My 150w HPS cab.

[BongHitBoy420]

Day 37 flower... and shes really starting to call to me. I wanna smoke some of her so bad. I'mma be a good lil BHB and wait. :stoned:

[ToKnoIsToGro]

Hey BHB420, you mean to tell me you grew those fine specimens using only about 90W of cfl for veg and 150Whps for flower?
What was your yield? I bet you already harvested huh?

[stone eng]

Great looking, especially for only 10" pots! Nice.

P.S. No harm in a small sample, I call it "quality control"

Yep. This is what im telling you. Ive gotten away with 60w cfl's for veg in a prior grow too Ive noticed, its the increase from veg to flower that the plant really responds to most (ive also tried veg w/ the hps and the plant grew faster for veg, bud production seemed lower keeping the same 150 throughout). As far as yeild... I dont weigh but im a damn good eyeballer. I dont weigh cuz lets just say worse possible scenario happens... its all personal "I dont even know what the weight is" and theres no sign of intent to sell :smokin: Id say aprox 2-3oz which solely personal - lasts grow to grow plus a lil. Its usually rather potent... and seems to get more so each grow. 3 oz at a bowl... maybe two a sitting (which is all ya ever really need to be very high indeed) im set It works for what I need it for. Cheep -- quality bud for me to smoke and enjoy without the risk of 3rd party involvement or relying on someone :thumbsup:

oh... and no i havnt harvested yet. im waiting for her to go sinsemillia and fatten and sticky up more.

Thanks man I find the trick --- for me --- is all in the root ball. Get the roots to form a nice ball in the pot, then move a lil bigger to fill that up w/ another root ball in a root ball -- then transplant. Keep smaller pot sizes this way and still maxamize root growth!

And yeah, ive clipped lower popcown buds for sinsemillia condition so only the tops fatten and sticky up. No point is wasting the plants energy on crap. Clippin's are very nice indeed. Quick dried buds (envelope in the car in the sun method) burn even and taste sweet. Energetic high. Makes me feel like im in a video game... if that makes any sense :stoned:

what is SINSEMILLIA?

[crucial conflict]

i have a quistion which light would hps light would be better for a small closet 150 hps or 400 hps i want the 400 but cant the closet catch on fire if i use that and how close can the light be to the wall

what is SINSEMILLIA?

This is taken from The Cannabis grow bible: the definative guide to growing marijuana for recreational and medical use by Greg Green and compliled with additional blurbs from growers and members of overgrow, grasscity, cannabis.com, etc.

Sinsemillia
condition 13
The female plant will produce seeds at this point is she has recieved viable pollen from a male plant. The seeds grow within the female bud and can take anywhere between 2 and 16 weeks to grow to full maturity. The female pistils may change color before finally busting the seedpods, sending them to the soil below. Breeders like to collect seeds before the seedpods burst. If, during the the flowering stage, there are no males present to pollinate the female plants, the buds will grow larger and develop more resin glands. Resin may drop down on to teh leaves making the plant very sticky. The pistils on the buds will begin to thicken and cluster into balls. The reason for the high increase in bud growth is that the female plant is trying her best to attract male pollen. This is the Sinsemillia condition.

growing 110
The male plant produces pollen sacks, which, when ripe, burst and scatter pollen to the female plants. The female plant produces white hairs at the internodes and top cola (head) of the plant during flowering. These hairs (pistils) begin to curl and slightly grow longer and thicker. The top cola should carry the most pistils. These pistils are sticky to the touch (don't touch them too much as they also contain the shought-after THC), and become covered in resin during the flowering period. The reason for their stickiness is that the pistils are used by the female to catch falling pollen. If the female isn't pollinated she'll try to grow more sticky areas. Hence the result of a sinsemillia crop... bigger and better buds.

hermaphrodites 171
It is not uncommon for some strains to generate a few hermaphrodites in the final weeks of flowering. This is quite a familiar condition with sinsemillia crops as some plants, in a last ditch effort to continue their line via seed, will generate a few male flowers to try to self pollinate. In most cases the pollen produces is not viable, but as a precaution you can clip them away. Simply check your sinsemillia for small yellow banana shapes in the bud during the final weeks of flowering and clip them away.

plant 7-8
A non-pollinated female (sinsemillia) plant will produce more flowering buds and more quantities of THC than the male plant or seeded female plant. The buds produce resin, which contains THC and can drop down onto the leaves. When fully mature, it should produce a very pleasing high, depeinding on teh grow method, the strain, and time of harvest. It should be the goal of every cannabis cultivator to grow non-pollinated female plants because those also produce the best yeild.


Theres a ton more info. I'm just stoned and had nothing better to do at the moment than retype all that. lol

[Garden Knowm]

You chopped down your plant??????

ummmm.. I think there may have been a different approach.. hat could have.. ummm

well...

ummm..

you chopped you plant??????

iloveyou

did you make clones....?

THANKS for all the Pictures

KNOWM loves pictures..

don't you ever cut down a plant again!!!!!!

iloveyou

[BongHitBoy420]

No way garden. I had two plants originally. One did get cut. But my babys still flowering away and no joke getting fatter and fatter every day. Thanks though for the post!! I think growing and taking the pics of my plant(S) are more addictive than the herb itself is.

Im too lazy to go take a pic and all right now, but I assure you SHES STILL GROWING STRONG!
