I love it when people say "You can't do this!" and you do. Tasty serving of crow for 'em!

The only thing I wish you could do (You've got pretty good spectrum) is have a way to raise and lower those lights, it will help greatly in controlling your plant height, plus allow you deeper penetration. You'll yield much more with just a foot or two drop, if those focusing cups allow for it while still maintaining a useful blend.

Looks so awesome. That's how you apply the microeinsteins!

hey Iryd~no worries...you did not know...thanks for your good words and well wishes and likewise ForgetC

khyb~i did lower my light after having small chat with 'shake and not really pleased with the last run from 3 weeks to 6 weeks...which is when i lowered the lights about a foot closer and started seeing better results..also left too much on the bottoms as it got so thick that the light had hard time penetrating to the bottom layers....still a learining curve from the HPS methods....learning to water less...which is retraining in itself once you have habit of watering in certain timeframes having to break them and learn the patience in between watering.

with any grow or strain it is a trial and error until you get things dialed in...which is why i kept wondering why my second run was excellant yield with the lights in the old height...then it occured to me that i gave that batch a bigger shot of bushmaster in the beginning almost 6ml/gal...i was at the end of a bottle and i had seen a friends grow that had used more on one section and the plants were noticeably stockier with fatter buds so instead of leaving a small amount to be mixed with new bottle i just gave it all to them so my next batch that i will do is going to get the new doseage of bushmaster!:stoned:

Very nice show you're putting on here :thumbsup:

Even I'm starting to believe a little more in LED's :D

If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to see some of those harvested nugs under regular light too... Nothing beats good bud pr0n (well, almost nothing) :jointsmile:

And best of luck with your upcoming trip!

Indeed on the LED's, just wish they could be made for the not-so-funded kinda people. Oh well, I probably could get a job during college, but I'm in my critical semesters at college and need to focus on my studio. Will definitely be looking into some sort of LED lighting in the future. And the good news is, you'll be back for the holiday.

Hey on the next grow do us a favor document it. Everyone likes to see but to documentation is experience for everyone as well as evidence for the skeptics.

Document the following and include the day number of veg and flower
Height of lights
Nutrients type used, quantity, and when.
When you water and quantity
Medium used
Weight weight then dry weight
Of course lot more pics

Any thing else you can think of or experience.

I know it is a lot of work but hey it is not like your getting paid for it :)
Thanx
Personified

i will do a thorough grow log when i get back from China....i will be starting a new tray then....typically i plant my clones into the square peat pots and veg them in those for about a week then i repot to 2 gal sq pots veg for at least 2 or 3 weeks...usually 2....if i have more than 16 potted i pick the best 16 and leave the few behind to veg further and take cuts from them...i am the clone station for a few of my friends:D

i plant clones into straight fox farm ocean forest soil and when i repot i use a 50/50 mix of ocean forest and chunky coco....i am considering going to a straight coco to have more consistency of drainage because it seems in mixing you always have some pots that hold more water than others so i am thinking of trying a straight coco to use for my 2 gal pots..i do a quasi-hydro system in that i have a 4 gallon bucket with a pump and i have feed lines to each pot.

when repotting i sprinkle mychorizzea into the holes i put the peat pots into and water with straight water...before putting them into flower i will give them some voodoo juice and another shot of mychorizea with hygrozyme and carbo load...i will give specifics when i do a complete log..keep a notebook:thumbsup:

one day 1 of flower i hit them bushmasterand they will only stretch about 1/3 of their heigh and will stack nodes better

then i use botanicare pro bloom soil/coco 30ml/gal...AN kushie kush 5ml/gal...wet betty 5ml/gal...carbo load 2ml/gal...bud candy 5ml/gal..5ml/gal hygrozyme and 1ml/gal rhino skin as ph up

that is my weekly feed formula and at week 6 i stop the kushie kush and start using Overdrive 10ml/gal for 2 weeks then flush within 7 - 10 days of harvest and last watering of carbo-load and bud candy only before take down!

As i metioned i will do a more thorough log and record veg/flower time, watering...pictures(need a better camera)..and as much info as i can share...then it will be a show for all to see!:smokin:

and thanks btf and fc for the props...yes and back in time for our holiday:thumbsup:

b e aaaa uttifulllll!!! :rastasmoke:

Your help here has been greatly appreciated by me and lots of others on this site....very glad to have crossed paths with you!

I hope to have your assistance on my next grow....I have lots of new ideas from you....can't wait to see how it works out! :jointsmile:

wow str8 I'm really impressed with those LED's. I have never seen panels such as your I've only seen the round LED set ups like the procyon and stuff. Maybe if i decide to break the bank these would be swwweeettt for a sealed room with a lil co2:pimp:

hey str8 how much did ya yield this time around?

Very nice set-up! definitely keepin those in mind. cant deny them buds:thumbsup:

yeah..CO2 is next on my agenda on maxing out yield...a propane model is only $360...and i am heating so it would help with that!

it took me a while to find these...they were originally designed for supplemental lighting in commercial greenhouses and are rated to be hung as high as 13' above the plants...so if i am at 13" or less i thought to myself these will be the LED's to change opinions....so i got a few to add to with HPS and when my plants were leaning to the 150w LED light away from my 1000w HPS i took the chance and got enough to do my flower room and take the 1000's out...it was a little nervy that day but after a few weeks of watching them flower i knew i made the right choice....and after smoking my product...well that was the real kicker...joints burn twice as long...more legs to the meds also...so for any serious med user i highly recommend learning LED growing!:thumbsup:

i am guessing about 380-400gr dry

How much did each of the WEX-C150s cost you?

khyb~$450

here is a few more shots of some finished product and the next tray @ 24days...lights are 29" from the bottom of the plants...if i put them any lower i will hit the lights with the stakes taking them out. i have 4 gallon buckets that i marked for single gallons to try and monitor how much water i am using. 4 gallons under 1000's for 16 plants would go fast..now i have to be more careful not to overwater! :jointsmile:

I believe my previous statement of:
:jawdropper:
: is called for. Man, wish I could try some of those nuggets. Looking sweet and frosty. Awesome job.:thumbsup:

make your way to my table and you are welcome to join me:smokin:

nice harvest man! can't wait to see what happens when you get those LEDs dialed in. i hope you have a good trip to china and that all goes well there! you might try using a proxy server while there if you can't access the site.

hopefully by the time you get back, there will be some sierra kush and silver spur in the flower tent, or at least close. they both have roots and are looking healthy. i just put them in some 6" square pots to veg.

keep up the good work my friend!


-shake

Oh how I wish I could live in Colorado.

I am norcal ....almost Oregon...in fact just got back form there..haha!:smokin:

btw~final numbers on last harvest destemmed and dry 357gr...so i was off by a few!

ok..if was as good at computers as growing, i might be dangerous...how do i get proxy server? :D

There are actually proxies out there, like Proxy7.com used to be one, but idk anymore. It basically bypasses like firewalls and such.

Gotcha, got my flags mixed up, lol the Bear seems more suitable for Colorado, but I guess norcal is pretty forested. Either, way, would love to come to your neck-of-the-woods. It would be straight to meet some of the people here, maybe sometime down the line. Anyways, good estimate on the harvest, but I guess practice makes perfect. I was gonna take some pix of my little girl but I can't find my camera,. so once I find it, THEN I will take pix, lol. :hippy:

-C

lots of bears out here at least in the more rural areas...i got my first bear when i was 12 yrs old.:D

so if i use a proxy server i can access sites that outside of what they block in the internet in China? last time i was there i could not even look up Victoria Secret website they even blocked it:wtf:

i would think with the one child law they would let the dudes check out some skin on the internet...haha!:pimp:

Hey str8, nice grow!
I live in Grants pass, Oregon(about 90 miles away). Let me know if u would like to swap strains? I currently have Blue God, Master Kush, Yankee Blueberry,and Dead Man Walking.:greenthumb:
Pics will be up soon.

this week i marked my 4 gallon buckets i use to water with at single gallons so i can monitor how much water i am giving...so this week they only got 4 gallons total 1 gallon at a time for 16 plants once on monday then wednesday and mixed some nutes and fed them the other 2 gallons yesterday. using GH nutes micro, bloom, and kool bloom this go round so it will be easy for my babysitter while i am gone for a few weeks!

also have run exhaust on full blast to increase cirulation and lower humidity to help transpiration...this round looksa mucxh better as i trimmed alot of the bottom growth so it is not so thick...the lower branches are getting better light and showing better bud development this time...i'm very pleased with what i see this time:smokin:

and thanks all who have stopped and given comment! Irish..very familiar with GP...maybe after i get back we can talk!:jointsmile:

hey str8, a proxy server is a computer that sits in between you and the host of the website that you are going too, eg cannabis.com. so when you (your computer) sends a request instead of going directly to cann.com it goes to the proxy server. then the proxy server tries to connect to cann.com. cann.com returns the request to the proxy and the proxy passes it on to your comp. this doesn't bypass firewalls exactly, but what it does is instead of your computer trying to connect to a blacklisted site, it connects to the proxy and not directly to the blacklisted site, and he information coming back to you, in the form of packets, show the proxy address in the packet header, and not the blacklisted site, so the information is allowed to pass.

hope that made sense and didn't confuse you. or in summation, the info comes from the proxy and not the blacklisted site, therefor there is no reason for the information to be blocked. this also keeps the site you are trying to access from seeing you, as you never actually directly connect to it.

ladies look very nice by the way!

I'm really diggin' the setup man!

I just moved to the Seattle/Tacoma area from Okiehoma, and didnt go through Cali on the trip. Startin' to think I should come down and see what Cali's all about. :hippy:

Only one favor I ask, and I ask it of Shake, Shovel, and all others....

Be Safe, and BeFree


be

thanks for all the good words and well wishes....i'll be home on the the 8th:jointsmile:

that'll give me a few days of training before my b-day and 420 :smokin:

Vigorous high altitude training for 4-20.

Sounds great!

Also, was wonderin' if you use yahoo messenger?

If so, hit me at Lormord@. Wouldn't mind chattin' with a fellow grower outside of Cancom forums. :jointsmile:


be

Too bad we can't watch your ladies grow. Sadly mine grow no longer....:( but, I'm start some outdoors this year I think, maybe, who knows. Either way, making what I got into some hash, at least it wont be a total waste, there's just too much plant matter for me to want to smoke it, at least, how it is now. Till later, peace.
