Sooooo.......DST........how do I get some D OG??????

There is a magazine called Soft Secrets that is available online that has some great growing ideas and tips. The current issue has a good article on hydroponics that I found informative. Here is their site and once you choose an issue it takes just a little time to download it.

RIP little DOG...shamepic bump for the wake...

Here is the New Blue Diesel, big girl that finished at day 77.
Totally different pheno from the other diesels in the aspect that she has fewer trichs, a longer flowering time and her high is a lot more in the head.
Overall a very desirable smoke, and yes, there is a clone.

On a sad note, it is with sad regret that I announce the passing of small dog.
She died peacefully last night due to unforseen circumstances and will be greatly missed by her two siblings and the entire dog community. May she rest in peace.

just paying my respect, sorry to hear about her, but life just goes on

Just somethin I thought I would throw out there, nothing special. 1 plant, 600 watt HPS. Day 33 of flowering, 37 more to go. Should get around 500 grams, thats the normal yield anyway.

My own Strain. Indica genetics. Vegged for 40 days from clone that started 4" high.

cof, there seems to be a sudden rash of dog death. My first one is also RIP and number two has taken her place in dirt, she finished swimming earlier in the day.

So let's say my tap water is 200ppm, I'm reading integra saying one of his plants doesn't like anything over 300ppm...sooo, does that mean I would add enough nutes to bring the total ppm up to 500ppm since I'm starting with a base of 200?

Very nice one plant nodrama...and let's please have none here.

Would love to see something that you call special, Nodrama if you think 1 plant yielding 500 grams is not. Pretty awesome, but then may be I am easily pleased. Here's my 1 BX2 that I screened yesterday, if I got 500 grams from it alone I would piss my pants, here's praying.

should be big

Oh happy day! It's amazing how almost running out of smoke gets the mind to working. I've decided to pop a few other strains of regular beans and do a 12/12 from seed grow while I'm waiting for my mother plants to become mothers and start donating clones. Pardon me...ok I'm back. While trying to decide what to soak I popped open a container with a few white widow beans from a previous grow from he whose name can no longer be mentioned, and low and behold, a little piece of hash was hiding in there, some of that nice scissor hash, soft and brown months later...and it still smokes great, he says as he takes the third and final hit from the bong.

So I decided on a few grape ape, a couple of white widow or time warp, seems to be a little confusion, it's hard to tell which seed came from which plant when it's laying on the floor, and a few white widow for sure. I figure they should be done before the first batch of clones so they won't get in the way of my five or six month perpetual grow. I feel like I'm planning a production line and trying to squeeze a bit more bud out in the process with a 12/12 from seed. Yup, a lack of weed will definitely get the mind going.

Thanks guys, you know who you are.

this is my first bourn sour cream

View attachment 1165560

do you think its ready for topping?

Nice choice nas, you'll like. Out of everything I've smoked with a lemony taste, sour cream was by far the best tasting and the second best strain I've grown to date. I didn't top mine, I lst'd her and got just over three ounces dry. I also chopped the top cola first and then let the rest of the plant go another week. It still looks pretty short with tight internodes. The longer you just let it go the better the root system will get and you can always top it any time you wish to any node you wish, it's really your choice. I never try to top until there are at least five nodes, I'm trying to build a root system first and foremost.


Edit...I also like to let my plants get bigger before topping because I like to remove the first few bottom nodes to clear the bottom of the plant for air circulation.

that sounds delicious!! so when did you start to lst her? and how many days in total aprox did you keep her in veg? and in flower? and how soon did yours show her sex? thanks heads up

Hi again everyone Just to update... my 600W variable cab is almost done here its run its 1st test with a 250W MH for 5hrs and temps stayed steady at 20.7oC As you can see on the top left of the pic. There are 3 ballasts there at the moment.. I need to run temp tests for the 400W ballast and then finally the 600W ballast

I do however have a question if anyone can help? I am toying with the idea of getting a 6" twin lamp cooltube so I can run MH and HPS together ie 250W MH + 250W HPS, then either a 400W MH and a 400W HPS or a 600 MH and 600 HPS..

My question is :- do I need 2 ballasts to power 2 bulbs in a twin tube setup? I presume you do? which will mean I need to buy 3 more ballasts and have a total of 6 Digital ballasts.

Ultimatley I can run a min of 250W and a max of 1200w in my stealth cab, I plan on doing a grow for each wattage and documenting my findings and pics etc in my thread which I will attach shortly.

I hope someone will answer my question, I'll REP for a good answer and hope if you would like to view my work so far that you enjoy the read

HERE IS A LINK TO MY THREAD :- https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/320402-stelthys-600w-hps-project-new.html

Hope everyone else is growing fine, Peace - STELTHY

stelthy, what else is there to say except WOW!

Nas, I started lst'ing her rather early. I started by bending the whole plant and trying to get it to grow around the top of my container, that was the plan and after that came tie her down wherever it looks needed. I bent and twisted that plant into a shape that just ain't natural and she never put out a single banana. I vegged them for about six weeks or so, by then they were already showing hairs and ready to be flowered. I think I chopped the top at eleven weeks and the rest at twelve.

Cheer's H.U n thanks for the REP - STELTHY

Headsup its likely a trainwreck. Did not get a single bean from the time warp. SO FAR. Im still up on gods country hehe. Hillibilly politics ya know. But ive got some real good prospects at the beans from a breeding experiment those folks did this season. Hoping to get a fistful.

Harvest time is just around the corner for the outdoor. Im 9 plants strong mostly the purps and the first batch i put out. Figure that one out. Fuck from some 200. The first 15 made it to the 4th quarter of the cat and mouse game haha. well hoping the reat come through. Peace 1BMM

You are welcome. I wonder, why spend all the money on all those ballasts? Why not run just run two six hundreds if there isn't a heat issue? From what I can tell from the size of your, your, your space capsule, two sixes would be all the light you would need. That's just my opinion, why even mess around with a 250/400? The only reason I could see using three ballasts and lamps is to have one metal halide burning with two hps during flowering. Again, just my opinion.

I haven't followed any of inegras work but from looking at the pics he post of his hightech clean room....I'm guessing he is working with RO....Like I was saying my tap water is a little over 200ppm....when I add my flower nutes it brings it up to around 800ppm.....leaving me with only adding 600ppm of the good stuff.....RO is in the future!!!!
