How's my girls at 5 1/2 weeks. Oh my god, I got 2 1/2 or 3 weeks left. They look like they swell some everyday now. The last crop of papaya didn't look like this. Oh my god. I will get some trichome shots in a few when the light comes on. And down in the right hand corner are some young white widow, Thank you know who. I'm going to buy stock in hortilux. I can't tell the newb's out there how much it means to have great light.
More pic's . First 2 are trchomes. Click on the pic and then in the lower right hand corner click to zoom in on my tric's. I can just use my camera to see mine. They still are clear. I was on 6m and can go to 12m. Damn I will try it. The next 2 are just to get a size on things. I have a big thumb. LOL. It's hard to tell or get a good shot with the lights on.
Dawg Gone! I gotta get me one of those lights!! :cool:
How much was it and and where did you buy it, if you don't mind my asking?
I should start reading up on electrical wiring.
Beutiful plants though, I'm envious.
WOW at the top left picture, that looks like candy to my eyes.
What kind of light were u using before?
I got the light at www.accessdiscounts.us It was normally 120 and they had it for 72 plus 10 shipping. 82 bucks was the cheapest I could find it. I just went there and they said the 1000 Hortilux are out of stock. But do a web search to find one. or keep checking . they still have 600 and 400.
I know I'm drueling myself and man you should smell it. I got almost a pound now and their still swelling. It's going to be a white XMAS.
So... What kind of light were you using before the hortilux? :P
You are only 5 weeks into flowering and you think you already have a pound?
Heh, not to bring down your spirits but don't get your hopes up until your final product is dryed and cured.
While it may look like alot (it always does), during the drying process (and you better be curing it too!) it loses 75% of it's weight. You heard me right.
And you still never answered me, what kind of light were ya using before the hortilux? :D Curious minds would like to know!
Yes I just harvested. I have been amazed once again at how much goes away when the water inside the plant tissue goes away.
I too have always bought this light becuase it is said to be the best. I think you usually get what you pay for. I would be interested in documentation however, showing side by side comparisons with less expensive brands. Is the extra cost really made up for in the yield? Probably so, but who knows...?
I buy mine at the hydro store and I get ripped off. I think I pay $115 for a 600 watt, but they always have them.
So Relic, what do you mean by looking for the true blackberry strain? There are seed banks, or don't these have the true strain?
Sorry relic, I bought a cheap light setup and it came with a bulb from China. Damar I think, cheap bulb. You could get your hand within an inch or so with out burning, not the hortilux it will burn the shit out of you at almost a foot.
Sorry I had to go back and check, They are just over 6 weeks. If I were to judge this grow over my others, in tuning things in. Yea I got close to a pound now. It will be more. I got 8 OZ's off one plant that got burned on a 400 light and then changed up to 1000 cheap bulb. It's in my grow here ( how's my girl ? ) I will keep this going to document like the other one I did. Yes relic they will be dried and cured to the max. Only way and you ain't bringing me down. It's all good . Info is the key. I have seen newb's think they got alot and end up with a few blunts.
Opie I like your AK47, I got some and they will be next on the list. I have papaya, and white widow moms, with a nice strawberry cough I hope is fem. My misty is stunted so time for AK47. Keep the Questions coming, I like it. I will keep the pic's coming.
Watts watt 1000watt=1000 watts, What type of amp meter and volt meter did you use, Data , Data, volts x amp = watts
strain is the biggest thing with weight, Lowering the rh helps them make more resin which does not evorpate (sp)
6-7 to 1 is usual with a good batch no stems no larger (shade leaf) trimmed to the bud.
As with any production its grams/watts/months, the bottom line $$$. Now using thumbs , a rule of thumbs, only works with the thumb, owner. Note size hand 6 has smaller thumbs than a size 13 . Note I have gotten 36 in arm size buds off a thunderfuck buds. God I would love to find that strain again.
Note China bulbs hummmmmmm,:mad: great for cops, to find your grow room:mad: .
Also note that time is part of how much heat the bulbs get to. :thumbsup:
oldsanclem, Good to hear from you. It was greenlee meter. No really I can see where you are coming from man but the difference in bulbs is amazing. I have AC, A huge dehumidifier for a house, that can bearly keep it down to 40 or so. I was stoned, that why I didn't put my finger print out. lol. I will put some thing in the pic's next time that everybody can size. China bulb came from a hydro store on the net inside US. The hortilux is hotter in 5 minutes than the cheap china bulb in 5 hours. It's running my little AC to death.
Thanks for the comments, that's what we are here for.
PS. If you find that thunderfuck let me know where, I could use that kind of harvest. LOL. just kidding no offence.
Not to hi-jack your thread loc,
Opie; Yeah I'm looking for SomaBlaze's blackberry. He gave a few clones out then passed away. Too bad overgrow went down, there were some pics of it there.
hey mate can u give me some more info on ur light? like brand name and model number n shit.
ive had a look at some hydro shop sites (australian ones) and havnt been able to find anything on them. ill give a few shops a call tomorow and check it out.
im currently using this globe, much diffrence between the 2? lol
im a bit unsure of how diffrent types of lights affect the growth.
cheers
woops forgot to put the link up
i have the 600watt globe second from the top.
misk it sounds like you have a metal halide, good for vegatation. They are kind of fat around in the middle. The new bulb I got is a hortilux eye. Made for comercial growers. http://www.accessdiscounts.us/grow-light-bulbs.html
The 600 is on this page. it's a hortilux eye, SKU-66073. The Son Agro are good too but i have not tried one yet. These are high pressure sodium, just for flowering. Hope you can find one and no worries mate.
No prob, Relic, SomaBlaze's Blackberry. Sounds like I would like it too. Let us know if you find seeds. I will look too. Sorry about the losing a friend.
lol fuk just realised i didnt put the link up for the second time.
its a high pressure sodim globe not metal halide
that hortilux looks very tastey lol
Great some go the whole way on HPS.
