You heard right Muffinman, metal halide has more of the blue end of the spectrum that your plants would need in veg. But 1000 watts . . . That is a lot more light than a 400 watter, honestly I'm not sure which to go with. Sorry for the delay in reply Littlegrower. The plants I'm getting...

Man, it's been awhile since anyone's been around. I'm just popping back in to add, anyone growing this strain is going to need a hand microscope. The hairs on the THC Bomb are absolutely not indicative of ripeness. The clones are at the same point I harvested the last ones (roughly 80% red...

Thanks Littlegrower. The next grow is coming along a little nicer. At least if the two biggest from it fill out better. But now the clones from that grow! I put one of them in a bubbler system with some hydrolux and it's just gone insane! I'll get some pics when I have more time and post them.

Those CFLs add up fast though! I tried growing with just CFLs for a while and in the end it cost about as much as a 400 watt HPS. Now the guy at the hydroshop has me almost convinced on spending the cash for a 1000 watter. Sorry I've been absent for a while. Just thought you guys would like...

I don't remember what the full wet weight was. We (my wife and I) use a food dehydrator to start the drying process. It speeds it up quite a bit but I don't dare let them get fully dry that way. Anyway the weight coming out of the dehydrator was around 8 oz. Not as much as I had hoped but . . ...

You seem a little confused. I didn't harvest at 11 weeks, I harvested at 13 weeks, but that wouldn't be "sativa time." If you look back over the thread, when I say 13 weeks I mean total; from the moment they sprouted. That means about 9 weeks in flower. The timing + the color of the hairs +...

Sorry for the late reply littlegrower. Yeah they really have. The runt's were the most impressive. The buds she had were just swollen. It's too bad there weren't more of them. So I just finished trimming them up and you called it man. The one you pointed out earlier was by far the top...

Here are some more pics for you littlegrower. The one with the yellowing leaves isn't quite as dense as it looks in the pic but the runt and the other one are rock solid. Both have very different smells though. The one in the back is kind of peppery with a smell like nag champa. The runt is much...

Week 12: Over half of the pistols have turned red, but other than that there hasn't been a lot of growth this week. So, we're switching them to straight ph balanced water to start to rinse for harvest next Friday-ish.

Week 11: Not much new. The colas on the bigger two have gotten heavy enough that they are pulling the whole plants down. On the heavier one I've actually had to tie it up. The first pics are of the clones. The effects of the Hydrolux are remarkable. There are a couple of them that I've also...

Yeah, fans are tricky. I keep reading that plants need airflow and I learned fast that they don't like a direct wind. Then I caught on that they don't even seem to like a light breeze. Come to think of it, it just seems like every time I turn on a fan in the same room as a plant it wilts. ;)

I checked the history on my thermometer (it tracks the highest and lowest temps) and it said the lowest it's gotten was 61 which should be within an acceptable range but then my wife pointed out the plant with the damage is the one that was closest to the fan. So now we've got the fan off.

The temps do get a little low at night. I'll see if there's something I can do to keep them higher. The electric heater is blocked off and we need to keep the door closed to keep it dark. Thanks!

So, I've seen fan leaves turn yellow and get droopy and crappy looking towards the end of flowering before but now one of the THC Bomb's leaves have started turning purple. Check out the pic below. What could be causing this? Is it normal?

There's no way of knowing what they end up at but right now I'd say it looks like there's about 5 oz all together. roughly 2ish on each of the big girls and one on the runt. Of course I'm hoping that'll improve before harvest. :hug:
