this my 2rd grow from seed with short veg time, short veg time really doesn't seem to affect the yield all that muchThanks for the info the plants lookin good still can't belive the results ur having for such a short time u vegged it
12 weeks would be nuts for me, I have little little patience ahahahand thanks for the 'synch' trifase, i was getting a bit worried about the fan leaves
my last strain ripened slow, real slow for an indica, so in my mind i'm still on that schedule
faster ripening feels pretty good, compared to 12 weeks of flower
simple but effective, as it turns out!hey marriedcouple, thanks for the interest
the idea was based on garbage cans grows, they've been around for a while, but i couldn't find the exact dimensions i wanted
so i'll given a quick overview, if you want more details, just ask
the cover is a steel pizza dish, 16 inches, they're sold in walmart
3 lamp sockets were mounted, i used porcelain sockets, they're cheap and available at the hardware stores
3 26w cfl's finish this fixture
the tube could be made from lots of things, i used aluminum flashing from home depot
comes in rolls and is prepainted white on one side, excellent reflecting characteristics
to get a 15 inch tube, cut 4 foot strips, loop it back to edge to edge to get a circular section
that part can be a bit tricky, drill holes 1/2 inch from the edges, small ones for the screws
you need screws to make a good section, tape will not work, at least i had no luck with tape
once you make good sections, you can stack them to get the height you want
that is the really tricky part, i'll explain why if you want details
but the main idea is to stack and join with duct tape, one wrap works fine
the other part here, is the venting, you need to have an about 4 inch hole near the top and bottom
if you look at the pics in the thread, you'll see a pc case fan at the top, this provides the venting
that's a quick overview, i do have another thread that i had a ways back with more pics
actually, i thought about the trashcan quite a bit
what i didn't like(at the time) was the height, just wasn't quite tall enough
of course, i wasn't so up on all the growing methods, such as lst
the size of the cans i had in mind would probably have done better with a 150w hps
quite true, depends on the trashcan size
just checked your grow potseed, good progress there, harvest looks like a month or so away for both of us
done some reads on other PPP grows, one grower who seems to do good grows with PPP says 9 weeks of flower
claims a lot of bulk will get put on from week 8 to 9
I've noticed that too, the PPP plant doesn't seem to suck up water very quickly, unlike the other two which need water nearly every other day.buds are maybe an inch in diameter, best guess, buds/colas are quite leafy which makes it a little tough to gauge
another thing i saw on this other growers log is PPP is not a heavy feeder
he seems to have grown a good number of PPP's, looked like a good source
they way it grew, i thought it was a heavy feeder, but my feed is not too concentrated, kind of makes sense from what we've seen between our 2 grows
your bag seed plants liked your nutes, probably more regular type feeders
