1st Log, closet grow

[ebsters]

I just signed up for this site, i have been reading for about a month now. A lot of useful info on here.

So i decided to get started on a grow.

Here is my setup.
Lighting
1 4 ft T12 light with 40 watt bulbs (2 bulbs)
1 4 ft T8 light with 38 watt bulbs (2bulbs)
2 30 watt CFL(120w equv)

Fans
2 80mm pc fans to keep keeps down below 80 degrees

My grow space is about 5ft long 4ft tall and 2 ft deep and in a closet.

Veged the plants till they got to the 5th node, then switched over to 12/12 lighting.

So here is the picture as of today, i have 2 plants both female, one is has showed signs of being a hermie its the plant that was topped. I am on 16 days of flowering.

i am useing mg, 15/30/15 nutes, and distilled water.

You need more light closer to them to get some decent bud growing. ;)

[ebsters]

the plants are about 1-2 inchs from the tops of the t12 unit.

The t8 assembly was added today, so more leaves and future bud sites can get light. But due to the size difference in the plants, i am just gonna leave them alone for now, and let them grow to the light. for the areas which are not close.

I say in 2-3 more days they will both need to be raised another inch or so, when both plants reach the light. and MY untopped plant will be up in the light by then more than likely.

they sure are growing fast now though.

[Weedhound]

More what i mean is that you need more watts.....more lumens.....maybe what I mean is BETTER lights...

[ebsters]

I know i need more lights, but this is going to have to do for awhile, as i don't wanna spend to much cash on these guys. I figured i would start here and see what i end up with. Then for my next one use really good genes, and a hps light...

I am sure with my light output i can get some buds, maybe not huge yields but enough to toke for a little bit.

[Weedhound]

Ok as long as you realize that with that kind of lighting your yield will be very, very poor. The only reason I mention it is that you are doing alot of work here and it would be nice if you ended up with some smokable weed.

Sounds like your next grow is going to be bigger and better.....good luck. :)

[ebsters]

well, i want to see the difference in yeild with lighting if you know what I mean. Plus the genetics i am growing right now are from a bag seed, so i really don't want to invest in a whole lot, i just would like to get the basic's, then step up to the good plants, and really good lighting. So i don't try and start with good plants, and mess something up.

My next grow will hopefully be the holy grail for a awhile. My next grow if everything goes ok on this one, will be duel 600 watt hps, and 3 gallon soil pots. And 10 felmale seeds of blueberry crossed with northern lights.

I just need test time to find out what works and all the different methods. Which is why i topped one plant and didn't top the other to see the difference in yeild, and growing characteristics.

So instead of reading on here for months before starting my first grown, i jumped in and started growing, with with the help of people on here and reading, i should be able to come up with a product in the end which is worthy of tokin to. ANY advice is highly welcome. I can for one say though, i WANT to grow, the dank nuggets, and smoke only the best. Best part about it is that i will not have to relay on flakky sources.

Weed hound i have seen alot of your posts on here and i value your opinion. I may not be as experianced as you, but i hope my learning curve comes on fast, so we can both be enjoyin killer buds! :jointsmile:

but how much do you think i could possibly yeild from this lighting? given the size of my plants.

[johneg]

Maybe a couple of joints if your lucky!!no offence but my mate had a setup like that and the yield was very poor!!

[rhizome]

Just a thought- you could up the yeild a lot by repotting at an angle, so the plants are more paralell to the shoplights. Still won't be much, but it'll be more.

You might want to upgrade in stages- go for the better gear, and when that's performing well for you, go for the good beans. If I'd been paying $5-10 for every seed I killed in the first few runs... I don't know what that would've cost. Bag seed handled well can be remarkabley good.

Tangental side point- Princess, the individual that c99 was brought up from, was a bag seed.

There's a learning experiance involved in your first HID run- it's differant from flo's. Hotter, faster- stuff can go wrong pretty quick. If you have access to bag seed, play w/ it- what the hell, it's already paid for...

[Weedhound]

600 sounds very good....rhyizome and everyone is right about the yield. And Rhizome makes a very good point as well about HID lights....they can blow your plants away if you aren't careful.....I've melted several seedlings in my day....(and overwatered them....and overnuted.....and ....) ;)

[Rock.Steady]

i think u'd have a better shot if u got more cfls right now, and surround them if ur budget is tite.
very little invested in my room so far, maybe grand total of 400 for every single thing i did so far in my grow log.
including the construction.
cfl's definately do 'ok' from what ive seen around here.
gimme a couple weeks and i'll comment on cfl's and flowering.

Good Luck with the grow, ill be watching this one.:thumbsup:

Rock.

just an after thought, but u coulda put something (box, cd's, etc) under the short one to bring it closer so it wouldnt stretch so much.

[ebsters]

Well i went to my local store, and picked up a 150 HPS!. Doesn't have the best housing but light output is good.

I re-setup everything and constructed a new area with the new addition of the hps. I also picked up a 85 watt CFL (actuall wattage). I have to get a fixture for it first.

here is the new pictures!

[Weedhound]

Ebsters that's gorgeous! Good work! :thumbsup: Keep a careful eye on your heat now until your plant gets used to that blast of new bright light. ;)

[Weedhound]

Now THAT will be increasing your yield.....:thumbsup:

[ebsters]

the lamp does get quite a bitter hotter than any of the other blubs i have, but thats to be expected.

heat isn't much of a issue right now. I have 2 fans one intake and one exhaust. you cannot see them in the pictures.

i think i have enough light after i also install the 85watt cfl, True watts.

temps have been staying in the upper 70's so far.

i think this new light setup is going to work pretty well, cause i have the flor's tubes following up the plant now. and my bright lights up top, then on the other side are the cfl's 30watt spot light from the other side. I don't think there is any leaf now that doesn't get lots of light. Hopefully they will start to TAKE off with the extra light.

any advice to how it all setup?, all lights are on timers, set for the same time, 2 fans, 120mm pc intake, 120pc exhaust (about 260cfm)
help me make my area better :-)

[Weedhound]

Sounds like you have things under control.....your plants are going to LOVE that new light. :thumbsup: That should be plenty for everyone you have there.

In flowering lighting is pretty much your ticket. It's not AS critical in veg although more always helps you know? but when flowering you just aren't going to get a good yield without it no matter how much other work you put in so it pays to get the extra light for sure during blooming. ;)

Give us some pics in a few days with the new light so we can compare... :)

[ebsters]

thats what the t12's and the t8's shop light i have are doing. Shining light on the sides of the plant. They should Get really bushy now.

[TheGreenFog]

Cool. Nice HPS. :)


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[ebsters]

I got around to making the 85 watt cfl fixture today. So that its mounted up in there was well. So now i should have a good 30,000 lumens

oh the new cfl is color temp 6500k.

I will post pictures in 2 days or so, so i can update progress. The plants really love the new light, and picked up a lot of speed in development.

[Rock.Steady]

Eb
i would definately hang a thermometer in there just to keep an eye on real temps.
that hps one is gonnna heat it up in there.

Rock.

[ebsters]

I have a digital one, which is mounted in there, temps are in the lower 80's.

The hps actually doesn't put off as much heat as i thought it would, the 85 watt cfl, puts off the same amount of heat really.

The room everything is a rather cold room, outside temp is in the lower 70's in the day, and upper 60's at night. That is why i installed the temperature probe in there, the day of the hps install.

So temps are in check :-). But i have noticed that it is much warmer in there with the addition of the hps, and the 85 cfl. I will have to keep a eye on the temp, on the hot days outside.

[Rock.Steady]

RIGHT ON DUDE.
GOOD LUCK!

RS

[ebsters]

well they seem to be doing well, loving the new lights.

Buds are forming, and they are really growing!

Good news is that My other plant which i thought to be hermie has not showed any signs of it and is growing buds only!. I named it Marli

The one who was transplanted (conner), is showing signs of stress, but has started to perk up alot. I gave some 20/20/20 nutes because i was seeing some yellowing of the leaves. so a little more N in its diet right now should help it out.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/ebduncan/plant/7-12-07001.jpg

[Weedhound]

Eb....the plants are too hot. That's why they look stressed. Do you have a fan you can aim upwards towards their leaves and blow on them. I think your new light may be too close to them even with your room temps being ok. Try pulling the plant farther away from the light if you can.....that will help the heat too.

Ps.....Easy on the N in flowering because it can inhibit blooming. :)

[ebsters]

well the one is doing just fine.

I think its because of the transplant. I installed another fan yesterday. I will prolly be adding some more. But yes temps yesterday peaked at about 89 degrees.

I will have to monitor it, its been hot outside these past couple days.

which light do you think is to close. Because i can move it up.

as for the n, i don't think one feeding will hurt it. Next fert will be 5-30-5, instead of the 20/20/20 i just put in there.

[Weedhound]

I don't think one feeding will hurt either. Eb, 89 is too high for your plants. Try to get things down below 80 because if they get above it it slows down the growing process (according to my hydro man.....who knows ALL!) also put your hand next to your plant near the light.....does your hand feel hot after a little while? If so move the plant back away from the light......if not, you're good. ;)

[ebsters]

quick update for today.

temps are now at a steady 80 degrees, with closet door open, And 83 degrees steady when the door is shut. Humiditiy sits around 40-50%. When i put my hand in the grow area by the tops of the plants, it is slightly warm, Temperature probe is slightly higher than the tops of the plants. You can see it in the one of the pictures, the bottom half. (its one of those indoor/outdoor temp and humditiy things. I just installed the outdoor probe in the grow space. So i get readings of ambient temps and grow space temps.

ambient temp sits at around 70 degrees or so, night time gets a bit chilly at 68degrees.

Still have some red in the stems of My untopped plant conner, i dunno why. The other seems to be uneffected, but still show a little red in the stems. Anyone have any ideas. I am thinking mg def.

[Weedhound]

I'm sorry I don't know enough about soil growing to help you with nutrient problems in soil. You have a very nice bud starting there though. :thumbsup:

Good work getting your temps under control. ;)

[ebsters]

oh you should see this bud lol, sucker goes fast everyday.

bigger and bigger it gets. I cannot wait for 5 more weeks to see what it really has.

[ebsters]

little update.

I picked up 3 more t12 40 watt 4 foot shop lights today.

I have not added them to the room yet.

So now the plants will be surrounded by the t12's 40 watters, with the 150 watt hps in the middle up top, and the 85 watt cfl up there as well. Along with the two 30 watt cfls with reflectors close at lower bud sites.

I will post a picture when i am done setting up the new light setup. I have been thinking about setting up a 24 light camber for some new seedlings. So i will always have something in flower. I will prolly just wait till this are done, chop them and then reveg them so i will have a mother plant, for clones!.

I have learned alot in the past few weeks, and i am going to setup the new area, with the knowledge i have learned. By building a Cab and using reflective sheeting, or just paint it flat white, with proper ventilation.

I am thinking the grow box should be at least 5 feet tall, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. With two fans, both being 4" inline duct fans. Should keep it cool enough. Since i only have one right now and 2 pc fans, i figure i will have enough air flow to keep temps down below 85 degrees. So heres the plan on the lighting.

Since i have 4 4ft t12 asemblies. I plan on putting one on each side. With the 150 watt Hps up top with a new better reflector and remote ballast. Then mount the 85 watt cfl, up there next to the hps.

in a 5x3x3 room, question is is about 41,000 lumens going to be enough for this size cab. Well if not i can always upgrade to a higher wattage hps, or add another one. (i would prolly get grab another hps and scratch the 85 watt cfl.

anyways, sorry for the long read, any inputs? or idea's to help me get the max out of the cab i am going to build. I will post pictures of the plants later.

[ebsters]

yay for pictures.

Oh that white stuff on the leaves is from my follar feeding. BLAH! i guess i should do that when the lights are off :-) I am going to spray with 100% water to wash that stuff off later, when i get home.

[ebsters]

well, i guess i will just update this log when i harvest. since not many seem interested in a complete log.

happpy toking

[ebsters]

well here they are again. everything is good to go so far. I have noticed on my untopped plant the lower leaves are starting to yellow. All new growth is nice and green. They are 30 days into flower, as of today, so about the half way point or so. I also changed the grow setup a bit, and added 3 more 4foot shop lights i had laying around. So now they have light from EVERY angle, except from the bottom of coarse :rasta:

UPDATE

Day 32 of Flower, added new reflectors to my hps and 85 watt cfl.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/ebduncan/plant/7-20-07003.jpg

Conner growing really nicely now.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/ebduncan/plant/7-20-07001.jpg

Marli, lots of small bud sites
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/ebduncan/plant/7-20-07002.jpg

whatca think?

[Weedhound]

Ebsters! You've turned into a light monster!! Good for you.....more the better if you can keep your temps under control. Do you think you are seeing a difference in how your plants are reacting to the new lights? Seems to me they are budding in alot of spots there. Do you notice a difference?

[ebsters]

oh i notice a difference

with the new lights the bottom bud sites started to take off. Seems like soon as Conner (untopped plant), got used to the extra light, its speed of which it grows doubled. The top main bud on that plant will grow almost a 1/2 inch a day.

my total light setup as of today is

4- t12 4ft 40 watt per tube, 2 tubes per fixture
1- t8 4ft 32 watt per tube, 2 tubes per fixture
1- 85 watt Cfl, with custom relfector 6500k
1-150 watt HPS with custom reflector
1-30 watt Cfl
1- 13watt cfl

I don't think i will be adding anymore lights any time soon. I may pick up another 150 watt hps, and replace the 85 watt cfl. Then move that into a new area and start some seedlings.

i just i hope i can yield more than 7 grams of dry bud. what you think?

[Weedhound]

I honestly don't know but keep doing what you are doing.....I think there is a difference as well and they really seem to like it. Good work!!!!:thumbsup:

[ebsters]

Well, in that case, i will keep us updated :-)

at 32 days, depending if its indica or mostly sativa. For a indica i should be about the half way point. For a sativa, i am about 1/3 done.

next question though is, that with my light reflectors, they are just some sheet metal. Would it be worth the time to polish the reflectors to a polished surface? or just leave them how they be.

thanks for the input weedhound? do you have a log going right now?

[Tomthehippie]

looking good man! keep it up! :D

[Weedhound]

Eb I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to the reflectors. I just bought mine like it was and never found out anything about them. :(

Dont know what youv'e got there eh? Was it a bagseed? Usually stuff you buy is a mix of indica/sativa and alot of growers will grow and sell whatever is going to bud and finish faster.....your indicas. They look nice and happy and are starting to fill in I think....that's your lighting at work.

Have a log in my sig but it's not too exciting unless there is a disaster or something....haven't had one lately. :)

If you're really bored dig up some of my old threads.....I have done some really cruel things to my plants... ;)

[ebsters]

yes they are bagseeds, nothing to special that i got them from. Had a good smoke. Figured i would start with these, and then buy some known genetics.

as for the reflectors, i think i will leave them alone. I might take some more sheet metal polish it, and then compare the differences, when ever i get bored.... sounds like a good stoned mission lol.

i just read your log, i wish i had your plant :-) hah, a blueberry, one of my all time fav's, i will prolly be my choice for next time around.

[Weedhound]

Probably figure 8-9 weeks as a general rule but maybe longer in soil? I don't know anything about soil as I suck at it.

[Tomthehippie]

yea polishing will help but only negligibly. :)

[ebsters]

well i doubt i will be staying on the soil train for toooo long.., messy stuff in my clean closet :-), but 8-9 weeks should be the target. i hope for 60-70 days of flowering, if it takes longer than that, they will be chopped down anyways.

had a good look at the plants today, i see trichs!, forming on the inner parts of the buds. yay. Some of the pistals have a little bit of red at the tips.


i think i will save polishing the reflectors till i am bored one day, and stoned as hell.

[Tomthehippie]

Sounds like a plan! :D

[ebsters]

little update. I haven't had much web access lately. I am on day 39 of flower.

started to have to feed them espson salts. for MG. Gave them the last bit of fert for now. 5-30-5. i don't think i will have enough time till done, to add another.

Conner is getting pretty big. While Marli is just starting to fill out a bit more. Starting to see a few red hairs here and there, and trichs are forming all over the place. With a nice skunky aroma. Marli doesn't really smell that much yet.

I will post pictures when i can. prolly won't be for a couple days.

[Blindman0v0]

Those are looking good eb.Lights definitely help.

[ebsters]

pictures as promised.

whatca think?

[Weedhound]

Your buds look great!!. Your leaves are looking like you have a deficiency or ph lockout of some kind. What kind of nutes are you using and what kind of water? do you know what the ph of your soil is?

[ebsters]

i have a MG def, i just started to give them espson salts. to fix that problem.

ph of the soil is around 6.7 according to my run off water.

i have been nursin them back to health with the salts, i should have started to give them it earlier.

they are at 42 days of flowerin. i figure in another 3 weeks or so, is when i will get to chop them down.

[Rock.Steady]

Nice Job Ebs!:thumbsup:

Rock.

[jacked420]

Excellent Ebs, good work getting them diagnosed and back on track. The buds look very happy....just keep supporting it till the end. :thumbsup:

[ebsters]

I try and keep the buds growing, thats my main objective, haha, i am glad you guys approve of these buds.

from a bag seed i cannot complain, cause the smoke is awesome, i given a trial bud.

i will update as progess comes along

[Weedhound]

Nothing like toking your own grown.....:thumbsup:

[ebsters]

tell me about it.

soo fresh, and crisp. :jointsmile:

[ebsters]

ok for your viewing pleasure

DAY 46 flower

Conner
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/ebduncan/plant/8-7-07002.jpg

Marli
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/ebduncan/plant/8-7-07003.jpg

Two different types, marli was my topped plant, and conner is more like a sog grow. with just one huge main cola.Marli has sooo many bud sites. seems like it wants to bud everywhere. As a result alot of the buds are just growing skinny. but hey, i am sure they will fatten up in the next 2 weeks

whatca think?

[Weedhound]

They're looking gooooood Ebsters. :thumbsup: Now you can see why people top....it does help increase the yield. The very last thing they do is fill in so they'll look skiimpy for awhile.
This is where your good lighting gives you a big boost. ;)

[ebsters]

i can see why people top, ur right.

I have never messed with it, i've always grown sog style, with main colas. So this time around i decided to top one, then compare yield to the other.

I have noticed them starting to fill in, but with about 14 days left till they have been flowerin for 8 weeks. I sure hope marli decides to fill in alot more. Conner while with only one main cola, and few under it, prolly has more weight currently than the topped plant.

They have started to grow like sob's now again, they were stunted for a bit while they had the mg problems.

[Weedhound]

They make take a little longer than 8 weeks since they were sick for awhile....everything slows way down and it takes time for the plants to get back into full swing so don't be surprised if they need to go a little longer.

I think they will come out well if you don't have any further problems. What's your plan for your next grow?

[ebsters]

Next grow i have just waiting to start. But weed hound, you should definately, let me know how yours turns out, it looks so pretty.

5 blue berry seeds. I am going to do couple of different things with them.

1 will be lsted to no end.
1 will be srog
1 will be sog, style (one main cola)

the other 2 will be topped and topped.

and a huge grow log :-) hopefully showing the fruits of all different styles of growing. To see what works for me the best.

I don't really expect them to finish on time, Who knows, will have to pull out the magnifying glass. I fed them couple days ago, expecting it to be my last, and then just water with salts. Since i had a little nute burn last time, i should be ok until harvest. if not, then it will be harvest time early.

[Weedhound]

There's an old thread around.....let me see if I can find it where someone tried some different ways of topping etc but he only did the beginning. It would be great if someone logged that type of grow all the way through with photos and all.....super piece of info for people to have on hand.

[Weedhound]

you might check this out to get an idea of the different ways you can play around with your plants to help yield. ;)

[ebsters]

interesting.

thanks for the link. My log will be some thing like that :-)

However, i will have to revise my grow area a bit to be able to fit 5 1 gallon pots in.

[Tomthehippie]

looking goodo! :)

[D Rock]

What a great job upgrading your grow. Cant wait to see how this turns out. those buds should start getting bigger as you get closer to harvest. Good luck.

[ebsters]

Here is an update. day 52 flower. They are doing GREAT! The Fan leaves have started to yellow, On my untopped plant "Conner" . . I harvested all of Conners Lower buds to let the plant focus on the main cola. It has exploded in new growth at the top of the cola.

My other plant "Marli" whom is topped still has mostly green fan leaves, but they have started to yellow in some areas. Her buds are growing sooo fast and are starting to fill out. Some of the Buds on the top have a few red hairs, but not to many trichs. I hope trich production to start to really kick in soon.

I dryed out a few of the smaller buds from conner. In the oven at 140 degrees for hour and a half. Smoked some. And came to update you guys about it, cause the smoke was great!. So tasty, nice aroma, and gets you pretty blasted, with a gravity. Smoked in a bowl as well. I am very pleased. I could chop Conner down now and bit happy, but i know it will only get better in the next week or so. Trichs are 90% clear and 10% cloudy, On conner.

I have not tested marli yet, her looks a little imature, as the trichs are just starting to get produced. they are 100% clear.

Here are the pictures

Ok guys, today was day 57 of flower.

Sorry no pics, but after close inspection, i saw some amber trichs on both plants, so :chainsaw: time. I the plants trichs were about 10% clear 80% milky and 10% amber. The lowest buds were at about 50% milky and 50% clear. While the top biggest cola, 30% amber, 70% milky.

Yielded about 3 oz wet. After cuting all the fan leaves off and all the other leaves off in general. I figure in about 2 weeks, i will be stuck with about 1.5 oz. Which isn't bad for not letting them get very big in veg, (flowering early 3 week veg time). And then adding more and more lights through out flowering.

Both plants are still alive, and i am plan on veg them, again. I am also starting 5 new ones here shortly.

Pictures to come, when they are all dryed up and ready.

Wow.....that's not a bad pull at all one 150watts considering your issues. Good work Eb!:thumbsup: Your next grow will be even better. :)

Looking good. How many days left until you harvest?

[Rock.Steady]

hmm, i thought yeild was a lower % than that after drying.
ill wait for the official tally.

either way, nice job, good work.

Rock.

truth be told, i snagged a couple lil mini buds off lo on my Don-na, and was kinda tasty

[ebsters]

haha, ya its tasty alright.

d rock, already harvested. Buds are drying out. in a cardboard box with strings.

so in about 6-7 days, we will see the final product.

On a side note, my topped plant, pollenated itself, on a few of the buds so developed some seeds in a few buds.

However my untoppped main cola plant is 100% seed free, and looks like some killer dank nuggets.

[Weedhound]

Sure hope you didn't throw those seeds away because if it is a self-pollinated plant the seeds will all be female.

[ebsters]

nah i am keepin them :-)

[Weedhound]

:):thumbsup: Stick those puppies in for the next grow and no male/female probs. ;)

Hey i was reading your thread about wanting to know different ways of topping for highest yield etc... HERE you can find my Grapefruit plant that I topped differently than I ever have before. She isn't quite done yet but has 6 different colas and more bud one one plant I have ever seen in my career. Take a look, and if interested, I would love to pass the secret on.. ( well not secret but you know what I mean)

(last page are photos) I also had a nute issue, but flushed, so no laughing at her poor burnt leaves!! She is about 4 feet some inches and about 2 weeks from being chopped..
good luck and happy growing,
Elway
