My Grow setup

[BuzzBob56]

Huzzah!!

I see that SCROG gett'n jammed with Frosty Buds!!!

 

[ozzieAI]

wow...just realised what light and how many watts you are using in that tiny space....

please tell you didn't pay that price listed on that light...


you did right tying that bitch down hard...now flower....

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

That light cost me AU$1600 shipped.


I will give it another 5 days and then flip to flower.

can you cut out the profile of the light and lift the actual light out of that tent...so body if led fixture outside and with leds inside???

you are wayyyyyy over powered.....good plants need good balance...

good luck...

 

[jaded1]

Looking good in there Frosty.I wouldn't wait too long before flipping that plant as that strain has some plants than will triple in height during stretch.

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Thanks for the replies.
I can't raise the light any higher as the exhaust fan and carbon filter are in the way.
Nice light ozzieAI but I am stuck with what I have.
I just want the scrog net filled out a bit more before I flip to flower.

 

[ozzieAI]

i see the top of your tent and how you have everything rigged up...you should be able move the fan and filter outside tent, so rather than sucking through filter you blow through it....this will give you some much needed headroom...

is this your first grow?

be aware that the plant will stretch a fair bit and from memory BB is sativa dominant....

wishing you good vibes...

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Thanks ozzieAI, the way I have everything rigged up right now makes it too difficult to move the fan and filter.
This is my first grow in a tent, I once grew a plant in an old cardboard fiber drum with 5x 20W CFL and grew a plant 150mm tall x 150mm wide that formed one solid bud, got 2oz.

LOL....i got a mate growing in an old washing machine cardboard box atm...if it works, it works....

the main issue is the amount of wattage v space...

currently you have about 100 watts/square foot: as a reference a neighbour uses 2 x 260 watt leds in a 120 x 120 x 200 cm (4x4x8) tent @ 32.5 watts/square foot and gets a consistent 1.8g/watt or a tad under 2 pounds/harvest...so you could triple your grow space...or if you go by the led manufacturer then 4 times bigger...

what i am interested to see with your grow is how close the plant will allow itself to stretch towards the light...and suspect, like you first grow, you'll have squat solid buds that will fill your screen...

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Thanks ozzieAI, if I get 1 gram per watt I will be very happy.


I just set the timer for 12/12 so tomorrow will be the start of flower.

She's big, if she gets too big I will have to cut her back.

Wowsers!! She's filled out!!

Looks like you might be able to SCROG out a couple branches, and maybe pull in that back one towards/down into the middle area? Perhaps get viscous, and snap her stem back there? I've never done SuperCropping { intentionally }, but maybe...

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Weekly update pic;

She's grown a fair bit in the last week, the stretch is on, she is already showing pistils too, at this rate I will have to cut her back soon, I cut out some lower branches as best I could, it's difficult for me to get down there due to injuries and impossible for me to get to the back.

 

[bibi40]

She filling nice your space !


Nice work

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Thanks.


I am going to try some gibberellic acid to reduce stretch, I once overdosed a plant on it and it grew to 15cm tall with no internode spacing, one big solid bud.

 

[ozzieAI]

i was wondering how you were going to manage the stretch...i was inclined to think that the actual light intensity would slow the growth upwards...

you could end up with a 60 x 60 cm square bud at harvest...that would be cool to see...

 

[gatts]

Frosty, have you thought about a decent defoliation again to get better air circulation and perhaps improve your predicament?

I'm not a fan of GA and prefer hard pruning.

I've tried to remove what is below the scrog net but it is impossible for me due to injuries from a car accident.


I sprayed with gibberellic acid again last night, I will see when the light comes on tonight whether I need to prune for height.

Sorry to hear that Brother.

Will be interesting to see your pics of the changes going forward.

How they smelling?
