400w HPS DR80 Air Pot grow!
- Thread starter Thundurkel
- Start date
I've got 13 ladies total and the round pots are just 2.5L pots that rose bushes come in that I found a stack of on pile week hahaha never had a space big enough to use em in till now! But I'm going to get some smart pots to use in place of those next round.. The square pots are 2.75L I got them at the hydro shop and they were too damn expensive compared to the 1 square pot I bought from Greenfire at 65 cents a pot! The ones from Constantly Growing were 2.50 I think shit blew me away

Damn thats crazt exspensive. I have mine in 4 gallon round containers that i got for 50 cents each from a nursery down the street! I was lookin at those smart pots they sound AWESOME. its like the airpots but instead of the roots getting air-pruned at only the wholes on the sides of the airpots, the smart pots have them everywhere...air-pruning everything. pretty stoked to get my air pots on wednesday though. I only ordered 4 3.4 gallon ones so im gonna veg my clones for a while before they get flowered to try and filll that tent!
On a side note, do you know anything more about those Sun Pulse Start bulbs and the HPMH bulbs and stuff? I guess the K level gives the different color spectrums of light right? I see the bulbs are available in 3, 4, 6.4. 10, 14, and 20k. I that what you mean when say your MH bulb is 10k? sorry for the newb questions lol just trying to get on the same level as ya haha

Hahahahaha you know I can't! I know TOO much about spectrum and photosynthesis active radiation aka PAR so it's all about tweaking the spectrum baby!!! I'm even going to be cool enough to post the article I read last night which was pretty damn good about Sun Pulse bulbs
Exactly! yea I was shocked when they showed up and I opened the box to find not only 1 but 2 of these Reef Grow 400w MH bulbs and then I saw the bulbs had 10000K printed on them and I was like wtf? Sure as shit though when that bitch warmed up it was super daylight in that bitch talk about vibrant greens and shits. So like I said when I read about the Sun Pulse system using a 10000K bulb in the cycle I was hella excited to do the same.
Ok since I can't stay outta my tent with a camera here's some shots from today hahaha
The tent on day 3 of flowering and fuck me are they growing fast! yea I see the light the now with HID but I'm still gonna tweak the spectrum till I get all the Sun Pulse bulbs...
Bubba Kush x Deep Chunk I can't wait to see this girl grown under HID cuz I had it pretty purple in my cab plus I was told it's a good yielder too(Thanks again to the IC member that gifted me this strain)
Blue Dream in bottom left corner T.Goo above with T.Goo above that and to the right of B Dream is Bubba Kush x Deep Chunk
3 Thunder Goo ladies in Air Pots
Fixed my CFLs got a 42w and 26w in the Y socket with no reflector and it's inches from the tops of my girls
Flubba x Blue Moonshine
Thunder Goo just fucking growing super fast! I'm hoping for a oz or 2 from that and if I can get 12-14g in a 20oz bottle of coco flowered at 4" I should be able to get a zip in a gal of coco in a air pot right? Well until next time folks I'm off to smoke some ATF I got from the club that I think came from a cut that came from me originally and it's Thunder Goo!!! I know my strain anywhere and this shit looks and smells just like it just it was done outdoors. I know I had traded a friend some TGoo cuts for meds and I thought it was ATF at that time so that's what he had been vending the cuts as! So I'm a good 95% sure this shit came from my mom! Trippy huh? Think I'm crazy?
Anyway I'm off to get lit have a nice night and Happy Growing Everybody!!!

Those 2g smartpots are perfect for the tent sizes we run, that's exactly what I use. You can fit 3x3 comfortably in the DR-60. They'll support some pretty beefy bushes, I'm learning. I haven't even pushed 'em yet.

Oh yea it is I have some more pics too!
Here's my Thunder Goo's in square 2.5L pots looking beautiful wouldn't ya say?
We have some more Thunder Goo's these of course are in Air Pots, as you can see one is out of her pot cuz when I was rotating my plants that one happened to fucking come apart! I was able to pick it up without damaging things ....
Air Pot root porn at day 5 of flowering and only vegged for a few days so it'll be cool to see when they finish! Notice how the roots up top seemed to flock together up there? I see how it was upside down for sure cuz the holes being bigger up top caused the roots to do that. I don't think it's going to hurt me anyway but I will have them together the right way next time

I'm using the same similar set-up.. Was wondering if the darkroom is worth the money... I could use the extra space compared to my box.
Excellent work man. Those plants are peakin' out. Very interesting with the upside down airpot. Anyway, can't wait to see more!
Well considering my whole setup with light pots medium ect was about $650 this first harvest will double the money I spent if not tripple it hahahaha
Alright well today is day 8 of flowering and I have some day 7 shots to share, normally I'd label everything but we all know what I'm running if you've read from the beginning if not stop being lazy hahahah I'll track things more proper when the flowers start showing up
I will comment on this one though cuz see the dry stem in the pic? well thats holding up the super cropped Bubba Kush x Blue Moonshine I needed to put in check hahaha and keep the canopy even
until next time ladies and jointelmen lol Happy Growing you fucking skumbags I love you all!
