250w HPS Club And Help Guide

Thanks for the welcome! Learned most of what I know from Roseman and the boys over at the bubbleponics thread. What do your res temps run. Mine are always in the 73-76 range with lights on but that doesn't seem to cause any root problems. I use GH Flora line with some Cal-Mag ( I've got 350ppm tap water), Super Thrive, and Liquid Karma (flower only). Use 1/2 load FloraKleen every res change for a couple of hours and full strength for a day before cut. I also turn the lights off the last 48-72 hours with good results. Oh, and in about a week I'll start screwing with them by twisting the stalks, tumbtacks in the stalk and stems. moving lights up and down, raising temps by closing the closet door with lights on and generally try to make them think they better hurry their ass up and finish cause the end time is near! LOL! That way there is no time to hermie on me from the stress. First time with the LSD/BC strains so I'll see how they react. The bagseed grows liked all that abuse at the end. Fimmed to the max and supercropped when needed for height control. Total plant height of the grow is about 30". LSD spreads out big time and have almost crowded out the Blue Cheese but have her tied and postioned in a premium spot now (right under the center of the light) I'm a paperclip ninja when it comes to moving the colas around! LOL! Have the 250 in the center and have leftover 2700k - 105w CFL's as side lights. Sorry, don't take pictures for now. Promised the wife of 35 years ( I'm 54 go figure - get 'em young before they open their eyes and they bond to you!))that if I started I wouldn't advertise but I'm working on her and I may get a good camera for Father's day. Son is getting married in the fall and I've almost got her convinced but these things must be handled delicately! LOL!

Thats the truth.My res temp is a constant 68 degrees.
I have a nano-chiller on my res.

I have a 150 hps and a 150cfl and 4 68 watt cfls is this enough 4 -4 3 foot plants all flowering.

I don't think so myself.You should have just went with a 250 watt MH/HPS

not that many and that tall of plants gotta keep them shorter or just do one big one or more light..

or youll just have a bunch of airy buds but hey they add up lol

Yes. The light penetration limits means you have to shine the light right on the buds you want to get big. I grow 3-4 30" plants with my set up but concentrate on the top buds and anything I can reach on the side using the cfl's. See a group of buds and put a light on it to let it be all it can be. What doesn't make solid buds are used for hash/oil.

Okay then.Hope your harvest is bountiful

Im growing some White Rhino under a 250W MH and over the past weekend the temps got to about 87, Im not sure what this is though I think it is heat burn. Whatever it is can I fix it and will it get worse?

here is before (a week or so ago)
and today, 5 days about from when stress was definitly visible

Looks like heat burn to me but don't worry those leaves are still working and the rest of the plant looks fine. Those leaves may stay that way the entire grow or just fall off unepectedly at some point. Looks like they might benefit from some high nitrogen fertilizer. A bit more grow nutes should do it but do it a bit at a time. Gardening teaches you patience! LOL! It also could be the light the shot was taken in. Do they look a little limey green to you? What's the strain? Is it bagseed? Looks like a nice indica to me with those wide leaves.

its white rhino, so dead on about the indica strain, yes they do look yellow to me and Ive been trying for days to get a response from someone regarding that, thanks so much I have some weak fert ready for them.

Thank ya much MC...

Here's 1 more

Ok so I'm back with the Wonderberry, so here's the smoke report.

Look: Blue and Purple-ish hues, along with green calyxes, some purple, and hairs are red.

Feel: A little crispy for my liking, but even though it is crispier than I'd like it, it's still very easy to handle when plucking off a small hit.

Smell: Interesting, it's like a skunk swam in a pool of blueberries lol. This plant took on more of the William's wonder pheno/gene, the other plant that has a couple weeks or so smells like blueberry pie and obviously takes more of the blueberry genes.

Taste: On inhale it's more skunky tasting and on exhale you get the berry taste, totally caught me off gaurd. The berry taste lingers for awhile and it's very VERY berry tasting.

High: Hard hitter right from the get go dude, not a creeper at all. Really strange high though.... Like as if you were on a cloud couch just vegged the hell out. Real relaxing, at the end of the bowl you're nice and baked.

General opinion: I actually like this strain a lot, it surprised me in a lot of different ways. Mostly skunk before berry smell/taste, and the hues on the buds are beautiful. The blues and purples make it look so appealing to the eyes, hate to sound cliche' and all but really it's beatiful don't you think?

The herb burns clean, gets me ripped and smells wonderful, 2 thumbs up from this happy stoner.

The plant was grown from seeds from the California Bean Bank, very impressed. I've added some pics, enjoy.
