Who'd 'a thunk it?:dance:

Hey senorx first of all your plants look amazing. Im here all the time and looks like your right up there with the best of them for sure:thumbsup:. And emotional, i totally agree as i feel the same way while watching a plant grow, but these plants grow so fast that as they develop you can watch almost in slow motion.

Ok, i want to apologize for the interruption in your thread. I would never try to debate any growing information with one of the best growers here, thats for sure. DreadedHermie has taught me a lot with his in put iv simply read in his posts. I had never read what he posted from that site, or i would have never posted that pic. I feel very embarrassed over it, as i claim to be no pro like him but iv grown a few plants and enjoy helping others, as they have helped me. But using piss for a nute solution, had i read that we wouldn't be talking about it. I didn't buy into every method discussed, but i had no idea it was such a poor site. My BAD!:hippy:


Keep er green my friend :weedpoke:


:rasta:

I've always taken your posts as intended to be helpful, and in this instance cannot even imagine what you've said for which you feel compelled to apologize, or for which to be embarassed. Thank you for blessing my grow with your compliments, but I'm more of a newb than you are, and in this case have gotten lucky. Well, that and spending way too much $ on lights and utilities. Wait 'til summer and I'm frantically looking for advice on cooling my flowering room.:thumbsup:

Typically, if the plant's most recent growth is alternately branched instead of the branches appearing opposite each other, it's ready to be flowered. Keep in mind that it could double in height after going to a 12/12 cycle. Good luck.

I think you will be fine this summer. You have done your homework and what iv seen most people have some heat issues in summer. A cheap air conditioner in the room your taking air from should do it im sure. If im correct you are pulling your air from a separate room through your lights to outside? I don't remember, but if ya need an air conditioner id think you could get one now while winter is here cheaper, then waiting till summer when they mark them up:thumbsup:. Just an idea. Or, just run em at night.

My best grow was outside last year, but i wanted to let everyone sample what id grown and ended up giving way to much away and now im out. I haven't slept in two days:wtf:, now that was dumb:wtf:. As far as the indoor, i don't have a timer cuz im broke, so not sure when this grow will get flowered. Heck it might go outside if i cant do something soon. Plus i have the wrong cfl's as i need soft white bulbs to flower, but not sure that will happen. I was so pumped after the summer grow, i jumped into this before i was ready with the supplies needed, but missed the hobby. Heck, 99% of it is the growing part of it. Yeah i like the bud but promised myself id never buy it again after the summer grow, but watching it grow was amazing to me:thumbsup:. So i got ahead of myself, but live an learn i guess.
http://boards.cannabis.com/outdoor-g...cant-grow.html This was my first real go at it:thumbsup: This with the reading and the help i got taught me so much, im much more comfortable with this summers grow:hippy:

Keep up the pics my man, they look great :weedpoke:

Well maybe not 99, but close, lol

Nice work, Senorx. I have some experience with Nirvana WR from seed in soil under HPS and found the strain does have a tendency for some of the fan leaves to yellow and die off. Got me a little worried too when I first started working with this strain. Of course, maybe I too was doing something wrong, heheh. Some of your wr plants are branchier than what I've seen with mine though- otherwise very similar to the wr I've seen.

looking mighty tasty:thumbsup:. i was wondering about your light setup. i noticed that you have your cool tubes all looped together and was wondering if that cooled the fixtures enough. it seems that after the air running through 2 or 3 lights anything after the first fixture would be getting progressively hotter air flow. i may be wrong but it was just a thought.:stoned:

Good question and one that is on my mind too. I'm about to buy two cool tubes and was thinking about running in series. What issues would the second light have? Yours is more then just 2. Do you have any issues with the heat on later lights in the series?

I have 6 lights total, 3 per fan. 2 rows of 600w HPS-400w MH-600w HPS each. And yes, the cooling effect is drastically reduced by the time the airflow gets to the 3rd light in the row. For now, its ok, because the daytime high where I live is about 30 degrees on avg. this time of year, and my cooling air comes from outside. Summer, however, will be a different story. I have my photoperiod from 10 pm to 10 am already so as to avoid a problem come summer, but I have a suspicion that it may not be enough. I'm already looking into a/c for the summer. The reflectors I'm using are not airtight, so if you put your hands around the fixture where the lens meets the body of the reflector at the first light you can really feel the air exiting long before it reaches the next lamp, notwithstanding the natural heating the air would undergo anyway by passing through multiple lights. I imagine they are all the same to some extent. I'm not sure anyone would be willing to pay what it would cost to make them all airtight to maximize airflow at the end, given that the air is going to be heated anyway by the subsequent lights, so the improvement will be at the margins. This is my first grow, so any heat issues will come up in about 3-4 months. I have been worried about it since I started though. I also have a 750cfm exhaust fan on a thermostat set at 78 degrees, and it hasn't come on yet. Again, winter of course. The good thing is that all that air leaking out of my lights is just more fresh air for the babies!

I hope you're right about the summer, but 3200 watts of HID light creates a metric shitload of heat, and we get high temps of near 100 around here. As I said above, my photoperiod is overnight, and I hope that's sufficient, but I am skeptical. My cooling air comes directly from outside, which may change come summer depending on whether the air from my basement is cooler at 10pm than that from outside. It's all adjustment on the run, isn't it?
