Stelthy's 600W Hps Project! (New-Cab)

[stelthy]

i've got the same one, just be careful not to drop it fully in the water, splash proof, not water proof (my screen had condensation in it lol). get some calibration fluid for a few quid to keep it accurate and u wont go wrong with it bro, good buy

I will be careful I dont wanna be spending another £45 on PH test kits, I am only used to a mere £5 with the old fashioned drip kits. The dude at the Grow-shop said they had run out of Calibration Fluid but there was a sachet in the case with it, How often do you need to Calibrate the tester? Cheers mate - STELTHY

i'm not really sure on the correct answer but i do mine about once a month, only ever goes out a point or 2. i think u may have 2 do it each time, well thats what they say lol

edit - i rinse mine under the cold water tap after use

I just read something interesting on this site : http://www.organicgardening.com/feature/0,7518,s1-5-16-193,00.html That may help with my Tomato plant

Pluck the first flowers.

Growing deep, extensive roots and a full leaf canopy will help establish newly transplanted tomatoes. Many experienced tomato growers pull off the first flowers, so the plant does not devote energy to forming fruit before its roots and foliage have filled out. Amy Goldman, who grows hundreds of heirloom tomatoes in her Rhinebeck, New York, garden each season, reports, "I pull off all the flowers until the plants reach at least 1 foot tall." She also pulls off all the suckers (shoots that emerge from the main stem below the first fruiting branch).

So I think despite the fact I liked seeing the flowers appear I shall infact remove them as I want the plants to grow taller yet - STELTHY

Tomatoes are hermies... they have to pollinate themselves to produce fruit.

Even so. Let's have a look in his/her/it's/their panties.

I just stumbled on this thread. Great cabinet man!!! I am thinking of either converting an existing cabinet, or making one from scratch. I really considered that Great White Shark strain, but went with BF LSD, and GS The Church.

Man i read through a lot of pages, and i was starting to think i'd get to the end without seeing a plant growing. Glad to see you finally got something growing. I do see the merit in waiting though; patience is a virtue. It's better to wait till the situation is right, than to jump in over your head, and get caught, or start a fire.

Hey I represent this remark!! I've now got my priorities straight and am finally growing right!

I don't think I've seen any work that is more "clean" than Stelthy (Daniels comes in a close second). Check out Stelthy's previous grow! I remember seeing that first cab and the first words out of my mouth was "Holy Shit"!

Here I have removed the 1st flowers from the Tomato plants as suggested above - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

Now that my Tomato plants have been trimmed and have reached the screen and all the pre flowers have been snipped off I intend to weave them through the SCROG Screen until my Great White Shark has reached a decent enough height to allow me to raise my reflector - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

A Chilli seed has sprouted - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

And the 'Mystery seed' was infact a bagseed lol so as long as she's ok growing in the same pot as a Chilli plant and 'IS' defo a 'She' then it'll be interesting to see what she transforms into - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

There's been little growth with the Lavender, but tiny stems are now visible - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

Here are a couple of fan leaves I removed from my Strawberry Thai, I suspect like others have mentioned it was a case of over watering and as such have treated this mistake as a learning curve, here a closer view of each leaf:

I water half the amount now so I barely have a teaspoon of run off, little is better than more with watering soil plants - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

My Great White Shark is filling out nicely, I changed the water I mist with from PH balanced water to just standard tap water to avoid unintentional burns to the leaves, So far I've had no issue's and keep my fingers crossed this change continues to suffice - STELTHY

looking good stelthy! you should get a group shot of the whole cabinet to see your work in real progress!

 

[stelthy]

Hey stelthy. Any tomato plant root porn to show? You know for a change of pace.

Hey what can I say. I like variety in my ladies!!

Non as of yet I mean its real difficult to lift the lid, now the Tomatoes have reached the SCROG screen ~ sorry dude - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

Your wish is my command lol - STELTHY

 

[littlegrower2004]

looks pretty bitchin! those tomato stems are going to be tough to bend with out snapping. ive noticed in my summer garden that they tend to break quite easily, but the smaller ones may be more manueverable. still some time before that gws catches up to the screen. are you running the 250w right now?

Cheers buddy I was tempted by 'The Church' too I will probably grow that at a later date Lol yeah - This is a packed thread and we're only really just passed 'GO!' I have tons more to add 3 grows worth to be exact and even then there'll be more stuff after that Yeah man 'Good things come to those who wait' - STELTHY
