Our Continuous Harvest...more bud every 10 days!

[harris7]

yup, crissy do you think we should use a Cal/mag if we arn' seeing any cal or mag problems?

[Chronic Chrissy]

I would even just at half doses, apparently they really need it, my Afghanis rarely showed def signs but really picked up after getting it. I'm just buying a few new products every few months and following their nute calculator.

we harvested Mud Bud two days ago, no pics tho cause it was done quickly and hastily sorry we got 21 grams off her, so close to the yield of our previous girls. the next plants to be chopped are champagne and dutch treat, both showing a few amber trichs so last feeding will be tonight, with a flush to come in the next few days. champagne is looking nice and fat, and dutch treat is sooooo frosty! the top leaves are white with trichomes!! will take pics soon, but internet has been down so we'll see how it goes

Soooo, I somewhat feel like weâ??ve been misleading you.
We havenâ??t been having a harvest every 10 days, gosh were is our creditability

This is because weâ??ve been in a lil dry spell and in the next twenty days (till 4/20)
Weâ??ll be harvesting 5 plants. Or at least thatâ??s what my schedule is telling me

We chopped the last plant who had a lot of stress, it wasnâ??t too impressive. Dutch mentioned it. So here are some pics of the up and coming harvests.

Iâ??m very happy with them, they each have their qualities.

1â??This is the Muti plant pot, which was a very successful experiment (champagne)
2,3-- I call her frosty (dutch treat)
4,5â??(Mud) It is only on week 6.5! and has already produced the biggest bud yet

So heres a good story,

yesterday dutch was feeding the plants and, click. the MH turns off So she unplugs it, allows a few min for the cooling cycle, then plugs it back in and it begins turning on. (poor story so far)

when she came home from work, light was off again. so i fiddled around with it, and nothing.

luckly i'm holding my buds 400W mh ballast, so i switched up the ballasts.
and still nothing (good, our ballast is fine)

so we assumed it was a burnt out bulb.
got a new bulb.

still nothing...

after this long process of elemination that left only the wiring between the ballast and the bulb.

took all that apart and found one of the wires had melted and caught fire.
somewhat concerning.

But we invested in all that saftey stuff and it all worked and no problems

any ideas how the wire could carry enough current to melt?

heres a pic

power surge. do all of your lights come on at the same time? if so, you may want to consider staggering them by five minutes, to allow the amperage to level out...

other than that, i don't know...

[harris7]

no our lights come on 6 hours apart.
And we've only got two 400Wers

but we dont really know when it happend as dutch was at work.

what else could cause a surge, could our ballast be F'ed?

should i not worry about it?

[Scarlet Sky]

the only other possibility i see is that the wire connection may have been loose, and cause an arc/spark, that fried the wire. when you rewire, make sure those suckers are permanently secure...
