarge yield for a 600w hps grow?

Top of the Sunday Morning to ye lad!! Welcome to the 600 Irishboy, good to have someone on board who is looking at things in a slightly different light spectrum. And your ladies are looking mighty happy in there. What is the LED set up you have? Got some pics? My very good mate is an electrical engineer and swears by LEDs (he's not a grower though) Cost effective, controlable, etc.
I cannot say much about LEDs but my misses has just been messing around on a photo shoot with a bank of LED lights (Massive attack stylee....basically the same as in this video. It is unbeleivable what effects you can get out of these things. Controlled by electircal inputs, etc. Fekkin awesome.
