Hello everyone and Welcome to my current grow!
I flower with a 400w grolux in a cooltube.
The veg cab has two 125w envirolights. I use one blue spectrum and one red spectrum.
I use a seedling starter soil up until the first transplant. Then i use bio bizz all mix.I add dolomite lime to the biobizz.

I use a selection of nutes from biobizz and also canna. Heres most of what i use:

I also use the bloom booster from bio canna but have run out.

Ok Enough about what i use, The strains i will be growing this round are Mod bx, Hashberry, Lemon stinky and dreamgoddess.

I cant remmber the exact date i germed them but would have been late october. I germed two of each strain, however one hashberry decided it wanted to grow up rather than down so we were left with 7 seedlings.

All seedlings seemed to take off well

This is the first time the veg cab had proper ventilation and the mixed spectrum of enviro's really seemed to be working.

On the 15th of November they were moved under the 400w hps, on an 18/6 light schedule still.
As you can see in the pic i started to train the two mod's on the 18th, The mod's are on the left with the dream goddess's and hashberry in the middle and the lemon stinky's on the right.

Well I switched to 12/12 on the 18th and since then all but one of the plants have shown sex!

Both Mod bx Female
One Dreamgoddess female and one male
Hashberry male
lemon stinky one male and one suspected male.

These pic's were taken this morning, the Mod ladies are back left and front right and are looking very pretty i think

, The dreamgoddess lady is front left and the unconfirmed lemon stinky is back right.
I also added my san pedro to the cab today, she normally stays on the window sill but its bit cold at this time of yr plus the light is less than ideal.

I will add regular and more detailed photos as we progress, I know everyone wants flowering pic's

Well i hope I havent bored you to much, please free to ask any questions and check back as we have only really just started especially with the sativa ladies

Good luck with your grows!

Nice man they really look healthy!
Im seriously considering upgrading to a 400W cooltube myself and ive got a couple questions:
What space are you working with (under the 400)?
How far away from the tops/ how close can you keep the cooltube?
and also what extractor fan are you running for the cooltube?
Thanks,

Is that some San Pedros i spot in the middle of the jungle?

Keep the updates coming,
good luck

Peace

Hey good to see you tokabowl!

My space is 85cm(33inchs) by 50cm(19inchs) and 165cm(65inchs) tall.

At the moment the plant tops are about 8 inch's away from the tube, They can get closer in flower sometime i have had them at about 3 inch's without burning but you can bleach the tops. i find 6 inch's to 8 inch's about best because it gives a reasonable spread of light as well as intensity.

The extractor fan i am using is made by ruck a swiss company i think, Its 350m3h or 210cfm. The fan and cooltube i am using are 5 inch diameter. I extract up into the loft where i have a home made carbon scrubber connected at the end of the ducting.

Yes My san pedro likes being in there even if the humidity is a little low for her. Two of her limbs are about a foot tall and one is closer to a foot and a half

Thanks a lot, that pretty much confirms what i wanted to hear. I am working with nearly the same area but the only difference is i only have a ruck100 (4" / 175m3h), not the ruck125 5"/250m3h... Do you think that'll be enough?
Thanks for the info, should be getting the cooltube soon

Edit - How long do the San Pedros take to mature, how big do they have to be to be consumed?

Really not sure on the fan, Mine is a 125L for sum reason it moves more air than a normal one, i havent seen it for sale since though. My ges is it will be fine if you dont put any filters on but check out the 400w club in the soil forum if you cant find the info there ask, i am sure someone will no for sure.

As far as i know with the san pedro i think about a foot/35cm long and 7 cm in diameter would be a correct dose. My plant is more like 5-6cm diameter so maybe a bit more would be needed. I believe they vary in strength greatly. I bought a section for eating and chose one with the grow tip still on. I didnt end up eating the bit i bought as it was rather dry but i got the tip so was fine with it. Best info on the subject i think is on erowid.Few others on here with them too.

Harry Gypsna · 11-26-2006, 12:22 AM

Hey there nielspotshop......
the fan u mention that moves more air-is it an RVK? I use RVK fans and some of them have 2 motor sizes for each size of fan, like the 6 inch one, theres the 150A1 whichs moves 420M3/Hr and then theres the 150L1 which ive got and that moves 680M3/Hr.
Nice cactus mate...
