Merchant's Closet Perpetual Hydro

Very nicely done

. I would love to have those plants growing in my box :leaf:

. Mine are out growing my 150hps.. thank god their growth spurt is over. We should finish flowering around the same time, cant wait to see how they all turn out

. Will you continue to use a hydro setup? Just wondering how much you like hydro vs. soil

theoldmerchant · Sep 5, 2011

I probably won't ever go back to soil indoors. Hydro is just cleaner, easier, less maintenance. I would recommend at the very least building a small little cheap dwc bucket and grow a girl in it, see how you like it. I was sold after the first one. I'm actually trying to throw a 400w in there by the winter time, and probably add 2 more buckets to my RDWC system. For now I'm just excited for these buds to keep fattening up.

Plants look great! Mine are starting to fill in also, it is the most exciting part of the grow, next to harvesting

. I really want to try hydro, but if i try to grow the seeds im using in a hydro setup the plants will want to grow 10ft tall. Its a lot of work making a plant that wants to grow that tall half the size

. Going to cross 1 male and 1 female in 24oz bottles, seeing if that creates a shorter stain. Going to be fun

D.

Plants are looking prime!

Great job!

Don't we all man... Maybe someday breeders will figure out how to get common strains to finish in 6-8 weeks instead of 8-10.

through the grapevine ive heard some researchers are genetically modifying (bioengineering) certain strains cannabis to turn purple and dark when ripe. changing the flowering time is much much harder though.

That's awesome, they should stop messing around with colors and instead improve yield and flower time. I can see there being big money in this in a few years.

Here is a little mini update. The outdoor experiment made it through the majority of the triple digit temps. I think they are almost all gone now. Maybe a few more days over 100 but I hope not. I'm surprised.

Before/After shot.

RIP Outdoor. I guess something got to it I was out of town bummer! haha but inside is still looking delicious. cheers everybody, can't wait to chop down and start again my next grow is going to be dialed in i think.

stoneyluv · Sep 15, 2011

theoldmerchant · Sep 15, 2011

Thank you sir. Sorry I'm going budporn crazy, I'm just amazed at the difference between the cfl and hps grows. and I only have 150w. Would be soooo sick to have a 400.

I NEVER get tired of looking at bud porn!!!

man, if you are giving any thought to a 400 at all, I'd look into a 400 CMH if i were you. you get the best of both worlds with that!!

theoldmerchant · Sep 15, 2011

So are you suggesting stoney that i save the extra sixty dollars and go from this what i was looking at to cmh?

400 W hps i was looking at

comparison with a 400w cmh same website. extra 60 bones.

yea man, I know it's an extra $60 but I have been seeing some incredible buds grown with the CMH's. I've even seen a few side x side grows with CMH and HPS.

theoldmerchant · Sep 15, 2011

word thanks for the advice im going to start looking into it doing some research. from what ive read on cmh bulbs they seem to be legit.

stoneyluv · Sep 15, 2011
