All the fucked up things considered.......yeah not too bad/ not great either

Txchilies said:

PSU, #2 looks like one of the last BM I cut. Not sure if you are gettin the smells yet but you got some chunky buds. As they grow out more, that frost will get thicker on the leaves.

Thanks for the info..........no smell/ due to the small ionizer............and gonzo bags are worthless/ they do nothing

They look like they are filling out and looking frosty. Maybe this light saved those strains

The panel is doing it's job nicely......can't fault it/ This test was over as soon as I flipped these "auto's" to 12-12.......I was told you get nada when you force flower them/ will see, not expecting much

nice sir, get the co2 in there

Can't run CO2 because of my POS timer failing on me TWICE in a week, so I tried to keep 12hrs of darkness on the second failure thus lights on at 3am/i'm getting my beauty sleep at that time usually; so no candles..........And I'm not bringing in my tank/reg kit for these bitches or ever in this room due to space.......

Psu, you are making those babies turn around! Keep it up man, they're on their way! .Have you thought of making a box to use that panel with? I recently bought a 15$ white shelf unit from Home depot. I cut up the insides and stuck two T-8s up the sides,24" from Walmart at 10$,with a Sunshine panel on top. It's vegging a 7 gallon in this tiny space until I finish my led. Waiting on more money to finish up, although I do already have the drivers, just waiting on some 10watt leds and the rest of my foundry set up. Hand made reflector, case, and heatsink!
It would be great to see Han's panel in a cabinet. Walls really keep in the light well. I think that was how Hans got the yields he was able to.
Keep on growing,

P.S. Post Office Day!

My setup is not perfect for one of these panels/ your right I should of hung some more orca on the sides of the fixture, but at this point I don't feel like it anymore; your cab idea sounds great/and a handmade heatsink??bravo......Yeah Hans has his grows dialed in/ but his latest run(setup 12) with one panel yielded much less due to less light obviously and overcrowding his tub......Good luck at the post office friend



Day 81.................1&2....The crappy pics continue................................The weather has really helped them out..............Oh I wanted to mention that I've been watching my meter for awhile now and the room is averaging 500-550ppms(outside my urban area it reads 350-390).....So it's obvious that my sealing job was not 100% tight and in a large apt complex their is allot of CO2 being produced by the tenants.........be safe and happy growing RIU

You've missed so much! Back in the early days of this grow psuagro used to show us how he would scream his plants to life.

Damn Brother Psuagro You Havent Harvested Thoese Biotchs Yet WTF

Longest. Auto. Grow. EVER. lol.

Seriously though. I cannot believe the way psuagro has stuck to his game on these girls. I would've plastered these bitches (ok maybe just #1) against a wall weeks ago.

Yes, I feel his pain after growing this crap strain. Well, it's crap for the way it grows cause I must admit it will slow you down and give you the munchies.

6 weeks in.
Hairs are turning brown.
I've spotted a few spidermites in my closet, neem oil is utilised and seems to work in a preventive manner as I hoped for.
I hope the buds will start to swell soon.
These first pics are whitebalanced:



















Non whitebalanced... obvious

I know how you feel/ we should start a BM auto support group..........this pheno we got sucks/ we learned our lesson..........but I'm smoking these bitches regardless


DAY 83.............#1&2..................Nothing new.............Dawg is on his way over here to kill them both out of principle/ I won't get in his way

....................56watt/43rd day of 12-12/ and the never ending grow continues unfortunately

EDIT: @ Manoos............Nice work with the panels brother.............I would be very careful about using neem oil during flowering..........I would dilute your concentration heavily/ just watch your girls closely....I learned this the hard way

Thanks for the heads up psu,
What damage will neem make, I try to avoid the buds for the sake of taste.
I've never dealt with spidermites before, how fast do they ruin a growroom. I only got a few spotted leaves (eggs) and I've seen a couple of mites. can I go 3 weeks more without any spraying?

I would not spray your girls..........three weeks may be to long to not do anything..........are you willing to use ladybugs??? If so when you get them delivered put them in the fridge(they go dormant) and remove them in cycles and place them on the affected area......slightly mist them with a sugar solution(diluted maple syrup/simple syrup/etc) so they cannot fly off the plants

man0os: if I may make a few suggestions, pluck the fan leaves with eggs on them. Rub the fan leaves with mites on them to kill them, you should be able to see that they were smashed. I wouldn't spray them either. If you have enough time and patience, I would spray a rag or paper towel with the neem and hit each fan leaf individually as to assure you don't get anything on the buds. A quick wipe down of the infected areas and nearby leaves from close proximity plants should be able to get you through the next few weeks. The biggest thing about spider mites is catch them early and stay on them. Hope that helps some. Lady bugs help too like psuagro suggested.

Ha............we are getting there/ gonna scope them soon, but I feel it will be a couple weeks unfortunately..........Patience Dawg!!!


Well Looks Like I Will get 2 Photo's Harvested Before Your Nasty Azz Nirvana BM Auto's Harvested Brother I Would Rep Ya For Your Patience But I Have To Spread More Love

I'd have to say somewhere in the middle it went wrong as the beginning started good and if yours finishes like mine you'll be quiet surprized at the end product. I know in between those bitches just took a shit and nothing worked to get them back. Quantity wise I was very disappointed but quality has made up for some of it, not much but some.

Thanks for the good suggestions guys,
I cleaned the bottom of my plant-container from old leaves, picked off 4 leaves in the top that had eggs on them.
I'm thinking about getting some Phytoseiulus persimilis...

Psu thats' so funny. I laughed so tuff I almost cried.
