Bac fertilizer-line
Bac funky funghi mixed thru the soil
ph water is 6,5 till 7.. so a little higher than normal
i expect to get my new HPS lamp soon... I will place this little yield increaser (250 watt) when the first pistels start to show (day 1 flowering)
I have many new plans, an I finished my outdoor .. about 100-150 gr total (high quality bubblicious, not 1 drop rain has touched a plant)
but because im still highly active on the main dutch forum (wietforum.nl), so i will only post my main grow here, and i will continue using the same topic...
heres the cabbie now
the 2nd day 12/12 (3x herijuana and 3x black jack)
I've got 1 big container 25L.
there are 6 plants in it.
in front 2 herijuana's
in the middle 1 Black Jack mom (left/middle) and 1 Black Jack cutting (right)
in the back on the left 1 Black Jack cutting, and on the right a herijana.
With the fluors the plants can grow about 40cm but i keep them short... it saves growing time
today i got my 250 watt HPS bulb.. little trouble keeping my cab cool this afternoon..
in the nick of time I ran off to the nearest radio shack and bought the biggest double 12V big-ass fan to cool the bulb..
max temp is now 28,6... phew
with that bulb the plants can grow about 20-30 cm high i think...
I shall have to scrog/trim in order to keep em so short.
but in the furture i wil get a lower container, so the plants can get higher under the HPS.
I sure do love the smell of the 2 strains i'm growing now.. heavy and even heavier
I greatly recommend Herijuana as a Scrog plant..
she just lies down in position to get scrogged.. grows almost horizontal..
Black Jack is a BITCH to scrog.. very short internodes and leafs standing in a 45 degree angle to the stern is not easy to scrog without strapping a leaf with the stern.. this sucks..
but hopefully the BJ will surprise me under my new HPS.
I would probably go for a bigger closet with a 250W? I don't think you'll be able to pull the same g/W with that light in such a small area. Obviously if you can keep the temps down and don't have an option for a larger area then go for it - I'm sure the extra yield would still be worth a lot more than the electric bill.
i am thinking of a bigger closet...
but i havent really got the time, and when i get the time i havent got the money haha
the bigger closet wil come.. but i think at its earliest in 2008
i have the temp under control now..
min 19 degrees celcius and max 27,5 degrees celcius..
it was a harsh battle with numerous modifications but i've won.. and learned a whole lot about air extraction an insertion..
theres a positive side in each negative issue..
teah your probably right about the gram per watt i said couple of posts ago
I really cant expect a gr/watt this time i know...
butt in any case I will be self-providing
that means i will save money.. and that means i can buil a bigger cabinet
step by step like i always do
even though we have coffeeshops in holland.. the prices are getting higher and higher..
and the mass production weed isnt that sweet as my " full"o"love smoke"
homegrown just tastes better! im sure everyone agrees
I think it's gonna be ok. Remember that your hps will have quite a bit more penetration than the flouros and your wattage for the area is high, so if you want to make the most of it you should have a little longer buds above the screen anyway. It's looking really good in there.
yeah black one
thats exactly whut i wa splanning to do this cycle.. the SCROG is 95% full.
at this point i will quit scroggin' let them go up..
because that's the big advantage of hps.. the penetration..
Black Jack is already 3 days in flowering and the herijuana started yesterday..
both have a flowering period of 7- 8 weeks so i think i'll harvest them between week 8 and 9...
so I will be sure the taste is at its best and the yield at its max!
i had some problems..
due to a new nute-line.. BAC (actually it is due to my stupidity!)
nothing bad about BAC.. it really is the best i've ever used!
it is the first time i'm using it and first i gave them too little nutes,
and then i gave too much at once..
some burned spots and stripes are the result.. and some blackjacks still not turned perfectly green..
but I stabilized the situation..
This is the 5th day of flowering.. (the 12th day at (12/12)
