for now, i'll be flowering with a 400w mh with solarmax gold bulb (red spec) and a 1000w hps. my flower room is approximately 8x12x7h, i've got a 1000cfm fan (big and very loud, i'll be getting a variable speed control) and a couple of circulating fans. i'm getting my babies back tomorrow, and then in the morning, the lights go off:)
if i can ever find a 400w hps transformer, i'll have that one up and running again too, also have several floro's and a 400w mh for veg...
I wish! Hopefully I can bring in a nice crop and upgrade a little. Plus you know what you're doing, If I haveeven one plant come even close to one of your plants yeild I'll know I did pretty good then. I wish you fat stick buds, and hope I'm not far behind.Quote:

i'll say this, i got your back if you got mine ;)

You got yourself a deal. How do you like the Afghanis? I've never tried to my knowledge and know nothing about them, please educate me. Mine seem a little strtched now is that normal?
mine are all stretched as well and under the same conditions as the squat goddesses; i do believe that it is in the genes. this is my first ever encounter with afghan, so i'm in the dark as well. there are some great logs at icmag.com though...
i'll start a thread tomorrow, once everthing is in place and i can take pix. got any ideas for a thread name? how bout "the women's war; battle of the buds"
:D
kp
I like that alot, maybe we can get some others in on it too and give each other a run for our money;)Quote:

Why kill yourself off, I don't get it?
i saw a thread thanking me for some help i gave... sorta incriminating... i don't like that kind of publicity... but maybe i'll just stick around. if i change over, you'll know...

Hey chrissy I got my update pics! xD check em out.
I saw that thread. I hate to say it but people haveto remember that while they might not be worried about security, others are, part of why I don't like younger growers kicking around here.Quote:

MORE PICS LADIES
I know I need pics but MIL took her camera back. I need to ask her to borrow it again.
hey chrissy you should go buy a camera soon.. you can get a good digital camera for around 100-200 bucks the one im using cost 160 :) umm o ya i got update pictures and just did lights off in 6 horus ima turn them back on xD
100-200 bucks is qhite a bit to stretch with me just quiting my job to be at home with my baby. Plus MIL has one she never uses unless of course I need it.
Oh =\ if i had another one i would send it to you in the mail xD but i only got 1 :( ask her if you can have it xD
im bored chrissy! haha.. im talking to this dude that i know and he is like pro at growing lol
He giveyouany tips?
ya.. he said the reason why my plant is curling up is not because its trying to keep cool, its because im watering it to much.. thats a good tip xD i would of never thought of that.
hi chrissy, FINALLY got the room up and running. today is the first day of flower; lights were off all day, i'm on a reverse schedule...
i got some of my other babies back too (ones that had to find a home for security reasons) and while they need some work, they are doing pretty good, atc...
well, lets see about a new thread in a while.
kp
You're only a few days behind me. I just picked up some big bud, sensi mg/cal mix, and carboload, So I'll do my first flower water as just pH water and start a whole new recipe. I'm glad you got your baby back. Today I was thinking of what I would do if I ever had to ditch my babies quick. I finally decided that 1 I woiuld try and find some one here to take them 2 Creat a thread giving them to anyone here if they could pick up promtly 3 Ditch the evidence. If they have to go they have to go quick. But why focus on the what ifs.
I've noticed the differnce with the CO2, my plants look much happier with a healthy shine. I am noticing some lime green leaves popping out and sticking around, so I'm hoping my Ph water will clear out any possibly nute lockout, I really don't want to flush again but maybe I should, What do you think? I could flush but I wouldn't want to feed after because every time I do my ph drops the next time, I'm assuming due to build up.
Any Ideas guys? I'm using 1/3 stregth advanced nutrients three part nutes after flushing.
i seriously doubt you have a buildup prob at this point, and lime green leaves could just mean accelerated new growth. are they growing faster, more boomy now?
my blueberrys will throw up yellowish looking new shoots (the self topper, anyway) and in a day or two, they turn a deep dark lush green/blue.
keep it simple, sometimes you can give them too much care...

hey chrissy xD i just put 2 more seeds in the dirt sack things i bought. I dident germinate them so im not expecting them to pop any time soon.. =\ but umm.. i might start a new thread once they pop up xD so how's it going? im so bored.. it seems as if cannabis.com is dead today.
So just pH water this time then start building up the nutes again. I think I want every second water to just be pH water not nutes.Quote:

=\ i c .. its cool.. just seeing what your up to. ima go back to studdying on growing.. ttyl xD stop by thread tomorrow.
Sure I'll stop bye for a visit tommorrow, sorry for being snappy, not enough hours in the light cycle, guess I should change my mood from chatty huh? How were you supposed to know?
Just wanted to say thanks everyone for stopping in, and goodnight if you come across this after I crash.
xD its cool chrissy.. umm when do you get MIL's camera? I wanna see update pics :) um.. I know you stopped by my thread today but I posted something on it just a second ago on what happend last night :( stop by my thread =\ it kinda made me upset. well thanks alot chrissy xD
I asked MIL today about the camera and I should have it by this weekend. I'm a little worried my 400w hps might not be able to cover all 7 plants. I have the temp under control so I want to get the light as low as possible but the batwing shade and low height seem to shade the side plants a little more. I'm thinking of bending the shade out a little more or removing it all togather but then the wasted light above... I don't know. I think I'll go out and pick up 3-4 2'-3' flourescents next payday and mount them on the walls. I took three of the rooted clones and carefully removed them from the rockwool today and threw them in pots and gave them a very light feed, the new leaves were growing yellow.
Thanks for the visit your qusetions and comments are always carefully considered and thought over. But I have a crying babe cutting her third tooth in a week and a half, don't know when I'll be back, soon I hope.
I think I screwed myself a little by listening to my husband and buddy. They said I should throw all the plants into flower at once, so silly me did. I wanted to start with 2 plants and add two more each 2 weeks to keep it pretty constant and to give each plant what it needs and let the little ones catch up.
!!!OK the plants have only been in flower light 3-4 days what could happen if I pulled the 3 northerns and put them back under the MH 18/6. Could they hermi on me, they are definate females in preflower for a few weeks. I don't want to waste the potential yeild by having too many under the light. Plus I would real like more time to tie the northerns and get a few more branches pulled out from under a chance to catch up, plus the are short and I don't see them becoming a height issue anytime soon. I would take anyones opinions right now or ideas to bounce inside my head.
go ahead and tie them, it will help tremendously, but...
DON'T CHANGE THE LIGHT CYCLE!!!!
love, kp:p
I hear you kp. I waited a little to seriously tie them down and try to even them out, but they keep getting bushier(I know a good thing) and I'm worried they'll shade eachother, that and those Afghanis are leaving the northerns in the dust for height. I'll have to get you pics soon to show you how much I've trained them so far. I am planing on getting some flourescents to mount along the walls(tube not compact) with my next paycheck(and last since I quit). So hopefully I can mount them in there as stressless as possible. Don't worry I won't change them, just a lapse in rational thinking.
i love how you say the exact same thing... copy is wonderful, huh :D
the afghans will prob be taller, but i couldn't say for sure. nl, should start their stretch realy soon, so you never know. as for shading, try to keep an even canopy, and they'll do ok; consider a scrog if you have room...
kp
I love the option copy, it covers all bases at once. I'm trying to even out the canopy but those pesky afghanis are just to quick while I try to expose under branches of the northerns, I guess I could always put them up on boxes.
!!!Oh I got the camera back so new pics very soon!!!
i use all kinds of things for elevators... i keep my light high, and lift my babies up to it.
check out the new pix in my godbud thread ;)
kp

Well I went to water today and noticed that the bottom few leaves on Jaz and Mrs. Bin Laden were a little speckeled with whay I thought was perlite. Turns out the mites are back, but only on those two. So I washed the whole flower room down with bleach and water and put everyone back but the two infected plants. I put those two in the stage two dryer with the MH bulb. But before that I wanted to spray the underside and try to knock as many of those fuckers off till I can spray with Dr. doom at lights out tonight. So while I'm spraying I knock a line and it was Casey all over again, the top of Jaz falls right off. I'm mad it happened but maybe this unfortunate event will end up helping me control their height a little better. The only problem now is that the Clone chamber is right next to the stage 2 dryer and they are on different light cycles, so I have 4.5 hours to figure out how to light proof one, probably the clone chamber since that is the only sorce of light and easier to contain without ventilation problems.
Oh and the boot camp thing. I was sent off to military training camps 2 years in a row when I was 13 and 14, so we have a little more to talk about now. One thing thought is that you have no chance for dreads once your in boot camp so if your hair is that important you have to figure out something to do with it. JUST DON"T QUIT SCHOOL! get it done and over with as quick as possible as well as you can, there is no point wasting time retaking courses. I have running around to do but I'll be back soon.
have you considered using yarn? i won't cut...
your babies look great! kudos!! and it appears were are in the same battle, i've got some spider mite hitchhikers that came from my friends... rrrr, time for the neem...
