Nice job DST, I really like the fact that light can penetrate through your shelves. If you have the electrical capacity, I would run all three at the same time, if not, as you say, the last few hours I would run one hps and the mh. Our own eyes tell us the sun is giving off much more light in the orange/red spectrum as the sun sets so it seems to me a two to one ratio of red to blue would be ideal but if not I would go one and one.

I think a bit more reseaarch on my side is probably a good thing. Ratios are a good point. So you reckon at peak I should go with all three? They are runnning fine together?

1badmasonman said:
Ya know that an interesting point that nobody has touched on until now. With the sun setting in nature it slowly gets dark. What a brilliant addition to your regimne D. Will be interesting to see how it works out.

I think some sort of experiment is in order...to go along with the 100 others, haha. Lets see how it goes.

Top quality design and workmanship. You, stricklyseedless, 1badmasonman and jigfresh have me thinking vertical now. You've created a monster!

cof

If you are limited with space it's ideal, or if you just want to utilise a space and max it out I think it's an excellent options cof....give it a try!

Cheers guys.

DST going to bed.

the 600 is moveing along fast as ever!!with all these updates to the grow rooms and such,
i've got me some lil updates comeing along myself.

well for the gals,they have been put in the flush mode!!
10 days left till the chop.

all the rooms look so clean,and all the updates of the gals look good as allways.

Today ends week six of 12/12. Casey Jones has joined the others in soil and all that is left is the headband x cali o. I'm figuring three weeks left until harvest. I like to go nine weeks in general for indica dominant strains although the sleestack x skunk is supposedly sixty percent sativa, if so she and the lemons might need ten weeks. It is what it is. I now have a jump on the start of my next experiment. My beans are in three ounce cups, I'll let them get root-bound and transplant them into those red party cups until once again root-bound and finally into one gallon grow bags to become mother plants. So, if all goes well that should give me a three week head start on vegging the moms while my current crop finishes. My lights are about to come on so it's watering time and I'll post up some pics later.

1badmasonman · Sep 14, 2010

Question peeps. I got a shitload of trim in my freezer and I have no hash bags. Im thinking cannabutter. Has anyone ever made butter with trim? The recipe im looking at is, Well heres a link http://www.420magazine.com/forums/420-kitchen/37701-cannabutter-7-easy-steps.html

In this description they say 1 pound of butter per oz of bud. Now do you guys think trim would work aswell?. Me and the misses may be making a whole lot of space cakes if so.

strictly seedleSs · Sep 14, 2010

DST-I had the same issue with the panda film I was using to block my door. The solution I found was to buy a zipper by the yard (fabric store is where I found mine) and use tape or velcro by the yard (also found at fabric store) to hold it in place. It worked out great for me.

1BMM-The issue with getting a recipe is how potent thier herb was to begin with. I made butter using trim at about an ounce for 2 sticks of butter...wow. That stuff was waaaay potent. I figured if the recipe called for that 1 part weed, then that was equal to 2 or 3 parts trim. Now keep in mind that my trim is just that, no fan leaves or leaves that arent covered in trichs. The butter tasted so much like plant matter that I almost couldnt stomach it. I think that trim can be just as potent as herb when baking...just my experience.

dr green dre · Sep 14, 2010

Dst ..that set up looks sick,how many times you done a vertical grow? How long did it take you to master it?Can you tell me any pros+ cons of a vertical setup plz. looks like something Id like to learn in the future.

Im in the same boat as you 1badass, loads of trim and no bags,seen some make hash with no bags on here(600), might give the butter a go if it aint too hard.

Well ive just finished off the chopping block,very happy with the results.Got more than thought i would of ,I got 14.5ozs off the 4 plants, i have'nt chopped up the haze yet,hanging for one more day. Took a load of pics but cam started died on me just before i could get the final bud weight pics.
Big pic is 250 grams of cheese,3rd pic + bowl is what the scale shows

This is only 3 of the plants had another to chop before cam died on me, some hard and airy cheese buds real fluffy :smile:

Total so far is 23.5 oz's got some bits in a box still drying not much plus 2 haze plants+ 1 cheese soil plant not very big though.Plant below is haze was supposed to leave another week but got chopped with the rest.

:blsmoke:

1badmasonman · Sep 14, 2010

Thankyou seedless. My trim is all the good stuff. No fan leaves at all. The trim is all crystal covered.

Sos im going to give it a whirl at the 1 pound butter 1 oz trim and see how that goes.

Peace 1BMM

Heads Up · Sep 14, 2010

Masonman, you could try the gumby method of hash making. You don't need any bags. All you really need are those mesh paint strainers and some tubing to siphon off the excess water after the trichomes settle to the bottom. It's really simple, the hardest part is siphoning off the water and would be much easier with two people. That way one person can 'direct' the end in the water while the other starts the siphon. You can find video on youtube. I tried it with basically fan leaves I had in a brown paper bag and I couldn't believe the amount of 'hash' I got out of it, way more than using bags. Since I have bags, I pour everything through the 225 micron bag to get out all the schwag and then through the 25 micron bag to filter out even more crap and that's it. Without bags the video will show you what to do.

And now for my weekly update in pics.

Outdoorindica · Sep 14, 2010

I get what is being said about it gets dark slowly outside, and the sun looks more orange when its going down and stuff. But it is never actually dark outside unless there is no moon. And the sun looks more orange I think because of the different gasses it passes through in the lower parts of the sky, something like that. Its the same reason a havest moon is orange, its because of how low it is in the sky. I dont think it changes the spectrum at all, it just looks different to the human eye. I think its interesting to try to recreate the outdoors inside, but we could never actually do it, inside light at night fucks our shit up, but not outside, they are constantly getting hit by the reflections from the moon. Thats something I have always wondered about myself. I just wish I knew how all of that really worked. To me everything is just guessing with the current technology, then later on down the line our guesses get proven wrong with new tech. And so on. We never find the end because our minds will always find something further than what we were originally looking because thats the way we are designed. You see what you want to see, so if you really expect there to be something further there will be, thats why you could never have "powerful" enough microscope, as long as we keep looking there will always be more. But thats why things get better. I want a moon light. Is that possible? Not sure if it would help or not, but it would be an interesting experiment. End of week 2 of 12/12 for me, I would say flowering kicked in pretty much instantly for most so thats about how far most of them are into actual flowering. The white russian and sweet afgani delicious look to be in the lead development wise. Like I said before my vanilla turned out to be a hermi so I cut it out. That was sad, it looked so damn good. Its hard to smell anything unless I rub the stems because the filter is working so good. It better, 500cfm pulling through a carbon filter for a 4x4x6.5 tent. Which when shut, sucks in so much that the plants are really only growing in about a 3.5x3.5 area. Everything looks nice and healthy, some could be better, but mostly due to lack of room. Which is the only positive of the vanilla coming out is that the others have more room now. I just wish she, i mean it, had shown balls sooner since it was going to any way. But at least I noticed in time before any opened. I need to get pics up, in all honesty, I have just been too lazy. Mostly feeling like shit. But its time to water again tomorrow, they are drinking heavy now. So I will try to get some good pics then. take care club 600. bongsmilie

I was thinking that earlier Headsup you gem of knowledge you. Paint strainers i have used them a few times. Id hug ya right about now. Id much rather have some hash than a ton o butter lol. Im still going to whip up some though cause my old lady wants to make some baked goods haha.

Plants looking awesome too HU. Like your sig, Its the countdown to ecstacy......

Welcome to the 600 jew lol. Nice handle there. Its been awhile since ive had any good pot brownies or cookies but im ready for a good chuckle. I love feeding them to unsuspecting guests hahaha.

nighty night peeps.

jigfresh · Sep 14, 2010

1bmm... I made butter with only stems and fan leaves with no crystals for the eye to see. I put it all in a crock pot an left it on high for like 6 hours. Added a big tub of country crock. Becuase I left it on high it reduced to half the container it came from. SHIT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DANK. Seriously, when you bit into the brownies I made it made your mouth tingle. Throat tingle as you swallowed. By the time you were taking your third bite you were already stoned as hell. I ate 2 brownies , a buddy did too. Haven't been that high since I was a teenager smoking for one of my first times.

Moral of the story... you can definitely make butter out of trim, lol.

Beatuful progress integra.

Nice haul Dr. Dre. I really like little buds like that. Big ones are impressive and all... but I like the bowl size ones... even if they are big bowls, haha.

DST. Just breathtaking. Having seen the space you are working with I'm absolutely BLown AWAY bru. Great Great job. Love it a million times over. You have even more light than I now. Must be the most light on this thread I think. Awesome. Just love it.

As a tip, clarify your butter first. Get's rid of all the shit in the butter. Will make it far more potent. Or just us ghee instead.

Thanks Dr, I think this is the 4th vertical grow I will have done....and all have produced well for the space I have. Much better than horizontal, but that's just due to space limitations. Well it's really about just getting the system right and then it's the same as growing normally. You just gotta pay attention to vertical light instead of horizontal.
Pros- simple, increases your canopy by at least 2 or 3x in an enclosed space. Light penetrates from the bottom to the top of the plant. Opportunity to put more light in a small space. Opportunity to put more plants by using the vertical element of the room (stack em high!!) Oh, and great harvests...hehe.

Cons: Space to move around in. If you are growing organic then you need to get a decent watering method (mines has been a bit tardy and slow) Lots of soil/coco in an enclosed space = lots of humidity. There are a few others I am sure but don't want to lean towards the cons too much hahaha.

You should try it if your space is limited...or even if it's not.

Very nice grow and yield!

Be careful, your ladies are reaching the tempting stage they are looking so well.

You have the cleanest, best organized grow of this group and it shows in beautiful buds and yield.

Heads Up · Sep 15, 2010

Cof, you reading my mind again? I was thinking earlier, maybe a side shoot or two needs removing. I've been on a rationing program and it just doesn't sit very well. I figure if I chop a couple tonight I'll have something in another week or so to smoke...but if I just let them go a couple/few more weeks, I'll have even more and better to smoke. I probably won't chop any.

I agree with you about integra and let's not forget genuity. My two candidates for the golden grow award.

Heads Up · Sep 15, 2010

The headband x cali o went into soil this morning, that's all four in soil but none have poked through to see the light of day as of yet. I'm considering doing an almost organic grow. I refuse to spend the money for foxfarm soil. I generally use a mix of scott's for indoor containers and miracle grow organic with perlite and worm castings added to the mix. I did away with the miracle grow organic and instead went with canadian spaghnum peat moss for my next soil mix. I think I'm going to try using some different guanos and worm castings and brew up teas for my next batch of girls. I've also decided I'm going to use half gallon grow bags and basically try to grow a bud on a stick and shove as many clones under my lights as possible every two to four weeks. I'll be happy with foot tall plants with a nice six inch bud on each plant. I'm looking for production over the winter, our nice time of the year. When the weather starts to warm again hopefully I'll have grown enough to make a little bread since my job right now is very iffy and still have enough to last me through another sativa grow. I want to do a six by four foot scrog with three plants. A super silver haze, a neville's haze and a hawaiian snow. I've been saving those beans because I wanted to get some experience with sativa before I grew the big three. They are all feminized so I'll take some cuttings and share them with my vietnam vet buddy. I have some nice ten gallon grow bags they can live in for the summer and fall. It's almost light on, see ya'll later.

1badmasonman · Sep 15, 2010

Headsup That sounds like a very good soil mixture for being locally available. People grow beuatiful flowers and great vegetables with local soils. Your is a great blend, shit id use it. FF soil is good stuff though. Pricey but good.

Also cant wait to see that scrog you have planned. Them scrogs look like fun. Peace bro
