250w HPS Club And Help Guide

[Doobieus]

Started 12/12 cycle last night, still not sure on the sex of the Northern Lights plants, the White Dwarf is still too young to flower so I will be moving it upstairs on lights out period. Plants have responded very well to their new pots and soil. I am hitting the lower nodes with a few CFL's also.

Looking good Ceebus, the purple/red in the stems are a sign that your plants are lacking a little Mag or Phosphorus (Or it's too cold at nights) not a big deal but if it gets worse I wanted to give you a heads up on it so you knew what to do.

Keep up the good work .

Yeah we're trying to make it back out there eventually because her mostly all her family lives out there. Yeah dude no doubt we'd have a great time. Plus we could exchange home grown lol and grow methods and stuff .

Yeah most of my gay male friends went through some resentment from their brothers when they came out, it's really not that uncommon. What is uncommon however (In my experience) is the brothers coming around like yourself and accepting things the way they are .

Love peace and chicken grease.

Never really been what people call Homo-Phobe.But i do get called a redneck and a racist alot though.I guess that is because i was born in South Carolina and Cherish my southern Heritage.

Lol I have a lot of redneck friends, Hot damn and wild turkey.... oooh such horrible hang overs. Hopefully you're not racist against Asians lol, then again.... I can be pretty racist against my own race even at times lol.

I hear you on Southern pride dude, I used to live in ATL, so I know it goes lol.

By the way sorry for the double post lol, and I'm probably gonna be gone for awhile when we're moving and getting internet turned on and all that good stuff. We're moving in like 2-3 weeks and I may be gone for up to a month. Actually scratch that I have a Blackberry lol, but I probably won't be on as much to help because of the move. Thought I'd just give you guys a heads up.

Well being in Florida I would hope you would have a lot of Asian friends lol. I won't be gone that long, just a couple weeks, worst case scenario I'll be gone for a month. Lol it's all good Mind you and Wretched have things handled just fine when I'm not around so I think you'll be fine without me helping out. I'm gonna miss the club too as weird as that sounds lol, but seriously it's kinda fun helping people and shooting the shit with you guys. If anything I can steal wireless from someone or go to a public library.... Gotta find my card from like years and years and years ago though.. lol.

 

[Mindmelted]

We will try and make ya proud.Got a truck backing in for unloading.Got go bust ass for awhile.
Smoke a big fatty for me.LOL

so my first WR seed has poked through the soil surface in its "rubbermaid greenhouse" when my artificial sun comes up today (250W MH) can I put it under the light for 18/6 and how far away?

I have 2 150W replacement CFL (2600 Lumens each) should I use those for today? I'd rather not use any extra electricity since the 250W will be on, but if it will make a significant difference using the CFL I would use those for now I guess

 

[Doobieus]

Make me proud? Pffft, lol you guys got this covered like I said before, I'm not worried lol.

Don't worry dude I got you covered .

Depending on your temps....

If it's over 80 degrees (Which I hope isn't the case lol) in there I'd say stick with the CFL's to prevent frying the babies.

If your heat is fine (68-ish low 78 high) then I'd go with the MH between 6-8 inches above the babies until they grow stronger to prevent risk of frying. When they're strong enough you would want to lower the MH down to 4-6 inches above your canopy, to get proper lumen output.

The MH will have more lumens period, and that'd be the best way to go. However if your temps are way too hot then you don't want to fry out your plants.

Hope this helps you out some.

thanks so much for giving me this answer in time for sunrise! my temps usually dont go past maybe 79 and I can definitly make sure it stays lower that 78 for these first few days....wish me luck!


also since I saw 4 spider mites and killed em in 2 days I re sanitized my grow room and have done 3 or 4 inspections with a magnifying glass....I have 1 plant with a lot of marks on it maybe from the mites, I dont think its nute burn none of the other ones have it and I only gave em a tiny bit of nutes once, and another plant is just gotten really really droopy and I might rid of that one too....think Im over reacting?

No problem Jack, good luck for sure especially with those damn mites, hopefully you got all of those little bastards. Remove the most damaged leaves or just cut the damaged parts off of the leaves themselves. Just make sure that if you do remove leaves don't remove more than 30-40%. You can slowly start removing them starting with the most damaged.

Keep inspecting because you never know if they're all truly gone you know?

As far as your droopy plant if the whole plant is droopy usually that's from under watering or heat, if the leaves are just droopy but the plant is sturdy then it's over watering. If it doesn't get past 79 degrees then I highly doubt heat making the plant droopy.

This is of course a general diagnosis, pictures would help better assess the issue though.

Hope this helps.

Doobs,
What brand scrubber or diy filter do you run.

Doobs,
What brand scrubber or diy filter do you run.

None at the moment lol, I'm in veg still. I'll make one when we move more than likely. Funds are a little tight lately.

Never really had to use a carbon scrubber with the neighborhood I'm in lol. Lots of other people doing worse or more shit to keep the "eyes" off of me you know? Not to mention I generally keep to myself but am civil to my neighbors and don't fall into the stereotypical stoner category.

However since we're moving into an apt. (I find out if we're approved tomorrow) I will make one, for that extra little bit of security. Can't be too safe, especially in a nicer area lol. I really hope we get this place, it has two closets in the bedroom, one walk in and one standard. You already know what I'm thinking lol.

Why do you ask Mind?

Edit: Just wanted to clarify that even though I have no use for a carbon scrubber, does not mean I don't know how to use it, know it's function, etc. etc.. I do have friend's that use them to due to location security.

Hey team,

I have 4 plants going right now. 3 Mako Haze x White Widow. These have been doing 12/12 from seed and are only about a week old. My other baby is just showed signs of female and has been flowering for just over a week now. Thats a bagseed i found in some delicious purp.

My question is, when can i expect my MHxWW to start to show signs of sex? Right now they are 4 inches tall at the most. And im expecting it to be at least a month before they are truly into flowering, but im not too sure. Anyone know how long it takes 12/12 seedlings to show sex? I know each strain is different but im just trying to get everything planned out accordingly

I've never grown straight 12/12 so I wouldn't really know....

Generally it takes up to the 11th node usually or 4-9 weeks from seed to show sex. Considering you're force flowering it from the get go I would imagine that it would show within the 4 week period, if not sooner.

Maybe someone who's actually done this 12/12 from seed before will have more info.

Hope this helps.

high this is my second grow with my 250w mh for veg and hps for flower in a 2x4x5 tent a 45 cfm exhaust fan runnin to my hood other end open just started a 1 white widow and a 2 blue berry bagseed and 2 others from some pretty good stuff i was wondering if this was enough light i am going to ad about 4-6 cfls underneath the canopy to shine up the get the lower nodesmy temps so far are staying mid low 90s ima start a journal when the all sprout i plant germinated seed mon and sprouted tue so im excited to see m

Hey Chk, welcome to the club .

You figure the sun puts out about 10k lumens per square foot, a MH at 4-5 inches gives out about 37k-57k lumens. So 5 plants is possible, but 4 would probably benefit more all around. Since they are babies still I'd reccomend hanging the light 6 inches above for the moment, then lowering it back down when they're older. CFL's are not needed to be honest, it would cause extra heat.

Also you need some more ventilation and your heat should stay between 68 low and 78 high, especially if you plan on adding supplemental CFL lighting. Having the temps in the low 90's is going to stunt growth as well as impact the plants in other negative ways.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything like that, just trying to help out a little bit. Hope this helps some .

Got up in the attic yesterday and boy you relly could smell the white berry.My scrubber is not doing the job,and i just replaced the charcoal in it.So just seeing whats out there and what other growers like to use.I think i am just going to make on to go on the end of the exhaust.Hope you get your apt, that extra closet will be the bomb.Have a wonderful and stoney day lol.
