This is my second grow using some kush bagseed. Started vegging around the second week of Dec and started training on 12/31/08.

Started vegging under 3x 40w cfl's but have since moved it under the 150w HPS since Im done flowering everything else for now.

Im using FF Ocean Forest and the 3 pack FF Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom.

I have 4 other kush bagseed plants vegging right now that are 3 weeks younger. I want everything to go into flower at the same time. My plan is to train this lst plant around the circle as far as I can get it before the other 4 plants are ready to flower. Then they all go under 12/12 at the same time to avoid confusion.

Anyways on to some pics!

looking good man Im looking at getting a wardrobe as well to do my grow, im using a set of drawers right now, but havent quite got the room I want, and its a real bitch getting to my girls in the back. I was wondering if you might share some knowledge, how hot does it get inside, do you need to the cooltube or just doing it for good measure, are you doing 12/12 all the way through, and have you grown with ur 150 before? and what kinda yield did you get? thanks man sorry if i asked a question u already answered, got this short term memory loss thingy. Peace

Temps in my grow closet hovers around 75 on a cool day and jumps to 82 when its warm out. This is too hot for me thus why Im putting together a cool tube. I have to keep the doors open in it all day but its not so much a stealth grow so it works out but Id still like to know I can hide it all if I need to.

This is my 2nd grow with the 150w hps. First harvest had a ton of problems and was harvested early but yeilded 8.2g dry. Growing at 18/6 until flower.

nice looking plant. are you planning to go all the way around the pot? i've never seen a plant lst'd to that extent, so this will be something i look forward to checking out.

it looks like you got some plants in see thru cups, i dont think this is a good idea because the roots dont like light. you could put some tape around or put the cup in an opaque cup. also good to see youre keeping your temps down. im not as lucky.... i got the 150w sunystem with ballast and bulb in one, as well as about 130w of CFL, and it gets hot, over 100 degrees. all i got is a 130cfm fan exhausting thru my scrubber atm, but im waiting for a second one. my cab is about the same size (18 X 30 X 60)

I will take it as far as I can get it until my other plant are around 10-12" tall and go into flower.

Thanks for the advise. Ill get some tape wrapped around those clear containers asap.

As for the temps the highest I ever see is around 86 but thats when I leave a window shut or leave a fan off for too long. I find the small fan blowing directly onto the bulb help the most. The exhaust fan at the top dropped the cab a few degrees too though.

Up to 10 shoots today! Things growin like mad! Seems like it may actually end up being too much plant for my little 150w hps... lol

Any comments/suggestions welcome....

looks pretty interesting to me man. I have four two-week old Northern lights under a 150W HPS, so I'll be here checking your shit out a lot.

I was thinking about LST them as well, how much time does that add to the vegetative stage though, I'm a little bit of tight schedule.

Other than that everything looks pretty sick to me, keep it up!

Thanks man...

Yeah it will definately add to veg time but I think the end results will be worth it.

This grow has me very curious - I love it!

I'll be checking in frequently... I hope this goes well!

Just a vague question - if you wanted that LST to go all the way around the pot, how long (in total) do you think that plant would be in veg for?

Thanks!
