New Setup New Grow 400 hps

Closeup of the auto... Has a way to go, but I'm liking the frost...

Nice pic sunny......Yea cob sannies genetics r sublime.....I've been looking at the herijuana for ages now.I was going to get it with my last order from sannies but I ended up getting his mad scientist......talk about ROCK FKN HARD buds ......phew......now I'm defo on for the herijuana.........I think I could hit a pretty decent harvest using the setup I run(at least 4-6 oz a plant)mabay more if I vegged for a few weeks more 4-6 from seed is my usual sort of veg time........I've also had a look at his sugarpunch and yes it looks like a massive yielded .......but it's quality above all for me so I shall be giving herijuana a go next time I use him........honestly cob I don't think I've ever had better genetics than wot I've had from sannies.......

Sannies is a cool shop. I had never heard of it before. They seem to be serious about good genetics and the pricing is good.

I have messed with every light. I finally upgraded to a 400w hps with air cooled hood. I am glad I did. Cooling the space is so much easier. CFL's run warm and it's difficult to capture all the heat and vent it out. I even had two 150w hps and with the 400w my tent stays much cooler. Normally I run 2-3 degrees above ambient temps.

I sort of wish I had a 600w in my 3x3 tent so it would fill the space better, but I'm pretty happy with it.

Obvious tip but remember to keep your ballast out of the tent to cool it down.

Hey sunny .......sannies seeds was the first time after several grows that made me REALIZE exactly how important GENETICS really are........The man is a GREAT example of commitment and achievement towards our culture and his name proceeds him.........fuk the man will answer his mobile if you ring it.........I spoke to him personally myself........

I've used him twice and I do think despite trying a bunch of other stuff for variety, Sannies genetics have been the most potent and the most stable of them all.
The very first time I decided to go with a seedbank I picked them, and I couldnt believe what I ended up growing myself. Quite a few I grew afterward and even as I got more experienced I still think his stuff is among the very best.
I never ran the Mad Scientist he has but I would like to. I see he's got a few new strains going on now. He doesnt have the biggest selection but what he does have is just outstanding.
I don't know if they cleared up payment issues or not. I'm in the US and he had to quit taking Credit Cards and thats how I preferred to buy. There is also also another provider selling Sannies gear or some of it anyway so last time I went through them to grab the Herijuana and I got a nice purple Killing Fields almost ready to harvest.

Sounds good my freind......

I was watching a video that included Subcool and some other Breeders... i didn't realize what it took to breed a good strain. It takes YEARS to find a good cross and stabilize it. Very interesting. Makes me more thankful for their efforts..

They also said that Fem seeds are a step down from regular seeds. They were a little down on them as far as quality goes, but they understand their place in the growing world.

Yea sunny without the PROPER diehard breeders like Sannie........that do it for the joy and satisfaction......I fear our culture would suffer into the hands of the commersialists.....

You know what is funny? I battled temps for a solid year using 150w hps's and cfl and LED.. I finally stepped up to an air cooled hood with 400w hps and my temps are 1 degree above ambient. I fell kind of silly now

It's all good my freind....you WILL see a big improvement on production as long as that room is kept as close to optimal conditions as possible.......I feel you are in for a pleasant surprise...........

LEMON KUSH sprouted 7/29. Have her under 12/12 from seed. Just an experiment,

I flushed last thursday to try to stop some yellowing issues on bottom leaves. As soon as it dries out I'll re-nute. maybe tonight or tomorrow.

I am a bit surprised with the stretch. I cut the stakes a few inches above the tops when I thought the stretch was over, but now the tops are at the top of the stakes.

All good in the hood though...

I can tell just by looking at the pics ........That smaller one is going to give you some rock hard buds .......reminds me of a plant I grew before.......sannies,mad scientist.....looking good keep up the good work........

Yea, the small one is ready to be plucked. Buds are rock solid. I have some ambers showing and no new white pisitls. She is an auto NLx BB. 73 days old now. It kind of weirds me out that the leaves didn't yellow even though she hasn't had any N for weeks and was flushed. It is what it is I guess.

Thx for following and for the encouragement.

I harvested my auto this evening.. Plenty of ambers I suppose. Today was day 73 so that should be fine. I don't want her to get too couch lockish. I always have a tough time reading trichomes. Maybe it's because I am color blind. Let me know your thoughts on doneness.

Pics of trimmed Auto. She is hanging and drying.

Super Skunk is yellowing quickly. Not sure what to think about that.
No way would I grow the Buddha 76 again. Just don't like it. Skinny buds.
Critical Jack is a cool plant.

43 days since flip.

Group shot
'

Super Skunk
Super Skunk is nearing her end. Probably 10 more days or so. She has been the best out of the 4 so far. Te stems are thin, but the buds are heavy and abundant. Good bud to leaf ratio. Still lots of white pistils, but the trichs are turning cloudy.



NL x BB.
Ways to go on this one. Still needs to pack on weight. Clear trichs.


Critical Jack.
Wish I would have vegged her for another week. She's a real nice plant. Very bushy with tons of fan leaves. I removed some center leaves to let light in.


Bubba 76 ( Bubba Kush)
The jury is still out on this one. I LST'd her, but she has 4 very dominant colas. Not much side branching.Very thick stems and wide leaves. The colas are very long and have buds from tits to toenails. The buds are slender. If they fill out I will likely giver her another shot. Probably a really great mainline candidate.

Seems like they never grow until I create a new post then it's fun to see the changes over the past few days

Everyone seems happy. Good growth. I'm bummed that the Critical Jack looks more like an Afghanni pure bread.
Gave them 300 ppm nutes a few days ago.
Still been topping the back two to slow them down. The Super Skunk is really a good seed. I hope to take some clones.

yea, I guess it's the critical coming out. I was disappointed with the pheno, but It's actually a real nice little plant.
