It can be argued that once a flower is pollinated, it directs the majority of its energy into forming seeds instead of creating trichomes.

I beleave that 85-95% cause all my plants i seeded out the bottom branches are no where near their counterparts potency that havent been pollinated , like my girl scout cookies they were frosty as hell befor i pollinated then now they are focusing on seed production.

Should a 150 watt hps be enough to keep a few small plants in veg during this flower season? I am going to put a few under so they dont bud out short will hps work for this?
Thanks in advance haha

I use regular 7watt LED bulbs turned on for 2 hours in the middle of the night and it keeps plants in veg just fine...HPS is overkill IMO

Yeah that should work u don't need much I jus bring mine in when sun goes down only using fluorescent about 100 watts

Should work great. You don't want them to grow too fast.

Thank you all for your feedback . I got a 60 watt day spot im using to re veg this foot tall jawa pie clone i got from a buddie and its working for that small plant . I just wanted something bright enough so i can put 3 or 4 under to stop from them budding , i got the 150watt hps for 70$ with free shipping so its not that bad of a deal

One of my pretty wicked is starting to flower , so im squeeze that amd jawa pie under my 60w day spot untill my hps arives in the mail

Similarly to waterproof808 I use 8 or 9 watt LED lights spaced 10 ft. apart and have them turned for an hour in the middle of the night (and at 6:30 in the morning in the wintertime) and that works fine to keep them vegging. It doesn't take much light to keep them vegging.

heres a pic of the jawa pie #1 that i got to re veg with my 60w day spot it was almost 2 weeks in flower when i got it and had lots of trichomes on the leafs now there isnt much trichomes on the new growth so its working , i can probably fit a few 4-5 footers under the hps when i get it

Are you offgrid? I only mentioned HPS would be overkill because of how expensive electricity is here. You can cover a lot bigger area using string lights with low wattage LED's, accomplishes the same thing and saves you some watt hours. A 150w HPS has barely a 4x4 foot print and uses a lot more electricity, which cuts in to your production costs.

8 8 watt LEDs spaced 10' apart. 25 plants. The rack the tarp is on is 7' tall for size reference. See attachment

Yeah im off grid solar and genorater , would only be using the hps when the genorater is running for 2 hours or so after dark , and the genorater is alway on at that time , what kind of leds are u using got a up close picture

 

[waterproof808]

My led's are cree brand 8w that screw into a regular light bulb socket but you can use just about any light bulb you have on hand...the leds are nice because they use hardly any electricity and dont generate heat and also last a really long time.

U cover that everyday? But nice setup and nice plants man. I killed off some bag seeds tho lol popped the nl auto and blue dream

Also I gotta a question about colloidal silver is there a minimum ppm or a max jus bought a 250ppm online? Also my friend was taking colloidal silver internally but he gave me his bottle the thing doesn't say any ppm rating jus says mcg 50 is that same as ppm? Sorry never bred for fem seed jus regular. Mahalos and aloha

I think that means 50 micro-grams per dose. You would need to find out how many micro-grams per volume of liquid you are using would result in the parts per million your want. Might be a micro-grams to ppm conversion on Google.

never mind jus found out mcg are same as ppm. What ppm's or mcg's u guy used successfully? One forum I read guy says 30 minimum another forum says 100min

Thanks for the compliments. I cover it every night and pull it off in the morning. It's a pain.

Weigh out 5 ml of that CS. It'll probably weigh about 5 grams. If it does then it would be 10 ppm CS per ml.

Edit: actually you can weigh out however many ml's. If 1 ml = 1 gram which it probably will, then it's 10 ppm CS per ml.

I jus ask cuz that's why I gave up my hoop house and wasn't even a 1/4 of the size.

Thanks man good info

Actually, you don't need to weigh it. It's 99.999999% water. It's going to weigh a gram per ml so just figure 10 ppm CS per ml.
