Mind Grenade's PL-L Lady Lair

[Mind Grenade]

Hello IC, Let me start off by saying ! This site has an unbelievable wealth of knowledge and great community. Its good to be back.

I havent posted anything in a while but I've been busy. I have now since been using my 50w HPS PC as my clone cab and i have constructed a new cab. My new cab is still micro but more room to work with.

The dimensions are 2'x1'x2.5' (WxDxH). I use 110w of pl-l power, 2x55w. The light i use is a HTGsupply fixture. hxxp://htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=51907
For my exhaust I use 3 computer fans stacked, spaced out of course, hooked up to a carbon filter made similar to the one form my pc grow.
My intake is passive and is 2x my exhaust. Its light proofed with Scrubs design.

I use soil as my medium a mixture of soil, perlite, and vermiculite. I grow in 2 liter bottles cut at the top. I'm now on my second run with this cab and ran a test run with some bag seed. I grew 3 plants, 1 turned out male. Harvested 20gs dry of some good smoke.

I enjoyed one so much that i revegged her and she is flowering with my other ladies. I am currently growing 5 plants, 2 blackberry, 2 purple widow, and my 1 great revegged bagseed lady. They all vegged for almost 5 weeks i think and are now 30 days into flowering. The blackberrys are flowering much slower than the purple widows and one BB stretched a ton compared to the others.
I would also like to add that i defoliated my plants during vegg and still some minor defoliation during flowering.
I'll post pics in a moment

[yesum]

I like your style. Guess you caught keeftreez defoliation thread too? I will strip all leaves blocking budsites from now on. I am sold.

 

[PanchoBuddah]

I'm in! Keep the pics coming!

 

[Mind Grenade]

Thanks guys! Glad to have u all on board.
Im all about experimenting so when i read about the defoliation i was sold right away. I was pretty much forced in a way too as my cab is jam packed, i couldnt afford to have big fan leaves taking up all my limited space.


I also forgot, ill upload some pics of my tiny plant i grew that dried out to be a little over a gram

 

[Mind Grenade]

Heres some pics of the tiny plant. i dont have much as i wasnt documenting this grow too much.


^that pic is not from the little plant, just a nug pic i forgot to upload.

^Heres some pics of my pc with 2 healthy clones rooted growing and ive begun to lst them, and one in that bag thats just beginning to root.

 

[Mind Grenade]

I thought id post a pic that shows the purple a little better. I will post an update of the lair with more pics tmrw. Have a good one

 

[feral]

Holy crap dude!!!!
I feel like I was looking at my setup. Same space dimensions except I have 3 ft of height and same exact light.
Kudos for rocking the PLL's.

 

[Mind Grenade]

Just a mini update, I took these 2 pics of the PW that i heavily defoliated. The nugs are much longer than the other PW that i only did mild to no defoliation to.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

dammm thouse flowers r looking super dooper good.

 

[Mind Grenade]

Thanks cheese, i appreciate that.

Heres just another mini update of my revegged plant and one of the purple widows.

^those are the revegged nuggies only a shot of 2 out of the 5 on the plant. Shes really frosty, glad i get to smoke her again

^and those are pics of one of the purple widows, im going to try and take some pics in different lighting hopefully be able to capture its true purple hue.

 

[Mind Grenade]

Some pics like i said with some more clear lighting.

also i have a question on posting pics, when u click on the pics they are bigger but how do i get them to be as big as they can be inside the post without having to click on them?

 

[Mind Grenade]

Here some pics of my 3 clones.
Also, my question is still up to be answered if anyone could help me out regarding the pics.

^that is going to b my mother who i will clip clones from.

^#2 clone

^the little one that was under the bag in the first pic of my clones.

some unfortunate problems

some unfortunate problems

Hello icmag, well i got some bad news. My cab runs 3 pcs fans stacked with a carbon filter attached for the exhaust. Well the fan in the middle broke and raised the temps in my cab.
My thermometer has since been out of my cab since the test run because i figured temps are fine i dont need it. I didnt catch the problem right away and my plants suffered slow growth and one of my blackberries hermied possibly from the heat stress because i have my lights timed and never really took the one that hermed out of the cab.

There is some good news tho. My girl that i revegged appears to have not suffered from the heat stress and has nice frosty dense nuggys. Ill take some pics of them all when lights come on.

 

[Mind Grenade]

ok folks here some pics, the 2 BB plants are younger than the pw and reveg lady not sure how old they are tho. The others are i believe 6 weeks maybe 7 weeks.

^PW lady

^reveg lady

^some pw heat damaged nuggies

^slouching BB that got hermed all over and has bunch seeds, i forgot to take pic of the hermie.
