After many screw ups i got it!

after my hydro pump blew up and put oil in my res. and then my metal halide outer glass broke and i still used it which also gave me third degree sun burns and nuked all my plants i figured i woul go back to what i know....soil... but i havnt given up on hydro i started some new clones and am being patient this time round here is my new clones and i moved from closet to garage......

las two pics

beatdown how you like growing in those big rubbermaid containers? What advantage is there over individual pots?

lounge

i dont know the disavantages but my plants were outgrowing there pots and i figured 15 gal containers would let them stretch out a bit plus they were on sale at depot 3 for ten bucks.....anyhow i still need to divide my room into three sections one for veg one for flowering and one for my dro

i just picked up another htg 400 watt balast and hood it has a mh coversion bulb in it i was wandering if i should leave the mh in it as i would be running hps and mh or do you guys think i should run 800 watts of solid hps spectrum when i start flowering in two weeks?

these baby's are loving it.....im growing with botanicare pro bloom and an sweetleaf......excellent combo......now looking at my other pics i can see a tremendous difference in growth and they are all girls all six of em two per 18 gallon container....if you look at my grow please leave me some feedbackout

ok when you look at my first pics... i got these clones as a gift......i am using fox farms ocean forest soil.....3 18 gal containers to minimize them going root bound... i was using botanicre pro grow and liquid karma for veg, when i put them into flower i started using botanicare pto bloom and advanced nutriens sweet leaf....awsome combo its time for me to bulid that diy carbon filter and hook my 960 cfm blower up as they smell yummy wifey love em she talks to em i told her it is rude to smoke their couzins infront of them........they are drinking about a gallon per tub a day..... that lat pic is of my homemade hydro set up two of the unhealthy plants are my first ever clones they have good root system so ima let em go see what they do and then the rest are bag seed
... any coments are welcome

Good grow! Can't wait to see the fruit. So, have you settled on 800w HPS for flowering?

aas of right now i am using 1 400 hps 1 400 mh.....i have a 1000watt mh ballast i am going to hook that up and then run the 2 400's with the hps and the 1000 mh for six plants i sould get some dense nuggies thats alot of light and i have to means to get rid of the heat.......i am axiuos to see how it tuns out myself thanks for stopping by

ok so here i am at the 4th week of flowering man i dont care what anybody says about using mh for flower let me tell you from my standpoint of using 2 400watt hps and 1 1000watt mh my bitches are just amazing the shit out of me one of my containers contained two plants that when i got them they were growing outwards like a bush as soon as i put the 1000 mh on them on the second day they had grown upwards 2.5 inches at one week the had nugget sites all over dense and tight clusters.......dont just go by what you are told break free and try something different.....anyways my purple grape ape is acting wierd but ahead of all my other plants it has trichomes eveywhere and pistols to the max but the lil bastard is only like 18" tall and my others are upward of 3' wtf so here are some pics and i dont wanna hear nottin bout my camera sucks i know but i tried.......

ok the plants in the bags are all purple urkle......a friend gave them to me he decided he was doing so good with hydro he didnt want anything to do with soil....so none the less the are hella neglected and malnurished i need to baby them back to good health......i dont know how tru it is but i read a couple of times that you can only get grape ape and real purple urkle in clone form......well i think one of these lil girls is going hermie......if that is the case can i put it somewhere else and force it into a male to produce seeds and pollen feedback needed

damn its running so slow i cant get the rest of my pics up wtf

YUP!.

two forces colided and became a supernova......do the math.....

crazy... never tried more than one per pot... i think the only reason ur having ok results is the good investments in lights and ventilation.... thats one hell of a light arrangement for your setup, how much did that all run you? and also.... i think it has alot to do with luck this time around. How long have you been growing soil?

not trying to down talk. but ive never seen luck like that in that situation....

most times ive seen two plants in one medium... ive seen plants kill eachother... become to rootbound... and these were under less light... lol

on a side note, way to go with the foxfarm ocean forest... should be using foxfarm nutes too (just my opinion)

Ive had nothing but excellent results with 2 plants to one pot,no problems with one plant killing the other,no problems with stunted growth,no problems with deformations,no problems at all.

However i do seperate each root mass with a plastic divider,some roots still get through but ive had no adverse effects,if i was going to grow in soil again i would only use the 2 plant to 1 pot method.

Lovely plants

have fun growing
