Hey buddy, things are looking great! Keep it up!

I'd say the ones in the back of the group shots are prob 8 weekers, and the one in the foreground of the group shots will prob go 9, unless that's the one you said you threw in there after the others...

Oh and for your second room idea, you really might want to up the wattage there. I know you prob want to keep the elec bill down (it adds up quick huh?!), but a 150 watter is only going to grow 1 plant with not very dense buds. If you really see yourself forever sticking to the 2 plant in there limit, then I'd do a 250 watter instead. But if you ever think that you might want to go up in numbers in that room I'd shoot for at least a 400 watter. Plus now you can get the Lumitek adjustable output ballast at a higher wattage and then just run it on a lower setting. That might be the best option of all, since you can run the lower wattage now but could expand up later on if you wanted.

Huh?? said:
Yeah,it sucks.
That's why I try to go with strains that have a shorter flowering time.I'm at the start of the seventh week and they're looking close.

Edit-Sorry,I'm six and a half weeks in.

six and a half weeks! that's great. yeah, i got some good connects now, with clean good clones, so im gonna get some 8 weekers soon!

thanks dc, yeah, im in day 37, and they';re dense as hell, but the hairs are still long, i guess when the hairs start receding it'll be close!

the 150 watter, with included ballast, was $80. if i got 2 it'd be $160. the one 250watt hps they had was $180, so igues what im saying is another 150hps is defn in my future.

first flush ever, i know. gonna do one at the end of veg too next time!

1-2- pic of ogkgc, sativa, enourmous, i like it.

3-hindu skunk, hugest bush ever

4-5 quirkel, you can see what all of the hype is abut, this one is a keeper, made popular for sog, but this lady loves to be fimmed and vegged hard!

6- bloom family one. from left to right OGKGC, white widow x northern lights, (this one is like 10 days in, thrown in recently, ) , quirkel, hindu, quirkel. five in bloom, a lucky number. i could fit six, if i didnt have one sativa, but she's a keeper!

7 tied down OGKGC, she was getting to tall, but the nuggs are getting too fat to handle!

great, a lot of people say that superthrive is bunk, and you can't prove it does anything. i believe the contrary. i use a couple of drops a gallon, in my cloning, when i spray my rapid rooters, i have 100% sucess in cloning. i use superthirve in veg. i use a tsp or two per gallon in my veg nutes, i always have extra solution, so i put it in a spray bottle, for foliar spray. i have nute hungry plants, but man do they perk up after a spraying!

From what I've found you can pretty much use Superthrive anywhere and anyhow you want. I use a qtr tsp in almost every gallon of mix for vegging, and I sometimes throw a splash in when flowering too. I use the same amount along with 6mls of Hygrozyme for clones and seedlings, and they love it. Yeah, 100% success on the last cloning using this mix.


Drella! They are looking great! That Hindu Skunk looks awesome.

never thought i would make it this far, or at least without one hiccup this round. thanks for all of the help my green angels!

pic1- hindu skunk
pic 2- OGKush X Green Crack
pic3- The two loves of my life quirkel, if you grew them, you'd fall in llove with them too!
pic4- round two family!
pic5- the White Widow X Northern Lights i threw in a couple of weeks ago, clusters of many hairs springing, two very leafy strains, making a very leafy offspring. my buddy bred her, im caring the bloodline!

hairs are receding turning orange everywhere! i don't know when to start flush? i don't know if i should wait till they get fatter, or what? i haven't used any molasses yet, would flush be a good time to start?

a lot of questions, but really nothing to complain about. hope everythings going great out there for you guys!
