hopefuly you can get someone to add a larger fuse/breaker in the basement for whatever circut the garage is on . tell em you plan on getting like a 5 hp. aircompressor in the garage and need atleast a 20 amp breaker/fuse for it .
good luck

What I do when I use the heater is put it on a timer so it turns on about a half hour after lights go out and turns off a half hour before they come back on.

These (like the rest of the pics) are taken with a mobile phone camera, pending an issue with the real digital. That should change soon.
The HID light spectrum causes the pic to be a little "wavy." Hope I don't give anyone a headache...
The close-ups are of nute burn of some sort. The pH in some of the buckets got higher than the rest of the system, so I think some valves - as per Crispi are in order.
Please let me know what you think :o

I've been waiting for them to recover from transplant shock before switching to 12/12, but these babies gotta go soon. They're gonna be BBWs, if you know what I mean.
Anybody have any tips for the switch? I hear a lot of people advocating Superthrive at this stage...

Sorry about the terrible quality... That will change :rastasmoke: :rasta: :pimp: :smokin:
These are diagrams of the grow. They show growth relative to light placement. In the first one, you can see that the HPS isn't perfectly centered and the plants on the left are growing taller and wider. The second diagram shows the relative heights of plants after the MH hood was added. Note the lateral placement of the lights, I tried to depict the scale as accurately as possible. Adding the 400w MH turned the "runts" into dominant-in-comparison plants within 2-3 days.
Obviously the lights aren't ideally placed, but I just wanted to point out how the plants reacted in this particular situation.
As soon as I can move the lights to a better positioning (a few inches to the left, I think) I'll make a new scaled diagram.
FWIW, the light spectrum emitted by a a MH and an HPS working together looks awesome.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding topping or LSTing, at this point? If I'm planning on 12/12ing soon, is it too late for this? Does it look like these plants would see a benefit in any such procedure, given the setup/time/phenotype/etc?
I've always been a "Christmas Tree" man in the past, but it seems like a lot of people are big on the pruning these days...
hey b/l ,
i wouldn't top em first time around , if they blow up like mine do from it i don't think your lights will cover all 12 .
as far as your p/h flux. try adding 2 more holes n grommets in your 13th. bucket . 3 lines total , 1 for each row of plants . it'll be more apt. to draw nutes evenly from all rows of buckets then -n- recirculate more efficently.
peace

Woo hoo! And there ya go. Shows once more how effective 5200K-7000K spectra are during veg. (I'm assuming your MH is a "daylight" bulb) Makes the plants do the YMCA dance.Quote:

hey B/L ,
these 4 were vegged for 5 weeks , they were topped at the 4th week so they had 1 week to recover . they're now in their 5th. week of flowering . i've never done blueberry before , kinda bum'd a lil - i'm used to forearm sized colas -n- this stuff is like tons of smaller but denser nugz . the smell of this stuff is just intense = juicyfruit gum x blueberries . theres tricomes 2in. out on the guard leaves in the budz . gonna be way potent .
u can benefit greatly by topping or lst or a lil of both , but you gotta have the light and the room . we gotta spin these every cpl. days so they get light all the way around and it's kind of a pain in the ass .
peace
crispi :greenthumb:
Thanks for the input Crispi, my man!
So you're not getting big colas off the BB? The girls in this thread are a "berry" strain too... Are you expecting way less yield with your BB? Which strain were you getting the forearm nugs with?
much luv,
bud luv.
so far the best yielding strain for me has been from hempdepot . from canadian seeds nycd/cottoncandy x sage . they were cheap at the time . i got 50 beans for 150.00 delivered and they're feminised . no hermies or males yet either . it's not the most potent strain out there but very forgiving as far as mistakes n stress . 50indica 50 sativa .
i bet maybe a i/2 lb. ea outa the 4 blueberry girlz . but it looks twice as potent as the mutt cross .
peace

They were looking slightly yellow this morning; an extra dose of FloraGro into the res and the symptom was gone in 3 hours.
12/12 tomorrow, for sure...
Those are lookin great:)
Consider having another run at that mylar...you'd be surprised how much of a difference it'll make if you could get it flatter.
looking sweet bud ,
next grow at crispis crib . i'm using round 5gal. pails like yourself man. picking up these 40.lb. square containers to spin em is a p.i.t.a . very wise move bud . what kinda berry strain is this ? don't remember if u told us yet ?
:bonghit: < too many of these tonight .
keep us posted .
your cuz
crispi :greenthumb:
hey crispi.
The strain is named "blackberry," somewhat of an unknown -- clones from a club.
In http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=96478 there's some blueberry like you got.
the blackberry forrest is very dense now, in 12/12 for about a week. The stems are thick!~ :)
lol blackberry...:)
when they bud they go a dark red/purple, or from what ive seen so far anyway...;) your very lucky in my opinion... and if you done some crossbreeding with those blueberries... you mite get somethin tasty...:)
good luck...
just in case you didn't catch me elsewhere, it looks like you'd be fine topping after the fifth node; it might get a little tight, but you should have a great and even canopy.
love, kp:p
so it's been a while since I've updated, so let's see what we got:
approx 18-20 days in flower.
budsites well defined with lots of white hairs.
stalks thicker than your finger.
fat rootporno.
even canopy.
what looks like the beginning of (buff) forearm sized colas.
They started growing so fast that I didn't top them. One was "naturally" topped, and it is the least hearty of the bunch, so I feel fine with the non-topping in this case.
Sorry, still cell phone pics :( . Once the trichs start multiplying I'll bring my good camera in there.
absence makes the heart grow fonder.
When I update you guys are gonna shit yourselves.:D
hey those are great tasty lookin' buds there :)
Happy Growing! :cool:
BUD LUV did not come to disappoint.
Since it's 4:30 am and nobody's around to do it, I'm gonna have to toot my own horn. ;)
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Obviously these are still a few weeks from harvest, so more trichs and density are to come.
my flood table is pissing me off.
Startin to look real yummy man .
How many weeks of flower already Bud ?
Peace
Crispi :jointsmile:
they're at about 6 six weeks, Crispi, but I couldn't give you the exact date. :bong:
Damn budluv, that cracks me up... a few weeks out and your buds look better than a lot of folks' harvest-time shots.Quote:

I think we've got Doco divin in w/ us on the buckets too . lol .
w/ mods the damn things are fool proof man . Any body can do this and obtain 3/4 lb. per bucket consistantly . I got 3lbs. of meds in exactly 4 mos. flat w/ only 4 buckets .
I'll be playin in my c-13 250w cabinet and a newly built flouro / clonin cabinet for a while now lookin for potency and variety for the next Super Bkt. Grow .
Peace man
Crispi :S5:
Yeah I saw the pics of your new round of buckets, crispi. lookin' good. I'm almost definitely going to incorporate DWC next go-around too.
The blackberry seems nearly perfect, but I don't think I'll grow blueberry again any time soon just for the fact that it's soo high maintenance. I'd rather just get an even canopy and let it do its thing -- which is impossible with this blueberry. It's too damn tall. FWIW, the blackberry is super-high-grade (clearly better than my blueberry) and it doesn't stink things up much. Zero odor control, and you'd never guess what was going on in that shed... highly recommended to everyone, but probably tough to find.
I assume all your curing is close to done right now, so it must be pretty hazy in the crispi crib today. I'm jealous ;)
More pics Please!!!! :jointsmile:
Your grow is awesome, cant wait to go hydroponic!!!!!!
chop suey.

clone-to-cut in 9.5 wks.
bud luv ... i just got the waterfarm system. i was so excited after i set it up and a few days later i already had roots coming into the 2 gal res.
however, my problem like yours was the ppm in each module. i saw your diagram and i looking to do something just like it. i am confused on your sketch ... do u have the sub. pump in another module? would an inline water pump from the last module to the back of the 8 ga. res where the check valve is be better? i am stressing over this i have been taking time off of work to try and fiugure out how to keep everything constant. i thought this system was the answer, but it seems tweaking is definately going to be necessary. any help would be great.
