Seedsman Feminized White Widow + AK47 lowryders feminized LOG

Hi.

To start with the smell.
A charcoal filter is not a big investment ant it filters 100% of the smell as far as I can tell here.

I dont ventilate straight to the outside either and I live in an appartment in a major city. My ventillation goes into the tent close to the floor passivelly then throgh the filter hanging at the roof of the tent---cooltube with 600W HPS in it---fan---out the top of the tent. Close to the roof of the room the tent is in there is a ventillation in my appartment that takes the air 4 stories up to the roof but I don't force feed this vent as I would create an overpressure in the duct then that might press air into other peoples apartments if my house's vent stops working for some reason.
This setup works flawlessly and is totally smell free.

About the lights it depends a bit. If u have white walls or even mylar walls I'd go with the 600W as one light is easier to handle than many and even though light has to be further away from plants it still produces a LOT of light.
But ye, I dont know what kind of area you are trying to light up etc so in the end you have to come up with a solution that fits your needs.
If you are using a cooltube you dont have to keep the light that far from the plants anyway even with a 600W hps.

There is a bad looking picture of it with lights on earlier in this thread... Not a good picture but gives a good idea of the room...

And then a small personal f*** the world outburst so dont mind the next couple lines

10x Joint Doctor AK47xLR2 Fem
10x Zenseeds BubbleBerry

So to pick up, we took a sample from the little flowerlady today and she will be harvested next weekend.
The little sprout which survived is looking sweet and is letting leafs, im trying to figure out why some of them is setting leafs very closely and is not chasing the "sun" though but that we're looking into.

We have 2 pot plants we need to flower to determine sex and hopefully it will go good from there on so we're taking it down have only 1 set going from as soon as we have determined sex on the 2 potplants.

I completely forgot to mention that we plan to water the plants with what they seem to be able to take every day and then flush them bi-weekly to avoid lockage and overferting.

Please if you have useful comments feel free to drop them in, and im still looking for a better solution then having to rely on my photographer...

danish, there's nothing wrong with your photos, my friend. Keep posting them! I'm still impressed by the shape of your plants - aesthetically amazing. Sounds like you have your setup all worked out. Have you decided on the 600W hps instead of the 3 125Ws? I would say it really depends on the coverage you get from the 600W - can you use anything to disperse the light from the 600W to give you better coverage?

As for your autoflowers, I would agree with what Mr.GoodMorning02 said above. My MIQ was an autoflowerer, and she thrived well outside with basically 16 hours of good sunlight - my guess is she would have taken more.

Keep up the good work, my friend! And, best of luck with your grow!

hey Jazeking im glad to see you and your positive spirit combined with good writing in my log again.

Im not even close to home atm so im replying only towards the comments of light.

MrGoodmorning2:
To catch up on your comment about lighting, you seem to forget the basic 1/4 factuation of lightbeams ?
OK to explain it i guess the easiest way to say it is that if you produce 1000lumen pr. 1cm of the bulb you will only produce 250lumen at 10cm from the lamp.
Thats why im considering 2x125 + 3x125 + it will lower the general costs quite a bit in the long run.
For the time schedule well some say this some say that, im looking to forward to harvesting around 30-40g dry bud from my lowryder so think what you want im pretty sure this is working just fine.

Jazeking:
Im so glad to see you here since you is always so danmed positive :D im pretty sure its caused by the remains of MIQ ;) but anyways back to topic.

No i have not decided yet.
As for what i have now, 2xCooltubes with E40 sockets, 1x250W CFL 6500K with ballast in it, 1x600W HPS with ext. ballast, 2x35cm ozon tubes with fittings (not installed yet)
This we are strongly considering changing into the other setup also with cooltubes on every lamp.

I have no idea why the plants looks so symmetrical actually but you sure made me laugh with the dolphin commment... i think ill grow some hyacintbush or something and try that out just for you :P

Anyhows i should be home with 4-5 hours then i will take a look at the ladies and let you guys know how they look.

PS: jazeking cant you gime like a tutorial in writing so i can describe my plants like you do yours ... or should i just take snaps with my iPhone and then let you comment ?

hey man...whatever works for you. I feel ya on keeping the cost down so more power to ya. hope ya get what you're striving for. i'll check back again


gmorning

All the ladies are looking healthy so thats good
My little baby keep amazing me, she is now about 30cm tall and still 100% symtrical even after being topped twiced :D she is popping out her leafs in exactly 90 degrees from the main stem and then the 4 tops is just starting preflower now :D

Anyways i need to get to work so ill drop in tonight perhaps with some low quality pictures of the ladies...

It looks like all our sprouts is gonna survive that i like :D

We're almost ready to harvest the little one and considering to harvest the 2 large pot plants as well.

The small ones is starting to stretch out now so their actually starting to look good.

On saturday when we harvest its also time to start ferting the little critters.

As for pictures i am still trying to find a solution as all i have for the time being is a lowsy iphone camera :( let me know if you still want pictures of em from my iphone then ill take some and put them up.

We do we do.

Take pictures. :)
I am very interested in your plants man, especially the WWs. ;)
Started flowering today actually. Bitches 36-40cm so guess they will be huge in 4-6 weeks here. How much did your stretch in flower?
