I dont think so, I havent scrogged yet, but Im gonna let them get bigger then most do. Why have buds barely making it above the screen when you could have at least 4-6 inch colas. Some of my strains dont stretch so Im gonna let em fill the screen and grow above it. Some stretch alot so Ill flower before they fill it.

Now that we have that out the way lets start with the unoffical smoke report,since i have not let it cure yet, this smoke report will be baically about potency and smell...First of all let me say dispite the trouble with this grow, if you are thinking of growing this BLZ strain do it soon, in my opinion it is going to live up to every bit of hype that comes with it. This smoke is very very strong indeed,im sure as it is now, it is not at it's best until final cure but it is to me and my peeps, definately couch lock stone type of high powerful..The only issue my wife had with it, is that the smoke is very heavy and not all tuity fruity like she likes her smoke, i dont mind the lack of fruitiness but be warned it has that raw NYD taste to it not much like an indica, yet you can definately taste the strong Haze influence in it along with the G13. So if you are looking for beautiful taste above all you may want to go another route, but if it's a true stone your after then you are in the right place my friend. I like a good social smoke at times myself and this is not one of them, after a couple of grams we turned into cynder blocks we did'nt even realize our cd had stopped playing and was skipping..The last one i cut down was really sticky and resin filled, unlike the one i smoked so i cant wait for the dry and cure to finish up and i'll give another report on that and see if the tase is any different .Oh yes by the way it does'nt smell like anything ive smelled before when cutting it down it reeked sort of like sour diesel, as you see the theme i keep coming back to the diesel strain for some reason but thats what it reminds me of just much more potent and heavy hitting....Hey thanks for listening and to all of you that want to try i say go for it you'lll be glad you did if done right..Peace

I'll post some better pic's after they dry..

Pi's are: 1-2 BLZ BUDS/#3 WW/4-5 all together buds and popcorn....

So how much you think you got stink? Thats off your 250? GOtta be a dank strain, that stony and honestly looks on the immature side. Did it still smell after a quick dry?

What's up everyone? I am about to get started with a 250w HPS and MH setup, and, I wanted to let anyone close enough know about an awesome deal I came across. 250w HPS fixtures/ ballast/ and bulbs for $25 in the Syracuse Craigs List. I picked 6 up today and they have about 40 or so more. Hopefully someone is close enough to take advantage of it too. The peeps converted the warehouse over to the 4 bulb t-5 flourescents.

I just received my 250 w/ electronic ballast from ebay. I'm waiting till my clones are showing roots to try it out. I'll post pictures another time.

Thanks.

I have a question for all you 250'ers. I plan on growing in a 4x6x8 closet in a vacant room that will be light proofed. I will be growing with the closet door slightly opened and I will section the closet into 3x3 with either mylar or panda paper depending on which one i can find around here cheap. This is my first grow and i was wondering if a 12in box fan blowing in to the closet and a another blowing out the closet from the top would be enough to keep the 250s at a good temp

Is that the lumtek one on ebay that goes for 159 shipped? Looks like a nice setup
