BlackRoses' Dairy Farm Blue Cheese and Milky Way scrog

BlackRoses said:
Well I was talking to a guy who's been growing for quite some years now here in Holland for coffeeshops.
He was telling me that the single biggest mistake he sees done by most amateurs is that they place their lamps waay too close the first two weeks.
The first week your lamps should hang 1m above the tip of the net canopy to induce stretching, then you bring it back 40cm the next week and 10 more the following until it's 50cm above Canopy throughout the grow.
This way you'll get the most stretch out of your ladies.

Now if my lamps were very close right now, it would keep my ladies very short and start bud production right away.. Which doesn't leave much room to fill my scrog.

That's a good point.. I had forgotten u were flowering now.
I leave mine about 24 inches during stretch, but then move em back to 12 Inches to bud.
.. 50cm still seems like an awful long way for a 600W. But so far I can't argue ur results :-)
 
Yea I will probably bring them closer then 50cm during the final 4 weeks I'm sure..
But I like how it's working right now.. I took some pics yesterday for personal comparison and they're growing by the day which is healthy and nice to see.

When the lights turned on yesterday, the ladies were looking thirsty, so I gave each 500ml of RO water PH'd at 6.3
Friday or Saturday they'll get their 2nd feeding.

I noticed some leaves I marked down that were becoming pale are now back to green, so last weeks feeding helped out nicely.
 
I bet you guys are getting bored by all these green plants and no buds..
So I took a shot of some White Rhino nugs I just bought at my fav. coffeeshop..

Price: 15 euros

Looks nice bro. I wish I had a cam I'd throw up some pics of this purple I've been smoking. When you put it throught the grinder its like a lavender almost red look to it pretty intense stuff.

That sounds good man.. god can't wait to get some of my whole buds again..
These coffeeshop buds usually get chopped early, so they don't truly develop lots of taste.. but it sure hits hard man!

Great journal BR and thanks for showing me why people say go big or go home. I currently fit into the my plant is as big as your clone category LOL!
Just learning the do's and don'ts right now. Everyone starts somewhere right. Also I've been wondering if it would sometimes help to raise the lights for some extra stretch so plus rep for the insight.
I'm sub'd and I'll be rooting for ya to get some monters nugs off your girls. Take care!

You're absolutely right bro, we all started from scratch and by making mistakes and following journals or reading books..
So noone was born perfect.
Make sure your room temp and humidity are controlled, you don't overwater/feed them and your canopy is well lit, and you should get good results.
Thanks and +rep back!
 
Hey BR, if you were to take a pound down to the coffee shop would they buy it off you? How much would they pay?

They'd buy and pay depending on quality and strain.
White Widow/ NL/ Skunk/ PPP/ Santa Maria.. those kinds of Indica's they pay 3.5/gram
Mid class weed like Cheese and BC etc. they'll give 4euro/gram
And higher quality like Long flowering haze they can give up to 5euros/gram.

Btw. tomorrow I'll have some nice updates.. I just fed them today and already they're all filling in bud sites..
So many flowers on just day 7..
I guess the Bud Ignitor is doing the work.. 70 euros a bottles wasnt cheap.
 
Here's a pic of the Fruit Spirit I got a clone of.
Great smell, nugs are nicely compact and I love the high. Can't wait to harvest mine :D

i am so jealous of the strains that you have available to you. what will be your next selection from your menu sir? lol
 
Hi guys, so today is the 8th day and they're all looking beautiful, no signs of burns or deficiencies.. It's getting really hot these days so the temp inside is around the 29ºC during the first 4 hours and the final 8 hours it'll settle under the 28ºC after midnight.

PH: 6.2
EC: 2.0

So here ya go guys.. Enjoy

they look good. i have turned mine today. i am waiting for the lights to turn on after the first long dark period. they just had 20 hours dark. 5 more mins. i will snap some pics and post them in my thread.
 
I also decided that I'll do updates every Friday..
So everyone should tune in around these hours for some nice pics ;)
Next week should be epic.. I'm having some problems with heat, but I just ordered two small fans to blow air from under those hoods..
This that should help alot..

I also lowered the hood 30cm each and added the first heat shield on the right reflector until the fans arrive.

Nas & Damian Marley - Patience
This whole album is THE fucking shit man.. best hip hop album of the year hands down! (I don't listen to too much hip hop, so I could be overstating this) :p

Also look for Nas & Damian Marley - Friends


And that previous song on the previous page was "Ras to the bone - Midnite"

Also an awesome song ;)
