Hi everyone

This time around i decided to try something new.

picked up some seeds from the dampkring grow shop in Amsterdam this summer.
Strain is Alegria from Kiwi seeds. A 75% indica and 25% sativa that originates from sunny spain!! One of the best tasting strains i have ever smoked, and strong too

.

My setup is a plywood cab mesuring 90 x 90 x 160 cm. 400w hps, digital ballast, All-Mix soil and canna nutes.

Plants are about 28 days from seed and are getting a light dose of canna vega, cannazym and rizotonic. There is a single Kali Haze in the batch that i will bloom with the alegria if it turns out to be a female.

And my new toy!!! GIB digital ballast (both for HPS and MH

)

sweeeet setup and those plants loook beautiful!! are you plannin on pickin up a MH bulb for vegging?

ICETOKER · 09-18-2007, 03:18 PM

Thanks dope!! No i hadn´t given that a thought as i am currently using a Hps bulb with increased blue in the spectrum, and also there is not much left of veg.(>3 weeks).

On the other hand i have always wanted a MH for veg but thought it was a little expensive to buy a new ballast but hey!!! Now i dont so i just might...... What do you think?

Hi ICETOKER,

nice healthy plants you've got! never heard of the strain but some spanish are really killer ^^
IMO, you don't need to spend money for an mh if you've got some hps grolux or HPS X, and you let short veg period ( <1month)
If you plan to have a lots of crops in the future, than mh would be great, because you ll have to buy new bulbs any way....

All the best

siiick I'll take a seat

oh well the increased blue spectrum should definitely help, but as titoon said, if you're gonna be growing for awhile it may be worth picking up a MH and increasing the life of both bulbs

good luck!

Nice basic setup mate! J ROC your always right before me bro.

At last i manage to snap a couple of shots with a dirty lens(the youngest son has greasy fingers..lol) of the girls @ day 3 of flower. Notice the small one in the near left corner, i did repot her 4 days later than the other 3.

Smell is getting strong now. Those alegrias sure do stink bad. The kali haze ( which i doubt has that much haze in it) doesen´t smell half as strong but is a nice plant though. As i let them veg a little longer it is going to get a little cramped in the little cab i think. oh and i got a feeling that this will be my biggest harvest yet...........what do you think?
