Blackberry Kush/Strawberry Cough 4000w Grow Journal

Idk about 24/0 veg isnt the best way to go all the way through. I would go with the 18/6.
i think that little 6 hour rest period helps a great deal. You can really see so after its first night. plus it save you money if you run a 600W + system.
I used 18/6 and it works fabulously.

Ok, if that works for you thats fine. I see your tag at the bottom of your post RE your 1st grow. Im sure your on 2 or 3 by now? Lets just say there were no digital cameras, or the internet for that matter for my 1st......just saying.

24/0 veg.

That's what I've read so far. There's no side effects during veg with constant light and constant growth. Things seem to be doing great.

I'm running 4x600 watts 24 hours. Quality of Bud > Money. That's my priority lol plus my timer was weird but I finally figured out my retarded mistake. I manually turned off the lights for 5/6 hours a few really hot afternoons but I didnt notice any difference.

24hr veg ftw if you can afford it!

Small Room Update:
Made an effort today to do my first cloning! Cut off a couple bottom branches on 1x The Purp 1x Mr. Nice Guy 1x Strawberry Cough and my good blackberry kush! Hopefully I have a successful clone of each. I'm going to take quite a few more probably tonight or maybe tomorrow do all of my pre-flowering pruning clean up the bottom of the plants so I stop getting nut burns from watering

Room UPDATE!

Tomorrow morning at 9 AM i'll be spraying with AVID and FLORAMITE. Technically illegal but sold under the table for cash at some hydro stores. Super concentrated so i'll handle all those stupid spider mites before flowering. After the spraying lights off for.... 12 hours!

TIME TO FLOWER!

Pretty excited all the plants are definately ready to begin. The countdown begins.. Did a little more trimming took some more clones from lower weak branches so i've got 21 potential clones, pretty exciting cant wait to see how that works out.

Did my first watering today with the Cal/MG so hopefully they green up nicely!

Here's some new pics to check out.

Smokin Lavender

Full Speed Ahead Cali!
The fun starts now!

hi cal great grow. i use canna love the stuff and am setting up basically the same as u with 4x1000hps, and i also have a veg room with 4x400mh.
Do u pull air from the lights out of the room, all 4 lights with a 12"? and have a seperate extraction with carbon filter and seperate intake?

I was thinking light>ducting>light>ducting>6" extraction >out of room. for each set of 2 lights. and 720cfm extraction with carbon scrubber and 550cfm fresh air intake.

My lights are set up on a looong single circuit with a 6" pushing air through it, which extracts from under my house. Then it links into my 12" Exhaust which is cooling/scrubbing my air and that pulls everything out of the room. I LOVE the 12" lol. I have vents in every corner of my room that fresh air pulls in from under the house when the 12"s running. Negative air pressure owns. Make sure your room is 110% sealed I find little cracks still and I've gone over it so many times!

Can't wait till my lights turn back on see how they did with the spraying and sleep!

Schmokin Random bottom bag buds. SourD, AK47, AFgooey. Stay lit

First day of flowering. 2nd day for the clones! Ended up taking a total of 21. I could take more but I dont have the space or lights for them I have no idea what I'll even be doing with these assuming most of them propogate!

Does anyone have any experience spraying with avid/floramite?

Also does the height look decent on my nets? Or should I lower it a little more. I'm not really sure how much to expect these guys to stretch!

Anyways here's a few pics, enjoy and comment back

Lavender!

Damn man, you got a great flowering room.
21x clones those should be good. The net seems a little bit high. I would move it a little bit down towards the plants. You have a variety of height of plants.
Just to be safe to get all the plants i would lower. Your a great grower, cant wait to see these plants take off. I think your plants should be just Bender420 plants.
Fat colas, fruity-ass scent, healthy plants, the list could go on.
Quick ?: Whats does molasses do to MJ plants. I just recently added it to my solution that i feed my girl. Just dont know what it does for the plant.

Thank u very much Yea they're all between 18-24 inches tall. 575 was sayin they stretch a ton in the first 10 days or so of flowering so I dunno, maybe i should drop it an inch or two. I just dont know!!! lol I never saw Bender420's I'm new to these forums since i started the thread.. but hopefully my plants do turn out well I'm still perfecting their feed they have deficiencies here and there definitely.

Molasses is an amazing natural sugar I think has NPK of 1-0-5 or somethin. But it's usually used in organic growing from my understanding. But I'm sure it can't hurt! I hear the plants LOVE it. I've heard of a few people using it here, non-organic as well.

Few questions to throw out there.

Anyone have any experience with Advanced Nutrients?
or CoCo Growing nuts

What's your typical PPM during a normal flowering feeding?

Has anyone ever sprayed for mites with Avid/Floramite?

How long will it take for clones to begin showing roots after being put in rockwool? I've never taken clones before and I dont want to mess around with them too much.

Anyways a few random questions to stir up some discussion and hopefully help out my crop Thanks all for helpin me with this grow!

Yah my plant stretched out just on the main cola part. Well the stretching of the main stalk, created the main cola.
I only have CFls for now., so idk those 4 1000w systems are gonna make those girls explode with budds!
Thanks for answering my question.

Flowering is awesome!!!!

I barely even have to check on the babies just let them do work. Lights are poppin on 9 PM- 9AM. The plants grow AT LEAST 1 inch every day, so sick.

Last night they received their first full blast of flowering nuts.
BUD IGNITOR!!
BUD FACTOR X!!
RHINO SKIN!!
CAL MAG/B1!!
A&B DUH!!

Last but not least the one tray got a little Kushie Kush too

The strawberry cough own, the other tray is Eh, time will tell.

Mr. Nice guy - looking awesome

The Purps - SO fat and bush, and the stalks are already 1 inch in diameter, the stalks on all these plants are sooo beefy.

Strawberry Cough - Amazing minus one plant that seems to have dwarfed I dont know why, but it still is a sweet little bush with lots of tops, perfectly rounded I wish i could put it outside lol.

Blackberry Kush - To be decided - These clones were all jacked up and have weird defects like 3 leaves etc. Probably going to be funky going to keep a very close eye on them make sure they dont herm.

OG Kush - Same page as the blackberry, seem to be doing alright though growing at a crazy pace.

Headband SEED - 99% sure its female, and its super beefy already. AND its rockin 9 leaves!! Wish I'd had more time to veg her.. oh well!

Anyways heres some pics of them reachin for the net, they're all just right under. DONT be a stranger comment

Bananooooo!~!!!

plants looking awesome cal, im no expert but it looks like u could maybe lower the lights a bit?
what nutes are u using, in canna coco i use casnna a+b pk13/14 and canna boost.

That's really lame!! I'm guessing you live somewhere it's not medical? Not too far away though, lights at the end of the tunnel

Nothing wrong with that I'm using advanced nuts mostly and I havent talked to anyone else that's used them. So hopefully all goes well

Room News: Nothin too crazy just growth. Humidity is a little high at 70% so I'm probably going to have to invest in either an AC or DEHU. My buddy is using a dehumidifier right now and he doesnt like how much it dries out his pots so I may go with an AC unit to drop the temp at Lights Out bring out some more in my purps possibly? we'll see...

Here's a few pics of the room today as they begin breaking the net!!!

Purps today
