"Tha Big Dirty" (NYC Diesel - 74 plants / 2 rooms)

Yeah those lumtek 750w ballasts look pretty sweet. The only drawback with them that I know of, is that they don't make any good (hortilux/sunmaster quality) 750w bulbs yet. You would have to get those cheap GE bulbs. But 750's are the way of the future I think.

buy 1000W bulbs then, they will work just the same as a 750 of the same make/model. they will actually last longer that a reg 750 would. i used to run a 400 in my 250 and it lasted for-fucking-ever.

spent the whole fucking day yesterday running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to get a generator to get me through a power outage.. ended up having to buy one.. but I didn't have enough money & I got declined on the store's credit card app.. found a sweet 8000 watt one on clearance for a grand, went to go pick up a buddy who was gonna use his card for me, got him back to the store like 20 min. later AND THE DAMN THING WAS SOLD!! so it's 8:50pm, store closes @ 9... my lights are due to come on @ 9... so we say "fuck it" & buy the basic 5000 watt 750 dollar pussy model... get it home.. unpack it.. add oil... all w/o a flashlight!!... it's like 9:20... I drag the thing out on my deck to fill it up w/ gas & all the lights in my house come on RIGHT as I'm unscrewing the gas cap.. me & my buddy both just start laughing out loud.. the timing was just stupid funny.. so what do we do? we start cracking beers & celebrating.. (prematurely it turns out) fast forward 2-3 hours later.. we just finish a grubbin' chicken dinner & the power goes out again!!! I proceed to go on a half-drunken, 25 min. mission to get this generator up & running.. I could only get the rooms on half-power on 110v cause of the pussy-fart generator i was using... totally ghetto-rigged with a bunch of zip-strips & extension cords.. the outage lasted about 5-6 hours.. then I was able to get back to normal.. woke up the next morning & took back the generator.. got my money back.. so anyways, as far as the grow itself goes, I cut down the crates the beds were sitting on to lower the canopy away from the lights a bit... I have to stake up side branches daily cause they're flopping over due to the weight of the budz.. I picked up some floranectar too that I just used in the last feeding a couple days ago... still need to get new filters for the R/O... I think that's everything... these nugs stink soooo good you guys!!

HAHA!! Crazy time! How much you expecting to harvest on your rooms? Have you ever worked with bubba?

I have no clue... never worked w/ bubba

haha isn't it great how major problems that are almost fixed fix themselves and then to really say fuck you they fuck up later! glad things are going good bro! you got a big 5 sporting goods in your area? the one here was selling 500w generators for like 250 the other day i know its a pussy model but hey it would at least get your grow room workin right??

everything is still looking good? cant wait to see more pics! awesome grow!!!

I'll get new pics up tonight.. just as soon as the lights come on.. I gotta feed again too...

no feeding tonight... they're fine... here's some pics though... enjoy!!

i have questions about your light mover. you use it so you dont have to get two 1000watt setups? or just to cover a lil more area then what a 1000watt should? im planing on a 2000watt setup with 16 plants under each bulb but if having a light mover would i only have to get one 1000watter?

I originally thought that it would double the growing area... but I believe you only get about 20-25% more coverage.. good luck w/ your grow BTW..

Hey dude, I really like your set-up. Hope everything goes awesome, KUDOS!

super sativa indeed!! damn..

I started flushing the other day.. using a bit of flora kleen... I know it's a bit early for this strain, but believe it or not.. I got mostly red hairs and cloudy trichs on a few of 'em.. gonna chop those in a day or so.. then resume with the "ripen" recipe on the GH website for one more feeding or until the rest are done... then flush again... or I might just continue flushing.. haven't really decided yet.. here's some pics of the finished ones I'm talking about..

yea man as far as dank smellin, lookin great, super trippy sweat-breaking buzz....u cant lose with nyc diesel....i want 2 sea of green shit. looks great scottie
