Some fine females you got in there :biggrin:
:laughing: someone had to go there .


thanks buddler.....Mc K

Sour Bubble is one extreme plant with it's unique structure.
potent as fook too.
there's another SB pheno in the room and i have clones.
I may do up 1/2 the room with it in the spring or early summer runs
if you went back in time to the jurassic age I bet this is what cannabis looked like...

Gnome ..... Great thread. Hellacious Growroom. ..... subbed

McKush and interested parties: For lining the room, take a look at HD, for fiberglass 4'x8' panels. About 1/4" thick, semi flexible, Waterproof, either pebbled finish or smooth reversible, available in White. These are used in commercial bathrooms, refrigerated trailers, walk-in coolers, etc. $35 each last I looked. Normally affixed to metal studs with pop-rivetes. Can be screwed on as well. Way easier than tile and still sanitary.

Door seals? Take a look at automotive 'door gaskets' tubular for the seal, and often have a flange/rib attached for easy installation.

Just food for thought.

In case I didn't say it before. GREAT THREAD with lots of really good info.

Hi 2 Legal Co,

Thanks for the link. I'm checking them out on the web but will look at them next HD run I make. I'm on the fence about whether I put down and prep cement board over my ply walls and then a temp cover like paint, film, or this sort of wall covering. After all the work of putting up and skimming cement board to seal it - I'm not sure why I wouldn't just go ahead and finish with tiles - other than it is a massive amount of work to do... I'm running out of steam, money, and daylight for tiling.. These might be the ticket for an interim state. I know once I stop it will be hard to go back and finish the room so I'm trying to get as much this go around as possible. Once I start indoor gardening, I'll not want to get back into construction mode on this room... You know how it goes about finish work... never seem to get it all done if you don't keep at it while the mood is there...

You have any pics of your room to share 2Legal?

yo big shrimp,
not sure what a 860w cdms is.. sounds like a bulb? or is it in the close up pic, the black box stage left...?.
if it's the black box, that's a nanolux 1000w ballast.

if it's the bulb....
I use 1000w sylvania metal arc 4000K halides for bloom,
it has a BT56 bulb
LOL...it's about the size of a NFL regulation size football


i get minimal stretch using these bulbs too,
usually no more than 6-8" sometimes less depending on strain

here's some of what Ive done with these bulbs
btw , they're only $20

:joint:

Very nice nugs gnome, frosty and full!

Yeah the 860w CDM is the largest CMH bulb out so far.

Those MH seem to be doing great, especially at 20$ a pop.

I had my eye on the CMH's for a long time but they were ony available in 400w sizes
now that they're expanding on thw wattage I'll be looking in to it fo sure.

ok,
not the forum to post bud porn but quite a few peeps wanted to see what my new room can do,
heck I wanna see what it can do and from what I'm seeing I'm a happy sniper gnome.
its my 1st w/C02 sealed and these kinda numbers,
they got too big,
and i hit a few bumps in the learning curve but I'll do fine come chop time at the end of the month.
one thing i will be doing before the next run or 3rd run at the latest is set up a net over everything to control floppies

there's a lot of different strains, 7-8ish maybe? in this round
so it was impossible for any particular strain to get dialed in properly,
this is close to 6 wks
lites out snuck up on me faster than expected
so it's nite time pics

Flying in blue dream for sure!

hey McKush,
nice of ya to take a break and drop by,
this is what you'll be seeing in your haciendo
when yas get out of that hole you've been working in since last year :biggrin:



I can live in that room.....

:woohoo::peacock:

truthfully
for the last 7-8 months Ive spent more time in there than sleeping in my own fooking bed.
and its a blast fo sure!!
I'd love to get a hard hitting clone only strain like GG#4 :sumo:
and see what I can do with it :plant grow:

BTW... cold ones in the fridge
help yerselves amigo's
 
WOW dude. Room is looking STACKED!!!

And yeah, can tell they got a little too big. Growin right up to the bulbs I see! Hope you can get em away from the bulbs so you don't burn those precious top nugs.

So did you not do much topping or training at all? If memory serves correctly, seems like in earlier veg pics they all looked like they just had some of the lower branches chopped off, but that's about it. You just all about those terminal colas or what?

Glad to hear the room is living up to the expectations so far!

Hola' Senor Bad.... :bandit:
due to circumstances in veg I went too long and some were waaaay too big,
I bent the tops of about a 1/3 of the prob plants which make the plants think they were topped and lower laterals shoot up to add Xamount of top end colas

and yes, I lollipopped the lower branches
Great job man

Thank you sir uraceulose
