How tall were those two?
Hi Big Raw,
Really, thats a nice size cola for a low power setup. Same light with the CFls too huh, Cool thanks for the info. Those girls have some small buds but they have a while to grow yet. I would love to get 1/2 oz per plant under that but I am afraid I just don't see that in my grow. I have eight or nine in there. Started flowering at third set of leaves.
Thanks for stopping by.
Summary of grow:
First grow 2x4 cabinet.
Ceramic Metal Halide 400 watt bulb.
Flower Nutrients Fox Farm Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom and Bloombastic
Average nutrient level 650 PPM
Average PH 6.0
Average temps 82°
Strain:
Green House Seeds Train Wreck, feminized seeds.
White widow seeds from hermaphrodite plant previous grow.
Conclusion of grow:
Aeroponics blows away growing in Hydroton. Plants grow about 25% faster and more important they are super healthy.
I will convert the small cab once flower is done.
I think I did OK with this first grow. Yes, I found out 4 weeks veg in this system will grow 16" tall plants.
Flower them and they finish about 42"
TW is a fast growing strain, side branches kept up and even passed the main top. I think this is a perfect strain for scrog.
CFL's were needed. I believe there was more growth on the back side of the buds but If I kept them shorter they
would have had more HID Lighting.
I believe the widow was a mistake and if I had grown just the train wreck and used a screen I would have had a better yield.
Smaller buds then WW but more of them. Next time I grow WW it will be just WW nothing else.
Next grow will be five Train Wreck and three or four Purple Kush.
I got a handle on there growth patterns from the previous and current grow in the small cab.
Kush is a short plant, it will go in the center and the TW on the sides, I will train the TW across the screen and let the kush grow up through it.
The new bulb arrived yesterday, I got the ventilation parts I needed and the reflectors done.
I hope to have it ready by tomorrow.
OK, Its Show Time!
I took a bunch of pictures.
Before I start a couple shots.
Cut the two end plants to check size against the others.
Cut the rest of the TW
OK we still got the Widow left.
See Ya!
Got the widow trimmed and off to the right.
Flash on.
Here is widow main cola on top of TW pile of buds.
Here is a shot of everything, TW, WW and popcorn buds of both in the pile lower right.
Train
Widow
I got it all hanging now, except the smallest nugs. My guess as far as yield goes is 4 oz. there was a lot of buds that didn't get the light they should have. More is not always better. I am shooting for 6 next round.
I will have weight in a week.

Looking awesome bro!!! Look at all that frosty goodness!! I was reading some of ur earlier stuff and for sure i should have picked the roots off the block. When i look at the comparison of ur two pics i really wish i had.

Looks like a nice harvest you got there Cruzer. I'm sure you'll hit your guess weight. But we'll see when you post the dry weight. I just weighed my single plant outdoor harvest and it was just over 7oz., but 2.25oz had bud mold and I'm checkin into solutions to use it for currently, any ideas?

Hey Dank,
Yea it was the widow I picked the roots away from the cube. I believe it did give it a bit of a jump start but thats not what made it so big man, Its the genetics of the plant that determines size from what I understand.
Good luck with your grow, and thanks for stopping by.
Thats one hell of a plant man. 7 oz? Must have been a monster.
Mold? hum. I had some mold before, not much but I lost a couple buds and that sucked. I ended up making bubble hash out of it.
As far as prevention the only thing I can think of for out door would be to plant in an area that gets a good breeze to help dry the morning dew.
Then when you go to dry it snip off parts of the main cola so air gets there.
Or just cut it all up and dry on a screen. Thats all I can think of. Good luck.
Thanks for your input.
Ha ha ha, I told you I had buds in there.
Its just a small area and hard to get descent pics from one angle.
I don't know if I would have without your help.
Thanks again.
Trichs on the upper buds were a bit farther along then I thought.
I would say it was more like 90/10 the buds in the back had more amber.
Table? Fucking thing stuck to the wall when I put it away.
Yea, I got more popcorn buds then I would have liked. Redenbocker ant got shit on me.
Oh I got plenty to bubble. Come on up. Bring your Mango bud.
Hey Boomer,
Yea man,
I took off the kettle tossed it, bent the arms straight up and turned it upside down.
First time its been used in years. Ha!
(I got a new one)
Anyway, yea dude, I seen your last post. You blow my shit away. That shed is loaded with massive colas.
Your lady is pretty cool dude. Good lookin too. I just wish I had some room to grow. They would never make it to finish in my yard. I got to many neighbors who would help themselves to the whole lot. not just a few colas.
So until I figure out something better I got my cabinets that lock tight.
Ya know, I just got to thinking how easy bolt cutters snap a master lock.
I hope you thought of that now you got your shit in there.
Well it took a while but I got it done.
Tore everything out, cleaned it and put back together better then it was.
That tub works fine, I was right, the roots did find there way into the drain.
Heres some shots.
Pulled this out of the drain on the left, Not much in the drain on the right.
What a long fucking day. Yesterday was a lot more fun.
After washing everything out and putting it back together I installed new brackets above the fan and mounted it.
Got rid of the cardboard and vented the light correctly with dryer ducting. Installed the reflector and got it on those yo yo's.
Thats the new bulb, Son Agro 400 watt HPS you can tell by the yellow color.
Tomorrow I will transplant the girls.
I want them to get used to that much light before I start them on nutes.
