More great pictures all around. I haven't done a hike like that in many years. Sounds like you had a good time and we'll have memories ya'll never forget. I'm lookin forward to some dried bud shots :D

Thanks rasputin! Had to stop by your thread and take a look at all that skunk-age you have going. Some phenomenal looking plants there bro :tiphat:



Catman, always nice to have you by. Some interesting memories were definitely made, some slightly more embarrassing than the others :moon:

Nug shots are coming right around the corner. First the sour bubble, and then everyone's favorite concentrate shots are surely in the making

Take it easy man :thank you:

Here's the room now that the sour bubble has moved on... They are able to spread out now and seem much happier with the extra room.


Room shots at day 60

Purp - really starting to pick it up now

Chem4xsd short - not much weight on her, but the buds are looking very nice. Not gonna be keeping her around do to the lower yield. The lowest crystally cola is the CJ and the top cola with yellowing leaves is the 4SD tall. The 4SD short is right between the two with the nice dark leaves...

Chem4xsd tall - looking nice. Big fat floppy colas. Can't wait to see her after a clone run and smoke some of these buds...

Casey Jones - No words are necessary :dance013:

Looking forward to the next run... Here's those seedlings from a while back. I've found 4 C99 x OGK females and 1 CD x MAT female so far...

Unsexed seedlings. 2 CD x MAT and 4 C99 x OGK

The next clone run... Casey jones, killer chem (c99/g13 x chemdog), local purp, mikado99, sour bubble, and 4SD tall... I should have a new 400w vert pod built by the end of the month ready to rock these ladies in. 6 ladies, 5 gal buckets. Should be sick and I'm real excited to flip my bulbs back rightside up :moon:

Gonna be busy here the next few weeks :dance013:

And the new 400w vert pod.... Measurements have been taken, and the floor and ceiling systems have been figured. Got my parts list and ready to start building here in a few days...

She requires:
4 - 2x4's at 6' long
4 - 2x4's at 8' long (cut into 4 - 4' sections, 2 - 3'9" sections, and 2 - 3'5" sections)
5 - 1/2" ply at 4' long x 1'4" wide
Panda poly/reflectrix

I'm gonna be running 6 girls in 5 gallon buckets. Blumats with the res and 400w ballast located on top of the pod. The panda film will be applied before the top piece of plywood is on there. Using a zipper for the door, everyone's favorite honeywell fan blowing over the bulb which draws the cold air from below the cab and will sit on the actual floor as opposed to my raised floor, and a can33 fan/filter combo for extraction... Individual v-scrog screens or a single hort trellis will be installed as well...

Enough type, here's pics of my model relatively complete... All measures to scale except for the ballast...

Any tips, suggestions, or questions are welcome :wave:

Looks good but maybe buy some cheap 2 x 3s instead to save money. Buy extra so you can put in some x-bracing and also finish the box frame on the top. The way it is now it looks like it would "rack" easily and be a non-rectangle in no time.

I like the intake design at the bottom and the fact that the plants are elevated. Light trap bottom is easy enough to work out later.

only thing I can think of is maybe make a lazy susan to make maintenance and watering easier (if hand watering).

I just freed up a 400 and will be doing a similar design to see if a vert 400 will out grown my horizontal 600. Next step after getting feet wet with the 400 will be vert 600 and I'll crop one of the grows every 30-35 days.

Lou, why didn't you drop me a message and point me to your new thread?

Looking good my friend! You're gonna love those MAT x ChemD... I got some from a local boy of mine... ;) I had to get the MAT mom I liked the cross so much.

Keep it green, and purple and orange... lol beautiful plants bro.

Hey headseed, nice to have you drop in. Just finished up the frame. Kept the 2x4s and 2 screws per stud, along with the floor panels that should provide enough lateral support to not need x bracing. She's only 6' tall and is standing nice and sturdy. .... At least I'm not anticipating any lateral loads...... << Earthquake>>

Plants will be fed by blumats and the front plant by the door will be moveable, I'm not sure I'm talented enough to put together a lazy susan :comfort: Should be good to go with the blumats though...


Good luck on your 400 and 600 watters man! I'll be looking out :thank you:

What can I say :bigeye:

Didn't think it was bobble worthy until I at least got my bulbs flipped around and started using some watts properly...

You're just in time though, as the first 400w pod should be up by tomorrow morning... I have enough casey in the jars and munchies in the fridge to keep me going through the night...

I've seen pics of the MAT mom and that's what prompted me to pop these bad girls... Short and stout things for now, and should be flowering them here in several weeks. Great to hear I'm in for a treat.

Those buds are sexy as hell. Excellent work. I love the chamber also. The thing looks like it's going to rock some dank.

Keep up the sick work loudog420.

Thanks labtec. Let's hope this new cab rocks. It's practically your pod minus the second tier and tuned down to 400w :moon:


Told you I'd be busy.... I feel like a serious wrong has been corrected... A crisis averted... My bulbs are back to vertical :dance013:

Pod with the 6 ladies that will be flowered here...

Pod with all my veg plants for now. Sitting under 250w until this other run is all finished up and I can grab a 400w :tiphat:

Sick Loudog, just sick. You busted that chamber out pretty fast. Good work.

Damn that was quick. Goes to show how proper planning pays off. Good to see that bulb vertical again man :]

I agree that was quick! Lou mentions building his vert space and shows sketchup, next post by him after all nighter and its done! Way to get it done bro!

If we could find a way to bottle up that motivation I would trade some cheese and blueberry for it hahhhahahaha. I have a completely empty unit right now and I am sitting here typing this. We're talking about 1000 square feet, 3 BRs, bath, kitchen and pantry. Seriously get me that motivation brosef!

Thanks all!

I'm really happy with how the build went. Nice and smooth, no hiccups whatsoever. When all goes to plan, it makes it much easier to be motivated. Especially when I have detailed grows to model my shit after :tiphat:

Girls have been repotted into their 5gals.

They will be handwatered for a week, then flipped to 12/12 and the blumats will be installed. Temps are sitting 5 degrees above ambient with the 250w, so hoping for less than 10 with the 400w :dance013:



Gotta start thinking about my second pod for the MAT x Chem and OGK x C99...
Ended up with 3 and 5 ladies of each respectively ^^ :jump: I'm gonna try these 8 ladies in 3 gallon grow bags and compare it to this 5 gal pod I do believe... We'll handle that MASSIVE 400w electrical spike by alternating the rooms and maintain some steady temps hopefully... ;)

Fuckin' mites in the new pod :comfort:

Caught it early, dosed them up with floramite this morning and will do another dose in half a week or so before the flip.

Little fuckers are gonna get decimated :moon:

Day 67 here and only the chem 4 x SD F2s are left

And finally some better shots. Both these girls have really shined lately, despite my abuse and negligence...

The new vert pod is rocking. Temps sit between 3-5 degrees above ambient with the 250w in there. I'm liking it...

I do believe I'm winning the mite battle as well. They will get one more dose tomorrow night after the lights go off as I hope to flip them here in a few days :wave:

Here's the 4sd tall ready to go for round two. I'm having a little trouble with her and what looks like phosphorous def... I'm not sure if i'm overloading the cal-mag and preventing proper uptake or ph is a bit off. Next feeding I will try with no cal-mag, but a little extra GH bloom and micro. After that we'll go onto foliar feedings, and if I still can't green her up, I will resort to buying a pH meter.... UGH :moon:

Just cut the 4SD short... Yield was poor, but she smells like something awful... A combo of fireworks and vicks vapor rub :moon:

I hope the other 4SD stinks like this lady!!! If she smells anything like this, I think she will be staying around for a bit :tiphat:


Big thanks to Mooch for these beans :thank you:

Flipped my two rooms tonight...

Clones in the 'pod'... Casey Jones, 4SD, killer chem, purp, mikado99, and some sour bubble. 5 gallon hempy buckets. coco/perlite mix. GH nutes, cal-mag, and drip clean. Sitting around the 400w now... Temps sit 6-7 degrees above ambient now.. 76-79 during the day. 67-69 at night ;)

Seeders and test plants now go in the 'hall'... 3 females from Menage a trois x chemdog ibl... 5 females from OG kush x C99... Sitting under a 400w and a 250w HPS. Grown in 1 gallons and fed with the same nute mix using blumats... 4SD tall is still sitting in the back and looking dank!!
