Hmm, why are you running both instead of 2 of one type? Are you running both lights the whole cycle?

Ive read a few things about getting a plant to bush out more by using both spectrums at the same time. But really i just wanted more lumans and i didnt have another 400 MH, so i used both. I will be using 2hps lights for flower.

Uncle Ben on this site had a few things to say about using both..but It would take awhile to find it.

Cool, well, it seems to be working.I veg under 6 T-5 bulbs to keep them nice and squat but when i flip to my 600 MH I notice I get a little more stretch while yours look like they just stayed compact the whole way.

How much longer till the big flip? Are you going to run both bulbs the whole time or are you going to go all HPS in flower?

I will go with 2-400 watt HPS for flower, although Uncle Ben mentioned in one of his threads to try a MH and an HPs for flower to get big bushes, I will still go the HPS way.

My plan was to take them to about 24 inches tall from the dirt line, and one of them is 19 inches the other about 15. They are growing about an inch a day right now, so in about a week I will do the flip.

The vertical lighting seems to get a lot more light to the whole plant and I think thats what has kept the stretch under control. The lateral branch development is better then Ive done on any plant with horizontal lights.
Also, when i had them under the 250 MH i kept it very close to the plants without burning them and that may have helped.
And of course the genetics play the biggest part im sure.

Pics 2,3,and 4 are plant #1 at day 57 from seed.
Pics 5,6, and 7 are plant #2 at day 50 from seed.

Both plants are eating up the nutes and are very easy to grow.
PLANT #1 is 16.5 inches tall and plant #2 is 23.5 inches tall. They look different but the leaf pattern looks the same only smaller.

All pics taken right before feeding today....

Wow, they look great. Really bushy, tight spacing. How many pairs of internodes do you have?

I did try it with the C99 and it didnt seem to make a difference from when i ran the c99 clones and didnt do the 36 hr dark. After that ive had the flower room canstantly at 12/12 with plants in various stages of flower.

Dr Gruber · Apr 12, 2011

I flipped them over to 12/12 last night.....62 days and counting.

SCARHOLE · Apr 12, 2011

Cool man,
Now the action begins....

Hotwired · Apr 13, 2011

That spacing is incredible. Once I see them done in flower my order goes right in. I want to see if the clones do the same thing. That's gonna be the ticket.

Subbed man this is a strain I've been wanting to see in action for a while, do you think it will double your yield like advertised? 200 is a lot for 2 seeds so ill have to see some amazing results to justify that purchase. And so far those veggers look like they might be what the hypes about, good job man.

The way they look now i wouldnt be suprised if i tripled my yeild...but i dont want to count my chickens just yet.

Thanks!
If you mean Thcfarmer, yeah i think any thread with the title Dr Greenthumb is not allowed anymore because Logic cant stand the compitition with his seed company.I was banned from there for complaining about it...oh well, it was a good site while it lasted. Please post up a link when you start your journal and ask any questions you want. If i can help you in any way it will be my pleasure.
