New Bag-seed Grow

[Zoidberg]

Looking good man, they seem to be a bit more advanced than mine at the moment. And under the 1000-watter, I'm sure you'll probably win the race

One question, how do you have your cooltube set up? Is the ducting from the ceiling providing cool air for the room? It doesn't looked like it's hooked up to the cool tube.

The ducting hanging from the ceiling is just attached to an air conditioner duct in the ceiling. Lol, my friend was up there trying to set up the ballast and punched a hole in the ceiling. So instead of it just being shitty luck we decided to add a little more air flow lol. Also, if you look back at my "It's a Girl!" thread in the grow lounge, you can see the little fan we ghetto rigged as an intake fan. Well, now its out outtake fan. We just have one side of the cool tube open, ducting from the other side into the attic, then taped on the back of that shitty 10 dollar fan from wal-mart. It works like a charm, but we will get a bigger fan designed for this later. So far temps haven't climbed above 80, and thats without the exhaust fan for the room we're getting this weekend.

Your plants look a little taller than mine, I think that has something to do with all of mine were stunted for a week with no water. We originally had 28 seedlings.....but yeah, stay tuned, more pics probably thursday or friday. I can't wait for those fucking tops to grow on that one I tied down so I can tie THOSE down.

Just put in another order for 10 white rhino seeds from the doc. Maybe better luck this go around.

I hope I dont ramble too much on your thread... But, what is that zip tie thing you are doing? Is it a double stemmed plant?

At what level are you keeping the light? Is it raised to take pics or is that the permanent location?

Good luck with the grow!

Look back a page at the bottom to get a better look at the zip ties. One at the bottom of the stem as a counter tie, one in the middle and one at the tip holding it down. Low stress training. Also, we're working the light down, we just didn't want to shock them.

Er, I was high when I posted that last reply.

Ramble away. I want input people, this is really still my first grow

But, what is that zip tie thing you are doing? Is it a double stemmed plant?

Its a method of training. I personally like tying down (low stress training) compared to topping. When you top a plant, it takes a week or two to recover and return to full on growth. When you tie a plant down, it never stops growing other than maybe taking 1-2 days to point all its leave back toward the light. Also, tying the plant down makes for a more even canopy, instead of the top part being the only part getting good light, the whole plant gets good light. Just look at the difference in light coverage between the tied plant and the non-tied ones. Check out this badass example of a plant that was LST'd properly inside a rubbermaid container....sea of buds. http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=77007

At what level are you keeping the light? Is it raised to take pics or is that the permanent location?

Right now the light is pretty high up because we just moved them in the room and we don't have the ideal outtake fan pulling air across the light. Even with the light that high up temps get right around 76- 80 degrees at plant level, which is where we want it. Any lower and it gets hot. Should have a rediculous fan soon, then the light will be much closer.

Those plants are looking nice
keep those pictures coming

Man i cant wait to see the buds on these babys good work.

[Garden Knowm]

cheers

Its lower now, but still pretty far away. We don't have the proper exhaust fan for that light yet, the one we have on it works pretty well but I'd rather risk a little less light than 5 burned plants til we get it fixed. It is a little lower than it was in those pics, we had just finished hanging it and transplanting, hadn't adjusted it yet. Fuckin white rhino seeds need to hurry up and get here.

Should we just start flowering the ones we have and start the rhinos in that old CFL room or keep tying down the old ones til we have giant fucking shrubs and decent sized rhinos?
