600w 4x4 tons of pics! Perpetual grow....

I'm running a 1000watt in my tent, it's the Xl so closer to five by five. when I bought it the Hydro store said that I could grow 16 girls at a time in it. They Lied. I am only growing 11 since there is no way 16 would fit unless they are tiny. I started flower cycle when Veg had girls at 18 to twenty inchs. Now they are at 3 feet and my tent my tent is wall to wall.
what did they tell you???
Thanks
loaded for bud

hey fat boywanna sling a few seeds im lookin for new genetics
sorry but the bust for doing such things is harsh! if they come to get me, i want to be able to say with a straight face, that i never sold or gave away anything to do with my growing. i'm about to get legal in arizona. once i do i will be handing out seeds to some of the locals who have med cards. this is apparently legal as our fucking politicians are doing everything they can to fuck up medical pot users and suppliers/care givers in the great state of AZ!

I hear AZ is getting hit pretty hard... not to mention the crazy regulations that are already in place.

i have a 4' by 11" sq tent and use a 600 watt. i have had as many as 20 in there flowering. i typically flower 16. i pull an average of 16 oz per grow. 3 gallon bags or pots work best. different strokes!

i used to run a 1000 watt in a 5' square closet. same deal, 16 to 20 plants. i grow so many because i'm looking for mother plants. i'm always looking.

yeah, it sucks. we only won the vote by a few thousand votes. the morman's etc can't stand it when people smoke pot. taking oxycodin is fine but smoking pot for medical reasons? HECK NO! they don't swear either! :lol: they'd rather i spend years in jail. assholes!

i'm sitting back and watching. no freaking way i'm letting them know i grow until all this is settled. i fear for the thousands of folks who have come out of the dark and gotten permisssion to grow from the state. now beerocratic assholes and politicians who think the world is 10K years old have everything they need to hunt these guys down if they can overturn the vote.

i'm sick to death of the war on pot. fucking mouth breathing inbred scum the lot of them!
 
Thanks for the info , How is it that you have so much cleared area my 11 girls have a solid canopy with fairly large buds and leaves are starting to frost !! I'm at week 3 and 2 days, did trim away some of your lower branchs and doesnt that stress the girls by doing that?? I'll send you a pic in the morning the girls are sleeping now. If you go to my profile and look at the pic there you can see a couple of my colas for last grow. Thanks for helping I really appreciate it,
Loaded for bud....Peace

Here's my seedbox...

2011-11-28_14-49-10_283.jpg

I just cracked 2 Exodus Cheese and took 6 cuttings from some Vegging plants. I will get pics up soon of those.

I expect about 2 weeks until harvest on most of my plants now... but I'm not in a rush, just waiting until they look done. I'm just feeding Black Strap Molasses and water now. The young ones are at full strength nutes and performing well, I think they are about 3 1/2' after their stretch.

just to show you what i do in a tent! this is mine at 17 days flower. i like it tall and messy! :)

the tent is almost 5 foot sq with a 600 Watt! some people say it's too crowded growing like this, i thank them for their opinion and pull an average of 16 oz every 90 days!

your plants fill your tent nicely! they're beauties!
Wow, how do you water and rotate the ones in the back?! A nice piece of work, my new hero!

That Mendo Purp looks verrrry nice! I love the specks of purple throughout it....looking very nice! And the ladies in the room are looking beautiful, man! I had to give away seeds to some friends because I was never going to get to them! Looks like you may be the same way, lol!

Ok, I got my material and built a stand alone room in my garage. It will make things easier for me and give me a bit more space and flexibility. I will post some pictures of the actual room some time soon.

Basically it is a 8x8x8 room with a door. I stuck my 4x4x7 tent and my 2x4x5 tent in there and I mounted my ballasts and timers. Routed all my duct work outside of the room to give myself a cleaner working environment and I am able to dry all of my bud in there.

I now have space for my Dehumidifyer and my small space heater on the outside of the tent without loosing heat due to the size of my garage. Now my environmental controls are on spot. The last couple days in there have been very nice and I am happy with my outcome. It also leaves me a bit of room for expansion if I need.

I was also able to move my clone box outside of the Veg tent and now they are on a heat mat under their own T5s. This is sitting on a old ikea cutting board/shelve system that I found in my storage shed and it has shown to be a great resource in the small area.

I harvested two more plants today. I think they were a Black Widow and Mendo Purp (due to a herm a while ago) they were almost identical while growing but finished a bit different. One was a bit more fruity than the other (also a bit more leafy). I will post pictures when it is dried.

I also harvested my Black Widow clone and I pulled just over an oz from that sucka, it was the cause of my mite issue a while back and the veg was stunted a bit, but I got that under control by week 2 of flower. I cut a couple clones from it and I have one of them in my flower tent now (just put it in today along with a Mendo Purp clone)

I think this next set of girls will be, by far my best grow so far. I am about 5 weeks from my next harvest (of 2)

I also have a Feminized Exodus Cheese seed that has been going for about 4 days now (Looking great) and I am going to pop a mix pack one I got from SOS just for shits. Took a couple cuts as well and have those going.

Alright, now for the pictures. No order but I will try to describe if necessary.

This is my Mendo Purp clone, just put it in there yesterday.

This is tha BWxMP cross (I think, or it's a Trinity x BW cross) so I'm just going to call them Oregon Coast Berry (OCB) just for my own sanity, it gets confusing. And since there are 2 Phenos then I will Be refering to the darker fuller one as OCB1 and the other lighter fluffier one will be OCB2

This just so happens to be the OCB1, it is not topped or anything. I think this is how I am going from now. No topping, just letting them go. I did top another OCB1 I have in here but that was just an experiment to see what I like better with the same strain.

This is a Black Widow clone, put in there today.

Here is a picture of the BW I just cut and is its first couple days of cure.
2011-12-04_13-10-37_734.jpg

This is a Northern Blue, I have taken multiple clones from this strain trying to figure out why the hell it was to lanky. I then started to supercrop and spent a bit more time on it. It seemed to do well. So this one has some extra time in veg but it looks nice and the spacing on it is great. It will just be short and on a stand to keep it level with the others.

Thanks brother!

I decided not to top with the strains I have going now, but that may change. I didn't see too much of a difference in yield but more consistency if I didn't top. That sucker with the tobacco can next to it is about 3 1/2ft tall and I have plenty of room to fuck around with.

I'll just keep it simple for now and get a couple more cycles under my belt inside then I might think of changing things up.

I'm going to post a video here soon of my new grow room, just need to head out to the garage.

funny u say that i got a light meter today , cheap one anyway i put it under my 4ft 4 bulbs and it read about 850-900 in watever units of light whatever, then i put it under 400w mh and it read about 1600. now that said i was goting to eliminate the mh and get another 4 ft t5 because they seem to illuminate more area but not as bright so im gonna stay with one 400 mh and one 4ft t5 floro and 2 2ft 2 bulbs for my clones, and 1000 for flower , i am waiting on a xxxl hood to come in any day for a quantum 600 i got last week im not gonna set it up for prolly 2 more weeks , so i could get one more good round of clone before i flower my main girls . , chemdog , critical jack , and ak47x nl cant wait, damn 9 weeks and then 2 to dryand cure damn maybe by the frickin spring i could get some ak nl damn
