Club 600

green leaves mean a longer cure is in order... green leaves mean chloryphl.... which means harsh taste..

I've done a test before.. and the unflushed bud was harsher.. and had more of a hay smell to it..

The flushed bud was much smoother much quicker.. the difference was clear during the test before the cure..

yes, i am growing in a rental unit, but it is my own rental unit. we can either rent it out or i can grow in it and cover the rent, or lack thereof, myself. so this unit would normal produce 800 dollars a month. i must do at least that to make this worthwhile.

if you have everything dialed in then your plants will be green up until it's almost time to harvest. when you get to the 2 weeks before harvest point you stop feeding. in those remaining two weeks your leaves should fade to yellow.

nice ratio! haha i wonder about the heritage of some of the stuff on white label but i guess its the new nirvana really.

those laws bout the coffee shops are crazy i didnt reralise they were all fed by guerilla growers thats nuts, id have thought the government would have that shit locked down

They do in the sense that they get the taxes from the coffeeshops, and then don't have to upset the Eu even more by actualy producing the weed....imo

lovely stuff Don I know im not a member of the 600 club but i lurk lol. I think its a fine balence with the leafs turning yellow at the right time at the latter stages of blom i thinmk its good to use up the plant, i find it happens wen u stop feeding for flushing lol. bang on time in coco.

DST very interesting bit on the coffee shops. So it seems its just as if they popo is looking the other way. Thats cool i think its time that the rest of the world recognize this concept. Im still curious who the artist is in your vid backround music, Some pretty good beats.

I dont have nearly as much experience as you on the subject of the leaves turning. I personally just pluck the dead ones as they are ready to fall of. And like mr west said ive noticed after flushing around late week 6-7 that they will start to suck all the sugars out of the leaves and IMO is what a matured plant should do. I have noticed a diffrence in the taste more than anything. The bud thats has run its normal lifes coures and leeched for its sugars will give a more earthy flavor and aroma, VS a bud that was pampered up to harvest will still contains some elements of the nutes. Just my 2 cents not saying im right by any means and dont wanna open a can of worms hahaha. Everyone does things a little diffrent. To each there own.

Lookin quite tasty don nice pics.

PT can you give us an example of how you finish your flower cycle?.

Peace 1BMM

The Music is by Adrian Sherwood and it's from a double album called Becoming a cliché / Dub cliché, sorry, forgot about that. Or if you look for stuff on the On-u sound system, there is a lot of similar stuff. British dub reggae.

Hey dude,

I'm doing a Nebula, Hashberry, White Russian, White Widow, AK 47 and a Super Silver Haze.

As you can see from the pics, they took off nicely with the 250w - can't wait to see what the 600w can do, though hahaha

I know they'll only veg under the 600 for 2 weeks, but at least their flowering will be fine

Love the hedgerow. I've put these pictures in my grow room to show my girls what they should look like.


Don

Your ladies are coming along nicely. Keep up the good work.

OPINIONS...they are like ass holes...everyone has one and they all stink...lol
now my opinion is that should try to keep your leaves green until the plant is harvested...they are the receivers of the light that is used to convert the fuel into energy, which is needed for bud developement. I'm a follower of Uncle Ben and will post his site if requested.

Ok, so general opinion, leaves start yellowing when feeding stops, flushing. So why are my leaves falling of at week 5 (the Casey Jones) Yet is stinks the most, has the biggest bugs, and looks the stickiest?
The other plants leaves are starting to yellow at the bottom as usual. I am just feeding with BN Gron and PK13/14.

Am I doing something wrong?

Any more opinions welcome.

Back to the roast chicken....

My two cents on the whole flushing issue. I don't think I'll ever flush my plants again, which leads to the leaf yellowing thing. Rather than argue the point about whether the leaves should yellow or not, I prefer to look at growing as an individual experience from which we all learn and eventually develop some type of style of growing.

I did not flush my last grow. I cannot be more pleased with the stone and especially the taste. I lighten up on my nutes as the end approaches and I also stop worrying about whether my leaves are turning yellow or not. I seriously doubt if I will ever achieve the perfect crop, so I'm not trying and worrying myself to death about it. I'm trying to improve each grow and also try different things until I do find that style of growing I like. I don't stick to any regiment, I observe my plants and try to understand what they are saying. The only thing I do use consistently is a moisture meter.

richie, I'm really curious to see how your nebula and super silver haze grow...and smoke. I have one female ssh but I saved it until I gain some experience with growing sativas.

I entered my Malawi 99 in the daytona 500, she won't finish for another thirteen weeks.

Here is what she looks like at the start of the race, I'll provide updates as the race (slowly) unfolds.

The first pic is the malawi 99
the second is arjan's haze #1
the third is the sour cream and strawberry haze
the last is a group pic

the jock horror is in the middle...all mutilated.

evry one has some very great pics of they babies nice job everyone, and on the yellowing on the leafs i would say keep it green as long as possible and when flush starts u should see yellow wich i think would be good. i have read that marijauna is most potent on the downslope of its life cuz its tryin to survive, so if the leafs were yellowin it means the plant is gettin ready to die, thus leading to more petent bud, but everyone has opinions, and what works best for them. this is just my opinion.

So are people adding Nitrogen into flowering period to keep it green? So using doses of veg nutes once a while into the growth?

i have heard of people doin it, and if mine start to yellow to soon i will be adding some veg nutes to see if it helps.

also today i put the rest of the vegging plants into flower today, my room is gettin full, heres a few pics. i have a total of six in the flower room, and i will be getting some new clones to start veg in a week or so

I don't use a flower nute without nitrogen. I'm currently trying an NPK of 1-3-2 for my flowering phase. I add foxfarm grow big if I think my girls need the extra boost of nitrogen during flowering. I'll generally give it half strength a couple times in the course of a week. Again, it all depends for me how far along I'm into flowering if I'm worrying about yellowing in the leaves.

i have recentley started addin n during bloom...cant tell u how important it is to keep as much green foilage as possible..it makes me gringe when i see ppl rip of fan leaves like thier no big deal...fan leaves are like the sugarshacks for your buds if u start to go yellow b4 week 7 i would add n...for sure..just my 2 cents

exactly your plant will tell u what it needs

Hey a quick question someone say a 600hps throws out better lumens then the 1000hps or 600 is as good as a 1000hps. What you guys think? And how much more on your electric bill does a 600hps uses. Thanks +rep for good info

Happy valentines all. Just got done eating a meal fit for a king. Been busy getting ready for my next grow. I scrapped the 220v idea for now only because of the need to buy all new timers for the 220 dedicated line. Which i may do later. Im still gonna wire the 220v line in incase i need to run an ac unit when warmer temps arrive. And hopefully soon im fucking sick of winter. Ready to get back to work. The fucking unemployement just aint cuttin it no more.

Anyways i got all my wiring done last night and all is well. Heres a few pics of the remod progress. enjoy 1BMM



Welcome to Galaxy 5-0-0. A very good song by Clutch, Jesus on the dashboard.
I would rather have the black & white poly but its to late for that.



Keeping all electrical up high in the room on a hydro system is important . And im not cutting no corners folks.




mom/clone/veg all wired up. gonna be nice to have a good space to clone in.


And tada! Week1 Veg.


WTF..... I just noticed this tiny little sprout as i was about to close it up for the day. Well theres the proof of how bad my last crop was seeded out. I reused just enough of the old soil from that crop to start over and it seems i had some viable seed in there. Im almost tempted to let it grow, But ohh fuck its probly the herm strain that fucked me last grow

Needless to say i will be getting some new soil to grow up these 3 to clone off.

Well ive just got to get the plumbing in and were off to the sog or scrog well see. Peace out.....

yes a 600 watt put out more lumens per watt. making it more efficiant it isnt brighter, but more efficiant, if i had to choose to run 2 1000 watters, and 4 600s id go with the 600 it is also easier tocover more area with the light, and my bill only goes up about 30 dollors

Thanks alot for that cuz I was going to go with a 400hps then I seen the diffrence with the 600 I was like I got to get that, then someone said 600 are just as good as 1000 I was like Great. $30 isnt bad at all Thanks bro +rep

IMO that PK might be cutting out the N and you might not have a good amount of N for flowering to beggin with... ?? you'd have to lay out alot of information for anyone to make a good guess though....

I had some premature yellowing on my master kush's but the runoff ph was 5.0-5.2 so I think that had an affect on it.. they never got really dark green but the tips burned a bit.. wierd.. not sure if it's strain specific... or just the type of N you give the plant?? anyone wanna shed light on that?


I start only water (normal watering amount with a generous runoff) for first week and then i flush it at the beggining of the second week and check the EC and make sure it's clear of nutes.. and water for the next 7-10 days till when ever it ripens nicely.. then she comes down..

I use the same nutes through growth and flower but add stimulants for flowering pk14/14 (EDIT I mean 13/14)

Not sure why the PK would cut out my N?

Both of the Casey Jones have been planted in a soiless growth medium with added nutes for veg, both of them you could not have seen healthier plants going into flower so there was no N deficiency IMO there. I am hitting them with BN Grond (Dutch for Earth or Ground) and this is used from start to finish of the grow. There are also slow release nutes in the soiless organic mix as well.....This is the first grow of the Casey and they are exploding, the buds are continuing to grow, just the fan leaves are slowly dropping off.....everything else about the plant is A1....perhaps it's just the way the plant grows....What other information would people need? (sorry I don't do ph run -off's, EC, or PPM's, I am kinda like Heads Up, and do it more by eye (which sometimes in Organics can be problematic I guess.)
