Thanks man. I'm not giving up I've seen the great growth up to a point anyway. I was just trying to experiment with what I had on hand and make my mistakes now vs later.

Very wise!! I did the same thing with my first plant. Made my mistakes with it, and learned from there. It turned out to be the runt of my plants, and the one I harvested last night. But, I learned so much from that plant, that I really don't care that I will only get a few ounces out of it. The knowledge I gained from it on how to successfully grow DWC hydro was invaluable, and worth every bit of pot lost...

My other plants are huge and healthy and will more than make up for the small loss I took with that plant.

Good luck to you OregonMeds. I think you're on a path to new experiences. DWC is a great way to grow, and the potential is such that it is worth it to give it a try, learn, go through the trial and error periods, and reap the rewards... I'm absolutely positive that a guy with your experience will quickly get your system dialed in and grow some kick ass weed!!!

If you ever have ANY questions, feel free to PM me with them. I've pretty much made most of the mistakes you can and I'm always happy to help.... If I can. I'll never bullshit you. If I don't know, I will tell you I don't know. I'll never spout off a raft of shit just to sound like I know what I'm talking about. That helps nobody!!

Ur killing us!!!!!!!!!!

his hand must be too cramped to type from all the clipping lol

I'm sorry guys... I know I know... I dieing too.. But they're just not ready yet. I read this website talking about white rhino, and one thing it talked about was to experience the full "whiteness" of this strain, you need to let it flower 10 weeks (though it can be harvested after 9)... that's 70 days, and today is day 68 so we're damn close... Plus, I'm still not seeing enough milky and amber trich's yet. There are a few here and there, but not quite enough yet. So, I'm doing my best to be patient....heheh.

here's the webpage I was talking about: http://www.kindgreenbuds.com/marijuana-strains/white_rhino.html

Holy cow, the hockey mask photo is unreal. Curling that would give you biceps!
Can I ask you to add some detail on your experience with the different sizes of hoods? Do you mean a smaller hood delivers more concentrated light, or a big one doesn't waste it in reflection? Or something else?
Wow man, you should be proud. Those plants came from a lot more than good equipment---You've got talent!

Hi man...Thanks for stopping by and for the compliment. I'm still learning, but am getting the hang of it. It's the best hobby in the world, and I've enjoyed learning how to do it with good results.

Actually, the smaller the hood, the less light is dispersed "outward" and focuses more of the light straight down on the plant. This causes a lot less of the cola's to receive the light they need to produce good bud mass.

The hoods that I have that are larger let more light "all the way around" the plant...if that makes any sense. it covers more of the cola's and produces a lot more bud mass on each of them. My favorite hood size right now is 24"x24"x24"x24" it kicks ass and disperses the light perfectly. I only have one that size at the moment, but it definitely shows the difference in plant size, amount of colas, and bud mass per cola. It's a huge difference compared to one of my other hoods that is only 12"x20"x12"x20". The plant under it produced a bit less. I will soon have only the larger size hoods in my rooms. Just have to save up the $ to buy them first... heheh...

Take it easy man. And happy harvests to ya!!

Amazing thread. Learned quite a bit. Keep us posted. Subscribed.

Very interested in hearing about your experience with different hoods, that in and of itself merits a thread. I have often searched for information about different sized hoods.

I am currently using one 400 to grow 4 plants with relative success, but yours is incredible. I like your strategy.

As far as hoods go, my room is 4x5 and 8 height, I am about to upgrade to 2 400w hps aircooled reflectors. I am currently looking at much smaller hoods that you describe, I DWC as well with the same style Rez's. I was hoping in that smaller size space, the smaller reflectors wouldnt be bad because they would direct it right over the rez's and keep light from spreading over the bulbs and filling unneccesary parts of the room... what do you think about two smaller air cooled hoods in a smaller size? Or should I spend the extra 30-50 to upgrade to larger reflectors and fill the roof of my room with glassed in hoods?

Thanks in advance.

And again amazing thread, cant weight to hear you yeild.

I'll be honest with you, I think in the long run you'll be much happier with the larger hoods. The light dispersion will help catch the outside colas, producing more bud for you. If you can afford it, pick up the larger ones now instead of finding out later that you wish you would have got them... If not, the smaller ones will work, but they won't catch the outside of the plants as well as you'd like with out having them raised up higher....Which will cause your colas to stretch more than you'd like as well...

Well, the runt plant that I harvested finally dried out... It yielded close to 3 ounces, less than I hoped, but better than I thought. Like I said, this plant was a runt... I hoped to nurture her along, but she just wasn't strong enough to give me the bud I was hoping for. heheheh. That's ok. The other 3 will more than make up for her failure!!

Anyways, looks like I might be harvesting a plant tonight... If not tonight, tomorrow for sure. In fact, tomorrow is day 70, so they'll all be coming down. The trich's are looking really good. almost right where I want them to be... Finger's crossed..

Now, for a smoke report:

Man, I'm baked. Hard!!! White Rhino has such an intense, deep, heavy, all over body high that it's almost narcotic. And that is exactly why I like it. I've always enjoyed indica's over sativa's for just this reason... As for taste, it's sweet and spicy...kind of like sugar mixed with pepper or something.. hahah, that's funny. Man, I am stoned...who the hell would mix sugar with pepper?

-S

PS
lots and lots of pics will be coming very soon, I promise!!! I have some amazing colas to show you all!!!! Until then, I'll leave you with a pic of my double bubble...I love that bong!! Notice there's still smoke in the neck... I couldn't take down the whole carb, damnit...I thought my lungs were going to explode!!! heheh.

I laughed soo hard at sugar and pepper mixed... who the hell would mix pepper and sugar. haha

Good to hear the good word about the smoke. Haven't grown White Rhino, if I did it'd be the Greenhouse Seeds version, sounds like you have your hands on some rare shit handed down through friends: thats the best.

Nice bong as well. But you should clean it! Especially for that fresh tasting dankness your gonna be snapping through that slider. Use 91% Rubbing Alcohol and Dish washing detergent powder to make a sludge and shake the shit out of it- it'll act as an abrasive cleaner and scratch the resin off of every nook and cranny of your bong leaving it clean tasting and good looking!

We clean our 18" kong and Phire Smoke-A-Phone weekly, our spoons less often- but still gotta have that head shop shine every once in a while

Thanks for the advice bro, but me and my buddies pride ourselves on dirty bongs... It's a badge of honor, and a bit of a competition... Who has the dirtiest most resined up bong.

I have one that I keep clean. it's a smaller version of the one in the pic. And I'll be honest, I really don't notice that much of a difference in flavor. Of course, my tastes buds are pretty burned up a bit, cause I do have friends that tell me they can taste a big difference...

PS
I am definitely lucky to have this strain. It's such a kick ass strain of white rhino. Good luck to you if you ever buy some WR seeds. I hope you get a really god strain as well!!!

Still looking forward to hearing the results. Dood you DESERVE a better bong,
im poor as balls and this is what i hit, Although mine isnt as clean as in that picture lol

But yo youve obviously spent alot of money on your set up so this next bowl goes out to u bro!

Thanks Brother!!! Appreciate it! And damn, man...Cool fuggin bong dude!!! I like it.

My double bubble is actually a pretty cool bong. It's got this cool percolator in the upper chamber for the 2ndary filter to the water. It actually delivers a pretty smooth hit and gets you hella stoned!! But, shit man, it's like 20+ years old (well, actually the bong itself is not that old, we've been using the same type of bong since we were 16). They make some really cool bongs nowadays....Maybe it is time for me to upgrade. I'll check the "water-pipes" out the next time I'm at the head shop...heheh.

Hey all,

My plants are done, and ready to be harvested. They just went to sleep for the day. When they wake up tonight, I'll be there with my FISKAR's in hand (the BEST pruning scissors ever!).

Until then, here are a few pre-harvest pics I took this morning. Notice how white the colas are now (pure THC whiteness!!). I let them go the full 10 weeks flowering to insure that I got the full "White" Rhino effect.

-S

PS
70 fuggin days flowering!!! sheesh... That was a hard stretch. Especially the last week, since you can actually harvest at week 9 and the pot is fine. But to get the full "white" effect, it's suggested to go the full 10 weeks.. Which of course, I always will!

B-e-a-utiful. Wow.

that's pretty fuckin' awesome dude and yup, I love my fiskars!

I think if you let it go 11 weeks, the thc frost is gonna turn into diamonds heheheh

My last grow outdoor grow, i had a plant i named chuck norris that had 25+ colas on it. That was the biggest producer i have ever grown. The rest had like 15 or so. FIM the fuck out of your FIM and LST it like it just slept with your mom!!!!

Truely nice work bro, those are some damn fine looking buds man. They looks sugary.
