going from 18/6 to 14/10 and now running 1800w 5 plants per light.


i did some very minor topping on any branches i had felt were becoming dominant. i think they are looking good for 4 oz a piece but it's very early days.

cheers mate, this is pretty much a production garden now. 4 harvests a year with no separate veg area and now hitting 1g per watt so it is getting nicely dialled in


flipped to flower last week and they are filling that space up, i'll try to get a video later for week one flowering.



my own personal garden however is gonna struggle to get 3 out this year cause i have been such a lazy bastard lol.

it didn't last long lol, i have a lot of "patients" they all love the cheese.

i have heard a lot of good about the purple paralysis, grows some huge colas from what ive seen. get yourself that 600w light though, it'll make all the difference. just make sure you have the environment under control and you will always produce good quality weed.

Any reason you are using CFL`s instead of HPS? As for 700W of electric used, a HPS would at least give you closer to 10-15oz instead of the 4-8 you are expecting etc

i work nextdoor to a hydro shop and they sell a brand new 600w set up for £55 give him an extra 15 and he will swap the reflector for a cooltube, give him an extra hundred and you get a tent, carbon filter, ducting and clamps. i don't know how the lad makes any money at all ffs.

fuck me i may need to grab that web addy for the shop off ya, 600w mag, bulbn cooltube down this way from a hydro shop would be over£100, then add a 4x4 tent for another £60-70, hence why i mainly order online lol

no reason im running cfls other then i heard its easier and less noticeable on the electric bill... for what i paid for all of my lights i could of had a hps for sure...we dont have hydro shops where im at just ebay lol... is it possible to veg with cfl then switch to hps for flowering? would the increase in heat be to much? i tryed looking for a hps light and reflector hood at my local stores ... i have my eye on one from ebay for around 260$ u.s. dollars but i need to see some of my previous 500$ dollars come back in my pocket before i invest more... this is my first set up...3rd grow , first was a male , second hermed and self pollenated on me i was growing that one in dwc... 4 weeks into flower i discovered what i thought where swollen calyxs turned out to be seeds lol broke my heart.... they where both from bagseed to kinda test out my green thumb... since then i ordered the forementioned strains , all feminized , and also switched to soil till i get a little more experience... hydro is just to much work and to easy to stress out

Hey G, long time, how are you? I've been busy got the 4x8 tent all set for veg.
I'll be starting the final grow of White Indica and C99 next week.
Your garden looks great as usual.
What gear are your Cheese, I'm going to be looking for some in the future but
there are so many labels offering Cheese now and I'd like the Exodus cut if
possible Green House claims theirs are "original" but so do a bunch of others.
Miss you on the 600. keep them green and growing bro, I'll be expecting some
fabulous pics of those girls soon.

:peace:

this is an old cutting mate, if you weren't living in the land of the three i would have posted you a cut.
i'm not saying there aren't any good cheese varieties out there but ime with greenhouse i'd give them a wide berth.
