Yeah, right around then...if I don't screw up with the new HPS.
But you also cant understand why she needs 30 pairs of shoes...can you? :)Quote:

damn bro that plant is a bueaty...lol good grownin man good growin
Thanks, Toke, I'm tryin'...
Just a Day 20 update...Hardonna is now drinking bottled water (with Superthrive). She'll get her first taste of bat guano tea tomorrow:
your doing a good job. i like the way this is unfolding. i'm happy for you. lets hope you get a good amount of females. happy growing.
What strain is Hardonna?
You are doing a good job :D
Hardonna looks quite bushy & has a thick stalk for day 20. Best of luck & happy growing :D
Sheâ??s beautiful ski
Thanks...
She's bag seed, but I'm trying to convince her she's feminised White Widow.
nice plants ya got there my man.
Just a Day 21 update...added a cool, low wattage bar light just to get in under the leaves a little. Bat guano tea is brewing in the sun this afternoon (have to remember to label that jug :) ).
Wait til you see her a week from now.
That is if you dont kill the bitch. :)
Ha, so stop giving her late night vodka shots while I fondle her...got it.
Just a Day 23 update...
Gave her bat guano tea yesterday (10-2-1). Three teaspoons in 2 liters of purified bottled water, brewed overnight and left on a sunny deck for 1/2 day.
Starting to find myself in a bit of a dilemma...I really only have room for 3 or 4 full sized plants, but 11 of her sisters have been doing so well, that my 60 day veg plan might change. I'm considering a 45 day veg and hoping to have 8 females.
With a 400w HPS and nine CFL's for flowering, I think that Hardonna will still have a terrific life if she's in the center of it all.
But is shortening the veg period to allow room for her sisters to live and flower somehow cheating Hardonna out of the best possible life?
She's looking good, still growing really bushy. I think 45 days veg would still be a decent amount for them to veg. You'd have to work out what is more worth it though - do you think you'll get more (& will quality change) if you have 3 / 4 plants for 60 days veg or 8 plants for 45 days veg. :D
Empt........
Same problem I run into.
What to do what to do what to do?
15 days is a long time in the life of an MJ plant.....
Just keep harddona in the center and shove all the other bitches to the sides and corners. :D
Remember you will probably be able to see pre flowers on some of these plants by day 30....
I would take the ones that show you their sex and prioritize them if it comes to altering grow. Cutting the veg time by 15 days will help control height issues but not really breast...i mean breadth issues.
She looks indica all the way so I wouldnt worry about her too much right now.
I havent looked at the others but if they are mostly indica, you should be fine.
That's now my plan, thanks. I have a mix of height and width issues because my grow room ceiling is sloped.Quote:

She needs more light.
Those secondaries are begging to come out but need more light.
For the love of GOD...give her more light.
Sorry but true. She needs more bro....
I think perhaps you should be looking at some sacrificial plants :D :D :D
Give her another light for real...
She'll wake up to another CFL shinning on her bum. Thanks....Quote:

Any particular reason why?
Some bulbs you will have no choice...but it appears yours offer you the option. I would be consistent thruout the whole chamber....
NORMALLY, horizontals offer the best broadcast of light.
Check out different positions and see if uniformity casts a more broad light spread.
I notice your lights are directly over the tip top center of the plant. This is not the best way to get light to the undergrowth or secondary bud shoots.
I would move the lights or the plants to off center just enuff to penetrate down the main stem a bit more.
Remember as your plants evolve, so must your grow setup. You need to adapt to the environment, just as much as you try to force the environment to adapt to your efforts.
Always make it a win win :)
I see a....a.....i think its....WTF?
A red book? :) :)
I see a lot of light loss coming from the bottom. People underestimate the power of the beam of light.
Remember, light is energy and thus will travel forever until converted to another form of energy......
ABSORBTION.......(fuck thats hard to spell)
You bottom does not appear uniform in depth and it appears you are losing some reflective potential. If you need booster chairs and what nots, try and keep them all to one side of the grow room.
If you have to elevate some things, thats cool but keep it uniform...like a hill but not like a city block with different sized buildings all over.
your plants look good and you got a good one going....but you need to feed the beast you are creating. Looks like you could easily use double the lighting you have.
Remember...in plant growth and good sex.........YOU MUST HAVE PENETRATION.
Those fan leaves are robbing the secondairies already.
The monsters need light :) :)
Keep the monsters fed :)
Good work.....yet now is the time to master the situation and take control of the bitches :D
keep it up you're doing great
Yeah, even the dark green pots...I hadn't even thought about them until I saw your SOG setup.
Today I will attack my absorption.
A penetrating, anti-absorption day.
I see lot of light falling thru the bottom that needs to be stopped...and I see no light canopy.
The green pots arent a problem.
The bottom and top is where you are losing reflective properties.
work on the bottom and top :)
If you are gonna use CFL's these are MUST HAVES :)
Well, I mylared and dull-side foiled to hold the mylar tight...the ceiling is painted white and the floor is a thick mylar...it seems amazingly brighter. Harddona has a second CFL, which I'll keep a close eye on and continue to adjust.
Jeez, the difference seems to literally be night and day...thanks HD!
Which from the full room shot is Harddona? What is the indica/sativa counts of the other plants?
... you need sunglasses to go in there? Looking good though.
Harddon when will the SOG results be in?
Hey, Mono, sup?Quote:

Hardonna has the two CFL's on her and most of the fan. The light on her belly has made an amazing difference...with the bat guano tea and added light you can almost see her growing.
And thanks for the sample. I kicked back on the beach with a hottie, my surfboard, and lit up watching Irene crashing 6-footers. Huge waves followed by extreme peace.
Mahalo!
WOW!
Much much better.
Now that is how you add some light!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone using cfls should take a lesson from this one.
Great job. :)
ONe final thought....
TO be 100% in compliance, you can also add small white chipped marble rock to the soil top.
This white rock will help reflection to the underside of the plants.
Just make sure the white rock is marble or granite or any other NON WATER ABSORBING rock.
That will increase the light efficiency yet another degree :)
Thanks, Harddon! I'm on my way to a garden center for chipped hard rocks...Quote:

It is nice to see when you give advice people actually take it.
And the reward shall be yours......
You shall see.....
I am tiring of answering the same questions, so from now on, I am only offering help to those who havent been helped properly by someone else, or to those that have the basic fundamentals and concept down but might need a pointer here or there.
It is far more rewarding to see a room like yours evolve because you actually listen and take action :)
Your room looks so much more conducive now to growing some good herb.
I hope you are able to tell the difference and I know in a couple of weeks you shall.
BTW, I dont think you ever answered....are your babies getting SuperThrive?
If not stop by the Home Depot and get some :)
And grab me a bottle of VOX vodka while you're out too.... :)
Hey, Harddon, this has been fun and I can't thank you enough for the great advice. I always try to research first (so my questions don't seem too stupid), but your "live" answers are freaking priceless.
BTW, I've been adding Superthrive since Day 21 watering, I believe.
I'm psyched about watching your SOG. If you find it's a good way to go, then I'm all over it for my next grow. I have the seeds all lined up from some bud a friend hooked me up with; two hits and you look down and wonder what the fuck is in your hand (gracias Mono!).
Someone's sig on this MB says "Pot isn't addictive until you starting growing it", or something like that...how true, at least for me.
But first things first...I still have a couple weeks of vegging and I'm nervous about this HPS for flowering...really nervous...
A tip from me for anyone buying white marble chips: try to get a bag that doesn't seem loaded with white powder. My bag said "the first rain will gently wash it away". I sure the fuck hope that never happens in my grow room. It took two hours to pick out the dark stones and to wash and scrub the remainder. Ah, a labor of love, I guess...
It looks like your growing on the surface of the sun...lol.
I'm just lurking in on your grow...and I'm loving it.
keep up the good work :)
Fuck dude....
That is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet :)
Stop the nervousness other the flower...
That is the easy part :)
You have already done the hardest part.....and your plants are thriving.
Whats the temps at?
Thanks, Clever! Eh, the pressure builds not to fuck up...
Daytime temps range between 80 and 83 degrees, then drop down to between 72 and 75 after lights out. We live deep in the woods and don't even have air conditioning---I regulate daytime temps just by opening the grow room door. There's a ceiling fan just outside the room that really helps move huge amounts of air.Quote:
