DST's Vertical Step Grow - Headband and Cali Orange

Here's some pics from the morning feed. God dam it my baby OG Kush is playing up something terrible (I am sure Cinders is use to babses playing up, hehe)
Anyway, some pics fur ya.

Look what was out this morning....no not the pigeon (he's here every morning) I am talking about the sun - WOOHOOO!!!!


Chillberry Kush





DPQ:



Exo cheese:






Peace, DST

Looking very good. How far along are they?

I think I might be turning my back on CFLs since I found out how low wattage the MH and HPS bulbs and ballasts can get. TBH I think anyone that is growing with CFLs that you can buy at the same wattage as a MH or HPS should ditch the CFLs. Not even 12 hours later from when I started up my MH for my plants they seem to really love it over CFLs.

Well the Cheese ones are nearly done-ish.
The chillberry is 12/12 straight from seed, so it'll finish when it finishes (maybe another 6 weeks)
And the Big Exo vertical scrog has just been flipped the last week to 12/12

In my experience Toolage, "hid" wins over "cfl" most times.

Looks really nice. Because I am using low wattage lights would you recommend me using a 35w MH light with my 70w HPS when I start my flowering area?

I also got a couple update pics of what they look like now from under 12 hours of the new light.

I was a cfl grower before I got my hps. I used to get ok yields off the cfls and was worried about heat and other issues that cone with hps bulbs. I bit the bullet and bought a 400 and then upgraded to a 600. Never been happier lol

I agree with Willy, I would go out and get at least a 400w. You will not regret it, and the power consumption is not going to be that much more than using all of those individual lights.
To give you an example, a 400w usually has around 40-45000 lumens, and a 600w has around 90,000 lumens.

I might end up buying a 35w HPS and MH and use a 35w HPS with the veg and a 35w MH with the flowering area. My seedlings look alot happier now so if anything I might drop the 70w MH to 35s and use 35s for veg, cooltube them and have them almost right ontop of the plants.

I know a guy that is running a 400w but the heat that I can feel the heat it gives off and the size of the bulb is to big. for the area.

D thats what i was gonna ask ya, jack parrow or breedersboutique?

hahaha, yeh, I been meaning to change that....hold on a min..brb. (if I can figure it oot.)

lol thats better in more spams mwahahahaha!

I must have just logged off before you done you'r Pic. Post mate. Looking great as allway's bro.
So, the weather been rough! How's the outside one's fairing ? Cant wait to see them come ready. The seed boutique is looking good man! Great set of bean's to kick off. Hope to see it come off soon!

Take Care mate

cindy ( and the bairn lol )

you can leave out the papa digg's now eh! ! ! haha

That's my smoke hour staring in 10 while the lass takes him walkies.

later

Thanks Fred, thought you would like the change squire.

Amber, mucho thanks for the kind words my dear. Hopefully you wont pee and poo yer pants, it's only comfy if you are really really really (X10) cold...(not that I would know, lol) And the Pigeon is called "Fatty Boomsticks" courtesy of my good wife, but mostly it's just called "Fatty". Cheeky fuk now comes round at dinner time. I only feed it breakfast though, haha. Natures a bitch eh!

Heya Cinders, hope you enjoy your smoking hour lad, I can imagine it's quite a treat. Even though I had a couple of plants growing in my last house I only had a small balcony and no room to smoke(same rules applied, no smoking in the house!), so I had to stand on the balcony, bloody 8th story and it could get hella windy...brrrr. I was the quickest joint smoker in the North. Two drags and the bifters gone ahhaha. Take it easy peoples'

yeah i can kinda make it out from the pics and its genius bro a vert scrog for a vert grow, plus its gonna give u support for the exo u got in there. i heard how viney it is and i've had a little experience with the structure as my blue cheese is similar like the livers and psyco are kinda similar but they have there differences of course. i dont think i could tell them apart if u mixed all 3 of them infront of me lol.

edit - not by looks anyways

i know what you mean.

And yeh, the exo's and livers I got at the moment are supported in all sorted of daft ways. I have another monster exo a few weeks into flower so it'll be interesting to see what happens with that as that hasn't really got any support at the moment, hahaha. Ooops.

i like that "pea and bean netting" 4" holes chuck it on the plant loosely all the way over about 2 weeks 12.12 then bring it up around it as it stretches for the last bit, kinda holds itself up then. a little gem i learnt from oscar and its dead cheep

gonna be putting mine on soon, look out for the pics mate

Yeh, in my shtoney shtate me shinks I'll do shomshing shimmilar meeshter laz.
