Hey brothers and sisters

Well today i tried to take one of the blue dreams out to flush was that a mistake i was so lucky she didn't break i didn't think the tops were so heavy but when i lifted the net off her she went kamikaze i was so lucky none of the stems broke and had to hug her to hold her together and what a great smell!

When you touch her wow i was blown away i never touch the girls in flower as they say the oil from our hands can be bad for them but i was happy i did the smell is a amazing super strong blueberry i think she will give the bubblegum a run for her money buds are very hard and so so sticky like i have glue on my hands

so in other words i will not be moving the net till the girls are ready to come out i can't move them anymore way to top heavy sucks that i tired to move as now i had to put up about 15 stings to hold the girl up now real pain in the ass hopefully it didn't put her under to much stress but then again she did have some of her colas laying on the ground

anyway sorry for the random post just didn't think the girls were so top heavy but i was wrong and that's a good thing anyway full tent update tomorrow!

Yeah it was a pain in the ass I just wanted to water and get out and that's what I should of done but apart of me wanted to flush it oh well it's done now and yeah sure is a good problem to have becuase the colas are around the side of a red bull can I didn't think they looked that heavy was I wrong lol plant looked like a wacky inflatable tube man

One of the Black Russians I was thinking was going
To do crap is really packing on some fat colas and still along way to go so happy about that should be a good run

Based on how you are describing things, the 1000 might be creating much heavier buds huh?

Yeah it seems that way becuase the nets up they are all supporting one another and I haven't touched them I just water and check run off and leave them as I find the hard part is veg once the all training is done you can almost just leave and water when needed

But I would say the 1000 watts is starting to show its true potential and if things keep going and they keep putting on mass this is going to be a very rewarding run as the tent is full there is no more room it's at the max

I'm thinking of taking the plunge into the world of the 1000's! I'm running 3 600's at the moment. 1 for chapter 2 and two more for my prototyping. Gotta build a new room this summer and maybe give the 1000's a go.

Yeah it can't hurt to try the real test will be the final dry weight I wish I placed the plants in different spots in the tent but as I was running all new strains I had no clue what kind of phenotypes I would get the only thing I noticed with the black russian was the buds were a bit airy but they should hardern up in the coming weeks

With the octagons are you are you running a 600 each how are they for heating and cooling ..?

Yup...1 600 per octagon. Temps are not really an issue but mainly because my basement is like 68 degrees and its more than 2000 sq/ft so it stays cool even in summer. Only an issue in the winter when its balls cold. I suppose I can release my V2 octagon today. Too bad I doubt I'll use it...on to V3 already.

Shit your a busy man I hope this project leads to goods things for you your really putting in the hard yards you should break your basement in to. Three part putting up two walls to divide each have one room for babies/drying one for veg and one for flower

You read my mind. Will be building a new room...16x12 tentatively. I'm kind of waiting for your reports on using fem spray before I pick my avenue...clones or my own fem seeds.

All good bro I will keep you posted and let you know how it goes I made up my mind I'll only be testing it on one super skunk plant it's PPM 50 hopefully it works I'll be doing a full report in a note pad to keep track of it so if I am successful I'll help with any info you might need

Can you comment on your bulb distance with this 1000 vs what it would be if you were running a 600? Are you air cooling it?

 

[DirtyNerd]

Light is around 18 inches from the tops as i needed it high to keep the light coverage also its not air cooled i just have it on the bat wing shade i don't like the tubes they cut to much of the light out and light coverage is shit!

I did at one stage have the 1000 watts around 12 inches from the tops and they seemed to love it but i didn't want to risk it plus the other plants on the outside didn't get good lighting so it needed to go up i found the 600 could stay around 12 inches from the top with out any trouble at all

So in other words you can have the 600 a lot closer with out any plant damage but i still believe the 1000 watts is going to make heavier buds and longer buds as it can penetrate better then a 600

Its descendants are really impressive; compact plants yet well-branched (especially outdoors) making it one of the great Indica yielders. Furthermore, it offers a salad of tastes and smells ranging from tropical fruit to hints of sweet aromatic candy.
