Now that is doing the damn thang! Those were some damn fine plants, nice big bang results. I might have to try that light combo. worked out nice from my angle!:thumbsup:

thanks frosted...I can say for sure that the "boosted spectrum"(talkin outta my ass here) definitely added aromas, and colors(the purple in particular)...cant explain why...read about it in a DJ Short book...I'm trying to scrap funds(X-mas is killing me) for a 400w digital mh ballast to replace the 250, I ended up with 2 healthy church seedlings...2 didnt sprout...2 sprouted but were lagging(so I X'ed em) I'll have pics tomorrow of the 2 baby sprouts...seeds take forever

So you say perpetual harvest?...after you harvest those beasts do you start the veg cycle all over again?

How did you get your plants to stay so skinny but tall. Is that just the strain you were growing or was the the LST technique. Nice grow by the way.

The last harvest(the Big Bang) was the end of a perpetual grow I had with that strain, and Barney's Farm Nightshade.About a year of that...got old.Right now I'm just trying different strains, collecting clones for possible moms.Lol...just basically tryin to get my shit together again.I've never scrogged before, I'd imagine you could re-veg a strain like DJ Shorts Flo.But I'd imagine you'd need a strain that produces bumper crops consistently.We'll all find out together, how this strain pans out.

Thanks brother, I think they went all tall and straight is because I had too many plants crammed in a 4x4 tent with just 650 watts goin.Thats why I've been a good boy, saved up, and next week I'll be upgrading to a 1000w hps...I need some decent pulls here-650w is OK-but, I grew with a 1000w hps for 3 cycles about 5 years ago-and nothing has come even close since.I'll SOG again after this, but with 1000w of hortilux hps lighting up a 4x4 grid. UPDATE- well...the front plant was a male, from a f-in pack of fem seeds no less.It all happened yesterday-clear cut case of mistaken identity, besides, I've never got a rooster from a pack of fems before-greenhouse But it works out-I didnt realize how crowded the big girl(well...the only girl) was on the screen.She took right away, to the extra space

th scrog is at day 10 of flower+ I have some other flowering tents(dont get excited...they're small) set up because I ended up with over 40 clones(from the female) I just threw together everything from my boneyard, and went to town- another 700 watts between 2 tents
