New and Improved: Featuring Sour Northern Lights x Nevilles Haze

Try a hose-clamp to get a better attachment between ducting and fixtures. Assembled correctly and secured at both ends, you can get it snug enough even to serve as backup in case one of the hangers fails.

well hashi, i'm going to guess you either don't have a camera or you rather explain in words the whole grow and leave visuals to the imagination lol. i can manage but it'd be nice to see these ladies and the setup. are pics a possibility?

dealing with the heat situation was a big one with us as well. When I bought that 1kw light my hydro guy warned me about the heat but I blew it off......only to discover the hard way that you HAVE to deal with it one way or another. I remember at one point we had the central air running AND a window ac all going on at the same time just to keep the room at a decent temp. Going to a cool tube and white paint vs mylar solved the issue for us.

Love to see a photo of the setup when you can.

I actually took photos but I can't find my media card reader to pull the images off my camera.. heh

I'll post pictures up when I can.

1 of my plants are clawed from not transplanting soon enough and you'll notice some small clawing going on with 1-2 of the other plants. beyond that they all look gorgeous (some spottingon the leaves where I might have spilled some nutrient solution on it and the light burned it).

I may have to begin flowering with my 400 watt light. I don't have the budget at the moment for a 600 watt light.

Also I've been giving some further thought to the situation and I don't think I'll have a dedicated veg area. I think I'll setup a CFL array (I still have a shit ton of CFL's left from my last grow) for my mothers and to veg new mothers. From there after they've rooted some I'll probably just dump them in 1 gallon pots and put them in the flower room.

I'm going to be going for SOG style as best as I can with multiple strains. The room is 4.5' x 4.5x.. I figure I can fit between 20 - 24 rooted clones in 1 gallon pots at a time (24 being the absolute max and 20 being a more realistic max.) however to do this I will absolutely need a 600 watt light.. or maybe even a 1000 watt light.

Where I live heat is an issue (gets hot here in the summer.). I will probably get 1 600 watt hps and setup a second 600 watt hps if I determine I need it.

Well I'm sure if you looked through the log you would see I do have some pictures up, and you would see I've been in the process of moving; so taking pictures, or finding my equipment to pull images off my camera are not super high on my agenda at the moment.

Thanks for stopping by.

oh yeah.. let's not forget I went through that massive hurricane. Maybe you heard about it.. Hurricane ike :wtf:

transplanted my to be mother plant into a 1 gallon pot and another plant into a 2 gallon pot.

I am going to initiate flowering tomorrow and will probably suck it up and purchase a 600 watt HPS. I'm hoping to get about 2-3 oz per plant. Tomorrow I also have to pick up a few large appliances and some things from my old apartment including a crap load of CFL's which I will use to set up my CFL array for my mothering plants. I'm thinking about 200-250 watts worth MAX.. that will be for 4 mothering plants in 1 gallon pots; which should provide plenty of light and allow me to keep it relatively cool easily..

I hope by the time this harvest is complete I will have 24 clones ready to put into fowering again (6 cuttings from each strain.. I plan on running 4 strains). I say 24 because I plan on picking the strongest clones and keeping only about 16 plants.

I hope to find my media card reader so I can show everyone some pics.

bought a hydrofarm xtrasun 600 watt HPS ballast and 600 watt Eye Hortilux bulb.

In addition to this I purchased some dutchmaster reverse and penetrator.

More updates to come and hopefully some pics. :thumbsup:

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

Pictures will be coming tonight at 9pm when the lights come back on. Lights are on from 9pm to 9am. In the mean time though I can go snap a picture of the mother I picked out.

I think I'll do that now. It's been about a month since I've been able to give anyone any pics.

I'm probably going to fim her soon.

Stay tuned in the next hour for pics of the mother plant.

[daihashi]

Batteries are dead. I'll have some more by tonight when lights come on for the flowering plants.:thumbsup:
