well everything looks good to me you should have the light a little bit lower try to keep the plant tops between 5 - 10 inches away from the light the further it is the lower the light/lumen intensity and you dont want that!
you want to get everything out of your light try getting it as close as possible without burning and make sure you have great ventilation this is a must! but 72 -82 is good temps!but your looking good so far man!:joint:

as for the single cola plants they're most likely an Indica dominant strain flowering earlier with less vegg time .. but theres all types of methods to getting single colas. SOG 12/12 from clone/seed is the usual you may see..
hope i help:?

others will probably have a better answer for ya! just keep asking people!

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.

Lol yeah this thread fills up quick, sometimes I have to back track a couple pages to understand what's going on lol.

Yeah dude it was very bomb smoke, and even though it did take more the William's Wonder gene it was nice. I should have a little bit of the other 2 plants here pretty soon. Those are the REAL berry gene ones, can't wait. I will post a smoke report as soon as I get it, and have some time after the move.

Ughh.... Packing sucks lol.

Yes.... it so does.... :?

On top of that frustration I found balls on my Blue Madness :cuss:, yeah I'm not too happy about that. I germed 4 BlueM seeds only 1 survived and turned male :wall:, I did the same with all 3 BD's and they all germed and turned female, now the first bean from the BD pack did turn male. At least I have 10 seeds of each left.

The Black Dominas, 2 are looking female :hump:, the other one is still kind of iffy, but I'm thinking it's female too.

I will have a seperate veg and bloom area again when we move in, so I will be starting some new Blue M's for sure and cloning the BD's for an inbetween SoG grow :weed:.

Back to the packing.... :neutral:.

Ohhhh I thought you referring to the Wonderberry dude lol my bad.

Mindmelted gave you the answer I would given you honestly lol, Mind, Wretched and I work that way usually lol. Molasses is good in general for soil, because it creates good bacteria and fungi in the plant's root system that are very beneficial to the plant.

Sorry about that misunderstanding there I wasn't trying to be rude lol, again apologies.

No problem getting the production you want with a 250. I use the Steath hydro bubbleponics system and have since the start 5 grows ago. You could go that way or ebb and flow or dwc 5 gallon buckets (yeah, I know, I'm no help). More style than substance on that and what you feel comfortable with is more important. Your production goals are realistic. I get between 2-3 oz per plant. Veg for 4-6 weeks and my strain ( LSD and Blue Cheese) needs 7-8 weeks in flower to finish. Join the club! We'll help you!

Welcome to the club Skyrptz, 4 plants under a 250 watt is fine. Keep the plants at a max of 4ft so that you have ample light penetration. You should be able to fit 4, 3-5 gallon buckets in that space. Keep your 250 HPS 4-6 inches away and you should be fine, won't be the lumen output you get from the sun but good enough to grow some indoor homegrown.

170 grams should be totally doable with 4 plants under a 250.

Hope this helps, and if you have any questions feel free to ask, someone will help or at least try to.

Is there a particular type of molasses you guys use? Thanks ahead of time.

Doobieus said:
You can use Molasses throughout the whole flowering stage, even though a lot of people only use it for the flush.

1-2 tablespoons per gallon of water (Nuted or not doesn't matter)

Hope this helps.
