First attempt at growing in Coco under 1600w's....

[mr west]

very nice mate i got envy lol>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[rzza]

hey man i didnt see your journal till now. ill follow.

if you dont mind a suggestion i would say pull all that dead plant material out from the pots.

nice lollipopping! when did you strip their bottoms? after flower?

looking reallly good + rep

 

[FuZZyBUDz]

quite the grow dood! i agree with RZZA tho, the deadness has gotta go, i use to do the too but it can cause some nasties in there u dont want.

cheers westy....nice one for the rep rzza, i lollipopped them a few weeks ago.
ill gave it a clean tomoro lads, been abit lazy the last couple of weeks

I pour 2 litres into a eleven litre pot and sometimes get drainage add another litre and easily 30% runoff. I water every 3rd day. water,no,no,water etc. hahahhahaa

 

[inked]

i give them 2 litres every 2nd day

 

[J.cun.Shallow]

yeh I kinda messed up posting that, only relised there was 11 pages when I hit the "post" button then manicly started pressing the close button repeating shit shit shit to myself.

so I just skimmed thru and its looking good your plants in week 4 look bigger than mine in week 4 but I am not such a good grower at the end of the day

good to see some brits on here at last

 

[oscaroscar]

Fucking hell!!!! thats fucking awesome for 5 weeks mate, bravo

 

[inked]

nice one oscar....them 12 look like your 1 lol

 

[inked]

anybody think sticking my 250MH underneath the canopy will be beneficial??

 

[oscaroscar]

Yeah i think it would harden up the lower buds nicely. Just watch it doesn't get too hot. Rasclot used a light underneath and that looked like it did wonders
Any new pics mate?

 

[inked]

cheers mate....think il do it out tomorrow, heat shouldn't be an issue...don't think ive gone above 75 for the entire grow and thats with 1600w!?!? no pics until monday mate, that'll be the start of the 6th week

hi mate i would be a touch worried about a metal halide underneath but i would try it anyway!!! lol. if it looks like its not beneficial take it out. have you seen the envirolites? i ask because in danthebull's journal he using them for additional lighting and i think they are pretty decent. very economical and they kick off no extra heat. oh inked are you in any way worried about electricity? i am using 1400 watts of light and all the extra's (fans,pumps etc) and im a little paranoid about how much we can use before the bacon knock on the door. do you know whats seen as legit? i want to start using 2400 watts but im wondering wether its wise. what do you reckon?

thats a very good question:

thats why I run a ironing buisness from home and rang up the electric company to tell them what I was doing and asked them how much electric I can safely use per plug socket etc.

ink great job. i was wondering if you could tell me how tall your plants were (inches) or how long you vegged them for before you flipped them into flower? I hope to do a similar grow soon and im trying to do some more research. thanks and keep up the great work. subbed for sure

 

[macrael]

i finished my first attempt it turned out ok heres what i think went wrong 1st i started in soil then i went to mo koko and then i think i didn t feed it enough was watering every 2nd day and flush every 3rd watering this time im went straight from jiffys to mo koko and feed about a cup a day sometimes 2 if they need but this time round i put them out side to see if theres any difference in potency but next time round i will be up grading to a 4&6ER OR might just borrow 1000watt er and have 14 w for my 4x4 hm cupboard and most likely nl5

 

[macrael]

i never had run off when i used my 400 inside but now that i am out side i tend to water a bit less but more often it doesnt dry out quickly but then agian its not soil either and has more air flow i have a run off that measures ph 6.3 and 1.0 ecm is that about right.
