Thats not to bad i think i may actually get a digital meter soon. ive been using the color drops in the water for a LONG time. Almost to the point where i dont need to measure to get my mixes right:)
I think the digital meter would spoil me :)


Knew You would Love the oxygen meter..that is why I looked..but it is priced outside my pocket money...

You know it but like you said its a bit expensive even for my taste. I figure it will drop in price soon or at least i hope
it would be the fianl part i needed to do an all around test to actually get numbers for the book. Supporting info is always nice

Could get a bit tight in here eh....

Looks like it to me :) but thats only a good thing :)

What size light do you have in there my friend? I have something ticking in my head about the plant size variation
 
How many plants do you reckon are in each of those larger coolers mossy? I can say it all looks lush. makes me want to throw some sliced cucumber, carrot, and tomato on it and eat it like a salad
 
I just want to take a moment and say thank you guys for your time and input. I only follow a couple of threads on this site but they are good ones with good info from those in the know. This is definitely one of the best good stuff with out the kid shit. I have always wanted to get my hands on good seed and just had a hard time believing I could just get them in the mail with out becoming a war casualty or getting ripped off. I just needed this site and the info that people had to share to feel informed enough to jump in and grow

400 w metal halide..I think..

But...
they are all different ages..the middle big pot is the Oguns..they were germed later..
And..
I Think I heat stressed a couple of stumpies in the bx1 pot.

I hit 4 days where the wind was too strong to open the doors to turn the pots...
I noticed that the ones directly under the light stopped..
and the ones on the perimeters of the pot grew as normal..
I thought it was heat stress...

What you thinking...?

Ha ha teflondummy..when I see girls that I really like..I want to eat them too..
my stomach makes a hunger pain association.
Odd isn't it..?

I Think I put either 10 or 12 to germ in the bx1 and f3 pots..

50 % should be Male..so that would leave me with 5 or 6 fems..
(all things being equal.)
and IMO..5 girls is the Optimum amount for that sized pot..in my conditions...

I remember you saying that you had a few that germed later than the rest but i don't think heat stress is the issue
I ran into the same thing in my environment too and when i saw this it brought back some memories.
I too thought it was heat stress causing the stumpies but i think its something else.

I believe in too much light , gasp .....what did he just say!!
I have run into two different instances where there was too much light or it was just to intense
One was bleaching of the fans, i had never seen this before and when i first started running HID
i got to see it first hand, in a nut shell it caused the plants leaves to bleach out. They were going white
The other was with my last big auto run with all the BW and the single Bad betty
remember the size of BB and the larger BW?

Nice size on these ones but they were on the out side realm of the room

then this one spent its life directly under the light

I think that if the HID lamps are too close it effects their vertical grow height causing stumpies. I moved my lights up after that run
and things are way more uniformed. I used to keep the light about 6'in above for the entire grow. Not any more :)

I have cut and smoked one but I made the noob mistake of not waiting long enough. I think I took it a week or two early. It had been pollinated for seed stock and they looked ripe so I cut it to make room. That being said it was dam good, long lasting grin on your face, man its bright out here, what were we doing again? kind of smoke. I can't wait until this one gets the chop the week of Christmas#4day48.jpg

Hey anytime Teflon,
someone along the way had to share with me and i figure i would pay it forward. Im just glad that the auto guys have come together here and brought out the info.
It has been all of us that made this what it is today.

And i have to agree its nice not having the trolls stick around too. Its how you know things are good when you have 141 pages and only had a troll once or twice.
they know that the info here is solid.

NOW i see that HPS color :) good stuff.

LOL i dont mean to offend her i think she sees where i am coming from :fire:
i hope she dont send some bad karma now, i just try to give my little beasties the best environment :)

Its just a theory though but its becoming more solid as i see others grow indoors.
but like you said there is really nothing you can do about it unless you get another light :) then you can run em side by side......just a thought though, although i do like your cupboard there. Nice little tool chest/ but only if people were to open it lol what a surprise.

Its kinda like my stash box. I have an old makeup two tiered box from the 20's or 30's. I also have the matching vanity (for lady D of course) and when i set that old box on the lower shelf it looks right at home, no one even knows what it is....unless they open it :)

Her and mother nature..I don't like to offend either...tends to be an embarassment getting bitch-slapped by them...
ha ha ha..

Actually..remember me saying I killed my first AF's..that was why..mutant..(too strong..) grow lamp.

Its just a theory though but its becoming more solid as i see others grow indoors.

I was gonna ask at the time..you know I am no good with lights..
But..
as soon as I was able to turn the pots again they started to catch up.

I like hiding things in "plain view"...

ethos of AF's..

The more we make them look like Flowers..the easier they are to hide in plain view...

Exactly its the best way to hide something. I cant tell you how long ive had this thing and no one has opened it once. Only other person that knows what it is is lady d and well the rest of you haha.

On another note i was reading some local political info and found this

white choc hadn't crossed my mind... I'll try and let you know!

given all your "too much light" comments... I'm glad I moved my light up sooner rather than later! I did it because I couldn't cover everybody at that distance... but I'm glad for other reasons now!

ps - the canna-choco got me all messed up last night! big smiles! no pain! it was great!
 
Started cutting on my White Dwarf today. I got 35g off the main cola wet, so I guess that translates to about 10g dry right? I'm going to let the rest of her get another day or so of light and maybe fatten up some of the lower buds.
