looks like i will be getting the knife out tonight then, could do with a bit of extra room, thing been getting a bit tight in the flower room.

Easy CB.

Well as you now already know, they are male pollen sacks.

But you would of only need to refer to the Bible according to Jorge Cervantes.

It's great having the light so close where your on a mover. It can spread the light, like butter over toasted bread. It litteraly coats the top crowns with lumens. Even more reason to remove lower foliage, as it may well not even absorb light more that 40-50%.

As the grow goes on, so shall it make muito comprendo!!

Light movers are more beneficial when there is only one bulb = more coverage!

I'm off home. Ciao!

Bon Noite!

Peace Tc

is 250w CMH better than 250w HPS? Im planning to grow some badass genetics from 12 12 or max 2 weeks of vege.. looking forward to see ur grow.. take care

I love mine. Bluer than MH, redder than HPS, cooler than either, one lamp, one ballast, no switching ...

For small growers, these things are great.

Oh, and a lovely garden to be sure, Colonel.

Whaziz? Never seen a reflector of this type. Got a closer shot or a link?

 

[colonelbogey]

Hey TC- Doublegum=doubleYum, well chuffed with mover, girls starting to feel the benefit i think. Have removed a lot of the lower foliage,as suggested, more power to the tops.

 

[colonelbogey]

Thanks Freezerboy, Love my CMH bulb, vegged for 5 weeks nd then under the 6ooW HPS.

Clones day 10

Roots showing from bottom of root riot blocks. Potting up to 7 inch pots tonight.






2 weeks of veg for these clones, then going to try perpetual grow with 4 plants harvested every 2 weeks

Root ball from deceased males after 5 weeks veg

Checked out Hortilux on the web (didn't find that exact model) but, would now guess the stuff attached to the reflector is some sort of motor or lamp mover?

Mover is not attached to reflector, that big lump at the back is just part of the leccy supply to the bulb (ballast at other end of black lead).
Have got light mover on rail on the ceiling.

 

[FreezerBoy]

Cool. Looks like something from Star Trek.

 

[colonelbogey]

Might keep the borg away.

 

[Thomas Cherry]

All looking good and green mate.

Staying tuned to the show CB. I need to sort some updates myself regarding grow report etc.... Been well busy sorting out Mother Stock for Godberry.

That 600 watt is from about 2003 (5 years old). So may no longer be available.

Looking good dude keep it rolling.

 

[Thomas Cherry]

Is'nt it just lovely to watch your clones come along. Epecially when your doing a perpeptual grow. As soon as you harvest, you've got the next generation already vegged and waiting to flower. Top Buzz

Peace Tc

 

[colonelbogey]

Thanks for the kind words Suby. trying to get my head around a perpetual grow.
Smoking Double gum doesnt help, i'm sure.

TC- Clones looking good, going to veg for about another 2 weeks, then repot 4 into 15 ltr buckets and switch to the flower room, veg remaining clones for another two weeks and then move another 4 out, and so on....

Sound about right to you?

 

[Thomas Cherry]

Looking fanfuckingtastic chap. The upside to having a pepeprual grow (with your set up especially and your area), you'll be able to place the more mature flowering girls to the side, and the new arrivals in the middle, there by having grow valley. If you know what i mean? The added bonus is as the girls flower, and are moved to the side, the side branches and flowers will benefit from the side lighting, there by increasing the yeild even more so!

But naturally you will need to rotate the girls every day or two. (Some thing i forgot to point out the other day). I used to mark pots North and South with tape, to get an accurate rotation.

Looking forward to seeing the next update.

Peace Tc

Day 61 update

Day 61 update

Main grow DAY 61- day 24 at 12/12. All looking good, buds starting to form and grow nicely on main crop. Been a busy week, had to find room for 15 Godberry clones, kindly donated by a friend. Also repotted 4 (biggest) Ak clones from 2 ltr pots to 15 ltr pots and moved to flower room as the start of a perpetual grow. Other 6 clones are still in veg room along with mums and godberry clones.








Perpetual grow DAY 25- 13 days in veg. 4 AK48s moved out in to flower room 3 days ago under 250W HPS. Have called them KAL ASH NI and KOV.




TC- love the idea of a valley grow. Once the main grow underway is finished, hopefully i can set something like that up.
