day 11 of 12/12 all 4 are females. started the hydo on 1/2/06, they are getting really big, guess so their Big Buds :) . woke up this morning and she was 2in from the light, no effects from it, ppm 1290/ temp 75. had to put a dehumidifier in with them lastnight, the aroma is starting :D . tell me what you all think so far.
in the white widow room found 1 plant with small sacs growing :mad: . if plants had eyes the other 2 plants would turn female really quick :D .
what is a normal humidity level for flowering?
:) Hello Mobay :) Sorry but I can't answer you're question about humidity :o
However I can say they are looking very very good :) , I think you have mastered this growing lark love ;)
love mand xxx:)
Yeah Mobay,
Way to go. Looking good. You've got quite a set up there!
I'm not sure of the humidity levels. I'll keep the door open if I want to keep it down.
Damn Mobay You are doing a superb JOB
mobay theres nothing more i can say mate ,fuckin spectacular mate ,top job
MAND ;) , HAPPY SMOKE :rasta: , BIG BUK :pimp: ,AND SCOOOOBY :thumbsup: , thanks for all the input on the grow it's been a challenge for me , cause of the white widows but the big buds have cheered me back up :D . the only bad thing is that the Big Bud is 1 of the hardest plants to clone almost impossible. so iam making my grow box in the attic hoping to find the big buds a new home, she's under a 400w hps now, and the box will be set-up for a 1000w hps room. hoping to get the most buds off these bitches as possible cause it will be the last grow for Big Bud, just because you can clone em.
well put together my grow box today, getting a 1000w hps ballast tomorrow. with all this room now, what would be the best system to put the BB's in ? or just leave them alone? i know the roots are a mess down there. and if so would they stress alot if i pulled them apart? going to set up everything tomorrow to get the heat,timers, ventilation,and fans working properly :thumbsup:
Ahh the 1st box you did a good job making that:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
yeah Big Buk, i just added onto the other box to make it bigger. :D . well at 4am est the big buds will have a new home been working with the temps all day now have it set perfectly. i took the 400w ballast and put it in here, they need more light , i need to make this grow a master piece cause you cant clone these bitches. temps are 83.5 with the lights on and heater is set for 78 when they're off. it hasn't been a cold winter here, but when the summer comes it can get real hot in my attic, so i will be growing my ass off in the winter :D . next grow will be soil grow, sorry to spread the bad news , dont get me wrong hydro is the shit . but i mix my nutes in a 10 gallon container, and iam not hauling 10 gallons of nutes up an attic ladder :) . well i will post some pics with the buds in there new home tomorrow. anyone watching the fight tonight? UFC Chuck Lowdell vs Randy Coutour, thats some awsome fighting there :thumbsup: .
THAT BOX IS CRAZY..... I gotta go to walmart and get me one of those double fans
damn mobay i see your planning on doing this fulltime das wassup keep it up
Hey mobay! I bought the sunlight sheds mini caddy about 3 months ago and am just setting it up now and awaiting seeds. I have read this and its very informative. Now you have the big caddie right? Maybe since you have already done this with the same machine maybe you could help me? ;) I'm 44 and moved to the country after 42 years in the city. Only grown outdoors really. All new to me. Thanks again
hey hippie sure i can help you from start to finish, just ask away
hey man i like4 ur setup it looks real good ur plants are looking really healthy but keep us posted ;)
sorry it took so long to post the pics. woke up this morning to move them in there new home, well my old lady was helping me , she was half sleep and as we were carrying the heavy ass 10 gallon,4/ 3ft plants up an attic ladder, she lost handle of the tub so she bends over and snapped 3 of my plants,m yes iam pissed , but i guarded the biggest one with my life , mind you this has water in it. now this nute juice is splashing me all in my face cause iam on the bottom to take the weight, finally we get it up on level ground and i when i seen my plants i almost cried, when i seen how red she gets when i slapped the shit out of her. no just joking . but all and all i was able to save the biggest plant and shes ok hair growing everywhere.
as iam looking back at some pics she didnt look that big in the other pics.
man you have to stop moving stuff up and down that attic:D ... I rem what happened last time about you dropping the box on your womans foot:eek: That attic brings DANGER:twocents: :o
But what really matters is that their fine:D good luck:dance:
I got northern lights seeds.Still waitng. Since I have a mini caddie I need something short. Mostly indica I suppose. I read you mobay you had problems because they grew so quick. I was thinking of starting with 8 maybe? I know it holds 14 but...should I just put seeds right in cubes or germ first? Thanks
hippie the way i started was the paper towel method to germ my seeds. if i were you i would germ 4 seeds and place them in the corners of the tub. cause with our system they will grow really fast and i had problems when i used all 14 sites. just look at post #216 and tell me how would 14 plants look? like the nutty professor in that small car.
yeah Big Buk that was the last time i haul anything heavy up there again
you think 4? Now I can see not having 14 but 6 or 8 maybe?
with my luck 4 out out the 4 will be maleQuote:

do you never stop man ,lol the mad grower top job on that box mate
whats up scobbie are you ready for the GROW OFF :D
I think you suppose to flower early as possible with these grow boxes. So the shortest indica will have to be used I quess. I think he told me that w/o referring that he knew thats that I was trying to grow. The impression I got is that they sell these mostly for weed growers. Now I don't know the exact timetable to switch from veg to flowering but it must be alot earlier with these boxes. The guy from sunlight said you can go from seed to finish with a mini or they woundn't sell so many of them.
Have to force to flower at 12 inches
how tall is your mini? minus the height that the light is raised too. i dont want to see you struggling with those plants. cause starting 12/12 at 12inches your gonna end up with 3 ft plants.
Mobay you realize you could have just taped the broken plants back up and they probably would have grown back right? :D
People have broken their main stems right off many times and just patched it up to stay there and it grew back even stronger. Just a little info for future reference I guess. Nice plant you got left though ;). Went from 14 plants to 1. Hehe
Goodluck buddy <3
yeah Thug it was around 5am est when we took them upstairs and i didnt think anyone was on this forum to help at that time, but thanks for that advice for the future.:)
Some types of plants are more difficult to clone than others. Big Bud is reported to not clone very well. One of my favorite plants, Mr. Kona, is the most amazing pot I ever smoked, but it is hard as hell to clone. What a challenge! I noticed other varieties that were rooting much quicker, but it was the stone I was after! Once you find the psychoactive, almost hallucinogenic properties of some Indica/Sativa hybrids, you never want to smoke a pure Indica again. Indica is however, great medicinally, so I like to grow a few pure strains to.
Its about 19 iches from res to lights. Maybe you have to force to flower even earlier than 12 inches? Got seeds today. Northern lights. I think this is indica, short, bushy. It can be done in these mini's I imagine since thats what their being sold for. The light is not ajustable like on the the big one. I'm going to ask the guy at sunlight what he thinks..Quote:

JUst Stay AwaY From ThaT AttiC:upsidedow
Hell no Big Buk only have 1, gave my brother a few, have my mind set on this one only. i have learned from all my mistakes as we all go through, and the main one was going hydro for my 1st real grow. i wasn't prepaired for the very very fast grow, my next grow will be soil so i can get the hang of things on the plant life thing.
changed the nutes this morning, looking real good there. made my nutes up in a 10 gallon tub downstairs :) , put a sub pump in the tub and ran a garden hose up 2 the attic to add, i thought that shit out all night and part of the early morning before i did anything :D , cause this attic and me are not doing so well, but i will break that bad luck shit. unless its a ghost up there :confused: . here's some pics. i will post every week from now on family. next post of pics feb 13. take care all.
Guys dont let this happen to you!!!!!!!!!!
A guy was sitting quietly reading his paper when his wife walked
up behind him and whacked him on the head with a magazine.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"That was for the piece of paper in your pants pocket with
the name Mary Lou written on it," she replied.
He explained, "Two weeks ago when I went to the races,
MaryLou was the name of one of the horses I bet on."
"Oh honey, I'm sorry," she said. "I should have
known there was a good explanation."
Three days later he was watching a ballgame on TV when she
walked up and hit him in the head again, this time with the
iron skillet, which knocked him out cold.
When he came to, he asked, "What was that for?"
His wife replied, "Your horse called
