What size of light are you using?

Hey bro i am using a 600 HPS at the moment but most likely go back to the 1000 watts still unsure yet 600 should do a good job but 1000 will give me bigger yield if i put the 1000 watts up ill need to cut the milk crate in half so i can keep the 1000 watts at least 14" away thanks for dropping in

Very nice setup.. Along with some excellent genetics.. im strapped in..

Awesome bro welcome along for the ride hope you enjoy the show feel free to drop in anytime

I hope you don't have to use the pgr to keep her from stretching too much. Nothing wrong with it just rather you not have to use it to tame her lol. She's gonna have some big huge buds man I swear I'm starting my beast soon. It's come down to GG#4 and Platinum Delights. I think it will be Platinum Delights since I know her so well. Keep up the great work bro. Can't wait to that girl start putting out

Yeah not 100% sure i want to use the PGR the net really seems to be helping as i have tucked the nodes in to the net to stop them stretching up seems to be working thinking i might need to trim under her again to remove some of the sucker buds and put all the focus in to the main colas some of the nodes spacing are insane going to make for some crazy tight buds

Yes bro please get the beast going go with the Platinum delight because you know the strain it will make for a very very successful run your going to run her in the same tent right along side the others... ? in the 3k flower tent... ? thanks for dropping in bro

Looking good @DirtyNerd
Hopefully you won't have to use the pgr's.
Also I'm was curious what you PH your clones and seedlings at and during the early parts of Veg. Thanx in advance.

When i use rockwool i always start the per-soak at 5.5 as rockwool has a high PH and it takes my PH up to around 5.8-6.0 and i keep my PH in veg at 5.8 and move it up to 6.2 in late flower

when i start clones in jiffy i soak them at 6.0 PH and it works everytime jiffy are the faster way to clone in my eyes always root with in 5-7 days

Beans came,

No seizure, is it normal for some seeds to be tiny?

Yeah size doesn't matter so my partners says.... wait what lol know the seed size doesn't matter long as they are dark its all good i had a small seed turn out to be twins just store them in a dry dark place like a cupboard if storing for a long time put them in the fridge

Yea I'm gonna run it in the 3k flower tent. I haven't really had the time to fill the tent up but I will this time. Got lots of seeds getting popped and already got some strains sexed and into bigger pots for nice long veg then flower. Was thinking of doing staggered harvest a month apart but I'm gonna switch everything up after this major run. I'll use the two tents I have for flower then just put up some Mylar and tarp a nice section of the garage for veg. I'll prolly scale the veg lights back down some so most of the watts will be in the flower tents. Was thinking of getting about 5 or 6 432watt 8bulb t5 for veg since I'll be running those longer than flower might as well try to conserve as much energy as possible. Still haven't fully decided what I want to do but I know I would rather have both the tents I have full with flowering plants lol.

I think I will put the Platinum Delights in the hydro system. Just the thought of having close to a pound of those buds is really making me do it. It's gonna be close to that amount maybe less as she's not the greatest yielded but she's not like the mom either tho much better. Only have one cut if going right now and she's in dirt so once some babies are able to be taken from her I'll get it going. Thanks for always helping me and encouring me bro. Appreciate it keep it up your gonna tame that girl well.

 

[DirtyNerd]

Yeah staggered harvest is awesome bro i did it that once and it worked out well pulling once a month is nice but i gave away my big tent so i was forced to down size but would love to do it again as it worked so well half tent full then a month later fill the other half and its the never ending story 6..... 432 watts damn bro that's some crazy shit

how about just 2x1000 metal halide with the china hat shade foot print plus light penetration is good and think the growth rate would be faster i could be wrong as i have seen some huge plants done under t5 in veg

Platinum Delights is dank weed as shes not the best yield putting her in hydro is going to bump that up a little and give you a lot of great weed bro you must have so so many strains at the moment i just want to pop beans all the time but now with limited space i am only going to run the blue dream i didn't do any clones of the black Russian as this is her last run its all about the blue dream some of the best weed i have ever smoked and i just enjoy the high really happy high

bro always here to help and i know your the same its always good to have someones brain to pick i always appreciate your support and watching your grow so don't stop doing what your doing!

Thanks mang,

 

[Screaming trees]

I keep hearing about these Bodhi seeds and how good their genetics are. Have you heard anything about them?

That's what's I'm begging with now but I was thinking I could have more space to veg grow them nice and big and just flower in both tents. It's only 400 more watts than what I'm using now and I'm sure it will help my electricity bill even tho I'm not worried about that at all but I jus want to flower more plus it should help keep the heat down as with vegging with 2 1000watters is making some nice heat in this garage. That's the main reason I was thinking of doing that still have the same wattage but with less energy and heat and have a lil more room to veg.

I don't know just pondering but I'm having trouble keeping the garage cool. No ac in there and there's nowhere to exhaust heat so I can't add an ac in there so it's a pain right now but not bad but I know when the temps outside hit 90+ everyday is gonna be a problem. Will see if I can add a couple tower fans in the garage to help cool it down. Only thing that sucks with my new house garage has no windows or vent to exhaust the heat out. Wish I could leave the door from the kitchen to garage open all the cool air in the house would help keep it cool just fine but Mrs not having it lol.

Lots of strains going right now bro hard to keep up with all of them sometime but I'm loving it tho. Happy to have the space to pop lots of beans but most of the stuff I'm growing are testers so it takes away from the beans I've bought and traded for but I'll get to those soon. That Blue Dream is top smoke bro nothing wrong with focusing on her and getting he most out of her for a while. Still wish I had mines. Still haven't got he real deal yet but waiting for it. Sorry for long rant bro lol

I keep hearing about these Bodhi seeds and good their genetics are. Have you heard anything about them?

Bodhi is one of the best breeders out there hands down bro. I test for him and just finished a Chem 3 x 88g13/hp cross that's super fire and very stinky. All my bro keeps saying when he smells it is straight gas lol. Bodhi has lots of great strains crosses with lanraces, elites, hybrids and poly hybrids. You can't go wrong with his gear bro.

Nice! Now I need to find a good 8 weeker by them.

 

[akhiymjames]

Nice! Now I need to find a good 8 weeker by them.

Something from the 88g13/hp line. Everything I've seen crossed to this male is finishing very fast 7-9 weeks which isn't the normal for most Bodhi strains. His gear usually goes a minimum of 9-10 weeks. My Chem 3 x 88g13/hp finished in 8-9 and very good. Anything past that and it will be putting me to sleep fareal lol. Hope this helps bro. Peace

Your right, I did notice a lot were longer then 8 weeks. I can handle squeezing a little over 56 days but not to far with all the projects I have going constantly. And YES that did help. Thank you very much! Now it's time to find some place to grab them discreetly

 

[taGyo]

What do you guys think of Rare Dankness?

 

[Mohican]

I like the Scott's OG. I have a Longs Blue Peak I am going to try next.

Thinking about spending another 150 on straight RD beans.

Well technically it's a blog journal but I put it in the journal section lol. I'm not gonna do anything specific in it. Just what ever I'm feeling for the day. Makes it interesting.

All good bro long rants are always good yeah the t5 sound like a good plan because in summer its going to be hard if you had 3 hps and 2 mh 5000 watts going the heat would be crazy also its great your getting all the testers good to learn and give feed back and you will always get more if they are happy with the test results.

i couldn't believe my eyes when i went to check on the beast before i flushed her last night and then added a fresh mix holy shit when i went to clean the res after the flushed water come out and i turned the tap off again filled the fresh mix but didn't open the tap up again and yes i flooded my tent so (note to self don't flush stoned)

Going well bro didn't enjoy the flood the smoke is nice on the one i harvested very fruity its a good before bed smoke as it knocks you around and bro once you start collecting seeds its like crack once you pop you can't stop! till your teeth are all rotting and you will suck anything for your next seed only joking but its hard as there is so many awesome strains out there and you just want to try them all
