First HPS Grow - 600w - Multiple Strains - Closest

[Bakatare666]

Yeah I know about the droplets burning and stuff but never knew that about
car wax but it makes sense. Well screw it I'll water it right now lol.

Whatever your preference is man, but I've done that before, lifted my pot, and said 'I will water when I get home', then get home 4 hours later, start doing something, and if it isn't 10 hours later by the time I remember again............

Haha yeah I've done that before. Well they are watered so it's all good for now.

Yeah I water whenever I want to, I don't worry about whether my lights just came on or have been on for 5 hours. I have not noticed any adverse effects.

The only thing I do is try and stagger my watering a little bit. I'll do my two younger plants one day the next I will one of the bigger ones and the next another etc. etc. keeps humidity down in the cab a little and stops the room from smelling like soaking wet dirt like it tends to do when I water all at once.

That's good to know about the humidity, I never really thought about it. I actually enjoy the smell of wet dirt so I don't want that haha.

IDK, maybe some will say yes, but I know I'm not the only one that waters when they want it, regardless of lights just came on, or lights about to go off.
You don't want to spray, drip or mist at hottest time of direct sun, or when your lights are on if you run something strong, if that's what you're thinking.
With strong light, water droplets can act like tiny magnifying glasses and burn.
That's why new car wax formulas no longer bead up, they sheen off.

I also water when they need it, I just make sure to only water the soil and not get any on the leaves. It does increase the RH some, but I actually think the roots like it when I give them a little watering a couple hours before lights out.

Well I woke up this morning, started loading some bowls. I was able to get some puff a few days ago that'll only last me a few days, but it's sooo good. Anyway when I was done smokin some bong and vape bowls and was really bakey, I got bored and didn't want to start my day yet, figured I snap a family shot. Got the two doing great, I got one TBB seedling growing but will probably just trash it. And I started four more Plato seeds, the same smaller plant you see on the right that's darker green.

 

[AllDayToker]

My last post I said I was going to just trash the TBB seed since it's the third time trying to grow it and it keeps doing awful. Then I didn't want to just trash it and decided to try to different homemade soil mix, no wasting good soil on experiments, and repotted in a 2g smartpot. Maybe it'll do something, but it'll probably just dye like the rest.

Dude I wouldnt trash a thing,If I was in your shoes,Way to early to tell anything.

Oh I understand the curing and comparison to wine, but I have the exact opposite reason to keep strains, I need some damn smoke. Tried of rationing and barely getting my medicated because I have to make it last so I'm like taking 1/4 to 1/2 doses haha. If I had you're collection I'd be in heaven

You need to start setting up a clone station,Vegg station.
Takes a long time to get things dialed in,but when done,no more buying
will be needed!!

Yeah it was a rough start but I got plenty of help and reassurance to get me to a more steady place. I had a learning curve to push through from CFLs and HPSs, but no way I'm giving up now, things are actually looking up lol.

 

[AllDayToker]

Well I moved the lights up from 16-17 inches away to 24-25 inches away. My plan was to start flowering at 2 feet and seeing how both plants are going to take probably more then 2months to veg to that point, I need to stretch them out a little more. They are at 2 and 3 weeks and I was hoping to start flowering in the next two to three weeks, so we will see.

IMO,3 more weeks you will be where ya wanna be.......remember this is not a cfl vegg and using a 600hid compared to Cfls is like going from Gas to a Nitrous Oxide boost! LOL
There still recovering from the transpalnt,and will take off anyday!
Also, Id like to say give them a good wash with just plain ole water, rain water works great and they love a bath as much as you,just dont do it when the lights are on, I do it Rt after the lights go off.

[AllDayToker]

Great, that's what I'm hoping. I need some green asap. Yeah I'm waiting for that day that they just start booming. I'll make sure to give them a good spray down after the lights go out!

I cant tell for sure, but is that your digital ballest INSIDE the grow room? If so, I highly recomend moving it OUTSIDE of your tent/cab. You dont want to risk it getting wet/humid and more importantly, it will give out quite a bit if heat.

Other then that, looks to be a great setup. Good luck with your journy

I keep mine screwed to the window sill under my AC. it's got an internal fan and seems to stay ALOT cooler there.
