How's the grow coming along? Any updates?
D80 SCROG
- Thread starter tequila_sunrise
- Start date
Scrog is lookin pretty good bud.
An HPS would definitely help you get some bigger fatter denser buds. I think a 400w HPS is as big as you would want to go in a cab that size but thats just my opinion. A 250 is probably sufficent and would be easier to cool.
I only have a 150w HPS cab with 2 sq ft of space right now but am upgrading to 600w HPS aircooled in a Homebox L (equivalent to a DR100 or any of the 100 series tents just means it is 100cm square or 1 meter square. Should be real nice with alot more space and power to work with.
Anyways good luck with the rest of your grow! Keep us updated!

Very nice tequila! I'm rockin a 250hps in my dr80. I've got some bubba kush x deep chunk and a local strain that is (arcata trainwreck x blueberry) x flo that is LST'd. Looking forward to the rest of your grow.
Hell ya man those buds are looking nice! When do you harvest?
Also, how do you have your fan hooked up? I got mine clipped to the metal pole supports but it can't oscilate while the door is closed.
Tonight I will post Pics. The buds are coming along great. The Trichs are starting to develop now too! Once my girlfriend comes back with her camera, I will get some decent shots.
I have heard the dark-street models that light shines through the sides. My DR is completely lightproof. Every exhaust port has two socks with drawstrings that way you get double the light protection.
I got mine at a local Discount Hydroponics (which also makes CAP products) you can get them online too. IDK how much it would be for your shipping though.
Honestly I am thinking of moving up to the DR150 which is 150cm x 150cm x 200cm (5' x 5'x 6'6") then making my DR80 into my veg / mom room.
edit: forgot about the drainage. The pots I bought have little trays they sit on. I just water them once wth 1 cup evenly. wait a few min then water them. I try not to go over 3/4 gallon on the plants.
Funny that my friend wants me to throw a 1000w in there!!!! His motto is more lights, more buds lol.
I was going to get a 400w HPS but money was tight. Really I made a dumb mistake because the 400w w/ ballst and reflector would have been about $50 / $100 more... Next time!
BUT if I get that DR150 I will throw a 600 / 1000w in there and really get cooking! the only thing I am worried about with 1000w is don't you need like 4' inbetween the light and the plants? My CFLs can just about touch the plants and they don't burn it. The plants LOVE it!

I wouldn't worry about having CFLs instead of HPS - check my grow the buds that grow below the net get their light form CFLs and they look denser the those above growing with 400W hps

OK! So here it is the start of week 3 of flowering 
By my guess it will probably take another 6 or more weeks to finish up.
I am almost thinking of taking a lower clone and sticking it outside to see how it might do.
Now on to the good part... Pictures!
They are looking really good! The spider mite predators are doing their job and the spider mites have pretty much slowed to a halt.
Trichs are already forming but crappy camera prevents a good shot yet.

I do have a fan in there, I took it off to take the pics. I am thinking of throwing a smaller one in there cause it is too big to oscilate.
what do you do about the predator mites when they've done their job?

Hey Whiteberries, welcome to the thread. The predators are carnivorous so they will not eat the plant matter. Once they are done devouring the eggs of the spider mites, they begin to eat eachother. And then when none are left, they die.
Beautiful flowering and foliage
Do they still stretch?
They are done with their 2 week stretch, I made sure that I gave them NO nitrogen at all during the stretch or flower. Sativas will keep growing and stretching with more N.
Check this out really great thread

Thanks! I am super excited as well haha
So a quick update, Just took a peak at them and boy are the buds plumping up! I think I can back the CFL's up a bit since the increased lumens doesn't seem to be really growing bigger buds under the direct light, the biggest buds are those with less light... hrm.
So I hiked the lights up a bit and we will see what happens
I'll snap pics for week 4 tomorrow!!! feels like 1/2 way done already

the back left corner of my tent (only a few square inches) was infested but the rest all have predators on almost every leaf.
I cut all the infected fan leaves off that I could reach and sprayed the rest with "don't bug me" to hold the mites off till the predators show up.
All the other new growth around the grow is fresh

the girls are plumping up nicely, still got that shitty camera but I tweaked it the best I could. Put her on iso200 and lowered the exposure. Changed it to centerweight af and we are ready to rock!
Here are the girls all lined up
Here is my favorite bud. Funny enough it is at the back of the tent, not really in direct light but yet it is the biggest / frostiest lol. She is also the top kola for the front left plant.
and then we have some nice trich action on the right hand side of the tent.
mmmmm when you rub your hand over a bud it smells like pineapple candy
