600w + 250w HPS, NFT, CO2, SOG, 3xSPG/3xWR/3xEF/3xCH/3xMS

[Mr.Jones]

So im back:

- 12 Plant from Clone, 600w HPS Cooltube Wing Reflector, NFT on House & Garden Nutes, CO2 not build up yet but in the making, dehumidifier ...

SPG (Sweet Pink Grapefruit):
Short, Fast, Potent, Tasty and supposed to yield well. never grown it before ...

EF (Euforia):
Short, Fast, Skunky and massive yielder! never grown ...

WR (White Russian)
Short, Potent heavy hitting and massive yield as well. never grown ...

CH (Chronic):
Super Heavy, average smoke.

Okay so cloning went shitty again - was aiming for 16 plants but well 12 are good too. New experience i made: rockwool performs much better than hydroton when planted in an NFT System (will always remember that! ). This grow i will try to go as high tech as possible for future projects which are in the making ... Im excited about my strain line up - They all sound good to me and are selected cuts (always was impressed from my supplier).

SPG:


EF:


WR:


CH:



This would be my big light.
On the small lamp a special cross from seed is running - its called Mad S and is a cross between herijuana and white widow. this one is just one of a kind - years back i selected one and it was the most characteristic smoke ive ever head. the taste was kind of chemical and after pretty much 5 minutes after inhaling you could feel a warm feeling on the backside of your body - like a seat or a warm blanked. your whole body started to relax! this is probably perfect pain medication: from 5 seeds 5 sprouted but 2 were too weak to survive ... im thinking about f2 those and cross it to a few of my other strains i got going in case ill get a male:

Mad S:


Some equipment shots:


The overview will follow - also the room isnt finished yet.

feel free to comment

Everything looks great! The Mad S sounds like an awesome strain

Hey - thanks for stepping by. the Mad S is doing very good - its growing like a weed

Mad S:


the big system:


so im ashamed of my clones - you are free to pick on me if you want to

the Mad S is actually not running on H&G but on Advanced Hydro - forgot to mention that!

Have a good one!

oi ...the clones look a lil bit rambled...but ithink you will dial it in ...nevertheless ,,,are your clones austriacuts? good luck with your grow ..and have a nice sunday

they actually are - never had bad experience! i know its just a freackin sad picture ... i have trouble cloning since a while - i just dont understand it.

 

[gertnaerd]

hey man,keep up your head..i had bad cloning rate in summer ,,,a whole bunch of cuts rotted away....now it isn´´t like ever...perhaps imight got some virus..or something ...i tried to improve my cleanness since then ....the new bunch looks stellar....i hope it will work out for you..somethings to consider....too cold...too sharp?? have nice weekend

 

[erwingruber]

Hello Mr.Jones i am really happy that i can follow live one of your grows.
Indeed you have very intresting strains there i am following closely
those WH and CH.
Looking forward for detailed growroom setup description cause NFT
is totally new for me and i would like to see how it performs.

Wish you the best with your new grow.

nah it was warm enough - around 24°C in my bubble cloner - but the cuts were pretty small and i didnt adjust ph and stuff ...

thanks man for stepping by

so just a preview or how my cab looked last time:


ill update later on - they start to grow now

 

[erwingruber]

Wow those are huge buds . Did you remember the yields ?
Is those grw with 1 600 Watter ?
i see buds like this only in my balcony grow ,
what i am making wrong in my closet ?
I am waiting to see your grow running.

 

[Mr.Jones]

so a small update:

things are getting better at the moment - clones start to grow and seedlings look very good:



there still a few which i dont want to show at the moment since nothing happend there ...



and 2 group pictures:

i yielded 450-500g from a 600w lamp - pretty nice but chronic is a high yielder ...
you need to run hydro/dwc to achive those kinds in my experience

 

[Mr.Jones]

So Update Time!

Big System:


i think theyre doing pretty good - in maybe 3-4 days theyll be quite tall

the small system:


im kinda worried about 'em since they claw a little - hope it was the heat - moved the light up

promissed overview:


im very excited - this is hopefully going to be nice

Hello Mr.Jones
I think that you are really enjoy your grows ,
you are hoping from one system to another .
Why you give up your vertical DIY it was promising.

Wich is the reason you are going NFT and not RDWC or DWC ?
and where is those WR i will adopt one of them.

How are you going to beat the high temps in your sealed room ?
How long are you going to veg those clones ?

hey thanks for stepping by
actually i want to go back to vertical or kind of but i guess if i cant controll my system 100% horizontal - there is no point in going back vert! another thing is that i dont have the space i used to so i got to keep it compact (but i plan to go back) ...

NFT systems are very secure systems and the plants love it - im kind of scared of DWCs since if they run dry the plants die instantly - in a NFT i have around 2 - 4 hours to react.

the temps are pretty low - i would like to have it a little warmer in there but around 26°C is nearly perfect ... the co2 is not installed yet sadly!

The clones veg now for around 10 days and will go another maybe 5-7 days till i flip them - 14days is alot of veg (at least for me) but i messed up cloning so its my bad.

the white russian actually are just 2 of them and one i guess died and another one is struggling hard but does look better now! Thats a shame because i was espeacially excited about them!

... one of the Mad S is showing nanners so im a little nervous and have my hopes up to finally have a nice "breeding" male again. SPG x (wwxherijuana) sounds very promising!

Thanks for steppin by,
MJ

How a dwc system can run dry ???
the smaller system ( mine ) has 60 liters of water how r u going dry with so much water ?

those temps is my nightmare i wish i have your problem , you can raise easily the low temps but how you can beat the 34 Celsius that i was running my closet last summer ??

keep you eyes on the surving WR i want to hear you oppinion on this cause i like this strain and i trust your judgment.

when the roots are not touching the water yet

yeah the white russian survived!!! and i have my jopes up that the other one will do so too the white russian is supposed to be a very good one - smoked it on the dam and loved it ...

the girls are growing really fast now - about 3-4 days to the flip

Mad S is looking very nice ... update will follow

 

[Mr.Jones]

well well - im back with the update:

the big light:


in the middle is a row which is still pretty small and starts to grow at the moment - tallest plant around 20cm - smallest around 3
EC at 1.0 - stepping it up shortly

Mad S.:


Mad S is looking lovely - but one of the plants is struggeling to keep up growth - here is one shot of a plant and im not sure to decide what gender it is:


some impressions:


and for you erwin the white russian close ups:


one is going strong now - the other one just might survive

peace

Hello Mr.Jones ,
You girls look that they bounche back , all of them except my WR
but they are good and i trust you , i am thinking to buy some WR seeds
from serious seeds for the next year.

One question for you.

Do you have an answer on the fact that clones from 9 blade mothers
they develop 7 or 5 blade leafs ?

the number of finger depends on the status of development of the plant - some plants put out 1 or 3 fingered leaves for some time after cloning but will step up their fingers during growth:


(Durban Poison, Dutch Passion)

yeah well the white russian will catch up i hope flip will be tomorrow - the others are just far too tall to wait!

this might be the Mad S in near future:


thanks for steppin by!

 

[BigGuns90]

Im just wondering why its rare to use nft table... Personaly my first grow is gonna be with nft cause ive rated it most fast to get good yield..
