Ill let ya have it haha. This is really only the first time Ive added either with a regular feeding. I added a half dose of each with a gallon and a half flush a few days ago. Ill post up how its working


I started flowering at 16" and now Im at 19"
 
ya im gunna have 2 force mine at 7-8 due to high restrictions but ima make it work ;P thanks 4 being a part of my 100th post ;P mines just getting the second set of fan leaves/main leaves w/e groth lol
 
So I dumped the 600w HPS and picked up the $20 150 HPS and 4 more 43w cfl's. Running that 600w for a single plant is obviously over kill and I wasnt able to cool it down like I had wanted.

One question....my plant smelled like marijuana the first few weeks of its life but doesnt seem to smell like anything but grass now. Its on day 18 of flowering. Is this normal???

Ok thanks. I was starting to get scared lol. I dont have a 250w hps. I ordered the 150w hps last week so its not even here yet. Just the cfls for now and I just broke one of them:cry:

I was watering everyday up until I started flowering. Now its down to every 3-4 days and Ive added tiger bloom and a half dose of Big Bloom twice so far. Not sure whats doing it... :joint:

ooh my bad i ment 150...i've done that before cfls arent too easy to break but when you do it sucks cause they cost so much..what were the problems with the 600W again? i would love to have a 600W goin on one plant it would make it so dense and heavy
 
o sweet mine on day seven now went from the first set of fans from 1 and 1/4 to 2 inches accross :D lol and the second set is almost fully in and fanned out ;P

3/4 of an inch spread in 12 hours of dark time ;P

is this one of thows lil groth spurts along the long road ahead or am i just a lil 2 excited lol

the price to run a 600w on a single 20" midgrade bagseed plant just isnt worth it to me haha. The 150w should work just fine with all the cfl to support it and Ill use the hood that holds the 600w..

haha well shit then i would be happy to take that 600 set-up off your hands haha...oh and boney one went from a foot tall to 4' 3.75" and thats the tallest... the smallest is 4' of all in the 5 gallon buckets..
 
no 1 can seem to answer this 4 me but when did u notice the aroma of bud near your plants after preflower or after u started 2 see sum long hairs formin
