1200 watts of Khaleel In Your Eye

khaleel

Howdy friends! :wave: Yer ol buddy Khaleel is steppin it up. Just secured a second 600 hps system - borrowed a bulb and ballast from a friend, bought the reflector - and things are going strong.

I've been on ICMag for about a year and a half. got my medical card after getting a discharge from the army. some basic training injuries and a motorcycle wreck. so instead of popping vicodin all day every day, here i am.

i spent the first year on icmag using florescents and T5's. 200 watt compact cfl in veg, 4 T5's in bloom. then took hiatus for a few months, now i'm back at it. just finished my first run with the 600 hps, a Viper x Trainwreck cross, original strains both Reeferman

now i'll be running two 600 hps lights in bloom

there's a 6 inch inline blower in each of the lights. the ac fan works as the intake. a "co2 boost" bucket is hooked up to run when the lights are on.

I will be using a half soil, half coco mix, with another 30% or so Miracle Grow perlite, a dose of lime, wormcastings for veg, and bag/seabird guano for bloom. water is taken from the tap through a brita filter, and oxygenated (sits in a bucket with a water pump going) for a day or two before use.

liquid nutes will be age old veg/bloom respectively, i might try the compost tea, not sure yet. and of course, a tablespoon of molasses per gallon, all the way through. :yes:

and on to the stars of the show:

the four big girls in the back:

Government Mule - Cannacopia

The US Government’s own legendary G13 indica, via the University of Mississippi’s cannabis research farm. Legend has it that a cutting from the strongest plant from the U Miss pot farm was smuggled out by a pot friendly lab technician, and shared amongst a clandestine group of growers who cultivated her for the overwhelming narcotic stone. This cutting is known as PG13 or pacific G13- named after the grower ‘pacific’ who shared her with the world- and she is cherished highly for her excellent yield of dense, resin caked nuggets. We crossed G13 to the Deep Chunk indica and the resulting plants are mostly indica in stature, and produce an ample supply of high quality medicinal herb.


and, the 9 smaller kiddos in front:

Moon Shadow - Joey Weed

This is a unique blend of Chemo and Cinderella99. The mom was Chemo/whiterhino and the father was C99. The idea behind this cross was to harness the power of C99 and to give it some new taste and body. I also wanted to increace the yield on it and produce bigger buds. Chemo is a great yielder and has a super couchlock high. It was used by chemotherapy patients for years which is where the name came from. C99 needs no introduction and has been widely grown. A few people were put off by the intense anxiety producing high it gives. I figured that by blending C99 with the chemo that would add enough body stone so that people would be able to enjoy the haze like high from the C99 without getting anxiety. Moon Shadow is a good yielder that finishes in 8 weeks.


and for those of you who are quick, the remaining girl is a bit of a mystery. i found the seed in my cabinet. which means i kept it for a reason, just not sure what strain she be. :D


ok everyone, that's it for now. more pics to come, let's get settled in for a good show!! :woohoo: lol

Hey Khaleel! Like your work alot!

Got a suggestion tho. Don't you think it would be better to turn one of the lights around 180 degrees so you can use a shorter pipe with less turns on it to connect them? Should improve airflow quite a bit?

Hope that makes sense... I'll try again if it doesn't.

Good luck man!

khaleel

wow, thanks for the great replies everyone!! :woohoo:

che: welcome aboard!

sirsmokes: um, let's just say my MOS was in the 90's :smoke: (hey isn't "always out front" someone else's motto, i.e. M.I.? :noway:) hehe anyway, great to have you aboard, hope you enjoy the show :yes:

core: hey glad you came back to make sure there was a post - good to see ya here, i'll do my best to make it a good show.

unta: thanks my friend. just trying to make sure I have enough around, and can help out my other med friend peeps if there's extra. :canabis: I like to do what I do, so might as well help out.

brother bear: hey buddy! :wave: welcome aboard, should be fun!

Dödsknark: hmm, good suggestion. but right now things are pretty tight up on top the box, and turning at this point is not an option. besides, we're only talking about a few feet of length total, so an extra bend won't make much noticable difference (guess I may be wrong on that :confused:) thanks for the great post though, hope to see ya stick around!

jamieshoes: thank mate, oh i don't really keep track... ;) hehe less than an ounce a plant, i guess. i don't take 'em very big in veg before flipping.

brotha T!!!! hahaha i knew you'd be here pretty quick. :D here we go, i can't wait to taste this gov mule. only a month or so left.

profsublime: hey, welcome aboard monsieur :joint: enjoy the ride, Your honor

sammet: hells yeah!!! can't wait, this one's for you brotha :canabis: make sure you post some of those amazing pics up here once awhile

johnipedestran: ha i still think its a good line. thanks for the post, i already love the HPS...


ok everyone, gotta eat some grub, then i'll get pics of the girls up.

Actually "Out Front" was our unit motto in 4/7 CAV in Korea near the DMZ.... Our motto was Scouts lead the way!

As for the M.I.'s motto, wasn't it military intelligence is an oxymoron? Haha, j/k Hope your grow goes well!

Don't forget man...

If it ain't broken, fix it until it is!

No point in messing with things if your system is running smoothly.

I'll be here for the entire show, for sure.

no worries on the numbers mate... was really just curious to know if/what kind of improvement you saw switching to the 600 :smile:

khaleel

jamieshoes: hahaha i just read the quote in your sign. nice. and most definitely would suggest switching to hps. difference i saw was about 4 or 5 times in favor of hps. :yes:

dodsknark: right on brother. actually, the more it rolled around in my head today, the more i decided what the hell. i switched it around. should be some pics here in a minute. it lowered the temps about 5 degrees, so it was worth it! thanks for the suggestion my friend, enjoy the show :D

meltingpot: thank you sir, glad to have you aboard! :canabis:

ok, i have some pics... oh shit gotta do a different reply for that
