First Grow, 150w HPS, Afghan Kush with PICS

Yeah, I've thought about adding some CFL's but there isn't much room in my grow cab and don't really wanna put more stuff in there right now, hopefully the 150 will be enough.

Should be enough, I know what you mean by limits to small space haha have the same kinda setup

Looks good man, keep up the good work and posts!

Sucks about your little accident, but that shit happens, and the plant doesn't look too much worse for the wear.

I would suggest throwing a couple cfls on those lower branches--even if space is tight, you should be able to fine some kind of bendy lamp (or shop light as suggested earlier) to get some light down there. Just get the 2700k soft white spectrum and it will be a nice supplement to your hps.

I'm running a 150w hps, in addition to 11 23w cfls, 2 24w t5ho fluoros and one monster 65w cfl. My space is 14"w X 30"l x 30"h, with a removable shelf to expand vertical space to roughly 4.5 feet. The more light you can cram in the more bud you'll get.

Good luck though, they're looking nice!

thanks for the comment man, and I will be updating with pics later tonight....buds are getting thick...

Okay, so a few weeks away from harvest I'm thinking, and actually one of my buds looks like it might be ready to harvest right now, so scroll to the bottom and let me know whether or not I could cut it off and start drying the tester, .

Here is the unLST'd plant (3 days older, and taller):





And here is the LST'd plant:





And here is the bud that I am wondering if I can harvest or not yet? I don't have the magnifying glass that I have to purchase at radioshack or wherever since I didn't think anything would be close to harvest yet, but it seems like half the hairs turned red, so looking for any input, thanks!




As always any comments are appreciated, thanks all

Oh and just wanted to add that my finger is on the 6'' mark on most of those pics so you can grasp how big everything is in relation to it...

they look good but i would think they can fatten up yet.

Subscribed! Nice grow, what height is the LSTed plant? What seedbank did you got your seeds from?

Just judging from my pics I'd say that the height of the LST'd plant is about 16''. And the seeds are Afghan Kush Legend Collection feminized purchased from the Attitude.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I cut off that bud up there pictured where I asked whether or not I could cut it off or not. I bought a 100x illuminated magnifier tonight and the trichs looked cloudy enough so I thought I'd give it a go.

It's a small bud and I used the dankmaster's quick dry steam microwave method listed in the growFAQ, so we'll see what happens, about to go watch role models with everyone so hopefully it's awesome, haha

well to let you all know it did get me high, movie was awesome and i ended up eating a shit ton of food haha so i know it worked, probably not as good as the finished product but still weed nonetheless.

Day 75:









Just started adding molasses yesterday, it is in the middle of the 7th week of flower right now, think I should have about 1-2 more weeks to go and then it's time harvest my first crop!

Woo....already harvest a couple buds since they were done before the rest, but all the others should take awhile longer to mature.

Thanks for any comments

FIRE!!!!! enough said.....

nice girl ...

thanks guys, I've harvested some of the LST'd plant (mostly because I'm an idiot and forgot to water it for 4 days and it all like shriveled up, hah). But I used my scope and all the trichs were cloudy so not that bad, I just think they could have grown a lot more.

Thankfully the unLST'd plant is doing fine and it still needs 1-2 weeks, so looks good as of now.

Will post final wet and dry weight when it all happens.

Was it like dried up or was it just droopy? If it was just drooping you could have just watered her and she would have perked back up.

Yeah I did water them, it was a little past droopy, I'm just letting it go for another 3 days (watering it right now), and then I'll chop.

The other one was just drooping, so it's looking really nice.

Also they both smell different, the one that is alive smells like dank, the other one smells like shit, haha.
