Tr1ck's 400Watt DR80 Iced Grapefruit

Many years ago I saw someone on this board get ~1lb from a 400watt light in a 2x2 tent growing 1 Chronic plant in a SCROG. It's definitely possible, shoot for the stars BudMasterzero!

Well I am getting some light bleaching directly under the bulb. The last few days I swear these plants have been growing multiple inches per day, they are growing faster than I can raise my light lol. When I finally was able to check the tent today the light was only 6 inches above the tops in a few spots!

Does light bleaching much if you fix it fairly quick? Hopefully it doesn't hurt the few cola's that decided to try to touch the sun.
 
Ah nothing like having a camera but no usb cord to be found......

Hells yes I know of the KGB who pulled 1 lb from a small closet. Scrogg is the way to go if you wanna maximize yield with one plant. Though if you have a few more than that many SoG is better (from what I am told).

Now onto the usb cord hunt!.
edit: now to figure out how to size my photos to upload them.

Beautiful! Everytime I come to this thread it makes me wish I would've got a bigger tent! There were no DR80s in stock and I had no room for a DR90. BLAST YOU! I'm quite jealous! :respect:

I really wanted a DR90 since they were "New and Improved" but it was literally like 1 inch too large on the footprint. Needless to say I am more than happy with the quality of the first generation DR's

How are your little ones Dan?

Haha yeah I was going to get a DR II, but I didn't want to wait a month for them to be in stock so I settled for a first gen and am more than happy with it. I had originally planned on putting the tent inside my closet, and the DR60 fit inside and still allowed the closet doors to close. After I placed my order I realized I have a furnace room (derp) and could have gotten away with a larger tent. Either way I saved some money and the wife wasn't too enthused about a "large" grow in the house anyway, so it worked out okay in the end. Besides, now I can upgrade to a larger tent and use my DR60 for mothers/vegging :biggrin:!

My plants seem to be doing okay (fingers crossed), no more stemrot/damping off issues as far as I can tell. I think the increased air circulation from the 4" axial fans is helping a lot. One Sour Diesel finally has a 5" root coming out of his netpot dangling down into the res, no sign of roots out of the other 2 but I have faith in a day or two they'll show me the goods. Will take pictures tomorrow, wasn't a big enough change in them to warrant taking more pics yet, besides the baby root porn of course. Been brainstorming trying to find kinks in my RDWC system that should arrive here on Thursday. I think I may start 12/12 in about 3 weeks from now, a little ahead of my original schedule but it'll come down to how well the plants are doing at that point. With the move coming up I'd rather have smaller but "mature" buds, rather than having to chop them early.

I definitely agree, go for mature and smaller buds. But to be honest, 3 more weeks of veg is not much shorter than I vegged. My ladies are going out of control and I am soil! I cant imagine how fast yours are gonna grow once they get some steam going. Gotta love hydro growth rates :
 
Hell to me it seems that scrogging takes some height out of the plants. It always amazes me to see how much one plant can filled out a screen.

Either way awesome setup tr1ck. I am planning to veg about 1 1/2 more weeks then onto flower. My buddy told me I am in for a 10 week flowering, but his colas look awesome. I like how fat your girl's stalks are.

BTW do you do defoliation on your girls? (removing leaves under the screen). I have a little and it seems to do some good. Definitely trim leaves blocking other leaves or bud sites.

I'm diggin the screen of green :p And i wouldn't worry about the bleaching too much as you long you stay on top of it and don't let the canopy get too hot.
 
Hell just got my new 400 cfm fan (got a rotary saw speed controller) now to get my filter. I was going to ask where you put the filter but I saw a pic.

Once again, gotta love these grow tents.

Day 23. These things will not quit stretching! I am starting to get nervous as my light is already 1 click away from the highest it can go. If I have to raise it anymore, I will have to zip-tie it directly to the bars on the top.

Feed them some Phosophoload. Go easy with the nutes if you do. Bet yet Foliar feed em some Bushmaster instead. Either way go easy with the nuts and raise the light high as possible. I'd do it right before lights out or 2hours before light on. They'll stop growing vertically instantly. Oh and do it two feedings. With a straight water feeding between. Good luck with your girls.

I think those are something you are supposed to do at the beginning of flowering, not on Day 23 when they are on the very last bit of their stretch. I am also trying to be organic and I somehow doubt those things classify anyways ;)

Thanks for the suggestions though, and welcome to icmag!

Looking AWESOME. Canopy looking fantastic. Hoping they slow their roll, start getting fat instead. Like a lady after a wedding!

..speaking of fans..

Just ordered two Air King 6" clip-on deals from Amazon .. $40, shipped, for the pair.

There were cheaper clip-deals available for $12 + shipping.. But a friend has had two 12" Air Kings on 24/7 for the past two years, .. No issues..

Can't argue with results

Let me know what you think of the fan, I should have my new fan arriving tomorrow, its a two-speed clip-on from "Holmes" I hope it works better than the no-name china knockoffs I had before :)
