Yo

What up everyone, im posting pics of my 2nd attempt Closet grow with a Bagseed, shes roughly about 35 days old,and 12 days into Flowering!
at exactly day 7 into flowering she reveled it was a Female :weed:
the full veg and all flowering was all done with Cfl's!Untill now that is. i just got my 600W Hps Xtrasun grow light! so im currently using my 600W Hps,6 23 W 2700K & 2 23W 6500K CFL'S. with this set up im putting out an INCREDIABLE 100800 Lumens! temps hanging around 83 for now, still messing with the temp's.Has anyone used this set up or a similar and if so what kinda results did you get with it>?for now im just using regular MG Potting soil. my first grow i used the same and seemed to work very well had no problems with it.
Also i have some Botanicare pure blend pro Fruit and Flower Formula 1.5-4-5 , when should i start using this and how often? it says to mix 1 OZ of pure blend with 4 Liters of Water. i just need to know how ofter to feed it this!
ok here are some pics of my new setup with the 600 W hps and 2 pics of Her pistils! Comments are always welcome Thanks All Ptfo!bongsmilie

Hmm i was told to keep the plant 3 feet from the light and its just over 3 feet above my plant. what do you think is a good distance with the 600W? 2 feet maybe?Thanks for the comment bro!

Does anyone know the suggested height on a 600W hps? its in a Walk in closet temps staying around 81-84. i had the hps just over 3 feet off the plant but this morning moved it down so its just over 2 feet off the plant!also i got another question. i bought that "buds for less" book, and it says that hes got his temp reader in the corner of the room does this mean that the area around the plant can reach over 85 degrees and still maintain a good grow? im confused cause hes got the CFLs soo close to the plant theres no way its staying 80 degrees or less around the plants in the book! but in the corner of the room not around the lights is were he is saying to keep the temps from 60-80, and this is what im confused on.
any input would be great Thank's

Theres been outstanding growth in the passed 9 days sense she showed signs of sex,and me getting my 600W hps, currecntly the light is 24 inches from the plant and it seems to be great!.Im gonna post some new pics of my plant and also my NEW HTGsupply 4 sided refector hood, things amazing! Well what happend is i ordered my 400W hps from htgsupply, then i seen a guy selling a 600W that was barily used for the same price Localy. the thing was it had a home made hood so when i received my 400W from htp supply i Switched out reflectors and sold the Brand new 400W with the used refector for 130 to my buddie i work with so it worked out well for both of us! anyways heres some pics of the plant/new Hood and setup!

How is your watering schedule? They looked droopy day 16, and a bit now. They suck up a lot of water during flowering so watch that. They look beautiful tho! Keep up the great work.

I agree with the water thing. Try and get your CFLs closer they are only effective for a couple of inches.

Put your hands close to the bulbs and if it is too hot for your hand it is too hot for the plant. Place it where it is warm but not hot.

Yea i adjust the lights as i turn the plant. i try to get the cfls as close to the plant as i can. usually about 2-3 inches away, i dont wanna burn the plant though as the CFLS are just to get the lower branches and the 600W hps does the rest,i had the Cfls already and dont wanna waste them,I started as a Pure CFLer but had to buy an HID lol.

thanks for the comments guys bongsmilie

One last thing, consider making cheap mylar reflectors out of cardboard and gift bag mylar stuffing found at any party supply place in the fancy paper bag isle.

Good luck!

First that is one nice looking Lady Bro. I would not worry about the pistils it's all in the trichs, get a mini scope and check them and depending on the type of buzz that you are going for thats when you take her down.

Thanks for the comments guys!
Yea of course the yeild im hoping for as much as possable, when i started Flowering her i was still just using pure CFLS , and really wasin't planning on getting an Hps, so i put her into flowering very early. prob was only like 3 1/2 to 4 inches tall and 23 days laters shes more then Tripled/Quadrupled in size
i have it Tied down so the lights can get down lower and produce a bit better lower nugs! she is prob around 14-15 inches tall in some points and looking VERY VERY healthy in my opinion!the trich's are comming in Like crazy and shes finally starting to put off a Very Tangie smell when i touch her and smell my fingers it makes my mouth water and im not even over exadurating!HAHA
Thanks for all who looked and Appriciate the ones that left comments!
i'll post more pics from today later on tonight! ight PCE
