Good going Karma. Glad to hear it is working out for you.

Hey karma! Things are looking great!! I woudlnt worry too much about the burn, they still look great!! I look forward to seeing an updated shot here in a few days!!

karmaceutical · 04-04-2011, 11:22 PM

Milhouse- yup, if you think they look good in those pics, I'm sure you'll like the next ones.

O yea and I've got dreams of a 600 setup as well. Cool thing is if we ever upgrade, our current cabinets would probably be a pretty sick veg cab / breeding cab.

I'm kinda getting scared that they will overgrow the cab. Should be better in a few weeks assuming I get a somewhat normal M/F ratio. I think I should have started LST earlier because these stems are looking kinda thick!

Will have pic update tomorrow with before/after pics of LST...

Training Day Update

I just tied my babies down after I saw one of my Limon's leaf tips got toasted by my PLL. The damage wasn't serious at all and I'm honestly surprised by how cool the PLLs run.

Before LST...

After LST...

It's getting crowded in my cab! I'm kind of purposefully overgrowing my cab right now, to minimize the extra space that isn't utilized by the females once the males are taken out. I probably won't wait too much longer to start flowering, but I still need to take some clones.

Looks like a mini jungle in there Karma

Awesome. Looking very nice. You get alot of growth from the pl-l's.

Update

What was a mini jungle is now a jungle. I had to surround the middle lights with hardwire cloth to prevent growth tips from hitting the lights. I need to go into 12/12 either today or tomorrow, just need to fix a few light leaks.

O yea, I have a quick question: How long does it typically take after flipping lights to 12/12 before one can definitively differentiate between male/female plants?

Pics of the jungle will follow whenever I flip the lights...

3-10 days

Hey Karma, go to your local hardware store and buy some fluorescent tube guards, like a T12 guard if they have them. Otherwise you can order online for pretty cheap i am sure. They slide right over the bulbs and the leaves can grow right up against without getting burnt. If you really want to get slick, look for the thread on here where someone made individual cool tubes out of those for each of his bulbs! Very Very cool and innovative!!!!

karmaceutical · 04-17-2011, 02:14 AM

Thanks for the advice guys.

Milhouse-I would probably use the tube idea but the hardware cloth seems to be doing its job quite well. O yea and I think you were thinking of Tilt's vert PLL setup. His cab inspired me to go vertical with the PLLs and his cool tube setup is sweet! He probably has one of the most efficient micro cabs (the only negative in my mind is the high plant count).

And now, the much anticipated update...

Day 3 of flower

First the addition of hardware cloth surrounding the vertical lights

The clones I took before flipping the lights. There are 8 clones because a branch fell off of a plant due to my rough handling and I figured it might as well be a clone in case the other one doesn't root. Clone method: ice cube tray for water bottles with water reservoir+vermiculite+scultz rooting hormone.

Scale shot to show a Limon's fat stem

Plants have now grown past the first vertical light...

O yea and I couldn't get any good shots of preflowers because my camera sucks. There are a few, but I can't really determine sex yet. The most advanced preflower is on a sour thai, it has two white hairs coming out of a little green sheath. I think this one is female.

P.S. I know this is the Swan Song forum and I mean no disrespect to Zep, but here is a DGS logo I made for a contest over in her forum. Let me know if you have any suggestions for improving it!
