LED/T5 Veg, 400W HPS Flower SCOG Cabinet

The set I got has 5 bags 220 150 75 45 and 20
The bubble bags have a bag between 220 and 150, they have a 190 that helps remove more of the debri before you get good hash.
I figured the hell with it half price for the bags and I will smoke the debri.​

It worked. I got about 3 grams out of about 4 sandwich baggies of shake.​

Here I am getting started, I have all the bags in the bucket, got to have lots of ice.​

Mix it for 30 min.​

I used a cake mixer after a few minutes of mixing with a big spoon.​

You get that frothy look to it then let it sit for 30 minutes.​

You take out the first bag and set it aside. You are doing to do this again.
Then the other four have various grades of hash.​

You get a clean towel and use the pressing screen that comes with the bags.​

.Then you put the wet hash on the screen and cover with towel and press it​

The dark stuff is out of the 120 bag, the lighter the color the finer the hash.
The 120 isnt that great, actually you could cook with it. But the rest is great.​

Well like they suggest I ran it again and got about the same amount.
Here is the take.​

So, It took a couple hours but I got rid of that shake and have some nice hash.
I think I paid about $70 for the bags so I feel I am even.
But now I can make it whenever I have shake.​

Hi Cruzer,

Try a power drill next time, with one of those paint mixxer thingys attached, those work pretty good.

How does it burn and taste? Good high?

Thanks for the tip, I will get a paint mixer thingy. I caught the bag a couple times in the mixer I have and although it didnt ruin the bag I figure it cant be good to do.

Taste? awesome. High? even better.

It had been so long since I had some I had to go get a pipe. If you need to get one look into monkey pipe. It's small, closes to keep stash from falling out when you put it in your pocket. Cleans easy and has vents so the smoke doesn't get hot. Cost Like $20

Hi People,

Well the dam spidermites came back and I shot them with safers spray again.
Then the next day sprayed them with water and It looks like I killed them again.

I sure hope so because I am down to my last line of defence. In this style of grow
you remove the lower leaves to begin with so I only had a couple sets of fan leaves
above the screen and I am down to the last set.



It seems to take them a week or so to hatch so it looks like I just made it.



Beginning week seven. Some trichs are milky, a few amber but there is still some clear.
Although I wanted to blast them with nutes I am afraid I will burn the buds so I dropped ppms
to 400 and started a pre-flush for week seven.



I also dropped the lights from 12/12 to 10/14. I read it increases resin production.
By doing do I have noticed new bud growth. Weird, I thought it would stop the growth and make them
finish faster. Maybe it just takes a couple days to take effect.

My veg area is coming along fine. I have started LST on the apollos and I FIM'ed one of the Widows.



My plan for the next grow is to put screen up the sides and the back. Take the four apollos and run then up the sides.
Then one FIM'ed widow in the middle and up the back with the other two widows not topped but
bent for about eight inches then up and get two big colas.
This way I will be able to tell what is the best way for me to grow this strain in my setup.



Before I bought the widow seeds I read some journals and found the greenhouse strain of widow was IMO
the purest strain and it is nute shy like the apollo so there will be no problem with ppms lower then usual.

Dude your grow is inspirational, in a few weeks i will attempt a 250hps cabinet scog.

Thanks Dude,

I wish you all the luck in the world.
This is a great site where you can pick up all the knowledge you need.

Initially I was going to go with a 250w Lots of people do. I wanted to see if I could do it with a 400w. Air cooling it works. Although I am sure a 250W will be much easier to keep cool I think having 400w will get me bigger buds.

Day 52 of Flower,
Done with nutes today. Most of the trichs are milky a few amber.




Its time for final flush.




Flushing with distilled ph 5.7 to 6.0 water with a little Flora sweetener I got as a free sample.

Looks like a few days before christmas.

I looked at my veg area and decided I needed some more room.
When I added the sunblaze light I lost a couple inches.



So, I took a good look under the shelve and thought I could use some of that room.





I cut a section of the shelf out





Attached it with some chain I had.





Tested it out.




Now I have much more room! Amazing what four inches makes in a cabinet grow.
My girls are very happy.









Heres a better idea,





Anyone think thats too far away from the widows?

Ha Ha, Right on bro.

Yea, every time I catch a buzz I start tweeking on the cab.
(and thats every day for now)
​

Well I cut today,
The last week I was on 10/14 and only 4 hours the night before harvest.
Seems to have made a difference, I wont really know until Its cured.

When I took them out of the cabinet and was able to see them i the sunlight I seen some blue or purple hues. Looks badass.

After all that "hard work" Im tired so I will get pics up tomorrow.
​

Hi People,

I just got back from Christmas at my sisters. I Hope you all has a good one.

Here are the pics I promised, First I cut all the stocks leaving the plants in the screen
then just grab that and bring it to a table, I brought it outside to take a pic.
I know its not very good shot but at least its not under the HPS.



Shot of the purple or blue hues




Hard to tell but they are there. Then to the table and cut.
I got a couple boxes I use. lol I used that same box bunch of times.
Got one box full here. Had to have a smoke break.




Here we go.
I got the two boxes full with the buds and the shake in the green container and the trim from
the buds in the bag. Oh yea, I missed a few times and cut buds. those are the loose ones in the dish.




Haven't weighed it yet. I usually wait till its dry. These pics were taken almost a week ago so I think
tomorrow will be long enough.

I already manicured them so they will go into a bag overnight then into jars. So here is a couple
bud shots from harvest day. I will have weight tomorrow.
