Good to see brite.
What kind of strain did you grow last time and how much did you yield?
very nice britewire they are coming on very nicely indeed :)
Before this grow I had NorthernLightX in there.. they did a lot better than these cause it's a longer plant. I needed 3 weeks veg on these instead of 2.
oh well, I think I'll harvest more that 700grams on these.
I like that set up...
Is that a carbon scrubber that pulls threw the lights and out the roof?
I think I'll try that. I was going to buy 2 blowers but I guess I just need one strong one. Cool!
yeah.. works like a charm
Nice setup man!
I hope they smoke as good as they look, I grow in soil right now, and I thought that soil would not give that good yield inside...from what I see here I am very wrong.
Keep up the good work man.
My main problem with goin inside is getting supplies.
Where I live most growshops in the states do not send stuff, so I order from a growshop in Breda, Holland they deliver, but shipping is a bitch!
Also takes veeerryyy looonngg (3 to 4 weeks)
Anyways nice man...
A lot of people think that hydro is a bigger producer, but it's about the same ime. If you need a better oversea's shipper you should try Leafman trading.
Another 3 weeks or so and they'll be ready for the barber... :)
Going good.. can't wait till the ph problem is solved. Further yellowing of the leaves is definatly stopped.. now I'm just trying to find a good EC value to proceed the grow with, I think i'll try a EC of 1.7ish
Got to say britewire.Exellent set up and grow mate .Top class man cant wait to see you yeild weight dont know how i havent noticed this thread man your grow has been top class.The Postman.
It's not over yet.. I'v got another 3 weeks to go.. so I hope they get a bit bigger than this or else I'm not hitting my target
First of all I just wana say great looking plants man, they look like the result of alot of hard work and effort so I hope they as good as you hope.
Also you've kind of solved alot of headache for me too because I was planning for along time on sucking air out through the lights/top of the roof into the carbon filter.Very inefficient now I see your setup. Having the carbon sucked out directly into the growing environment to neutralise instead of having the environment sucked into the carbon filter makes much more sense.
Also I got a few questions regarding your equiptment. I recently bought that exact fan and its causing alot of problems for me. Its noisy as fuck basically, how do you tackle that problem? The ducting dosen't even look insulated, so the airflow must be noisy, also, isn't it dangerous to have it hanging at a 90 degree angle? And also if your taking the carbon through the lights and out of the room, how does the stale air in the room actually room get removed? Sorry for the noob questions.
The fan on the right side of the filter sucks the air in the cabinet thru the carbonfilter(after that it's odorless air), thru the cooltubes (for cooling) out the cabinet by a hole in the roof.
Having the fan under a 90 degree angel isn't an extra ware on your equipment.
You can always use isolated tubes for sucking the air thru. cause of the constant cooling of the lamps that's no fire risk at all. Those hoses are padded on the inside.
I'm basicly sucking fresh air into the cabinet by a computerfan on the rightside of the cabinet (not in a pic). Be carefull that the fresh air fan that you use to suck fresh air into the cabinet is a tad bit weaker than the fan on the carbonfilter. that's because you always want under-pressure in your cabinet so you can be assured no smell is going out in another place than your carbon filter.
greetz britewire
So does this eliminate the air flow noise almost completely. If you slept 10 yards from your grow space would you hear a noticable huming? Just trying to get a more accurate idea of how noisy it is. From the space i'm judging that's a 100mm fan, right? Also why do you have the intake fan (pc fan) at the top of the room and not on the plants (plant stems), what benefit does it serve in the top part of the grow box? One last question, you said the air is taken in through the carbon filter, would that be in the left side, so there's a hole in both ends of the tube?
Yes you would hear a humming but you'd have to really listen fot that sound. If there's a wall inbetween you and the cabinette you wouldn't hear a thing, I'm sure.
The intake fan doesn't blow forward, it blows the air radialy. Than the cold air drops down to the bottom where it's heated and speaded by a keramic heating fan.
No there are holes in the side of the filter you're viewing in the pics, you don't notice them because there's a layer of filtration cloth over it. the sides are closed (except for the side where the fan is connected to)
nice grow BRITEWIRE i love your plants how old r they?
in other words how many days in flowering?
They're 40 days into flowering now and they had a 2 week veg.
Lookin good.. another week and I'll stop giving nutrients
Thanks for clearing that up. Those brackets supporting the filter, did you pick those up or were they just lying around? That looks more appealing to me than hanging the filter with hooks and chain. Nice plants by the way I can only hope for similar.
YOu should hope for more cause I'm sure I'm totaly missing my target.
Those brackets are for hanging your watergutter to the roof. They fit very well and they are surtanly heavy enough to hold a carbon filter with filter.
I found some new pistils on the buds, so it looks like the plants are gonna give it one more try on upping the stakes
Cool, looks very nice
Stopped giving nutrients today.. about 50% of the hairs on the buds are brown. I'll give It about 2 weeks untill they're ready (i think)
This is an interesting thread. Those pics of PPP are giving me a marijuana apetite. :rasta: They are excellent.:thumbsup:
I too am involoved in a Power Plant crop at the moment. It will be ready around a fortnight after yours britewire.:dance:
I am a fan of the shorter plants because the main colons seem to be very thick with flat tops.:D
I am keen to here what your dry weight will be from 6 pots and 1200W.
I am associated with a grow consisting of the same 1200W (2x 600W) of HPS light but in just 10L pots. There are a total of 13 Plants under the canopy of 2 hoods. There is also a 600W adjacent, lighting a tray of 32 cheese cuttings, so I suppose you could say there is 1800W of light in the room.
Two weeks remain on the ones pictured below.
I wonder if double the soil can make a significant difference? Keep us informed!!!!
Lemme guess... those are from seeds, right?
Would they be 2nd generation?
The previous crop was from seed.
Two cutings were taken from the previous 'seed' crop and kept as mothers.
Those in the picture then are from mothers that were made from cutting from seeded plants.
The buds...
JIKES!
Dense and Frosty..
Are they firm to squeeze?
they're very firm
Stop squeezing her goodies. Otherwise she will slap you in the face with a fan leaf. :)
I hope she slaps me hard when I light and smoke the first.
I'd say, keep on feeling the ladies up.
If they didn't like it they wouldn't look so appealing and smell so dang good. Unless they are the 'dumb bitchass' variety of PPP??
I don't like to feel the buds too much, cause it disturbes and fades away the cristals on the buds. But whatever, sometimes I just can't help myself.
Contaminating the crop is my only worry, but i love to give em a light squeeze then rub my fingers together.... Sticky and stinky, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
You say you stop feeding with nutes now, do that mean you only supplying ph 'd water? &
How long did you use PK13/14 for?
Yeah, just PH 6.2 water for the next week. When you keep feeding the plants till harvest you'll get a very sharp taste too the weed. I start using PK-13-14 when the plant was in full bloom. First visable bloom is at about 1.5 weeks 12/12 and when It's really gulping up the Phosfors and Caliums is in the fourth week. It's a matter of experiance when too start with it. Normally it's in about the fourth week of bloom.
good advice man, and nice lookin grow :) :rasta::stoned:
I got soo many questions about this strain....
If you chose to grow ppp in 10L pots using the same methods, what % reduction in your yield would you expect? We expect around 1.5oz per plant on average (with still some time left i can see this figure being slightly higher).
On the subject of pots, is it wise to grow plants over 1m tall in 10L pots? Am I compromising the bloom by having tallish plants in relatively low volume pots?
How do you know when your plant has drank enough? At the moment our ppp each get flooded with 1L nutrient mix per day, top fed. But some pots are much much dryer than others the next day. There is very little in the way of run-off. Should the watering method be changed in accordance with readings off the soil moisture meter 'or' something else?
We ultimately want to maximise yield without compromising quality and work with strains that grow similar to power plant with regard to sturdiness and overall resiliance.
Well, I think you need about 3 weeks veg from clone height. I couldn't say howmany you would yield, mostly it's about your climate controle and the amount of lumens you use. PPP is a fairly low plant, so you would be okay with a 3 week veg from cloneheight (they wouldn't get too high.) When you give the plant water try too give it an amount for 3 days. That means, after 3 days you should be able to stick your finger in the soil without it feeling wet or damp. When flowering I would recommend giving water from below, that way the plant takes what it needs and nothing less. It should have drank the amount of water under the pots in about 1.5 hours.
Here's a test bud I cut off.
omg. I'm so jealous britewire! That's going to be such a tasty smoke.
hopefully I get to growing nuggets like that someday.
very nice.
