Hey sfsurfer, nice plants there. What's with the low K MH for flowering? I wasn't aware they came that low and that you could flower with them. I am curious to watch this one. Hope you keep us updated.

So heres the set up I have going right now:

-5 Cheese clones
-early week 4 of veg
-4X4X7 ten
-8" aircooled hood
-MH/HPS digital ballast
-600w MH for veg
-600w sunpulse 3000k MH (not HPS) for flowering
-5 gallon pots
-perlite/fox farm ocean forest mix for soil
-using all 6 fox farm nutrients (according to their feeding schedule) and EM 1 (microbial inoculant)
-temp lights on is 76*
-temp lights off is 68*
-Humidity is between 40-50%
-Ph at 6.8

These are the strongest two. I did some LST earlier today and the pics are of the plant before, during and after LST and her canopy when the lights came on. Let me know what you think!

Hi all,

So we're day 8 of 12/12 and Princess B, my revegged clone from 3rd week of flower, is really coming around now and becoming just as pretty as her cougar mother. I've done some tweaking with the lights and ventilation and was able to get the light down to about 10" from the tops and holding at about 29C (85) for light temps and 15C (69) at night. Does anyone think the 85 is too high? I also wanted to be careful it wasn't nute lockout and make it worse so I mixed a half solution and fed her bits over time as I saw progress. Then I just gave her another nice feeding of nutes and molasses. I think I had a mix of leaf burn from light exposure after spraying, along with a bit of PH imbalance (gotta get a meter next) and N deficiency. Anyway here she is all prim and proper.

Should see some seeds this week so I'll get some of those going. Have some planning and work to do on the closet though. I have to figure out how to seal it up, in a very temporary and minimally invasive manner because I rent and will be moving soon, and ventilate and odor control it. Not much of a budget left right now so has to be pretty DIY but I still have lots of time for that, otherwise I can deal with just this one plant. My closet is a typical 2x8x8 with dual folding doors and I've separated it in two with the 600 hanging off the clothes pole at the 5 foot mark. So really I'm 2x4x5, unless I really need to expand up. I'm running during the day and can bring in lots of cool fresh air to this room during the coming cool months so I really only need to seal it for odor control I guess. Maybe I'll just wait and see how that goes first. I really only have an upstairs neighbor to worry about and he's cool but still, he don't need to know my business. :finger:

Thanks duchieman! I was doing some research on bulbs for a digital ballist and found out that most HPS bulbs are not design to work with digital so a friend recommended I use sunpulse bulbs which (although MH and not HPS) are design for digital ballists and create the lighting conditions closer to what a plant needs for flowering better than most HPS bulbs on the market (I bought the 3000k rated bulb for flowering but they have 5 or 6 for each stage of growth look it up kinda cool!). Check out my grow journal, ill be switching from my regular MH to my low kelvin MH within a week!

My Blue Widows 5 weeks in veg and 2 days in Flower. Since the canopy was so even from the lst I decided to scrog as well. The bigger on is about 3' wide and 14" tall at the moment and the small is 2.5' wide and 14" tall.

Checked out your thread and again, damn your plants are sick! So you only vegged 4 weeks and still got those massive colas? Ive been worried that my plants would need way more than that to fill out like yours but I guess with the right nutes, environment and lights 4 weeks is plenty! Definitely a relief for me. Im subbed on your grow for sure, cant wait to see the final product! Seeing other peoples grows come to finish is almost as good as seeing my own finish.. almost haha
