HP Stadium

[Surfnfisher]

I treid a version of the NF stadium and it didnt work for me. Here is why,
I did not listen to what I was reading. The flowering plants need to be small. Mine were too big and suffered form lack of light. I would bud them small and turn them weekly. Just like NF. Dont use a stretchy strain, Or use Bushmaster or whiskey or something to limit stretch. Mine stretched and yeild was compramised. Trim to only have a main cola or two. I vegged in a stadium and it created the best bushes ever. So when I flipped there was just too much plant. Stadium veg to flat garden for big bushy plants works great. Otherwise trim them back. 1 gallon is not alot of room,the buds on either side will shade each other if the plant gets too big. Its working better for me now but there was a learnig curve that could have been avoided if I would have followed leader better.
Have fun.

Letting them grow too big is the most common mistake people have made after I have set them up one of these. People don't believe how much a 10" plant can get away on them when there is this kind of overlapped light so close.

I still make the same mistake myself sometimes. It's a fine line between too small and too tall.

If you are using mixed strains it is very easy to have a jungle because as you wait for one strain to get tall enough one gets too ahead or you get one that is a super stretcher after flipping.

I hope it works out for you. I'm even trying different ideas as we speak. Each house has it's own set of limitations so not all my stadiums are designed with the same logic.

Props to a popular BC style, done right down to the letter! I've seen this setup many times before in our area, and so many swear by it... this and promix bags slapped down on pallets :smile:

BC is the home of KISS growing!

Growing Kush has forced me into redesigning my rooms. I was running into a few problems.

Some of my changes are actually some of the old ideas we use to use.





7 1/2 weeks, most ly Kushes.

Here's an AK47 off one of the second shelves.

Damn my man Nf. So good to have you live. copyed your style as best I could and love it. Had a big problem with leo on my first run and lost everything, lights, shelves , and of course the plants. Back doing what I love now and have way to many strains to be affective but looking for the right ones to keep for mothers and have 3 that I think will work good, sour bubble, tres dawg x green crack, and gangi kush. what changes did you do to run your kushes?

Stadium FTW! Just finished setting mine up. Thanks for all the inspiration Nothern Farmer!
