Two Trainwreck's 400w HPS, LST, Closet Grow

Lookin' saucey man! Really pretty colors. I hope you yield more than that, but you may be able to stretch yours farther than I would. 88 grams lasted me all of 2 months LOl, but I did eat alot of it too. Gave some away, smoked alot, ah, the good ol' days. No matter the yeild no one can take away the fact that you made it. That's worth it's weight in gold! Not to mention the fact that you can do it again, and again....
Nice work!

Thanks Kush! I'm lucky/unlucky in the fact that I don't have any friends here where I live... so only about 5 grams got smoked by someone else last time :jointsmile:

But this time I think a friend of mine from the states is coming here, and he smokes like a fucking chimney :bigsmoke: But I learned last time that even veteran smokers can only smoke so much of the TW...

Thank you ST0N3Rmike!

It's been almost 7 weeks of flowering today, so I flushed very thoroughly, somewhere between 2-3x the size of my containers. I'm hoping to harvest in about a week or two, depending on how they look. I might chop one of them in a week, and the other one the following week.

One of them is looking very nice still, a little nute burn on it's tips but nothing to worry about. The other one, frankly, looks like ass... some leaves are turning red, and so are some of the stems. I'm guessing more severe nute burn in combination with the other problems it's been having. It's about 80% the size of the healthier one, so I'm losing some yield but I'm not going to cry about it. I've learned that no matter how similarly you treat two plants, they can have very different needs. Hopefully if this comes up again, I will know how to deal with it early on.

Took a bunch of pics today also :jointsmile:

Here's more... You can see the red stems and leaves in the first pic. Next ones you can compare between the healthy and nute burnt nugs...

Some more pics, just some of the bigger buds :jointsmile:

Well, they are colorful! I am sure they will be great nonetheless! So that's weird that 1 of them did that and one didn't? What gives? Any theories? It'll be interesting to compare the yield and smoke reports between the 2. I mean for you to compare LOL! So happy to see you almost done! Good for you! And even if the 1 doesn't smoke as well as you would like, there's always hash! Or eating it!

You should try to re-veg your best plant and veg it back out, cut clones, and do it again!:jointsmile:

Just some pics I found on the internet.:thumbsup:

Thanks Dive :jointsmile:

And very nice looking girls you have...ahem, found there Kush! :greenthumb: Looks like you...ahem they will have a very chill summer :smokin:

My theory for the problems with the one: too much water/nutes too often. I think it didn't drain as well as the other, combined with all the nutes I was putting in. Couldn't get a good ph reading either with my shitty dropper tests, so I can't rule that out either... Temps were a little on the high side, but within range, so that could be something also.

I would love to re-veg the good one, but I'm going to be on a hiatus from growing for a while Gotta move out in June, and I am trying to find an internship position in Amsterdam for the fall, so I might try to grow something while I'm there, if I'm not too baked :stoned:

I'm already making plans for my next grow, wherever and whenever it will be. I'm going to buy a lot of perlite once I find it (might have to order it from a store here in Southern Finland), get another inline fan so I can cool my cooltube separately, get a good ph pen, and build a bigger grow area (thinking 1m x 1m x 2m) to get better use of my hps. Also been thinking about a DWC setup, but the initial costs for supplies, nutes and meters is a little discouraging.

Happy growing everyone

good luck! shit! sounds like a good summer for you!

dwc looks cool,tried it once. it's easy to build bubble bukets, but failed in the execution. used hydroton, did not rinse it, could not get or keep the ph in range. also did not use a recirculating rez, which I know now likely the better way to go w/ that. those are the 2 issues I will correct if I ever try it again. if you could find perlite, you could try hempy buckets for hydro or lots of folks go the coco route too. forr sure want a good pen for ph and ec. good luck on the dark side!

[bigtopsfinn]

Funny you mention the coco... been reading up on that a lot today Sounds like something to experiment with. Thought about using plain coco in one, and coco/soil mix in another, and see which one I like more... not really diggin' the soil route ATM :jointsmile:
