2x2x5 Grow Lab - Reserva Privada Headband ... [ 100w T5 veg / 250w HPS flower ]

haha thats exactly what I TRIED to do with my headband but I put a little too much stress on the stalk one night and it snapped so I had to deal with what I had. mine are really starting to swell. you will have a massive yield.

Can't say I haven't done that before!

I give my self rules...Like: No serious training / bending until 3+ hours after watering... And ALWAYS keep masking tape within arms reach from your garden.... I can't tell you how many branches I've had to tape up when they tore or got cut up..

Can I see some pics of your ladies?

You've got a long road ahead but a rewarding one.. Zip ties are your friends! I hold pretty much everything up with them.. That and some wirecutters might save you some time..

of course. i have 3 strains. the headband, jekyll passion(black domina and Flo) and yumbolt (freebie, using it for hash). ill show you 2 of jekyll and 2 of my headband. the trichomes arent so much getting out onto the bigger leaves like yours but I think the actual buds are covered. again, I wish my light was more concentrated on the headband, but oh well.

pics in order - Jekyll group shot, headband group shot, jekyll close up, headband close up

Hmm yeah I see what you mean... The jekyII looks more like my #2 headband in regards to resin... but your headband looks like my #1 headband..

the #2 is much much frostier than #1 and I actually use that plant for a lot of close up frost covered pictures.. like this

#2 from day 31

right.. i like your 'grow lab' better too. i think it matches the footprint of my hood better. I learned a lot in the past few months... :wall:

but excellent job thus far. this will be a fun finish to keep an eye on
 
I wanted to ask the same but I thought you also did work with the 250.. I just feel like 250 didnt cut it for me, not in the 2x4 at least.
 
i answered the question a few times before.... a long while back though

i dont think 400w would work... youd need to have the same size hood.. and i already do 82F on the warmer days with my suppliment CFL.. I have to drop the AC down to like 69-70 on the really warm days just to keep the temps down.. Other than that on a regular day I keep up normal AC and the tent stays at a comfy 77-78F..

i find environment to be more important than the extra intensity... if you can keep the temps down lower with good ventilation youll have happy plants... if you really need a 400w then get a 2.5x2.5x6 tent.. .. or just get a 3x3x Y with a 600w hood..

250w works perfect in 2x2x5 with a few extra light bulbs.. ;)
 
I wouldn't be one to give advice on dimmable lights..

If it were me I'd just get a 250w light up above and position extra lights around where they're needed..

Or again just get a slightly larger tent with a slightly larger fan to pull air out and it's gravy 8).
 
Thing is i dont have the room for a bigger tent and im planning on getting a dimmable digital ballast system for a steal at my local Hydro store thats a 400W dimmable . ill try stuff out lol im basing it all on this grow tho lol. once again GREAT WORK!
 
Cant wait to see the finished budz....I was gifted some headband from a friend and we decided try her outdoors this year:leaf:

Verde those are smoking!! Good job bro!



Finally got a TI Nail, v3.. I have to admit it is pretty legit... But honestly i dont think it's all that much better then a well seasoned quarts nail...


Just nice to know it's never going to break.

oil is where its at. my friend (because I dont have a dome lol) just got a new Ti nail and its the shit. i wouldnt say it gets hotter faster or anything but it definitely STAYS hot for a good amount of time letting you hit the whole dab. thats basically the only difference I see in em.
