LOL I would love a good dusting in my neck of the growbox too! I swear that when I move there will be a honest to goodness Box that will keep temps down and have my shit looking as nice as yours... Mark my words! lol

great work so far!

curb, wondering if you've done any reading about how when you harvest has an effect on the high the bud produces. Something about CBD and THC in differing amounts. I think I'll make 3 harvests over 3 weeks and see the difference in high for myself. Just something to think about over there in the norfwess.

Yeah, I have read that if you have white trichs its more of an energetic high, and with amber trichs its more couch-lock. Im unsure if this is true. I will possible do 2 harvests... It just really depends.. I dont think I am going to get massive colas because I didn't really LST #3 at all, go figure.

Long as I get enough herb to last me to another harvest I'll be good. I think my 2nd grow will be banging for sure!

I have no heard of CBD vs THC or anything tho. I should look into it

thc degrades and becomes cbd at last stages of flowering. i have seen a big difference in harvest times affecting the high. unfortunately it has been different strains every time. anyway im a believer, if you harvest early u get a more cerebral energetic buzz, the more mature the harder heavier hitting make you eat the whole weeks worth of food type shit. i mean strain and indica-sativa and all that shit comes into play but so does maturity. peace

nice grow man I jus have one question I have some of those light bulbs but they don't glow that White color they glow kinda orange is there a difference they say they r 26watts

the white bulbs are a different color temperature. 6500k or DAYLIGHT as the package usually says have a lot of the blue wavelengths that the plants need most when they are in vegetative growth, but I can truly consider myself qualified to say that you can still grow a big plant with the color temperature that you seem to have and are also the ones I have used almost exclusively are the 2700k which have that yellowish orange color that has the red wavelengths that they need most during flower. If you ever went over to using HID bulbs you would find this color temp in a high pressure sodium (HPS) bulb, which can grow a plant from veg to harvest.

The standard advice is you can grow great bud with only using 2700k color temp. lights for the entire grow, but if you want to optimize your plants lighting you couldn't use the 6500k for flower because it has barely any of the red that the plant needs. If you want HID's you would find that metal halide (MH) would give off that color and you would change to HPS for 12/12.

There is another HID bulb called a mercury vapor (MV) but I have enough mercury in my grow as it is and don't even want to know what it does!

Sorry I ran off with your question, Curb. Just knew the answer really good and couldn't help myself.

Its all good

Days since ground-break: 63 days
Days of 12/12: 29 (4 weeks, 1 day OUT OF 10weeks)
Number of plants: 1
Lights: (1) 150w HPS, (1) 42w CFL, (2)26w CFL
Lumens: 15,000 + 2,700 + (2)1,600 = 20,900

Yesterday I watered #3 with a super full dose of BigBloom. It's hard to tell how much a dose actually is... the foxfarm schedule on their site says differently than their bottle and their bottle has 2 options.. So who fucking knows...

I did 3tbl per 1 gal... But I only did about 85% of that... The other 15% of the gal was h20. It was much stronger than usual.... So far I dont see any bad side effects to doing that.

I found a pic from 4 days ago, and overlayed it with a pic from tonight. The growth difference is good. I'm diggin it.

I have those CFLs on the right side and since I put the chicken-wire in I cannot rotate my plant, so it's always getting more light on the right side. The difference isnt super noticeable but it is somewhat noticeable.

Im getting more frost...

Urchins are sexy....

I did a lot of tests with the lights and determined that I was leaving the 3 CFLs on overnight and the temps were up in the mid 90s... so I killed the (2)26w CFLs and left the 42w on.. and it was getting to about 90... So, the past few days I have done it like this:

5pm-my bedtime = 150w, 42w,(2)26w BUT, i keep the box open about 1inch keeping temps at 80-85
my bedtime-5am = 150w with closed door

At some point I need to do the test that runs the (2)26w with a closed door so I can gauge the temps for this combo..

Also, I still dont have a massive amount of odor.. can you guys believe it? Even with the door open... like I said.. every evening the door to the boxed is slightly open and the closet is totally open... no odor... HOWEVER, sometimes when I am in there dicking around I will get a strong whiff of bud... but then it will fade away... strangest thing ever...

I have scentless herb. lol

I am actually thankful.. I love the smell of bud, but dude.. I am NOT trying to battle with that shit. No way, I have run into financial hardships and really dont have the ability to battle the odor monster. *knocks on wood*

Good work! That powdered sugar is starting to build up.

I think the weed gnome visited you last night and threw some sugar on you plants...

O and +rep because I can now.

gimme some sugar, i am your neighbor!

LOL @ your guys' comments. You rock!

Only 2 more hours until lights on!

hmm i really dont see the deal with all these nute's people give there young plants all my mate's 2young white widow were grown under 1x 250w cfl envirolite 6400k
and @ 2weeks were about 7inch's tall and about 9inch's wide with loads of new foliage like i really was shocked lol guna be a bud spree when they grow up !! i was just suprised how fast they took off after the first week under that light amazing the diffrence it makes also they looked so much nicer than most plants ive seen under hps for veg

neway man nice grow bro what was the smoke like ??? ps they started to smell after about 8days lol it was crazy then he sprouted 1more and after like 5days that started to give a really fruity smell and at 5days old i was really laughing @ it all he fed them for the first 2weeks is pure tap water only ! xD done the job and plants seem so much healthy than all these one's with nute burn and fucked leaves ..do people just chuck nute's in lol thats how it seems they read something and bang there doing it just with no nute's these look much nicer + greener than most ive seen on the site dosent seem to make em grow fasterr or busheyer ..as my mate has shown that his grew much better without for some reason...ofc people will dissagree but that will probably be those who have always added nute's so young and are use to having nute burnt plants xD

ummm...maybe i need another coffee because that was tough.
