150 HPS multi-strain (strawberry cough, silver haze, new cross)

[.moonchild]

what happened to the one in the little white cup

That was the pink hair plant (rd sister)



---------------







So, I was watering my plants friday and had moved them. My silver haze plant has been resting on the WD plant.

But in the time it was standing on its own the main stem snapped and it fell over, so I just harvested it. She had been flowering for 62 days and been in 12 for like 15 something weeks so its not like she wasn't ready to go.


White dragon buds keep turning more and more purple, going to try to let her go to 4/20 but I might have to take her down early if the fan leaves start looking too bad.

Here is the silver haze on thursday.

Alright so here is the WD @ 49 days.

Had to use flash since it was outside grow room.

Shit is getting real purple now...

So.. how long would you guys let this go? another week? a couple more days? 2 weeks?


I'm planning on cutting it in 5-6 days @ 55 days flowering, but I'll probably end up chopping it a bit earlier because its too hard not to.

Damn your plants always look great. I'm going to get my 150w soon and grow 2 plants under it in 2 gallon containers. My plan is to give them 20 days of veg, transplant and fim, and give them 10 days or so to recover and then throw them into flower. Hopefully it works out.

Is there any reason why you give your plants such little veg time?

Sounds like a good plan. You might want to veg them a little longer before you fim, but you'll have to see how big they get.


I kept my plants relatively small because the 150 only covers so much space and at one time I had 5 female plants flowering and if they were any bigger they wouldn't have been fully covered.

Man you need to hurry up and chop that bitch. Iv been reading about the same plant for what 2 or 3 weeks now?

Makes perfect sense. I'm hoping that I can start flower at week 5 because I'm on a time schedule with school. I have about 14-15 weeks to complete the whole process before I go home for Thanksgiving, but maybe I can find someone to water them during the 5-6 days I'm gone.

Edit: You said you were using 110w of CFL's earlier in the thread. Are you using these as side lighting and are you using ones for veg or flower? I'm most likely going to order the Florlux 150w HPS from HTG and some CFL light fixtures (2x35w)

I used the 68W cfl along with the 150 HPS when I wasnt using the 68W + 42W in a separate cab when I had stuff vegging and flowering.

For 12/16 of the weeks I've had the hps on, its had the 68W cfl with it.




If you are worried about watering them near harvest I wouldn't, you can just let them dry up the last few days before you chop em. I'm sure you'll come up with some kind of solution by the time you get there.




@Newport: EVERYTHING is in jars and my grow op is completely shut down.

Its a GOOD ass feeling to be done and have everything torn down.

 

[newport78]

I bet man I cant fucking wait. Just means its time to do it all over again

 

[bongmarley2009]

Now that I have everything narrowed down, should I get 1 35w CFL for Veg and 1 35w CFL for Flower or both the same? I had planned on using the 150w HPS from start to finish along with the CFL's.

Hey guys whats good, I was just informed one of the photos of my Dutch Passion strawberry cough is featured on EVERY page on the dutch-passion.nl website!

I won the photo contest from march, and they were so happy with one of the photos they plastered it on their rotating image board!!

I just got a free 10 pack of feminized flo seeds (my choice) and they mailed them out yesterday.

Flo seeds are ~$250 usd for a 10 pack fem.


So, from a $16.00 single seed purchase with no veg time into $250 of new genetics and 20 grams of bud!

Pretty good outcome =p

The cycling image in the top right has my photo also.

That's sick dude good job who would have thought that you would do so good with some plants 12/12 from seed. You earned it dude that's amazing.

Yea all in all I pulled about 90 grams in ~16 weeks from start to finish with my 150W with staggered harvests as early as 12 from seed weeks.

Definitely room for improvement yield wise, but if I'm winning contests for dutch seed companies I guess I'm on the right track.


When I grow out this flo and WD under the 400W I'm definitely going to send some pics to HT.

I just ordered the Floralux 150w HPS today. I hope I can yield at least an oz between 2 plants with it. What techniques (LST, FIM, TOP) gave you the biggest yields?

I would definitely say top them at the 3rd or 4th node to make some shrubs.

 

[bongmarley2009]

So I received my light the other day and plugged it in and after 1min of being on it turned off. Sending it back to HTG for a replacement. You starting a new journal sometime?

R.I.P. White dragon seeds.

I had about 30 or so white dragon seeds left and they were lost in an unfortunate accident.

Always wanted to grow my cross out again and perfect it over a couple of generations but the breeding project is toast now. =[
