Week 7 - Veg


Made some changes to my "ventilation system" due to some heat issues,

Since it's kinda hot here nowadays 32C, my cabinet temp reached 34C.

I've added 2 more Computer fans to my cabinet, 1 for intake and 1 for inner ventilation.

I'm still wondering if i've got enough light.

Bought a few days ago 2 another CFL from amazon, Feliz 125 Watt CFL Grow Light 2700K.

It seems "Bubba" is growing well but not as fast as i would like it to be.

Before entering the flowering phase, i've taken 3 clones, hope they'll survive.


http://boards.cannabis.com/members/j...2-img-0805.JPG

I've installed my Feliz 125W 2700K CFL, it doesn't look as bright as i tought it would be, I wonder how much lumen it really has, each web site claims a different number from 5000lumen-10000lumen,

Anyone with previous experience can give me a clue?

anyhow, switched the lights today to 12/12, let the blooming begin!!


These pictures were taken yesterday, the lame quality because it was taken with my phone.

P.S

Regarding the flowering phase, should i count the flowering days from the 12/12 first day or the first day i see white pistils????

Nuts:

1.5lt PHd water
3ml Bio Heaven
1.5ml Bio Grow
1.5ml Bio Bloom
1.5ml Top Max

Tomorrow i'm going to install the ScOG, hopefully it will increase my yield

i was wondering about something, if i change the light from 12/12 to 13 light 11 dark...

how much will it affect my plants? will it cause stress? more growth?

any ideas?

Flowering Day 28

Had to do some changes (again!?!?@?#$) in my cabinet, removed 4 T5 due to a serious heat issue, and since i've been away for 3 days, i had to make the problem disappear.

Plant had some CFL burn on the main cola, and some of the buds :(

BTW I've acquired HPS 400W, been thinking of installing it tomorrow for the rest of the flowering period.

Well, enough with the bullshit.

Ya Bro

I would deff but up that 400 watt H,P,S, you should see a big difference. I have tried C,F,L,s before there not bad if you have enough of them but theres noting like a H,P,S for flowering.

I have no doubt that the HPS is better, but i chose CFL because of the size of my cabinet, and as i mentioned in my log, I've got shit load of them, but the heat problem seems to be the same,

so i'm going to connect the HPS KIT today and check how does it effect the cabinet.

ALRIGHT jambojones


Ya bro i think you have a good point there cause you will deff get alot of heat with a h,p,s in your set up. I have some thing simalor to you with my set up and i had to get a cooltube and squirl cage fan to keep the heat down. So id say keep doing what your doing now as its doing a great job so far and keep the h,p,s for your next grow.
Sorry about the spelling im shit so hope you can understand the bad words.:hippy:

In the next few days i'm going to add HOMEMADE Co2 Generator and HOMEMADE carbon filter since she's starting to stink!!!

I'm wondering if there's a leaf problem there??!?!?!

P.S.

Bought a few days ago a lux meter, after installing the HPS i've measured 135000lux (12541 lumen sq/f) on the top buds, the lowest measured 36500lux (3390 lumen sq/f) .

I think now she's got enoght light :) :D

HI BRO

Sounds like you have it all worked out nice one. You will deff get a better yeild with that set up the only thing i would advis is try get some thing that shows you your humidaty because thats one thing i didnt do in my last grow and it killed half my plants over the humidaty was way to hi. That been said the way you have fans for your intake and outgoing you should be alright. As for the pic,s of your leaves it could be many things from not enough light on the bottom leave to the nutes but i have leaves that look the same and i dont think it was much to worry about not at this stage any way maybe if it gets worst. When your in the flowering stage you will see your leaves go like that any way. Are you fluseing your plants every one or two weeks if not you should think about doing it cause it will deff help. O ya you start counting from the time you but the lights on 12=12 not when you see the hairs bro. Well i hope i helped some bit as i said before im only here to learn and give help when i can myself. Take it easy bro.

First of all, Thanks alot for them advices.
Regarding the HUMIDITY meter, i have a TEMP/HUMIDITY meter, and my humidity varies from 20%-50% most of the time at about 35%.
I have to open the cabinet a bit because the heat raised to 30.5C, now it's about 29.5C, and it's fine.

Well, my friend thanks for the feedback, but i came this morning to check out what's going on with the "lady" and saw a light damage to the main cola :(:(:(:(



Attachment 275840



It seems like the lamp was too close, as mentioned before, 12.5K lumen sq/f on the main cola was too much for her...

SO! i made quick modification to the cabinet, i sawed two beams of wood 11cm high,
and raised the cabinet to 1.01m high! i've tested the light source for half an hour to see how much light it will receive tonight and it seems ok.

I'm wondering, should i trim these damaged leafs?

I hope this modification help me prevent further damage.

we'll see tonight!

Ya jambo i would trim all damaged leaves

I think your plant was doing well the way it was with the c,f,ls so you might think of going that the way it was just for now and start your next grow with the h,p,s. Because i was thinking that 400 watt h,p,s is a lot just 4 one plant. i dont know bro have a think about it any way. As i said before your set is cool so you seem to know what works for you. that main cola deff has heat stress i would trim all the leave but let the cola alone cause it should grow more bud on top of the other bud damage i hope any way
or if the raised cabinet dose the job you can keep it going but think if the main cola grow bigger then have you the room to keep raising the cab.

I'm sure it would be keep doing well with the CFLs but, i want HUGE buds, because it's about to be summer here, and the temps in the summer is extremely hot, and wouldn't be able to grow another one until OCT.
so this one should keep me going until then.

anyhow, woke up last night to a cracking sound of glass... and as you know, troubles comes in packs, rushed to the cabinet and found out that the glass cracked from the heat of the HPS (bummer!!!!!),

DAMAGE: minimal, one small bud was severed and 2 minor one got hit, the rest of the plant was just leaning under the glass, so it got a little bit of angle now.
so had to clean up the mess at 3am. and the heat started to build up, so i had to open the cabinet and put a fan blowing on the plant the whole night.
i think i'm gonna buy a cooltube and finish with it!

Sorry to hair the bad news jambo

Hope every thing works out for you maybe a cooltube is the way to go. Cant wait to see her just before harvest id say its going to be a nice yeild hopefully enough to keep you going till your next grow any way. Il be keeping a eye on your log might even try Bubbleicious myself for my next grow.:hippy:

p,s, You can make a cooltube from a bakearound but you will prob have to oder it from the enet $10 to $20 might be more trouble then its wroth but have a look. ebay bakearound there for baking bread.

Veg cabinet lights upgrade

Well, Since I've replaced all my T5/CFL in my main cabinet, with 400W HPS,
I've upgraded the lights in my veg cabinet,

2x 125W Feliz 2700K
1x 85W Eurolux 4200K

Well, maybe i'm a noob to indoor closet growing but it seems to me that Bubba's buds are thinner than i expected, I've been watching other growers threads and my buds aren't as dens as expected.
maybe it's because of heat issues (32C-34C) in my cabinet, or maybe it's because i've discovered today that my plant is infected with two-dotted spider mites (already started neem guard treatment).
she's got between 15-20 days, i hope they will get denser with time passing...

Attachment 276081

some of the fan leaves are strating to turn yellow, even though she's receiving full nute
treatment, i posted these pictures in "Plant Problems" section, maybe heat stress? too much light stress??

Flowering day 44


Attachment 276085 Attachment 276084 Attachment 276083 Attachment 276082

sprayed today one more time of neem-guard, hope this will be the last time i use it,
and will kill all the spier-mites.
she's got 3-4 weeks until harvest...

Very nice JJ! The last few weeks are when they put on most growth:thumbsup:

Ive had a similar situation with bulb falling and burning the top half of a big bud. Turned out to be one of the bigger frankenstein lookin colas ive ever seen :D

Day 44 and showing slight yellowing.. I think thats natural, as the plant is heading toward the end and using up nutes in the leaves. If you've been giving the same amount of nutes for the past few weeks and its just now starting to yellow like that, i think its natural.

Also, if you can get the bulb air cooled enough to where you can put your hand inches and be comfortable, they wont mind the high temps. My small grow box(1.5x1x1.5) has a 150W HPS aircooled. The temp gets to 95 and the plant stayed healthy dark green.

Good luck bro, you're on the final push!

Flowering day 45

Well, it's getting hotter here, and the heat is building up, cabinet temp are fluctuating between 30C-32C, the fan leaves are starting to turn yellow, some of them looks like they're burned... again, i can't seems to put my finger on the problem.
I've been searching the net for these kind of symptoms and a'int found shiiiit!
