First time grower here - using 150w hps and some shoplites in my closet for 2 Nirvana NL X BB plants. They went through a lot of stress along the way (overferted early on, and later they had to be stored in the trunk of a car for 40 hours), but they have survived. These pics are from day 31 of flowering. Small buds, I know, but at least they survived. I guess most people use 150w hps for scrog or sog, and I just used it like you would use a higher power light. I think I let one of the plants get way too tall, and the 150w can't penetrate. Maybe that's the reason for the small buds.

Yeah those plants are way to tall for a 150.

Scrog or LST (basically just bending the plant over by tying) is what you need to do.

You'll probably do real good once you do that since your growth is great.

Hey ganjagoon. Yo dude, i got respect for you growing those bitches so tall with a 150. Don't sweat those popcorn buds, they will still get you high. Your main colas look pretty nice. Way yo go dude.

Hey everyone!
Glad I found ya!
My box is dormant for the time being but I'm still on da scene! hehe
This place ain't as easy to use as OG.
Thanks PD!
Nice electrical work there Panda!
Look'in good SGC!
Grow on.
Best regards!

Thanks for the encouragement. As long as it still gets me high, I'm fine with a small yield for the first time. I think next time I'll upgrade to a 400. The reason I didn't this time was I was worried about temps getting too high.

Yo GG you won't be dissappointed with a 400w. I started with a 150w and upgraded to a 400w for about 7 months. I went back to the 150w once my supply began to rise. Now i'm back to the 400cfm for good. Once i get excess i will bury it out in the woods and just keep an ounce or so in the house. Just buy a good inline fan (i use a 6" ~450w elicient on speed control. It works so well that my dad stood about 2 feet from my cab and didn't notice a thing), it's one of the best investments you'll make.

Sorry to be speaking evil words in here. 400w, what am i thinking?

Hey, Guanito. Where you been dude?

Don't believe all of those "nay-sayers". A 150 with a bit of carefull planning can grow large fat buds on tall plants. I've been doing it for years. Here's a young lady that's over 3 feet tall and produced the 14" cola shown. Check out the link in my signature or my gallery for some more shots and info.

I buy my bulbs at flea markets. You can find them there all the time and run about $5 after bargining.

Hey pdb,

well you dragged me back out of hiding, again. Not so sure if it feels like home here - I imagine it will never feel the same again - that sense of community, naivete, and dare I say security are shattered, for a while at least.


hey guanito,

I'm glad to see you back around and doing well, my cab lies dormant, too :( . I pulled a harvest a few weeks after the OG debacle and gave some clones to some hermit friends for payback another day. I'm well set for med's but it's kinda hard to give up the gardening thing. maybe I'll put some veggies in there to pass the time... but I imagine it won't be the same - can you really scrog a tomato plant?
