So this is my entire crop for now.....just took down some others....but thought I'd throw a pic of her in. Hope she gets enough light in here, lol.
This is a straight blueberry female....she's been doing great. I just turned her 4 days ago (about 4 weeks old I think) and sprayed her first dose of Reverse yesterday....one more in ten days. So far I haven't done anything stupid with her and only have about nine or so more weeks to go....:D
She's a beauty, blueberry has always been a favorite of mine.
yumm i cant wait to see her buds ..
Another beautful budding lady on the way there WH.:thumbsup: She does look a bit lonely playing in the light by herself there. :jointsmile:
here are a couple piks of my plants i have them under 10 100 watt cfls...i would like any feedback if possible and the are about 1 1/2 feet maybe more away from the lights the 1 on the top is i believe indica and is turning a lil purple on the branches and the other is indica im sure...im going to put them in separate pots as soon as i get pots....:wtf: im not sure on what type of plants they r any suggestions would be good....and you have a nice plant weedhound i envy you...
Hey Hound, your little girl looks pretty lonely - wish I could Email you some nice clones to keep her company.
Your getting closer !!!!!!
8.5 oz. now . :D I'da let this poor loaner veg longer if it were me . Just 1 of these will fill that entire space w/ a 1000w all to it's self I bet . Tokudai made comment on how empty my room was at first too . hehehe . The last plant you cut , was it about 3x your average in the past ?
I don't know what to make of the ph deal / hydroton .
I think alot of it is because there was 0 nutes in the water . Mine still drops .6-.7 per day even w/ r/o . I only ph it once a day still and no signs of lok out / def yet . I think once nutes are in the water it shouldn't have such violent chgs so fast . That and try soaking it in ph correct water before begining next time . No clue sis ?
Holler later
Crispi :jointsmile:
did you make that single plant hydro set up or buy it? and how is it working for you??/ thanks
X-C....yes that about is triple what I've gotten....the gooey stuff is everywhere in the house. With this one I'm concerned about the rootbound thing I've been dealing with so was trying to avoid letting it get so big but I'm already lst'ing it. Definitely a different type than the crystal.....this is a very tight, stocky, short plant plus the poor thing is by itself so it's really hard not to pester it in my usual helpful manner. :D
Tevnig, that one is part of a kit I bought that includes 8 buckets and central rez.
General Hydroponics WaterFarm
I like my waterfarms as a rule but they do have their drawbacks. If you are good at building I'm sure you can build something that will work for you if you don't want to buy pre-made. ;)
Just curious, can you start a seed right in the waterfarm?
About every 15th try I get a usable pic so I'll put them up as I go. :cool: Here's my blueberry.....doing very well so far. :) No issues as of yet and she seems happy so perhaps I can get through ONE plant of not doing something stupid. I'd love to have that happen since I really seem to be having issues with the hydroton this grow with my seedlings; not only with the ph problems which really seems to have slowed things down (even with adjusting 3-4 times a day) but the other issue I wasn't prepared for was how light the stuff is.....which I thought was wonderful until I spilled one and discovered the stability of them is pretty nil. So my mongrel seedling really took a beating with that unscheduled little jaunt...pretty much ended up on it's side and now looks pretty droopy so I hope it recovers. :( I''ll post a pic of it in about 30 tries or so....
but here's a few close-ups of my last plant....nice trichs if I do say so myself but also not a bad camera......just too damn many different choices that I don't understand. More photos as I (hopefully) get my act together. ;)
Ok let me be the first to say wow, those last 2 pics look incredible. How's the smoke?
I was wonderin how close you were able to get your light, I remember you were takin measures to drop it as low as possible
I pretty much let them grow up to touch the glass before I move my 400 up each time it seems as long as I have a fan across the top of the canopy they don't mind being right next to it I'm sure a 1k puts out way more heat though especially since my bulb is gettin about that time for changin
I gotta figure that berry is gonna explode over the next month I wouldn't be surprised if you pull 10z or more
I'm just about to order the new digital and I'm still on the fence between the 600 and 1k digital by lumatek
The 1k is just a bit better all around but I'm not sure if the height and heat constraints will let me so I've got my fingers crossed that you could get yours like 1 ft away hehe
And I gotta say DAMN! just once more cause those last 2 buds are probably the best I've seen
Great Job WH ttyl
Nice looking plants...Weedhound I had trouble with the digital camera we have but found that when putting it on the "Action setting" for taking pics of athletes running or whatever, that eliminated almost all the trouble with blurring. Try that and see how it works :thumbsup:
that's some serious bud!
I see we got the camera troubles worked out .
Looks yummy sis .
Crispi :jointsmile:
Awesome trichs on those buds WH. The blueberry looks like she is coming along nicely, have you got her any playmates ready to go in yet?
Damn that new camera sure does serve you justice haha. And nice buds and plant. I'm gonna have to get a jewelers loupe so I can take nice macros like those.
daaaammm that is 1 hella nice bluebarry plant.
U sweem to be doing great so far. so keep going.
Thanks for the comments you guys and hemp.....thank you for the tip but it has a setting for those close ups called super macro where you have to adjust everything manually.....action is a different setting. It keeps telling me to increase shutter speed but I've changed it to the highest setting and it still says something about increasing iso speed.....there's about nine million different settings on the thing and so far I understand exactly.....three. :stoned:
Sexy plant....very bushy. :)
The Fog :rastasmoke:
the iso if I remember right is the shutter operation speed the lower the number I think means the lower the milisecond count so the lower the number the faster the picture will be taken...
I found the best luck with shining a light right on what I wanted to picture and leave the camera on auto and it will choose a fast shudder speed cause it needs less time to absorb enough light to make the picture...the faster the pic is taken the easier it is to avoid blur unless you have a tripod or it's resting on something...
PS My camera that broke needed to be a few inches away before it would start to focus right but most cameras I know need closer to a ft
Yes, as others have said, that blueberry looks fantastic. So do your harvested buds... they look absolutely delicious.
Your threads have inspired me to possibly try DWC with one of my lowryders when the seeds arrive. I've heard of and seen great progress with DWC, and I've heard lowryders do pretty well in them.
Well, best of luck with the rest of your grow!
Peace,
horror business :rasta:
nice close ups weedhound
I'm not telling but I'll post a pic after a camera session. :D
Thanks Mark....the camera is cool but a bear to try to understand.
Can we expect some new sultry bud shots from a zooooomtastic new camera?:woohoo:
Mark did you take the top reflector off yours? I need X-C to check in so I can ask him what he did with his as well.....I think he took his off altogether. The idea is to be able to get the light down (if you look at X-C's photos he's got his cool tube between the plants instead of above them)and that is what I want to accomplish.:cool:
I'm not finding it to be really cooler than my other reflector but that isn't why I bought it so no problems there.....perhaps two or three degrees lower in my grow room so I found that interesting. Just thought I'd throw that useless tidbit in. :D
Three guesses and the first two don't count.....:D
Your gonna like it .
Those sucker branches / underdev. buds will be a thing of the past now . My lower growth is as far along as the tops because of the cooltubes .
Post a pic. of it . I left the wings on mine and just bent the shit out of em to increase the footprint of the light the 1st grow w/ em . You should see a noticeable dif. w/ like 270 degrees of usable light verses whatever decides to ricorchet around and find it's way out the bottom of the old hood . :thumbsup:
Peace sis.
Crispi :jointsmile:
Yes, there is my question...the reflector inside did you take out, throw away and get a batwing or ? The guy at the store said it would be easy to cut the inside reflector back as well....I was thinking of leaving something like two inches on each side......????
Mine had batwings on em ,
No internal reflectors . But I have both tubes bolted to a piece of 1 x 4 aluminum tubing so I'm losing about 4 in. of light from the top being blocked like your talking w/ the internal reflector sorta . I'd try it like it is and see how it works . I've seen 2 dif . types of reflectors inside them too , if you look down the cooltube end for end 1 is bent like a letter C . 2 = like a letter M if this makes sense , which is in yours ?
Are you still gonna use the MH and the old hood for veg. ?
Crispi :thumbsup:
I've wrapped up my reflector and glass and tucked them safely away....that will be a piece of equipment I will keep for later. As for the mh lighting I must say it really does do what they say it does as far as veg imo....I like the cfls but they certainly aren't the same as the monster mh's so I may go back to it after a few rounds with the smaller cfls....keeping that option open. :) (Keeping all my w/f's too in case...)
I'm already not happy with that reflector...it's shaped like an M inside, lol, I knew exactly what you meant. They said I could cut it down if I wanted but the other option is a batwing like you have. Thought I'd try to cut it first and get a batwing if that doesn't work. I want way more light about two thirds of the way up.....strictly keeping the light off the ceiling; that's it. :cool:
dammmmmm WH. that looks just great.
so how much do U think UR gunna get in yield.
I bet a whole lot.
now i'm jealous.....
what's up, you guys don't like me anymore? i just started three thunderfux, and they all sprouted! pix later....
love, lestie
Oooo.....I've heard of that one....is it supposed to be a an indica or sativa?
Nice coolshade set-up WH. Guess I'm going to be copying you in a few weeks. :)
Is that a proper MF you've got Celeste or one of the sagarmartha strains?
I'm jealous also lol. I need a cool tube light so I can move my lights closer :(. In the future I might just end up getting a 600w cool tube light because those things seem to work greater than I thought. Nice light WH! Can't wait to see how that plant grows :).
I took the batwings off of mine and junked em .
Theres no reclectors on mine now , just the center piece of the batwing which is bent like an M like yours is but mines outside of the tube . Just try trimming the internal reflector if it's possible . Look close at this pic.
Peace
