I really like this grow. It's great how it stealthy it is. It blends into your room. And I like how you made it work. You are growing in a small space and they look great. That is an accomplishment. They usually say micro grows with a HID is for an advanced grower...
Enough stroking. Lol. Do you use a conversion bulb or have two differnt ballasts? A switchable perhaps?
How's the yield from that thing?
Have you attempted or will you attempt any other strain than Lowryder?
Heya doobie (my fellow pond dewling friend) thanks for the words
Yoho Art - hows it going? The ballast is the same there are 2 different bulbs but the ballast can take both 250watt HPS and MH.
This is my first grow with the box and you shall have to stay tuned to find out the yield (like me).
Hahaha there are only 2 Lowryders in the box ontop of the scrog at the right hand side in little pots they were left over seed. The whole cannopy is made of BC Bud Depot - The Purps (2 of them) and Dutch Passion - Original Blueberry (3 of them).
Heres some pics 2 weeks or so before harvest
This is one of the lowryders (since they arent connected to the scrog I can bring it out an give it a good nute feed)
Hey guys dam gallery was serving up alota trouble but I think we're ok now
Here some shots of the chest when coming close to the impending harvest. I also clipped all the fan leaves (most of them anyway) so that more light could ripen the rest of the plant.
Heres front on
Underneath
The other small computer fan at the left hand side of the chest underneath the cannopy
Another full on view (oh yes you can see only 1 lowryder there at the right hand side of the pic as the others been harvested mmmm Grapefruit and orange)
The stocky blueberry in the right hand corner
The purps at the left hand side
An overview of the green pheno purps and abit of the purple purps (confusing no?)
And a wee gander at my cooltube home to the 250HPS bulb
Guys sorry for the pictures as I dont have a professional camera but shall get some nice bud shots thanks to my friend once harvest and drying has been completed
Hey guys I've harvested them an heres the results. I took me forever thank god I had some blue gloves.
Im really sorry for these pictures as when I click them in my new album they are this size and dont know how to reduce the size. but if you open them individually in firefox and explorer then they shall fit the page and be alot better.
Its been a while - and the harvest has been curing for a long time now
Time for a Smoke Report
The Purps
Taste/Smell - It has a vanilla/coffee sweetness to it
High - Very strong uplifting cerebral high (had to go outside several times to "calm" myself down but lets not dewl on that haha)
Overall 9/10
Lowryder
Taste/Smell - Fanta orange and citrusy
High - Stoney, not that heavey, quite light but good before going somewhere
Overall 6/10
Blueberry
Taste/Smell - Forest fruits with a pungent citrus twang (not quite blueberries yet tastey none the less.)
High - Its the equivalent to poitín its that stong uplifting high at first yet if you smoke some more it becomes a body lock (the phrase "Goodnight Vienna" would go well with it)
Overall 8/10
And thats may smoke report I strongly recomend getting some Purps for yourselves trust me you'll enjoy it.
