thanks! and yes a lot of work but very rewarding. I might change some things next time around like more clones more plants and less veg time... we'll see.

sorry i have one pic of her she is a clone from a reveged outdoor plant from last year.....i am kinda ashamed of it but i grew it so big to take clones from like a mother and she just got unruly but i have clipped probably 25 or 30 clippings trying to learn to clone and had ok success but like i said she is only under a 150 hps but here i have supplimental cfls they are 65 watt and there are 2 of them....this is about 2 weeks ago before she went to flower and under her screen......

Thanks Mel. I was planning to downsize it a little bit. Like maybe down to about 12-16 inches long. My cab is not big enough for a monster filter and that carbon would get expensive. Those ladies sure are pretty. Hard works pays off in the long run. You onlt get what you put in. Good Job!

I'm gonna guess a lb to a lb and a half from the 2, just for shits and giggles. I think I may be under though, if all goes well. Awesome photto shoot
Oh man! I wish...hope the ganja gods feel like giving me a lots of resinous buds

OH MEL!!!
NICE!!! whats some nice wood there man! those babies have nice close nodes and thick ass trunks. i assure you the foundation has been laid for some serious buds.
with trunks like that the root base is fully developed and able to abosrb all the nutes it will take to load those bables to the point of needing support.
thanks for the pics, i love seeing gnarled branchinig lol

Just subscribed after reading through your journal. Very nice grow going on and I like your setup. I'm currently finishing up my 1000w DWC grow, two or three more weeks left on two BC seedking sour diesel genetics and an AK 47 bagseed. Their seems to be alot of good advice so far and the only thing I can say is stay dilligent cause there always seems to be something!

hey if you dont mind me asking what kinda power bill increase do you see with a 1000 watt like i said earlier i am planning going balls to the wall but just wondering and also what is you killowatt per hour rate in your area.....not sure if a 1000 watt is cost effective as a 600 anyways as far as lumen to watt ratio

I have a $45 increase but I just bought a 600w with a light mover for that exact reason! I'm going to use it after I finish up my current grow.

I started with 1k but I added a 400w about 3 weeks ago
This is how much 1400w cost me monthly using the lights 12 on 12 off
Total bill amount is 219.80
Total kWh (kilowatt hours) consumed 2338kWh
Total Cost $219.80 ÷ 2338 kWh = $0.09401 per kWh (in my area)
Total kWh (kilowatt hours) consumed 2338kWh
Total Cost $219.80 ÷ 2338 kWh = $0.09401 per kWh (in my area)
12 hours per day x 30 days = 360 hours ( time of operation)
360 Hours x 1400 Watts = 504,000 watt hours ( connected load or Watts)
A kilowatt (kW) is 1000 watts
504000 watt hours ÷ 1000 watts = 504 kilowatt hours (kWh as on the electric bill)
360 Hours x 1400 Watts = 504,000 watt hours ( connected load or Watts)
A kilowatt (kW) is 1000 watts
504000 watt hours ÷ 1000 watts = 504 kilowatt hours (kWh as on the electric bill)
504 kWh x $.09401 per kWh = $47.38 cost of operation for 1400w @ 12/12
Did all that for 18 hrs on a day with 1400w and came up with $71.07 a month
To answer your question the monthly cost of a 1k in my area is $50.76 @$0.09401 per kWh if used 18/6.
