BC's 150 watt HPS/T5 Scrog Cab

[PanchoBuddah]

Coming along BC! She's a beast. I would only cut fan leaves that are blocking light from lower budsites. But no need to cut the stem of the leaf, it will release back energy to the plant, then shrivel and die off on its own. Just my 2 pennies... Keep up the great work!

looking amazing, filling up that screen hah I definitely have to get those t5's.
cant wait to see the next update

Hey Ghost!!!! Thank you bro!! this is sooooo much fun!!!
Thanks DiscoBiscuit!!! your grows are bloody amazing too!!! have you ever tried the green crack?? its awesome!! like the old school skunk ... to me anyways...I do have leaves layered in some spots so should I cut them out??
thanks Mind Grenade!!I am amazed at the T5's....they are 6400k full spectrum lights so I could just use them the whole cycle but why not throw in an HPS!!!
thanks PanchoBuddha!!! I'll be careful what I cut then..thanks!!
Hey funknug420!!! thanks bro!! The T5's are great for sure...a friend of mine uses only those for veg...with incredible results...
Here we are at Day 16 of Bloom..buds are now starting at the top!! Thank you Bud Blood!!!
Its a bloody jungle for sure in there!! its so full of roots that they are coming out the top where the stalk meets the soil....

its 36 inches in length so thats 1 wide plant....

28 bud sites and counting

do you think some of those branches will have to be tied down??there is only 8-9 inches left for her to grow upwards...

buds are now starting which is great but a macro of my finger isn't cool...sorta ugly huh...
let me know what you all think and many, many thanks for the help
thanks everyone

I forgot to mention, you'll need to consider removing fans beneath the screen for air-flow. Especially if the fans layer underneath. Nice pictures. Everything looks great.


EDIT: I forgot you're growing above the screen. You prolly won't have the undergrowth I'll get growin underneath the screen

 

[PanchoBuddah]

Everytime I take a peek in here I'm impressed. That babe is so healthy and a delite to look at. Can't wait to see her full of budz!!

do you think some of those branches will have to be tied down??there is only 8-9 inches left for her to grow upwards...

You CAN tie some of those branches down, but not neccessary. Spread it her out to the sides to get more light to the middle budsites. Try to cover the entire screen if you want. But your doing that cab and plant much justice...

Hey bro your running outta room real quick, you can either tie all those bigger branches down to the screen and open her right up or maybe not so drastic a measure would be to bend/LST all the branches back down towards the screen, you have to do something bro I reckon that girl is going to be hitting your lights and fans fairly soon going by the way she's growing.
She is a picture of a healthy plant bro, great job so far just bring her home now

 

[BC Chronic]

thanks DiscoBiscuit!!! I thought there were more leaves underneath but there are WAY more up top of the screen..I really misjudged how the TW would explode like it has...I'll remove the layers underneath though..thank you for your help...
Hey PanchoBuddah!! Thanks!! If you go into my albums , you can get some idea how big the cola was on my other TW grow...20 grams dry...from a pc!!
b00m!!!!!!!!!!!hey bro!!!! I have done exactly what you said!! she grew another 2 inches overnight after a feeding....sheeeeesh...in a good way of course
Its now day 17 of bloom and she's still growing to the roofman...I'm LOVING itthis is so much fun....

here she is at lights on...grew alot last night...

now you can see the buds forming more clearly...there have been pistils everywhere since day 9 of bloom...she smells more skunky than the last TW I grew...glad I have 1 clone...

she'll be the mom now since I completely bothched ( the cat did'nt help) cloning attempt...

before her next tie down

pipe cleaners everywherei hope others try these T5's...plants sure love them...

there is exactly 2.88 square feet of grow space and its completely fullI think thats right? length times width for square footage??? anyone??
thanks all for being part of my grow...
take care...look forward to hearing from you all...time to visit some threads

 

[darwinsbulldog]

hey mate looking healthy as! you going to weave the plant back in and out of those scrog before flipping at all?

 

[BC Chronic]

Hey darwin!!! Thanks for popping in!! I flipped 18 days ago and she was right down to the screen but all of a sudden she exploded and now I'm trying to get her back under control...
she was growing 3-4 inches everyday....
its been crazy fun though!!
thanks again

 

[StealthDragon]

wow looking great BC, looking very healthy. Can't wait to see what this produces.

 

[BC Chronic]

Thanks Stealthdragon!! she's finally slowed down...whew!!
Here we are at Day 18 of Bloom, almost the end of three weeks...the buds are starting to fill in too

this is right before lights on today..i just love looking at those( any!!) green leaves...

you can see the tops starting to fill inCan't wait ( like you Stealth!!) to see how they end up...

right before I really tied her down...for the last time I hope!!!

half way done

and we are finished 36 bud sites now....alot are in the middle but I don't know if you can see them..
how does it look?? I mean how I tied her down?? the whole screen is filled now so theres no where else to go...if you look at the last pic, I had to overlap branches...
thanks everyone for making this grow so much fun...
take care

 

[Penguin59]

Jesus christ man i just saw u link this thread on Darwin's grow and i'm so glad you did! I was so impressed with this cab, it's just insanely well put together. I love that there are 4 fluoro tubes on all sides of the plants & a nice HPS on the top sunning them. You should be yielding a decent amount with 36 budding sites too!

Tell me, how do you stop the plants from getting burned on the sides by the fluoro tubes? It looks like they're covered.

[BC Chronic]

Thank you Penguin59!!! theT5's are surprisingly cool..it must be all the wind I have in there or something..but after days of touching the lights, some of the leaves burnt a little so I pulled all those branches towards the inside...
i really like your cab too especially that light proof door!! its almost like a bank vault door
hope you visit again bro...

 

[Ghostwolf]
