Nice buds! Enjoy the youngen:thumbsup:
I've currently have Nirvana Ak-48, Nirvana Northern Lights , GrowShopAlien's Nlx and Mandala's HashBerry growing. These pictures are taken at 18 days from putting the seeds in paper towels to germ. I have 4 plants of each going , and had 100% germination success with all my seeds. They will be vegged under 104 watts of cfl's, and then flowered under a 400 watt hps and 156watts of cfl's and (2) 4' uvb 10% floro tubes.
Ive also got 1 plant of my own creation going just to see how it turns out it was created with a clone from my finicky bitch indica (who i actually fell in love with) that i stressed out with heat and light cycles to forcibly hermie. And that pollen seeded a clone of my grape/cucumber tasting sativa (it smells like cucumbers during vegg , and the buds start to smell more and more like grapes during late flower.) Well so here is my finicky bitch / grape F1 hybrid. This picture was also taken 18 days from seed.
i have been following this thread and i am excited to see how the new beans will turn out:thumbsup:
Awesome grow man!!
nice grow keep it up
nice grow . im using 400w hps and 280w's of 4ft fluros was veging under jus fluros and now moved them to the sides and using in combo
So whats the latest on this grow?
Peace
Hey, nice grow.
How did you set up those CFL's with those fixtures, I'm really looking to set up something similar and not to sure how to go about it.
Wow i just looked through the whole thing and their was a huge change from the start till the harvest... this just keeps getting better and better
Well its been awhile since I have updated, family life and lack of free time makes it hard to make time to post on these forums. That and being oh so very high off the fruits of your labors makes posting very difficult for me sometimes. :rasta:
The second harvest was done early december all the plants turned out nicely. I ended up with 1 ak-48 female , 3 nlx females , 2 hashberry females and 3 northern lights females. Total harvest was about 6oz dry. But I rushed them, I did not give them long to veg before flowering them so the yield could have been higher with a lil longer veg. I also have revegged a northern lights , the ak-48 and 2 nlx's and will be taking clones off them for my next grow in the next couple days. (I tried revegging my favorite hashberry but she didn't take well to being revegged) so eventually i'll plant some more hashberry seeds)
My best plant's were a tie this grow the ak-48 and 2 of the nlx's were three amazing in terms of ease to grow and how healthy and vigorous they grew. Both strains are super potent knock you on your ass types of weed. The nlx has a real complex flavor with lots of earthly tones to it, the ak's smoke is a little more lungbusting but both taste great. And both are covered in layers of crystals. I also had one northern lights plant I really loved
her taste reminds me of "passion fruit" and she gots crystals and a nice high to boot. The hashberrys are really stocky plants with very thick stems and a strong plant structure. The high is more mellow and great for wake n bakes and smoking if you need to still be able to cope with the world.
On another note my revegging mothers somehow managed to get
thrips! I went to walmart and got some sevin dust and now the thrips are history (((sevin dust is great)))
I have started using blackstrap molasses recently and my vegging mothers seem to love it. Im using brer rabbit brand (the same stuff the 3lb's recommends) funny thing is though the nutritional values of it seem to be even better for cannabis now (im talking about the calcium 20% , iron 25% ,magnesium 25% those are human values) compared to other people who have posted those label information's online of brer rabbit. Anyone with any input on why the brer rabbit molasses seems to have higher calcium/iron/magnesium now ?
i admire ur greeness ur walkin it world wide imagine how much juice we use
Well its been awhile and because of the summer heat I had to break down my grow, but now that the temps are more manageable I have started afresh.
I have constructed a nice flower area in a cabinet 48in long,18in deep,6ft high. It has a 400watt hps and a 400watt mh in it , so approx 133 watts sq ft LOL! Temps are staying between 75 - 82 when both lights are on. The Two Hid lamps are at the top of the cabinet with its own intake/exhaust with glass keeping the heat out of the flower area. The flower area gots its own intake/exhaust powered by a stanley blower/ with a diy carbon filter attached to it. Im Using homemade co2 this grow (5 gal bucket,5 gal sugar,yeast) and pure blend pro bloom (for soil) , pure blend grow, liquid karma , Brer rabbit blackstrap molasses , bat guano, ph up/downing properly the whole nine yards lol. The soil mixure im using is perfect mix organic, worm castings and lava rock. My grow will be 90% organic (hey cant give up some things yet lol)
I currently have (4) Mandalla hashberry, (6) Alien NLX, (4) Nirvana AK48, (6) Nirvana K2,
and (3) Nirvana Northern Lights seedlings 23 total. They were germed in paper towels with ph'ed spring water on sept 18th. Some of the NLX was already showing taproots 12 hours later. Now all 23 are in the cabinet in 40 ounce cups and looking happy. Right now just the 400 watt mh is on in the cabinet but during flower both lamps will be on.
I am hoping for some dense flavorful aromatic nugs and a good yeild per sq ft.
I plan on also making some seeds for the future both feminized (using homemade colloidal silver) and regular. So im hoping to get at least 1 good male out of each strain. (the males will be housed in a "pollen safe" lol rubbermaid chamber in another area once the plants are sexed) with some trusty cfl's.
I plan on ending up with 10-12 females for the flower area.
Sorry Ive been away for spells but life doesn't wait for anyone hopefully old folks will stop by and give me there 2 cents and new ones too lol. I will probably start a new log once the girls n boys get bigger but for now we can all chat here lol.
some new pix please if ur growing.
I'll post some picks of the new cabinet and the seedlings in the next couple days. I need to find my memory card for my camera, I dont know what my girlfriend did with it last time she took it to get pictures developed.
Here's some pics of my new grow cab so you can get an idea of what i'm working with , during veg just the 400watt MH is running , but during flower both the 400 watt MH and 400 watt HPS will be going. The lamps are separated from the grow area with a couple sheets of glass, with there own ventilation. The grow space also has its own separate ventilation.The cabinet is 6ft tall 4 ft wide and 18 inches deep of grow space. During peak flower there will be 133watts sq ft in that bad boy. I tested the lamps pre-grow and am having no problem keeping the temps in range. Right now seedlings are on a platform to be closer to the lamps during growth I will have to lower the platform because I have a fixed lamp position. Ive still got some things to do before I get this bad boy exactly the way I want it but as it stands now when I crank both lamps on its like a lil sun coming out of there, heh.
Just a quick update my new plants are coming along nicely probably will switch them over to flower around oct 20-25th. Ive been turning on the hps for a few hours a day along with the mh , to give them time to adjust to the high light intensity. So far so good. Ive checked the pH of the soil water runoff a couple times and its staying right around 6.5.
Has anyone who's reading ran light intensity's as high as I'm running them on this grow? (133 watts a sq ft of HID lighting) Is anyone keeping up with my current grow? lol ... I'm sure once the flowers start getting juicy and phat peoples will be lusting over my thread lol.
Let me know, Whats cracking about those seedlings im interested in that strain K2, let em know about height per week if your willing to man. :stoned:
yo dude whas up? those babys look nice as hell. let me ask you a question. i just built me a veg box, and since yours look good , i was hoping you could offer some advice.
my question is. will it work? it is 40 inches high x 50 inches long x 18 inches wide. i am using 4 48 inch floro's. they have 2 40 watt daylight bulbs and 2 warm light bulbs.. the box is big enough to hold 1 mother up to 5 plants total. i plan on having 1 mother and grow 4 clones every 2 months. i plan on keeping all plants no bigger then 3 feet at full maturity.i would also like to know how you hooked up all 6 of you cfl's to 1 power supply.i plan on using 4 150 watt cfl's for flowering. so any help would be great. thanks
Still out there rootdoctor? It's been over a month since a post ... hope all is well. Let us know how things are going if you can.

One of the saddest days in my life is watching this thread end. It's like a novel that you keep waiting for the end, but you never want it to end. Oh well, there are only 3,098 more threads to go....Quote:

All I did was swap the direction of the lights, basically double the intensity for the same area.

and then I click....
