Hey people...

I've just wrapped up my last grow of Snow White and have moved on to other strains. I'm currently flowering out a Bubbleicious and have a Hashberry and a Northern Lights x White Rhino.

Here's the veg cab...


Hashberry @ week 10 veg...


NLxWR @ week 14 veg...


Bubbleicious @ 1.5 weeks flower...

mmmm tasty mate, good luck!

 

[Tactik]

looking good panop

Going to be interesting to see some other strains run through that box. Taking a seat

The bubblicious is one fantastic strain for the price. I've grown it 4 times and have grown numerus phenos. All were good. I even had one that didn't show any signs if tricrome production untill week 7, bye week 8 it was finished and frosty. I didn't clone it because I thought it was going to suck. OOPS, BIG MISTAKE

Here's my garden thus far...

Veg cab:

Looking wild and in need of some LST and trimming; if only I had the time. In the next two weeks I'll transplant, trim and train my plants so they'll have a solid month to gear up for flowering. My NLxWR is okay, she is just thirsty. I fed her a few minutes prior to taking the photo, but that isn't nearly long enough for her to perk up. Shame on me, I know...

Hashberry @ week 11 veg...


NLxWR @ week 15 veg...


Bubbleicious @ week 2.5 flower...

She's been really receptive to the training, so I'm hoping I can keep a lower canopy to allow for a larger yield. I still haven't had a chance to get out the the Home De Pot for any sheetmetal, but it is at the top of my To-Do list...

lookin good panop!

do you continue to train into flowering? or is this generally not the case?

saw some of that velcro tape at c tire the other day. i might have to go back and pick some up

 

[HerbGlaze]

Looking good wait you vegged one of them for 14 weeks
Crazy.

 

[panopticist]

It wasn't on purpose. I just didn't have the room to flower more than one or two plants at a time...

I just got a whole lot of clones around the same two-to-three week period and kept them all. I don't have a whole lot of room to flower in, so I just trim, train, and bide my time.

As soon as I have a larger room, that whole 14 week veg period will be a thing of the past...

 

[panopticist]

do you continue to train into flowering? or is this generally not the case?

I continue to train for about two weeks into flower...

Once I start to see actual flowers, like this one, I stop...


At this point I also switch to flowering nutes and let the plant do it's thang...

 

[Sammet]

Alright mate, just tagging this one

 

[Connoisseur300]

how many watts are you using??

 

[panopticist]

I'm running 150w of HPS goodness in my flower cab and 92w of CFLs in my veg cab...
For more info on my setup, check out the Panopticab link in my signature.

are/do you repot them once you put them into flower? dont forget, its all in the rootspace

 

[panopticist]

are/do you repot them once you put them into flower?

Yup...

I start in beercups/tiny pots, then move up to 6" plastic pots to start LST, then up to 8" pots for a month prior to flower. They get moved to 2 gallon buckets for flowering...

 

[HerbGlaze]

Nice strains by the way.. dimensions please =D

 

[panopticist]

The flower cab's outside dimensions are 34.75" tall, 24" wide, and 15.25" deep...

How do you get the bud sites to go so far out to the sides? I know you lst young, but I let my plant grow back up vertically after a few weeks of early lst to bring out bud sites. Could i just put my plant under a screen to get them to stretch out to the sides more? Im planning on doing a scrog, but my stem is way too thick to properly lst, so i think putting it semi-bend over under the screen would do it much better. any info would be great!

Instead of letting them grow back up vertically, just keep LSTing it out to the side...

I continue to LST until the stretch period of flowering is over. I would like to let them get a little taller, but the 150w can only penetrate so deep through a thick canopy.

That's the thing about training, you have to start early for it to be of any real use. A Scrog accomplishes the same thing as LST, just with a screen instead of rope or velcro. I'd think twice about training a mature (thick or wooden) stem as they tend to break rather than bend.
