Whew, 1k light = hot. Temps got as high as 88 degrees. I did some playing around and was able to get it down to 79 degrees, by leaving half a flap of the hut open with a box fan pushing cool air into the hut, and with the 4" centrifugal fan disconnected from the carbon filter. Not exactly ideal! So I need a 6" 440ish CFM fan. But the budget doesn't allow for that at the moment, so I'm just gonna have to make do for now. I could swap the 6" fan in my wood flower cabinet with this 4" one, but everything is working so well with the wood cabinet that I just don't want to mess with that setup.

Big Mama got a little droopy from the heat before I got it more or less under control, and she just kinda expanded all over the place with all that available space, so I tied her up a bit and fed her. She should perk up by lights on time tonight. Buds appearing all over the place.

Oh, size. Well, I don't really know how big she was when I transplanted her (and a week after that I began flowering). I'd say she's doubled in overall size though, maybe even triple if you count volume rather than just height. Height, counting 10" for the pot, was around 48" at day 9 of flowering, then she grew probably another foot since then (the pic is day 19). But the taller stalks are bent into S's. I'd guess she'd be around 5 feet tall if I hadn't made S's of the main stalks, NOT counting the pot.

Have no clue what to expect on yield; this is the first 1k light I've ever used, and first predominantly Sativa strain I've ever grown too. I'll hope for the best, of course, but I'll be happy with whatever happens. How can I complain when I get a nice learning experience AND some buds?
jamstigator Reviewed by jamstigator on . Jamstigator versus Big Mama! I got some freebie seeds in 2005, Durban Poison x Skunk #1. Well, I tried to germinate them in April 2006, all ten of them, but only one sprouted. (I guess they're free for a reason.) It's a Sativa-dominant strain, and I'm kinda height-constrained, so I almost killed this plant a number of times, but couldn't bring myself to do it, so it vegged for nigh six months in a 1/2 gallon pot. It got rootbound and droopy, but kinda big even so. I FIM'd it, got three main stalks, and pruned for yield a Rating: 5
