Club 600

See. I no joke! Wouldn't that be a kick?! And I am one of those closet Rock stars and your dream and it's odds sure beat a lottery ticket. Me, it would have to be The Trees, about 15 minutes after hauling a big bowl, just to let the groove settle in.

Before we hijack the thread again and re-name it "Slappa Da Bass, Mon!" again, here are the medicinally-enhanced cookies I wrote about earlier.
A buddy and his wife are going to see if the local dispensaries would be into carrying them.
Supposed to taste just like tollhouse cookies, but will mess you up for 4 to 6 hours. I'll be getting a sample cookie this coming Saturday for my first try at an edible.
If it pleases me thusly, I shall set about to devoting my trimmings & sugar leaves to being rendered out into cannabutter for similar baking projects at home.

Wassup 600, Quick question. i know we all grow with 600+, but im sure some of us use cfl's for veg. anybody know how many watts of cfl i need to keep my cab happy and green. i guess im just asking how many you use. im re-doing my veg cab so i need ideas.

Depends how many plants and how large your space is. I like to fill the ceiling with t5's in my cabs and they like it alOt. Not nearly as fast as MH but its cooler and they work well. I use the Sunleaves Pioneer VIII for one cab and a Pioneer IV for my germ and seedling cab.

Hmmm... prepare for as many answers as people answering...
I clone & veg under 160watts of "mixed spectrum" 48" T-12 lighting.
Honestly haven't noticed any reduction in plant development. I have a six-fixture array of 480watts of the mixed spectrum lights, but only keep 2 fixtures burning (4 bulbs @ 40w each).
Oh, that is for up to 4 plants in 3-gallon pots, clones & seedlings I've had about 16 in cups & smaller pots.

Thanks you 2. i think my closet i may use is 2 x 4 and i was planning on using 6x24w cfls but i am not sure if that will be enough. i hate after vegging under mh to have to go back to cfl. vegging under mh's is so fast. do you think it would make more sence to use floro tubes instead?

i find that the sunblaze 28(t-5's)work wonders for vegging.

CFL vs. tube FL is a good one.
With the CFL bulbs you can put them where ever you want near your plants and also allow you to get decent penetration of light into the sides of the plants.
Adjusting 48" tube fixtures can be a pain for fast growing plants during veg.
I think I'd stick with CFL's. It's also cheaper to get it set up.

*edit: quote: genuity: i find that the sunblaze 28(t-5's)work wonders for vegging.

Yeah, those would be ideal. What are those 24" or 18"? Either way, I wish I had gone for 24" tubes rather than 48" tubes.

hey 600, on topic today: i use a 600w eye hps and i had my first one for 1 year of continous use and bought a replacement just cuz i heard someone say change 6 months. well i plugged the new bulb into my other 600 hood to see if i could spot a difference. there was none. i dont have any light meters or nothing. just my opinion.

and the real reason im here. i have failed so many times making extracts that i almost gave up. then it all clicked in my head while watching these rednecks on youtube make oil. if thc needs to be treated with kid hands while extracting and cooking and whatnot. so i thought "chocolate!"
i used a double broiler kinda, and iso alcohol. here a pic of my first run


No green tint at all and no plant smell. my second run is a different story. i let the buds soak the entire time i was batching the first. it was very green colored and had the distinct chlorphyl smell thruought the cook. on another note my kandy kush is cured and smoking. it is a little rough but has a flavor and smell that everyone comments on. dense buds that grew like little crowns on the top of each bud. pretty awesome. o, back to the oil, here are some pictures of everything.
Happy 600!

Hey 600ers, was wondering if anyone here has grown Casey Jones before? How much does she stretch during flower? I have one that's been vegging for 8 weeks. A while ago I picked up 2 clones from the dispensary, they couldn't have been much older than 2 or 3 weeks so I'm guessing mine is closer to 9 or 10 weeks.

Anyway, mine will be going into flower later this month and I was wondering if I should put her into a 3 gallon Geo pot for flowering or 5 gallon? I want to keep it around 4 - 5 feet tall max. My tallest one is 17" tall, no super cropping, lst or topping since I picked her up, the other one I super cropped to turn into a mother and she's about 14" tall. Their first 2 cuttings rooted successfully so it's time to flower one of these bitches.

From left to right, Casey Jones #2, Casey Jones #1, Chewy

I use 9 bulbs for about 200 W of power in a 2ft X 2ft x 3 ft box.

Hey 600
Im making some iso oil and am wondering how long you peeps soak it? I was thinking 24hrs for 2 runs, but is it true the longer you soak the better it will be?
Sorry I havent had time to read through yet, been busy
I'll be on later.

I need some advice from the 600 ..... I recently switched up my flowering room from my 2x4x5 tent..
this ...


To this with the open cooltube. My temps are great ...my one problem is that open end.... do i throw nylons over it to protect it from dust ...it's being exhaused by a 6 inch inline
any suggestions???? I threw this shit together with no plan really.
help or comments are appreciated.

The upside is i can space my plants apart more for better light penetration.

I think it depends on how easy it is to clean the inside of the cooltube. If it's not easy I would cover it to keep the dust out. If it's easy I would leave it open for the extra airflow and then take the bulb out once a week or so to clean the inside of the cool tube. It just needs a little wipe off is all.

I recommend at least a three day soak. I did the shake and wash and what it yielded was hash and left a lot of trich's on the trim.

yessir, thats what i said I took the cool tube out, and the MH bulb.

Damn that MTF is some good shizznitical stuffage...
I felt a need to use my little notepad in the "My Rollitup" section of my profile...
So many buds... so little time...

...The Stoned Blogger's Creed...

"This is my notepad.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My notepad is my best friend.
It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My notepad, without me, is useless.
Without my notepad, I am useless.
I must fill my notepad with truth.
I must write more legibly than my enemy who is trying to libel me.
I must biograph him before he biographs me.
I will...
My notepad and myself know that what counts in this war is not the words we write, the noise of our keyboard, nor the bodacious bong rips that we take.
We know that it is the truth that counts.
We will be truthful...
My notepad is human, even as I, because it is my life.
Thus, I will learn it as a brother.
I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its paragraphs, its sentences, its fonts and their sizes.
I will ever guard it against the ravages of lies and half-truths as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage.
I will keep my notepad clean and ready.
We will become part of each other.
We will...
Before God, I swear this creed.
My notepad and myself are the defenders of my profundity.
We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is rollitup's and there is no enemy, but peace!"

thanks alot my man! .... I think i'll just take your advice and keep it open. The extra airflow is keeping my temps perfect. i can keep the tube 4 inches away from my tops with no issues ......yet.
