Well well well so this is what ive been missing! First of all ive got to have a word with Terrorizer and DC for not letting me know about this outstanding grow, man you did your thing on this one im most impressed with the fact that you did'nt use all kinds of tweeks and stuuf to get your results, just straight up grow. That is what im looking for in a grow much props and lots more to read and learn from this journal i speed read most of it..so ill be finishing this one up before i get to your next one...Peace:bigjoint:
yeah its weird, ive been following dc and terror since november, its taken a while for our paths to collide! the grow i have similar to yours is my 400w hps closet bloom. the things that make me excited about my closet bloom is 1- temps staying under 80* and humidity under 50% with no air conditioner, i fell that this is attributed to my 4"inline sucking through the light and filter, and blowing all of the hot air into the attic. even with the magnet ballast, which is mounted over head, raised on 2x4" for insulation, the room stays cool. exhaust ia way more important than intake!

2) the side lighting and hortilux bulb. my first bloom room has a normal 600w hps bulb, this round i went with a hortilux eye bulb, and 2' 4-bulb t5 fixture as side lighting. with the side lighting, im hoping that this grow will rival my 600w hps bloom room

3) i picked up a hydro farm glass sealed hood this round, its supposed to be better than an extra sun hood, we'll see!

thanks man, im real happy with my results, i feel that im now dialed in and self sufficient perpetual. the style that worked for me was fimm, lolly popp at the beginning of bloom, and strong nutes throughout. flush once a month, and at the end of bloom, i just got lucky with thriving clones that are hungry for nutes, always!

Lookin great man, love to see it goin so smooth.
thanks man, i could say the same for you!

Looking excellent my brother. Don't really have much to say, take it as a good thing LOL
i know, nice to have you stop by. just some nez setups here, but the dust has settled. time to see these ladies get fat now!

Lookin' great bro... Looks like you really have the grow bug! Which makes me curious, how do smoking and growing rate against each other these days? I'm at a point where growing is at least equal; the smoke bothers my lungs and sinuses to a point that I really don't have a desire to smoke out like I used to. I'd like to get a vape, but those things are so damn expensive, it's hard to budget it in (esp when I could get a new 600W for just about the same dough).
the bug has officially landed! just got done with the last transplanting for now, just watering here on out till harvest. adding one room is so much more work, but way worth it.

now that im smoking again, things are great. i find myself only occasionally hittin, more as a reward. the thing i crave every day, really, is my setup! its so rewarding to see life, thriving!

i thought that i was the only one who was allergic, going in the room in full bloom makes my sinuses go haywire! what i used is a down-stem less glass on glass, waterpipe, its the one in my avatar. it hits hard, but with the downstem built into the piece, you really only need to hit it once!

I like the different bloom rooms you have competing :-o
i know bro, im sure youll be tuned in to see how they both yield! its funny, not many people would know the excitement that these two rooms create!

oh, you know ill get some good pics of that beast up! its gonna be nice because this harvest in a week or two is only one plant.

in a month, on the other hand. im gonna have to harvest like 7 plants, thats gonna suck! im gonna cut my plants down to 4 plants in each room, i think, next time.

thinks looking chill y'all. weird, no real news, things are just going smoothly. the things going on my mind now are dialing it in better. the plants in the bloom closet were vegged too long, i think next time im gonna super top them a week before bloom, and super lolly popp them.

my main problem in the bloom closet are its dimensions 2'5"x 4'. i think my problem is im used to my bloom room dimensions 4'x 4', so the 2'5" deep is hard for me to work with, i guess i just dont know the method!

Looks good bro, hey as far as the 2.5x4' closet goes, just try to put the shorter ones in the middle and the taller ones to the sides inside the closet forming a U-shaped canopy under the light.

I used to grow in this, which is about exactly the same dimensions as what you're talking about. Yeah that's why I upgraded to a bigger tent too. ; )

great pics dc, thanks man, some good encouragement. how much would you yield it that closet, was that a 400whps? yeah, thanks for bringing up the taller plants on the outside, i forgot about the plant heights, and positioning method, thanks.

looking good drella :blsmoke:

both bloom rooms look like they might burst at the seam :weed:
yeah man, they're for sure maxed out, i hate it when there's a little space of unused light, thanks brotha!

thanks for the compliments mang, im loving the white widow! my strain is technically, actually, white widow/morthern lights, cross with 3 cheese. 3 totally leafy monsters, the leaves are stringier and sativa like. it also looks like its gonna have a monster yield, i just flushed today, results coming soon!

just flushed the WWNL3CHEESE today. because it was only 1 plant i just stuck her in the sink and ran the city water through her. last gallon was some ph'd water mixed with general hydroponics floralicious, molasses liquid mix. she needed some serious straping, so i zip tied and bamboo strapped for support. calyxes are swolen, i wanna see how she looks when the plant gets dry in the pot in 4-5 days.
