Here's a new pic that I took tonight. this is looking down the line of 3 of the 4 plants, on the backside. I just love the beautiful dark green healthyness of girls. It really almost looks like a SOG grow, but it's not...

Damn snutter!!! those have to be the happiest lookin girls I have seen in a very long time! maybe EVER! they just love what you are doing to them man...big props on your grow.

Q: Did you mention what strain this is? I didn't see it. Also, I looked at your link for your dwc setup and are you pumping in O2 into the solution from an O2 tank or just normal air from the room?

hello Jflow.

Thank you for the props! I appreciate it!

I grow White Rhino, exclusively. I love everything about this strain. Explosive growth, huge colas, and super stony!! A very great Indica high, very low and mellow.

I get oxygen to the roots using a 20 gallon aquarium pump that I buy from PETCO or PETSMART for $9.99. That was what the box that was sitting on top of the reservoir with the hose poking in to it was supposed to represent in the picture. I guess I didn't make that very clear...

Anyways, that's how I do it. Cheap and effective.

I also listed what I use for nutes and pH in that post. So, you should have all the info you need to get a successful grow going, brutha! Good luck to you. And remember, don't be discouraged by mistakes. You will make some. We all do. It took me quite a while to get my plants to this level. But I'm happy I took the journey!!!

I hope I was able to help. take'er easy!!!

Time for a few more pics. today is week 5 of flowering. I'm getting really excited. Harvest time is just a few short weeks away. Hell yeah!!!

I'll try to get some better close ups of the buds that are forming tonight. What's cool is they are still stretching, and haven't yet started to put on true bud mass. I can't wait to see how much mass will be added to these already enormous and very long colas. I have 4 or 5 colas that I know will be at least an ounce just by themselves....and that's just too cool. Now I'm all excited. Time for a doob and some tunes. Enjoy the pics.

 

[hardroc]

Looking better than ever, keep it up man.
I just uploaded some pics of mine, check 'em out if ya got time

 

[GoldenGanja13]

Hahah. too funny!

But, you say you add molasses to your SOIL to feed microorganisms. I grow hydro. I don't see how adding molasses in to my hydro system to do anything but cause problems...

Oh so sorry not paying attention. Yes molases would be bad for hydro.

Grizzly bear??? hahahah. I take it you mean the one that has a bit of a shadow on her... Yeah, I just put her in the flower room a few days ago. So now I have 5 plants in there, but only 4 lights. BUT, not too worry... heheheheh. I'm on my way to pick up another 400W light right now. I'll have it up and running tonight. So that will be a total of 5 400W HPS lights running in my flower room. Oh man, am I having fun??? YES I AM!!! heheheh. I can't wait to get the new light in to my flower room. I am so friggin stoked right now!!! ok, I better go pick it up now. My girsl wake up in 45 minutes and I want to get it up and running as soon as they do.... See you all soon....

 

[hardroc]

ahahahah hey man you're going 400w NUTS!!!!!!!!!! That's f-ing sweet dude, it's pretty damn addictive isn't it? (growing I mean) I constantly try to improve my stuff and always frigging with stuff.
How much does 4 400's run ya in power?

 

[snutter]

actually I'll have a total of 6 400W lights running. Unfortunately, I didn' realize the plug-in at the ballast is different than the cable-plug I have that for the light socket. This is the first time I've seen this problem. All my light sockets have the exact same type of 3-prong system. This ballast brand is Xtrasun, and it's a switchable ballast, meaning it will run 120V/240V as well as MH or HPS bulbs...

I was pretty pissed when I found this out tonight. I was really excited to power it up tonight. Oh well, I'll just have to make a trip back to my local grow store tomorrow and get the right cord... Good night y'all.

 

[snutter]

sorry i forgot to mention power like you asked. Since I started growing, I've seen my power bill go up about 40 dollars a month. maybe even 50... That's an acceptable price to pay for doing what I love though. I never realized what an art there is to growing good weed, or the science behind it. It's really no where near as easy as I thought it would be... It's my favorite hobby though, that's for sure!

Oh yea...... $50 is a really cheap hobby lol, shitty about the cord, you'll have it up and running soon
peace out bro

Hey all. I took some pics tonight and decided to go ahead and post. I basically tried to take a picture of each light I have and the plant under it. One of the pictures shows 4 of the 5 lights I have in the flower room. We just added the 5th light tonight, so I was pretty excited. I wish I had a panoramic view so that I could have captured all 5 of the lights and all 5 plants. 4 of the plants are over 5 weeks in flower, and one of them is 1 week in to flowering. I can't wait to harvest the 4 so that I can get some of my others out of the veg room and in to the flower room, and get my clones more room under my veg lights. Fun fun fun!! I hope you like what you see.

Man I love looking at your bushy bitches

So I've basically turned this in to my un-official grow journal it looks like... Well that's cool with me. I'm just going to continually update this thread with my thoughts and pictures until I've harvested the 4 main girls in my grow room. Less than a month away, I believe.

I suppose I will take this opportunity to throw out my specs:

Strain: White Rhino.
Medium: Hydrton Rocks.
Growing style: DWC!
Nutes: General Hydroponics Flora Micro and Flora Bloom using Lucas Formula.
Additives: Super Thrive during veg, Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) during Flower.
pH: 5.3 to 5.6 never above 5.8 or below 5.3
ppm: 800 to 1000 general range.
DWC reservoir size: 15 gallons filled to 12 with nutrient solution.
Feeding schedule: Fresh nutes after 12 gallons of fresh water has been added. usually takes 12 days to 2 weeks since they drink about a gallon of water a day.
Lights: 2- 60W full spectrum for clones; 1 - 400W Metal Halide for veg; 5 - 400W HPS in flower room.
Light Schedule: Clones - 24hr/day; Veg - 24hr/day; Flower - 12/12
Temps: 75 degrees lights on; 60 degrees lights off.
humidity: sitting perfectly in the normal range.
Size of grow rooms: Veg/clone room - 8' x 8'; Flower room - 8' x 16' (840 cubic ft. of space).
How long Veg'd: 2 months (I won't be veg'ing any longer than 5 weeks from now on. This strain has explosive growth, so long veg time is not necessary for a good harvest).
Expected harvest: 3lbs. But I am hoping to get 4lbs. out of these monster plants.

That's all I can think of at the moment. If there are any other specs any one would like to know, just ask and I'll add them.

Also, obviously I don't mind people posting to this thread. In fact, I want to encourage it. Feel free to post all you want!!!

I added pics showing the door way in to my grow room and some ventilation since I haven't shown anything other than plant pics. As you can see, I have flexible ducting running to my rooms. I have fans connected to the ends of those via a 90 degree elbow duct. This ducting pulls fresh air from outside in to my veg and flower rooms. This helps with temp and humidity control. Right now I'm running perfect temps. In on pic you can see a rack with all my nutes and shit on it. If you look to the right you can see my filter. This is a can50 filter. It's rated at 420cfm (pretty large). I didn't want to take any chances on smells leaking out. I have absolutely no problems with smell what so ever. I have a centrifugal fan connected to the other end of the filter inside the flower room. It runs at 400cfm. Perfect.

Take it easy everyone! More pics of the girls coming soon...

PS
at the last second I decided to add a picture of my protege with a couple of the girls. hahahah. (just so I don't get any responses saying, "I can't believe you let some one in to see your grow!" I should tell you all this. He's my room mate, and my brother. He understands the rules of growing perfectly. I trust him...well I have too. heheh)

EDIT: I added a picture of my centrifugal fan.

 

[snutter]

ok, as you read earlier I had a problem getting my newsest 400W HPS light running. I bought one off of craigslist. It was an xtrasun brand ballast. What I didn't realize at the time of buying is that xtrasun has a proprietary plug. It's not the normal plug we see. It's 3 pronged, but just like the 3 prongs you'd plug in to one of your walls at home...yet differrent enough that you can't go cutting a cord and attaching it. Luckily, my local grow store sales an adapter. I was able to stop by last night and pick one up. I made it home with 5 minutes to spare before my girls woke up for the night. I was so excited to get that light burning!

Well, the light is in, and working just fine. So I now have five 400W HPS lights burning in the flower room with one plant under each light. I am a happy grower!!!

It won't stay like this though. The new ballast I bought is switchable. I actually plan on adding it to my veg room and running another metal halide light. It will serve me better this way. I just needed it in the flower room for now until I get my 2 week plant system set up. I plan on pulling out 1 plant from the flower room every two weeks. That will be in my next grow journal.

Peace!

i can get so much growth in 5 weeks that I don't see any need to go longer. I'm pretty sure that I'll get no less than 6 oz's a plant after a 5 week veg... Closer to 8 oz's is my hope. We'll see. I'm going to try and figure out what it takes to get 8oz's a plant and do that from now on...

 

[snutter]

Well, here's tonight's pictures... Hope you like what you see!!! I know I do!!

One of the pics shows a clone I have growing in the veg room. She just looks so pretty I have to take a picture. She's over 14 inches tall in less than 2 weeks. I get about 2 to 3 inches of growth both upwards and outwards a night. So yeah, 5 weeks should be just about right... heheheh.
