That DOG is beautiful! The leaves are such a deep green with that nice sheen to them, it looks so healthy! Not to mention the dank looking buds ;-). That wooden bike is cool too !

Looks like a nice combo of indi and sativa in there. For future grows I would highly recommend lots of training, supercropping, scrog......the seem to yield more and appreciate a good firm hand.

Well these are 12/12 from seed. Ill grow these out, but like I said Ive got my small fat bitch with tight node space and generally just the way I like them. Shes my keeper. Wouldnt mind if u get a male DOG to cross with the SLH. I really think that would be interesting. Im away for the frozen peas again

Plants look great i'd move those wires up off the floor! How's the temp with no fan's for the cool tubes?? I run 420cfm through just one 1000 hps and if I didn't I'd be cooking the plants!! Looks great enjoy the fruits of your labor man pease jack

Thanks for stopping in Jack. I am sure Billy will have some answers to your questions upon his return. And good question, do those tubes have fans Billy?

I run an 8inch ruck for my cool tubes and a 5inch for the cab. Stick around and I'll have an update at some point in the future.

Peace, DST

They were hooked up to a 6inch fan but I had a little trouble with smell so I needed the extra extraction. Luckily I live in Scotland and I run my light from 10pm to 10am and its pretty fucking cold, so no issues at the moment but when/if summer comes Ill need to attach them all up again. lol

Here's looking into my cab. 3 cool tube tower, 2 600watts and a 400 w, running HPS just now but will switch the 400 to MH soon. I run the lights on and off in intervals. Just now the lights are on full power as far as I will run them, I'll start reducing that down again shortly. So I start my lights around 75%, then up to 90%, then back down again. I have had no issues so far with this. Perhaps I am just kidding myself, lol


This is the DOG from seed, which is actually Kush2 regular male x DOG.

Will be avaialble hopefully at www.breedersboutique.com (shameless plug for my mates company, lol.)

More pics on the 600 thread.

morning D bru. so whats the science behind the dropping of the light ? they need less light once they've packed the bulk of the buds on ?

The science is all in my semi logical thinking mind, lol. Basically in the morning the lower light comes on first (the sun rising). Then a little later the top light comes on and the middle light kicks in for mid day (in the light cycle, which is also mid day in real life anyway). So by midday through to late afternoon the lights run at 100%. Then late afternoon the 400 goes off, and in the start I have the top 600 off for a bit, but in the middle of the grow I have it on through the late afternoon (peak summer time in my eyes). Then when the buds have packed on their weight and are filling up in the last couple I'll put them back to the same regime as at the start of the grow. Kushes by all accounts like to be given a bit of breathing space in the end. Last few weeks I am going to stick the 400MH in there and get the 400 hps out for heavier resin production.

the logics sound for sure. I was planning on getting a uvb bulb to do the same have it come on middle two hours for the 4-5th week of flower and then hours 8 & 9 in weeks 6-7.

never got round to sorting the bulb out though. have just been taking a stroll or flick rather down memory lane looking for dog scrog pics and thinking to myself, i need those pheno's back! pronto!
