So, I finally got around to hanging a second 1000 watter in the tent. Its just a basic cool tube setup till my friend is done using my nice hood. But, got it up and running, redid the fan setup a bit, and drumroll....swapped timers to 12/12. Today marks the start of flowering. You heard that right! Flower mode engaged! Sit down, strap in, and get ready for the show. heres a couple quick pics and a quick video. I have to get the cords run nicely, and gonna add an inline intake fan. but this is the basic setup now.

Speachless! I'm growing in a camper closet right now, so you know I'm jealous! (& I'm getting crowded out with just 10 plants)! I have a bigger outdoor grow every year, but still not even as many as you have indoors. I miss the farm. Back in the day, I had outdoor crops of 600+, in addition to a lg grow room, 2 grows a yr inside.
-- That's one hell of an awesome grow you have. Don't know why it took me so long to take a peek! It must smell like heaven! I'm curious as to how well they bud under LEDs. I've heard both good & bad things. So I'll definitely be back! Its a good thing you're doing. ~~~~~PEACE!~~~~~

ok so what happened with the LED's?? suppose its not a LED grow anymore
looks pretty awesome anyhow

Yea I vegging still with leds, and I had hoped to flower in the large tent with leds, but I don't have enough panels to cover the whole area. The leds made the nodes suuuper tight and I'm sure would do great in a smaller area. I am gonna flower in a small tent with then soon, just am so damn busy

So...it would appear the bsb x WR x CB has a bit of a tendency to hermie out. Was inspecting the garden and all the females of it started showing balls to. Chopped them then made a very nice bouquet and gave it to the misses lol. I threw a couple mothers I had into the flower tent to fill the spots. I need to get in and spray azamaz again I am overdue. but so damn busy. anyways, heres some pics. The plants are about 3-4 tall about now, stretching still. starting to get some nice smells to theres a few of the Dream lotus x tangerine dreams that are starting to pick up a nice citrus aroma to. Its starting to get exciting!

Yeah! Popas got pretty ladies! Like what I'm hearing about aroma. Makes me want to sniff the pics! LOL! Sorry to hear you're so busy you can't slow down & enjoy some laid back quality time chillin in the grow room. We all need a little R&R once in a while for the sake of our sanity! Hope you find a way to squeeze in a little time for yourself soon. Sometimes its just hard to catch up with your own thoughts! :) :) :)

thanks :) I hope so to! I am really tryin to get into a house, so tired of renting and wasting money. Working hard to make that happen

When you think you've finally found that dream home...... DONT SIGN ANYTHING UNILL YOU TASTE THE WATER!!!! I've known so many people who DIDNT do that & some of them now have nasty water that's so bad it constantly burns out filters. So remember to check that water! A friend just a few miles from me has water so high in iron & sulphur that filters don't touch it, & here I am with the best spring water in the world about three miles from her. I am so blessed with perfect spring water (yep, I said spring), & rich, rich loamy soil. I hope you can find something as good (minus the bitch of a neighbor)! ;)

Due to the 3 hermies, I shoved 4 new plants into flower, they are the noticeably much smaller plants. the others are at day 5-7

IDK if you can tell or not, but the plants are getting about 4 foot tall now. Had an eletrican out today and he added 2 new 20 amp circuits and plugs to them. Gonna be able to turn all light bulbs on now correctly!

Boy, am liking all that I see!! And now new circuits, good job.

Been a while since I done a nice veggers/led update so i apologize, and heres a nice update!
The veggers/moms are doing great. SInce I replaced the t5s with the led they have shown a marked difference in growth...nodes are getting tighter again but they are still explodin with vertical growth. I decided to do some supercropping and topping, so all the plants that had already been topped last month got supercropped outwards to bush up, and the smaller plants not yet topped all got topped. The lemon larrys grow sooo slow compared to the others, but everytime we walk by the veg tent we can smell lemons of 2 little 10 inch tall lemon larries, so they are worth the extra time. The purple cracks are taking off, nice looking structure. Cant wait to see how they do outdoor this year!
The blue cheese is really living up to barneys farms reputation. She is VERY virbrant and explosive grower. I have to keep pulling clones off it so it doesnt take over the tent. Up to like 10 tops on her now...shes gonna be a BEAST outdoors.
Anyways, I planted a bunch of seeds for the outdoor crop. did 25 sin city power nap, 25 dream lotus x tangerine dream, 8 vortex x blue dream, 25 black sour bubble x casey band x querkle. Its gonna be a fun year!
heres some pics!

Now you've made me want to try Larrys Lemons & Blue Cheese! But blue chesse would definitely have to be an outdor grow!
-- You're gonna blow everybody out of the water with these new seedlings! WOW! What a variety! So there you go again! Showing us all up! LOL! You must not have time for ANYTHING else! This is a full time job!
-- Great pics & VERY informative post. Wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you sharing the eye candy! Now go get some rest with a nice big bowl! ;) ;) ;)

BTW, are you 'mainlining'? Looks like it. I found a great tutorial on the subjet. Just google, 'grow weed easy/mainlining'. The tutorial is by Nugbuckets, & he developed & named the technique. He also explains why it works so well, mainly about the equal nute uptake by each cola. Very interesting & informative. I was almost there with my technique, & after seeing this, I tweeked it just a little to get what Nugbuckets has going. Check this out! You don't wanta miss it! ;) ;) ;)

Thanks man :) Yea the blue cheese i have is a very nice example of the cheese dominance. Its funky thats for sure! I have tried probably a dozen cuts of Blue cheese trying to find a good "blueberry muffin/pancake" type taste, and this one if probably the best version I have tried, but it lacks any blueberry taste or flavor.
The lemon larry is out of this world. Everyone who has smoked it reports its to die for. It REEEEEEEEEEKS like lemons both in veg and in flower. DENSE as fuck, donkey dick colas. loves being super cropped and trained. Its a clone only strain by elite genetics I think. I never seen anyone else with it though.
As far as life...I have none lol. The sad part is I have a 4x8 tent and a 4x3 tent that I am not taking pictures of lol. I spend at least 5 hours a day dealing with plants, and go through 30-50 gallons of water every day. I am buying 12 acres in oregon for this outdoor season to, so planning on running 2 gardens with 99 plants. It suits my life nicely, I live off disability mostly, and love gardening so this lifestyle works well for me.

I know how to mainline and have mad respect for nugbuckets. His ace of spades he mainlines look incredible, but no I have never done a real mainline. I top, and top usually 2-3 indoors, and probably 2 dozen times outdoors. I super crop topped plants spreading each side flat to make nice bushes. Most people use string or wire or something to tie and LST, and I used to, however I don't like having cords running everywhere and then if the cord snaps, the plant will return to shape. I usaully supercrop till I hear that nice little snap of the branch. It takes the plant a bit longer to recover, and I usually fed superthrive/b1 after supercropping. However, where it snaps it makes a very thick layer of stem, locks it into place, and makes the stems much thicker and sturdier. I also sometimes crimp, which is basically using a thumb nail and pressing into the stem at various lenghts and pushing in till u here the little pop. this is lower stress then supercropping, but still stresses them a bit. Makes the stems THICK though.

I'm mainlining this grow. Have the top four branch thing going. As soon as they grow out a little more, I'll be cutting the two branches just under them for clones. Then I will start the bending & supper cropping. (they're still too small to produce much energy, to take the cutting now would slow down growth untill the younger growth matured more). I'm posting pics to photobucket, but can't get them from there to my grow thread (camper closet grow). Ill get there eventuality. Two things I'm trying to document. 1, you CAN have kick ass fluo grows (T5's +CFL's), & 2, here's the technique that makes it work! (Though mainlining is the perfect method from closets, to grow rooms, to the great outdoors). Really maximizes production, while keeping the plant open for air flow & better light penetration.
-- Now see what you've done!? Now you've made me want to go to Oregon! LOL! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

SO, sadly I gotta stop putting pictures of the plants online for a bit. Have a major security issue come to light that needs to be addressed. I am very sorry to be in the position, but trust me when I say my hands are tied. I will still be active and report how things are going, and after I move I will put up some pics, but in the mean time gotta hold off. Sorry friends.

I do like the look of mainlining, but one thing I don't like is the amount of time it takes and the amount of canopy you must remove. In the same time to mainline a 6-10 headed plant I could have a monster. with mainline you train to remove budsites, I prefer to train to add budsites. Just my style :)
Soldiers Co OP Led Test grow
Everybody has worked out a system that works for them, so everybody grows differently, as it should be. I prune & sometime supercrop, sometimes just bend, very close to your method. I noticed how close we both came to mainlining, just without removing foliage/ smaller budsites. I decided to go full out mainline this time because of tiny space, no room for more than a 4"-6" clip on fan in the grow, & just a computer fan for exhaust, so I need all the help I can get with airflow (actually need the heat, night time lows have been hovering around 4ºF, back room only gets heat that migrates from the front). For outdoor grows, I also have this eastcoast humidity to deal with & need a little boost in airflow to prevent mold, so the 'open headed' part of the pruning is beneficial to me. (I keep falling back to old fashion nurseryman terms!) No matter what method someone would use, things still need tweeking to customize for for their area. Diversity... a good thing! :)
-- I'm so sorry about your security issues! You're busy enough as it is & even under normal circumstances, moving is exhausting & disruptive to living life. Wishing you loads of energy & patience my friend! Much luck with your security issues too. :) :) :)

I appreciate you and catbuds mentioning mainlining and Nugbuckets! After I read the posts mentioning it, I read his whole how-to page. I don't have the space to do something that large at the moment but it makes me VERY eager to try something like that. While it looks like it is training to remove budsites, it looks like you are creating an array of very large, dense, strong-stemmed main colas. Just looks fun to try for me!
And papapayne, very sorry to hear about your security scare. Wish you luck with everything and I hope your plants are able to thrive because they look so good now.
