Haha yea! I went and checked it out earlier, they're all looking lush to me. You'll have some fawkin monsters dude lol. I'm probably going to flop to flowering sometime this week myself. The 4 day younger clones are almost big enough for me. The Skywalkers from the first set are very impressive. GDP is gorgeous as expected. Ken's cut doesn't seem to be as branchy as the "original" GDP from what it looks like so far. More suited to this round anywho, I won't be complaining.

Haha my bad Pothead moment...

It's all gooood. Lol speaking of pothead moments, I picked up some super potent hash capsules today because I can't smoke with the cold I caught. Let me tell you now, I haven't been this stoned in some time my friend. I've been humming Yellow Submarine off and on since they kicked in .

Watch out for the Blue Meanies.

MF I have Blue Meanie tracking missles in this bitch . I befriended some Snapping Turks too

All is well. Green and fluffy. I'm seeing lots of new foliar output on the youngest clones, so time to flower. 8am-8pm. I watered with 37.5ml of Fish Emulsion & Seaweed, 75ml Big Bloom and 75ml Molasses per 5gal. One of 3 neem sprayings for the week. I apply Neem Oil 3 times per week liberally until I'm about 4 weeks into flowering or so. At that point bud-sites are going to buds and the extra moisture is inhibitive of molds and pests. Neem oil is not a synthetic chemical pesticide nor an instant cure for anything. It is a natural fungicide/insecticide that works over time with repeated liberal application. I guess you could say it's a good preventitive measure above all, if used correctly. I mix my Neem at 1/2 capful(about 1/2tsp) per 16oz of water with one or two drops of dish soap. Shake to a watered down milk color and spray. This mixture is OK in the bottle for a week or two, but the oil and soap kind of congeles together and binds to the plastic after so long. So always use what you mix asap and thoroughly rinse the spray bottle with some soap and warm water after use. I use a seperate spray bottle for each spray-task anywho, but keeping things clean is still always good . I'll take em out from under the HPS next update so you can see how healthy n GREEN they are

Gotta love a Blue Meanie reference. Stoked for the Bud Porn on it's way. I just started 3 clones on 12/12 today.

Fawk yea glad to hear it. I'll be checking your updates as I go. I got that CMH roaring over PK now, thanks for the advice. It's goin to be loud in here. Between the Skywalker and GDP I'll have some stank on my hands.

Today isn't exciting. Marks the second day of 12/12 this round. Lots of pistils peaking. Anyway, I'm putting up a few pictures. The new pipe I got. I like it. It's a rectangular prism shape with a cylinder covered in color changing bubbles suspended in the middle. Next is a photo of the bud thief(Norma Jean) in action last round. That plant was a poopy phenotype of BC Bud Depot's 'The Black'. Though she looks mighty(and a beautiful plant to grow from start to finish), she lacked the potency I'm after. Lastly, a small shot of the edge of the garden from today.

Dude that looks very sturdy as hell i bet if u drop that pipe it wont break!!

Nope, it doesn't . It's a sturdy little pipe. The bubbles went from opaque red to green now they're turning a swirly bluish purple with green still in there. The cylinder is like a magenta color now.

Temperature : Average 78 Farenheit, RH : 62%. Today is the start of week 2 12/12. Starting to see some pistil action pick up the pace. The GDPs got burned a leetle bit, but they're fine . I water down their mix some when I feed everyone now. The Master Kush sisters are fawkin leggy but it looks like the gaps will fill in for some nice colas. The Master OGs are happy as could be. Not quite as bean-pole as the MK, but still a bit lanky. Both MK crosses have a nice dark green color. Skywalker sisters like everything they get. I don't have complaints either . I built a little rack for the 4 shorter plants so everything's even. I've included one picture of each strain and a shot from down under. The bottom 1/3 of each is bare. Some people call it lollipopping. It's better in crowded situations when little light reaches below the canopy. Concentrating my yield(flower production) on the upper portion of the plant is all I'm doing.

Almost forgot guys, the 430w Agrosun failed to fire on sunday. I dropped that one and got a Philips Son-Agro 430w. I've used those before in digital ballasts and never had problems. I think it's better quality anyway. The Agrosun was one I wanted to try and I won't be buying it again.

She was BELOW the reflector last night ....Those 909 MK's are stretchier than I thought. Last I grew out some Master Kush it wasn't nearly this leggy. I weeded out the lanky ones, personally. 909 area code why did you guys pick this sloppy phenotype as your Master Kush? I guess majority preference? Eh, the smoke will make up for it anyhow. It's time to add another lamp to the cabinet .. The only spare HPS I've got laying about is a 100w, so it'll have to do for now. FAWK! I JUST built a second cab for the PK mother, now I've gotta go spend some more $$ on another lamp soon. WHo knows I might just stick with the extra 100w if I like how it works out. Go figure, I should have gone with the 600w from the start. Now someone else is using it .

HotPhyre said:

Dang dude that is some nice stretch! Sucks u gotta spend more money!

Eh, it's all in the hobby. If I didn't enjoy doing this I would have let them die . The other 6 gals are nice and squat and pretty even across the tops so I'll just push them over so they are more centered under the 430 and the MKs will be offset a little under the supplement lamp. I already called my favorite electric supply near me and held a 150w kit to pick up later. I had an old one in an ammo can but it's toast. I'm not even sure I remember how old it is. I decided not to put the 100w in there if I'm just taking it out anyway. Not that far into flowering so it isn't a big deal to wait a little bit longer.

In all of her bushed glory. She's stinky. I gave her a top a week after she hit the soil and pinched each top that dominated there-after. I think someone here called it super cropping. I call it pinching until I feel a *pop*.

A handful from last round you didn't see plus some you did. God Bud, The Black, Blue Dream and G13. I put a shot of god bud outside the cab because she was a mf champion A+ student. She ate so much she was the only one that yellowed off at all keeping up on her feeding. Only a few leaves here and there granted, but I like em green. That photo is the beginning of her massive late flower swell. She topped off about 3 weeks after that, oozing resin at chop time.

.. Hey daniels I thought of something after our ballast conversation. I don't see very many other people pro-actively posting material on assembling ballasts, installing lamp cords etc,etc.It's all so simple but still... Maybe you, or I, start a thread involving the subjects? I could photograph a step-by-step when I assemble the 150wHPS to get it started. Plus, you've got plenty of ideas and experience too. Not to mention we're in the midst of a few experienced elecricians on the site.. All too often I find most of my out-sourced stuff I want/need to know has to do with lamps. Just little BS too. Why not a thread for it?

I like that Idea. I have a bunch all lumped together in my big Build journal. I'm doing a 400W HPS into an Ammo case soon so I'll take extra pics, then a more step-by-step for it. I kinda forget as I fly through what I do as I make stuff. I assume everyone knows basic wiring & how to's. If you want to start something I'll join in or when it's done you could help me on my ammo ballast thread.

Definitely. I tend to forget about pictures and such when I mean to take them. I get involved with creating something and that's what I care about lol. You would be surprised at the lack of basic wiring knowledge around here, but it's not a waste of time by any means. What's a few more paragraphs explaining some simple stuff? What'd you need help with on your ammo can?

Danielsgb said:

Should be easy, but I'll ask if I do.

Click to expand...

For sure. I've got a busted Sun System 150w all-in-one unit (reflector, built in ballast etc.) that I'm putting the new 150w hps kit into. I ended up having to order my ballast bc the one he pulled off the shelf for me was single-tap. I always want the option to run on 220v so I decided to wait for new stock. Lol APPARENTLY he's been selling his 150-600w(multi-tap) kits like hotcakes.
