150w HPS Club and Resource Guide......

[Greasy Glands]

Thanks alot for the kind words man. Despite her less than stellar looks, im quite excited to finish it and sample some. I will keep posting updates here and Ill post a smoke report in the proper forum when its done. Im taking her 90-100 days roughly

 

[OrgAeroMan]

Sounds like it will be some pretty exotic smoke, I look forward to hearing about it

Hey now! She's really starting to stack up, you're going to have some nice long buds. How does she smell?

 

[Greasy Glands]

Savoury Sweet Incense...You can smell the PIff in it...So stoked for this plant!

 

[Greasy Glands]

Day 56 Today. She is smelling absolutely splendid. Piffy Savouryness...Boom Shiva

 

[OrgAeroMan]

Here's side A of the cabinet, 8 plants around the 150, one week apart. The plant closest to harvest is Critical Sensistar x Chuck-99, the one next to it is Pharaoh's Kush. Sorry for the shitty pics, this phone blows. Lol!

 

[Greasy Glands]

Wow...Beautiful Work man! Super chunky for a 150. hows the aromas if you didnt mind sharing? Do you get any burning from that distance away from the light?

 

[OrgAeroMan]

Thanks Greasy! The aroma on that one is fruity fuel, but she is not a keeper. A couple of her sisters grow and smell stronger than her. I might get a bit of light burn if a bud flops closer than 3", but I try to stay on top of the staking. Any fans that reach too far in, I take off. The intake is directly below the lamp and the exhaust is above it (6"inline fan and filter, pulling through both chambers), so it stays pretty decent even mid summer. Maybe 5 degrees above ambient, tops, a bit lower at night.

Niice Set Up. Sounds like a nice profile on the nose. Cool, I was just curious based on my 150 and that i find i get burning if kept close but your set up has better air movement so your able to get closer. Cool Cab Set Up you got dude

 

[OrgAeroMan]

Thanks, man! Going vertical seems to keep the lamp cooler. I've noticed it with my 600 watter too. All of the heat goes straight up instead of being reflected down onto your plants. I have better pics of the cab in my albums on here. It was less than $300 to build, and has payed all my bills ever since

Day 63

 

[OrgAeroMan]

Those are some awesome looking colas, man! They are filling in nicely, how long do they usually run? It looks like she has some time to pack even more on

Thanks alot man! 12-16 Weeks is what the breeders recommend

 

[OrgAeroMan]

Holy cats! You've got far more patience than I, good sir! I'm sure the reward will be that much sweeter when it comes to fruition keep me posted, I think the longest ones I ever did were barely 12. Sadly they didn't even blow my mind. When you do find a keeper pure sativa though, you've got something special that no-one else does! Most of the stuff I run is like 10, and all are hybrids. Some lean toward indica, some toward sativa, but none are pure of either.

You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!
Pretty long time to me.
WOW, a thousand page thread, that''ll keep a fellar busy reading for awhile.
.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but welcome to the future.
I use Quantum Board led lights that pull 150 watts at the wall and they generate much more light and much less heat than a 150 watt hps ever thought about.
I've given away all my old energy hog H.I.D. Lights and am loving life the way these new fangled lights perform.
Again, I do welcome you to the future.
But an old saying does come to mind though,
Smoke em if you got em.

I have made the switch from 150w hps to 100w DIY L.E.D.. Having great results with the new tech, but I sure learned a lot from this thread thanks to all of the 150 watters for all of the help over the years!

 

[Panconqueso]

Long time without posting ... I share some photos of the current grow. I think maybe one more week would be enough.

About the setup, I work with a 40x40x60cms (wxdxh) cabinet with a 150w HPS, passive intake and a 4 inch active extraction.

Nice cabinet and plants, Pan! What strains are you running? My 150w flip-flop cab paid all of my bills and kept me high for over 10 years
