Good job, Dime. Lovin' the micro revolution we've got going on around here. There are a lot more people who can handle a micro than can handle a 10k op. And we're showing them the way.

For sure brother. Theres alot of info out there that people swear by in the large grow world, that just doesnt apply to these tiny, self-supplying grows. So by being merely UNinformed, theres alot of people giving out MISinformed information...hah, hope that makes sense.

What Im getting at is that despite what 80% of the growers on this forum (outside of the microgrow section, of course), these micro grows, even in a hydro setup, IS NOT DIFFICULT.

You CAN easily control hydro PH in 1 gallon containers with the right buffering nutes. You CAN easily control the heat of an HPS in an area less than 2' tall. You CAN net a dry ounce of top quality ganj every 2-3 weeks with only 18" of vertical height.

Most growers would say my cab was setup for a disaster, but you just dont know until you try. Im glad I did :tiphat:

great harvest man! i'de like to see some side by sides aswell! it would be great if we knew for sure if all these little tricks help our plants :p

Itd be a great test, but alas, Im not the one to do it. My apatite for variety and perpetual setup would not allow it. Id love to see someone try though!

Just a few pics.

The GWS really stood up to its name this run. Still not a big yielder, but the white is definitely there

Trainwreck, just started flushing. Will look to harvest late next week I suppose.

I gave what I suspect to be her last round of nutes. She matured so fast Im not sure where I should be in the nute schedule, hah. So Im gonna keep her around and probably start her flush about the time I chop the TW. I will be starting another c99xdc as soon as the TW is chopped as well.

Satori is back in stock on seedboutique! I think I might try to make room for Satori and how about some Blue Satellite 2.2?

Maybe someone whos been watching this can give me a hand.

If you can see from my pics, my trainwreck grew alot of large, single fanned leaves. It was also riddled with 2, 3, and 4 fanned leaves. I wrote it off as being a genetic issue.

Well, my SSSDHxG13is now doing the same thing. A good many single and 3 fanned leaves, as well as asymmetric leaves.

Im also concerned about so many of my leaves curing up lengthwise (like a hot dog bun), which is pretty apparent in my pics.

My plants and buds dont seem to be truly affected, but who knows. Does it sound like a heat issue? I havent had a thermometer in my cab since I got the temps under control, but will probably put it in there if I remember when the lights come on.

Just a few pics. Heres my father cab. Still needs a little work obviously, but should be running by tomorrow. Oh yea, and if I can get some root showing soon, I'll be entering my Solo cup "DWC"s in the the 16oz cup competion around here. Should be a challenge, but fun nonetheless!

Hah, thanks for stopping back again brother. Yea, the initial CFLS just werent worth it. The HPS was simple to cool after I finally found a tube for it, which took longer than building the whole damn cab, hah!

Havent had a C99xDC harvest yet, but it should be long. If she smokes half as good as she looks, Im in for a real treat. It should be only a few weeks before she gets chopped and sample, so check back often man. I had some seed trouble with the strain, but lucked out with my last seed being the fine lady you see in the thread.

Skip the first few pages of me BSing around and check out harvest pics from the TW and GWS. Im loving the setup man, plain and simple

C99xDC is going great, strong odor, between a sweet skunk and you can catch hints of coffee or chocolate maybe. Fat, chunky, trich covered buds. Started flush tonight.

Trainwreck harvest was again very airy, lots of stems and a pain to trim. I took off loads of smaller stems and buds, if you can call them that. They look great close up tho, load and load of trich. Pics dont show it well, but the buds look almost silver

Heres some proof that a 150w can make better buds than those grassy, airy Trainwreck buds.

Heres my C99xDC harvest. All the buds are fat and dense, and there is little popcorn to speak of. Dark, skunky, almost coffee scent. I quick dried one of the few smaller buds for an impatient sample. It was still smooth, sweet and dense. I'll wait for a cure to put up a more honest smoke report. Im very happy with this harvest and cant wait to get these babies in jars for a few weeks.

Love them :D I actually loved the Trainwreck buds but missed to comment on them somehow :( They look like it was hard work :)
