Nice plants! Like the c02 set up too.
Thanks LX

I think they could have been better but I am just learning the soil nute mix. It was a test run for my other grow I just started.

Not sure if the co2 does anything but hey It cany hurt!!! lol

Thanks for stopping by....

Hi SL2, interesting read, and great skills with your building. Obviously someone who is very handy, lol, unlike me, I just bosh things together and hope for the best (but it's fun doing it that way as well) And props for the very high quality equipment.

Now to your weed. What can I say, a lot of interesting strains there (like a fekkin sweety shop bru, lol.) Sorry to hear about you getting crap stock from that website (and for being banned by RIU - someone must have been having a bad day - ) Looks like you have made the most of what u got. Interesting to read about your super crop, was there no way you could have left the cola to repair itself - you would have been stoked, I tend to just tie something round the snapped part of the branch, you then get a fat joint, and this seems to push more goodness into the buds. Anyway, I am sure it will be good (how are the test buds you keep taking from it? - hehe, it's hard not to I know.)

Okay, so I'm gonna jump over to your new grow. See ya there.

Laters, DST.

I would be happy to. The light would depend on the cabinet size. What size are you thinking about? Check out dillweeds journal. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/199861-dillweeds-2009-summer-grow-journal.html He has two 1000w in a 6.5’ x 6.5’ tent grows HUGE colas with basic nutes. Then there is the heat. 1000 put out a lot of heat. Even more than the 600. That makes a good sealed reflector very important. If heat is a problem for me in the summer I may try growing vertical with no reflector. I would like to try a 1k in my cabinet. The reflector is what causes most of the heat. Can you exhaust outside of the room? If you exhaust into the room like me you may need additional ac for the room.

Thanks again DST. Im just a dude playing a dude pretending to be another dude…lol I have seen some very nice grows with what you call a bosh set up. lol I analyze the shit out of everything. I did a lot of research before buying. I learned as a young man you get what you pay for and to do a job right good equipment is a must and my experience is it last longer with fewer problems.

Ahhh the weed. You must be talking about my grow journal. I assume you saw the pics and list of all the beans I have, went on a freakin buying bonanza…So much weed so little time!!! It was disappointing to say the least about the seeds from marijuanaseeds.nl. I guess they breed their own seeds, don’t know. I had better luck with bag seeds.

On the Big Bud supercrop I did that because it was hitting the reflector and it was so much taller than the White Widow. I did not want to raise the light so I bent it over. It was doing fine then after it gained a lot of weight it twisted over pointing to the floor! I was afraid it would break so I tied it up. I thought it would never stop growing! I would have loved to let it grow straight up would have been a big ass cola!!! I didn’t want to spend 80 or 100 bucks on some crap off the street so I started picking lower buds. Quick dried it is ok, better if you let it dry out a couple days on its own. Very energetic busy brain up high followed by a complete zone out! lol Plus the leaves were yellowing and dropping quicker than a HO’s panties on a Saturday night! Lol

I have a question for you. The Big Bud doesn’t have much trich development. Is this normal for Big Bud? If not what would cause that? Stress from me stealing her buds? lol

Overall it is 7' tall on the outside. It is massive! lol

With the light all the way up and minus the pot I have 4 feet of heigth left for plant growth.

The scrubbed air exhaust out the top of the cabinet into the room. No prob with smell or heat but summer may be another story...

Looking great SL2, don't mind that guy posting pics of his setup
I have seen him post those pics in at least three other threads
No one is looking at his setup make small LED buds so he goes to threads where people are making huge HID buds, as you are, trying to get more views in his thread
