Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Few Questions

I have four shop fluorescent lights, one with a grow bulb and the other three with stock bulbs. Can I just put two over the cloner and two over the veg system and call it good? Trying to save money where I can.

Flowering-3 600W HPS or 2 1000W HPS?
This is for THREE flowering systems

I actually recommend shop lights to get started. I used them for years over my clones. Don't worry about using grow bulbs, cool white bulbs work best.

I would put my veg unit right next to my cloner. Put the cloner on a spare container to bring it up to the same height at the veg unit. Run all 4 lights across both units. Set your timer to 24/7.

so when i put my first plants into grow room do i need to "harden off" plants. Im going from 4 48in floresents to 1000w hps and 400w mh. can I put them in and turn on the growzilla or do I need to get the girls used to the light gragually as you do when going from indoor to outdoor.

The reason you have to harden off plants for outdoors is because of the UV rays the Sun puts out. Your plant gets sunburned just like us!

No worries indoors. The light don't put out enough UV to hurt the plants.
 
Stink do you ever use AquaShield??? also we just got finished putting together your 8 hole mini system, could I do 2 setups in a 4x4 tent or better just do one? thx:weed:
 
i just harvested my first of my feminized dutch passion blueberry and they all hermied (bastards!) and pollinated my other strains, theres not much seeds in the other strains just one or two seeds per plant on 3 other plants.(worked out ok cuz i wanted to cross the 2 any way)
but the blueberrys themselves have more seeds and they dont smell, they have more of a plant smell than weed, and the trichs are almost non exsistant but the buds are massive. what the hell, is the plant no good to smoke or will it still be decent?
 
Most likely your Blueberry is not going to be very potent after it hermied+pollinated itself. Once pollinated your girls started focusing on seeds not trichs.
Your other plants though may have been less drastically effected and can still be potentially great.

Same story with me DP blueberry. As far as potency, I can say that I am disappointed. I noticed too late that one plant had gone full on hermie with seeds in like week 7 and it was chopped. My other four at week 8 were showing bananas and had a few seeds down low so I waited till day 60 and figured it might get worse so I took the others probably before their time.
 
I too have had to remove 2 plants because of herm's. I guess my understanding was that only FEM's grown seeds can go hermie on you but I guess this is not the idea. Oh well both were done and are now drying. about a 70 amber / 30 milky on one plant and 99% milky on the other one. So I guess I really need to watch the rest just incase one decides to get the best of me.

Girls are so unpredictable. lol
 
so im see post latley of plants going hermiefro. is there to much stress going on what is causing this? id like to learn from your mistakes.
 
ok one more question, i noticed some seeds from a hermie in a batch that is 5 weeks into flower, no pollen sacks just seeds, the batch next to that has been in flower for 11 days, is there a chance the 5 week batch pollinated the 11 day batch?
 
Whats with everyones plants going HERMIE!?!?!? Its a PANDEMIC! HAHAHA. (excuse the swine flu punn....) But whats the story is it all stress or have people started using their seed from the hermies?

I'm staying away from the Dutch breeds if possible. DP's Blueberry is not the same as DJ Short's. He worked for them and got them started but they cut him out from the selection process.

You ever wonder why DJ Short's seeds are always sold out but you can always find lots of Dutch crap. The best weed is grown in the US. The West Coast has always been a mecca for good bud.

All the land from Central Cal through Canada has prime growing areas. Not many people, good soil and cool weather. The NW has the advantage of lot's of rain, even in the Summer.

Why does all the good weed come from the West Coast? Simple...hippies! Hippies are the ones who spread the word (and seeds) first. Where do most of the hippies live? That's right, Nor Cal and Oregon.

The old school hippies in Nor Cal and Oregon are legendary growers. You can't imagine how good some of the weed tastes from a master grower until you try it.

Actually, if your follow my plans and get some good genetics, you will know what's it's like to smoke old school hippie weed! That's what my bud tastes like. Or maybe even better...
 
stinkbud i was under the impression that your veg unit was about the same as the flowering unit as it says in your High Times article. Where did this dual chamber veg unit pictured on page 1 come from. Which should I do, two 45 inch fence posts with room for 12 or the dual chamber ruffneck idea with room for 12? Also you say you grow Ak47, which genetics if i may ask, I want the uniformity I see in these pics man.

By the way you're my hero.

The high times was a misprint and the put a picture of the flowering unit as the veg unit, the one on page 1 is the correct veg unit.. you might want to build 2 if ur going to run 12 plants, ive found that with high number in the veg unit they will not do as well because they become suffocated.. a few will become very strong , while the others dont get the light needed.

what a drag thats a huge misprint haha
 
Stinkbud for President 2012! Just got the HT mag today....its the weekend, meds blended up, roor cleaned speckless, sitting on lazyboy, bouts to read the night away.
 
Just curious. With your flowering room setup are the roots not impeded because of the lack of vertical room?

Secondly, your roots appear very lanky and not really bushy. Is this simply because of the strain being sativa? Or are there other variables at play?

I'm currently in the building process of a setup quite similar to your veg setup, but I will be using it for flowering too. Instead of having a clone chamber though I'm instead going to produce my own feminized seeds. Also gonna experiment a little with 12/12 from seed in aero, haven't seen anyone else try it, lol.
