250 Watt MH Grow with *PICS*

[tom__420]

Alright so my bulbs are supposed to get here tomorrow and I can't wait to fire up the HPS over my plants! There are hairs on every bud starting to turn brown now so I am hoping for an explosion in growth in the next couple days. I'm gonna throw some pics up tomorrow or tuesday so I'll be back then. Hope everyone enjoys the super bowl today

uuuhhhmmmmm.....you know the trich's is what you wanna be watching right? Not the hairs.

 

[winkdogg420]

i still dont have a scope but i doubt this high times illustration is totally wrong??? plus like i said i speed dried a few nugs at that point i think they are great!!


plus if you notice the hairs change with the trichs! so if all the hair is brown the trichs will all be amber too!

im not to sure on this i am going by the pic for this harvest unless i get the scope thing soon!!

you are right, they change with the trich's but the trich's is what actually gives you the variance in high.
Just don't rush, make sure if you watch hairs, you look at the hairs as a whole on the plant. Not just the tops. Good luck, i'll be chopping soon too, so i don't know all the in's and out's 100%. Can't wait to see the final weight on these, and read the smoke report.

 

[winkdogg420]

i think i will have to chop the tops on mine then the bottoms will mature more but if i leave the tops they will be to old by the time the bottoms catch up. remember you only have 7 days or so of "peak" thc so if the buds on top are done you cant just leave them for two weeks while the bottoms finish ya know?

 

[tom__420]

I have a scope so I am going to start looking at the trichs soon. The hairs are still turning brown but I am going to wait it out. I will have some pics up tomorrow

the shooting eye on my small digital cam should fit pretty well up to the eyepiece!

Alright so I just took some pics of everything. The HPS bulbs are due to arrive tomorrow so as soon as they come I will be setting that up. The 12/12 seedling is starting to show new growth everyday though she is still small. The plants in veg are getting a little stretched out so I cut a clone off of one of them and put it in a homemade bubble cloner out of a water bottle haha. I'm hoping this clone will strike roots in the next week. I fed the veg plants a half dosage of big bloom and grow big today so I will let you all know how they take to it. Here's some pics for everyones viewing pleasure (i know some of the pics are a little blurry sorry)
Pics #1- 3: some bud porn
Pics #4+5: 12/12 seedling
Pic #6: shot of big female and 12/12 seedling in the flower box
Pic #7+8: The veg plants with clone in front of pic 8

[winkdogg420]

that lil clone should be pretty happy!

 

[tom__420]

Yeah I'm hoping it will show roots quickly cause the air pump I have puts out a lot of air. There is a ton of bubbles confined in that little water bottle haha

Tom

 

[tom__420]

So today is a good day not only because my HPS bulbs just got here but also because the 12/12 seedling shot out a set of white pistils last night! So I took some quick pics, here you go everyone. The first two are with the MH bulb in and the last two are shots with the HPS bulb in.

looks great tom.
Hey it looks like theres something laying on the bulb, a strap or something, hope you moved that!!LOL!!!

 

[winkdogg420]

i think it just looks like that its a sensor for a thermometer get that sucker off of the light reflector put it near the surface of the soil! i know its not really touching if it was it would be melted!

 

[tom__420]

It's not on the reflector, it just looks that way in the picture. I got everything under control, that temp sensor is cool where it is which is about 3 inches below the glass. Thanks for pointing that out though guys

ok, that makes sense. It doesn't even look like there is glass on there.

 

[tom__420]

Haha yeah I see where you are coming from lil. I just cleaned the glass when I switched over to the HPS bulb that's why it looks like it isn't there. I've been designing a bigger grow box that I will be making out of plywood in the next couple weeks. I'm planning for it to be 3 feet wide, 2 feet deep, and 4 1/2 feet tall. I'll let you guys know how the box is coming along once I get farther than these drawings haha.
