Very nice.

Fat fat buds!!!

here's some bubblicious. got about 2 weeks left. burned her at the beginning of flower, and there're 11 bud sites on this 10" plant. i'm thinking that's why she didn't get bigger buds. she's got some hindu kush sitting next to her now. the hk should start flowering in the next week or so, she went in to 12/12 on the 18th.

Ya there small but damn cyrstaline, good smoke for sure, lookin good. Are you the bro growing in a closet?

thanks man. i'm running a cabinet right now. this pic is old and before i did some more work on it, but you get the idea. that's the top half where all the bud action happens.

Oh snap, i remember now, i had dreams of a cab like that once... Nice design. I love it. All you need is one more 150whps... Awww wouldnt it be nice. Soo you just have one girl in there?

i just put a hindu kush lady in there on the 18th. no pistils yet, though. so just the bubblicious flowering. i can't wait for the hk to start. she'll be my first girl to flower on the lucas formula.
having the cab is pretty nice. doesn't take up any space and it's nice and stealthy. it's just big enough for my hps with the exhaust system i have now. the highest the temps get to is 85. it's higher than a lot of people would prefer but it works just fine for me.

Sup gang, got back from my UK trip last nite..I'm beat!
K heres the FAMC, ready to chop, and during trim..
7.5wks seed to harvest was achieved as i'd hoped, and the rest of the beans i've germed seem to be going at the same pace.
SORRY for the shitty quality of the pix, my cam is bein a pain in the ass lately.






Not bad for a 15" plant huh?!?
Guess i'd better get back to finishing off the trimming...BBL
Go steady y'all and have a great wkend,

Nearly forgot, Big bud genes will def be being bred into this strain now..I have the bb beans, and FAMC pollen stored for the first cross..hoping to make a monster yielding auto

cool for 15'' is great!

Thanks, but they can do a whole lot better!
I hope the others will live up to their potential, these tend to reach 2-2.5ft with an 18" main cola, with numerous decent sized lower nugs.

a pic of the other FAMC thats still in the cab...this has a lil over a wk left , but it might need an extra few days..
These things continue to pack on weight until literally the last couple of days

Sexy cab. Do you plan on finishing with just Dixie cups? IVe seen some crazy colas grown out of dixie cups, like 2 oz colas but you have to be mighty careful with PH and Salts from fertilizer with such a small amount of medium. Just saying cause itd be cool to see your cab highly successful.

hey everyone,i just updated my journal.im using a 150 hps light from e-cono lights and the strain is the church from greenhouse seeds. check it out and leave any comments or questions.this is my second grow so some more help would be great.

I just got my ghetto fab DIY 150W HPS/reflector set up on my kiddos.

I purchased the lamp in the following link from econo lights. It was a painless process to strip out the guts, and extent the ballast. I spent $30 at the Home Depot for wiring, and miscellaneous aluminum/bracketing/fasteners to construct the "reflector" (bassicaly a piece of aluminum ducting, opened up, and drilled for eyehooks/bracket to hold the socket). I'm looking for a little feedback on the reflector. I'm not sure if it isn't doing more harm than good.

In addition to the hps, I have roughly 70w of 6500K CFLs to help penetrate to the lower areas of the plants.

The plants themselves are the remaining best from a batch of 21 germinated seeds from a potent sack o' corn. In my haste to get this whole operation setup (my mother just started an 18 month kemo regimen...I'm attempting the supply medicine to her and several close friends in like circumstance) I didn't really keep a good journal. As such I don't really know how long these darlings have been alive for. Haha. I'm attempting to develop a "feel" for what marijuana needs to be fat and happy. If you see any obvious concerns, please let me know. I am here to learn.

As a side note: how hot is the transformer in the ballast supposed to get? I just touched it, and burned the shit out of my hand...it's also making a cackling whine reminiscent of a locus hiss. Normal?

Lamp I purchased: http://www.e-conolight.com/Product/EProductDetail.asp?ProductFamilyID=3&FGNumber=E-HC1H151Z

i would put that ballast in a metal box or atleast on a metal plate.the ballast puts of a lot of heat and being exposed like that could be a fire hazzard.what i did was keep the ballast the way it came and just cut the wires to the socket and extend that.this way you have a remote ballast but it stays contianed.

If anyone is willing to critique my new proposed 150w HPS grow box setup, please take a took, desperate for input! pics inside
