Hi , i have 6 plants under 1000w in a 1mx1mx2m area

[HARDDON]

Super nice camera shots and super nice trich coverage.

If I may, I would offer my advice on manicuring that shit.

Upon harvest, I would work feverishly to trim only the last one fourth of those flower leaves, and then in 48 hours, cut three quarters of the fans... And that is all the mainucuring I would do to those at all.

They should swell up considerably in thenext 2 weeks. Gotta tell ya, you did a great job. Those are impressive.

Happy smokin.

VERY nice developments here! Congrats mate!

[milkweed]

they look like they've got a healthy diet of co2 in their life... well done

[mjdragon]

Hi mate, can i just say what a fantastic job you're doing there, your plants look amazing!:thumbsup:

I'm running 2 x 400w HPS, my growth seems no-where near yours! Where am i going wrong?:)

Thanks for the rep+ man, i only noticed a coupla weeks ago!

Its most likely because your 2 4oo's are doin the work of a couple 1ooo watt super hps. you need to move your lights closer next time or better yet, buy 1ooo's.
Peace!

It looks a bit hot but i cant be sure without being there. The diamond/domed mylar works a treat for extra light, good airflow and temp control is essential. BIG pots. Good nutes. No light leaks:)

[BeforeYourTime]

More light would help too. I run 1000w in 1m sq.

[mjdragon]

Check my link, all my info's on there... I presume adding 2 more 400w's for my next grow would be a good idea then, together with a/c?

[mjdragon]

Oh and BTW beforeyoutime & suspectlite - cheers guys!:thumbsup:

definately, & if you pull in cold air from outside, you eliminate the need for air conditioning & invite fresh Co2 enriched air into your room.

Hi, some more pics for week 7 :)

[BeforeYourTime]

Not long now...

[Suspectelite]

Fuck do those ever look grand, are they all from seed?
Do you spray often, & if so with what?
Id say you got about 10-14 days left, they still look really white, just starting to mature, I cant wait till mine look like that!
Great grow man!!!:stoned: +rep

[Stealth331]

Yeah...sweet!!!!

Never tried anything even remotely close to this strain.

Congratz!

[hybridracers]

now thats what Im talking about!

1000 watts total in a square meter? Youre killing it.......awesome stuff

Hi m8, I dont spray them at all in the flowering period. I do however spray them during its first few weeks until theres plenty roots.
They are all from feminized seed. I use them because i have limited space so if i plant 6 seeds i get 6 females. I get bananas on rare occasions but nothing a pair of tweezers and 30minutes cant solve. Usually if there are bananas they come at around week 8-9 when the plants are already mature so theres no harm.
Some bananas actually helped me on this crop. Last week i noticed mabee 8-10 bananas on 1 of my sensi stars about 2 inches down from the top. After taking it out for closer inspection i found budrot inside the main bud affecting the top 6 inches, where the bananas grew. I lopped off its head and raised it. Ive not seen any since.
Had the bananas not grown the rot could have spread and become a greater problem. A good early warning system. :cool:

[Suspectelite]

thanx yo, Im new to this so I need all the help I can get, gonna spend some time tonite removing bananas

[mjdragon]

Hey man they look fantastic (again!:thumbsup:)...

You mentioned the male flowers to me in a PM a while back (with the Hempstar? you remember?).. would be interested to hear your thoughts.. posted somethin in plant problems this morning but I know you've grown the strain i'm doin ....:thumbsup:

My thoughts are on Dutch Passion as a whole.

Their feminized collection are really badly bred IMO. Banana central

White widow and Mazar were the best from DP's collection. Though i haven't tried isis yet.

Heres some pics of Hempstar a friend grew out. I hope yours are as good or better in a few weeks. :)

[mjdragon]

Thanks for the pics mate! Unfortunately mine aren't quite where those are yet!

I haven't had any problems so far regarding hermie's tho (at least i think so, i wouldn't really know how to find what you're referring to)..Do you have pics of em?

[Suspectelite]

Thanx, ye most look like finishing within the week but the grapefruit is still growing strong. My last grapefruits finished in 45-55 days :thumbsup: , this one looks like a 10 week flower or more :wtf:. I think this plant leans more heavily to the haze side rather than the C99.
I want to grow the grapefruit again but theres no more stock till the new year :mad: ..so ive got some Opium from paradise seeds for next time.:D

[Suspectelite]

just wanted to know if you use Co2?

[BeforeYourTime]

Naa m8, ive not used it.

[Suspectelite]

really, thats good to know, I guess ass long as youre pulling in air from outside, you dont need to add it.
Your shit look great yo, keep up the good work.
What are expecting to pull down when its done if you dont mind me asking?

[BeforeYourTime]

Hi , im not sure what i pull of each crop as i dont keep scales.

It usually just lasts till the next lot is ready so id guess mabee 8-10oz dry bud, and 1-2oz of shake and popcorn buds for bubble hash and honey oil.:)

[Suspectelite]

when are you takin it down?

[highallthetime]

NIce plants .
Do you get any yellowing leaves towards the end of the flowering cycle , mine seem to miss some nitrogen and become yellowish.

I've heard it's normal but yours dont look yellowish :)

[BeforeYourTime]

Some are down, ill grab some pics of whats left.

Highallthetime ... yellowing is normal, some will yellow off faster than others. Its autumn leaves. Futher down my plants near the bottom the leaves are yellow.

[BeforeYourTime]

Some pics for week 9, and some bubble hash.:stoned:

[elstonite]

Im not too sure, the breed seems to vary quite alot between plants. My current plant still shows no ambers @ week 9.

Generally i prefer to let sativas go a little longer than others to gain a little more couchlock, and indicas i like chopped with fully formed cloudy/some clear trichs and not so much ambers.

[Suspectelite]

must be all down by now, whats your total weight?
