9 green crack babies livin in a dr80

peterjoseph88 · Jul 21, 2010

sooo as the title says im gonna be growing out 9 green crack babies i picked up from grass roots collective in sf. ill be using an air cooled 400mh/hps in a secret jardin dr80. this will be my first run in this thing, i successfully completed 2 grows before this in a homemade cab, but i like this much more

i picked up the girls sunday(july18) and transplanted them into some ffof in 16oz cups and put the lights 24" above them. I gradually lowered the light to 12" above the canopy and that's where it will stay.

ill be adding updates weekly so feel free to stop by and let me know im not talking to myself lol... anyway heres a couple pics of what i have goin..... oh and the other 2 in there are some unknown bagseed i strarted while waiting on my clones

peterjoseph88 · Jul 28, 2010

hey greatlakes thanks for stoppin by. the clones are doing well now, but i was dealing with some ph issues(no tester). and when i did finally get some test drops i found out the ph of the water was around 4 with half strength nutes...
same nutes i fed my girls with the day before... whoops :dunno:

live and learn... anyway i have most of them tansplanted into their final 6 inch square pots but im out of soil! argh, so im going tomorrow to get more and finish the transplant and ill have an update with a lot of pictures, nothin really interesting but an update none the less.

Thanks for the info .... another question for ya ....
is that the interior measurement? I have seen the Botanicare 24"x24"x7" ( exterior measurements) but I'm hunting for a 22"x22"x about 4-7"(exterior measurements) to be used on the bottom of my DR60 as a container to catch any over splash or bleed off when watering (soil grow). I modified my tent to have a 22"x24" footprint.

peterjoseph88 · Jul 28, 2010

Wasn't me... 22" x 22" is the interior measurement, outside to outside is 24"..... I think lol but I don't think its 7" tall. Ill double check tonight when I get home

Edit: so I was just looking online and I can't seem to find the tray I have, I may have been given the wrong one? I ordered and picked it up from my hydro store, But its about 3" tall, the interior is 22", the exterior is about 24" and its made out of heavy abs

WasntMe · Jul 28, 2010

PJ, understood .. Thank you

peterjoseph88 · Jul 29, 2010

No problem .... so now I feel pretty dumb, I had all the plants out and figured id look at the tray while it was accesible, so I flip it over and take a look at the bottom and the price tag is still on it, it clearly says"botanicare 22" tray LID"..lol, even though it isn't the right thing I am still gonna use it, maybe one day ill have the tray to go with the lid lol. Ill have an update in a bit, the gf is at the giants game with the camera

peterjoseph88 · Jul 29, 2010

Nick Sand · Aug 6, 2010

Very nice PJ. I am running an air cooled 250hps in a dr80. After seeing this thread me thinks I'll upgrade to a 400w. Here's a pic https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=21646&pictureid=455167

peterjoseph88 · Aug 6, 2010

Right on nick, happy to have helped. The 400 works great in my dr80 and with only a 4 inch fantec sucking air through the light and out and an oscilating tower fan my temps run 6-12degrees over ambient. My highest temp so far was 81.8, but its been a cool summer here in the bay so far. Best of luck to you nick
