Hey how loud is that can fan you have in your first pic in post #12?


Hahaha that leaf is awesome. I have a 12/12fs Lemon haze with only 3 bladed leaves.
Louder then a oscillating fan, about as loud as a microwave, if that make any sence. 250 cfm.

I'm thinking about taking on lemon haze, so far from what Im seeing Green house genetice are top shelf. I have always stayed away because of people complaints. Im pretty sure im going to try some more of there strains

Good luck with your grow

Week three and we have a heat wave, 35 yesterday outside, my room hit a high of 38 :shock:. Had to make some changes.
I have move my ballast outside my grow chamber and dimmed the HPS back down to 600watts, this kept temps at a high of 31, Im happy with that considering the circumstances.

El nino: Slow grow the in the last couple days, first a prune now the hottest days of the year, I'm thinking I have lost a week for sure now which it the pits. Good solid health plant over all, i'm

The littles plant has finally dropped her root into the water, shes just a stunted little thing though. I cant imagine she give more then a 3 or 4 grams.

Here the El nino shots:

Train Wreck: This plant's a champion, I like it! I have grown this once before under a 250hps, It needs higher lumens the the 250 can put out to allow for the plant structure to beef up and hold the bud weight. She's budding fast now, slow to start but has caught upo to the el nino.

I fed a strong feeding to her last night, im pushing her but lets see what she does, i know in hydro she can really drink.

Here a couple of her:

Now this is a Medical grow so I have to make sure the next generation is up and coming.
I took 2 Train Wreck clones and the rest are El nino

And thats all for today, see you next week for another full update! :leaf:

Well the heat wave continues, it making thing a little more challenging

When my light is dimmed to 600 the room stays a 30, when its up to 750 it tops out a 34.

The problem is with the light at 600 thing are streching and I don't want that, so my beautiful trainwreck had to be bent 33 days into flowering. Thats a first, not exactly what I had planned. You can see that the canopy for the room is much more even with the new change so probably for the better anyway. I have tied the main stem up a bit with zip ties after I bent it just so it's not so far down.

Heres some pic's:

they're all crowded in there now but seem to be just fine with it.

Full update again coming soon!

Of the clones I took, 4 El nino have rooted well, two look good but arn't showing signs of roots and for some reason the Trainwreck which looks good is not showing roots either.

I have made a dwc/bubbleponic veg bin. It has 4 sites and is drip feed giving the plants water untill the roots reach the water. Im currently running cfl's in the veg room and I'm thinking I might just keep it that way I have a 250 HID if needed.

I have planted 2 El nino and 2 Trainwreck in to the veg bin. I need to get timers today for the light and water pump.

I didn't get much for pictures last night but I will post more on the full update, but here are a few just for interest sake.

Here is the veg room, 4 elnino and 2 train wreck, I have 5 subcool ace of spades I might just add that strain into the veg room once these transfer over to the bud room.
I added root booster to the res to increase my root mass, I would really like to see huge root balls before flowering, I should have 2-3 weeks before they kick over.

Ill give you the benefit of the doubt and guess 215g dry. Beautiful coloration on the buds. How tight were they? Its hard to tell without a close up but it looks like they could of used another 10 days to put on weight. But, im a novice so take it for what its worth.

That was just a couple picture I took when I changed the res for the flush, they
are running in .7 ec for the rest of the week.

As far as tight, they're rock hard nugets, I squeezed one last night and it was so juicey with thc that it felt wet on my fingers and them turned to stick stick glue lol.

oh and I like your number, heres hoping 215 grams!:hump:
