*21 days since the seeds popped through the soil's surface*
Well, I topped all three plants an hour ago, and dipped the tops' bases (cut at 45-deg) in rooting compound before planting them in small grow cups and sprayed them every which way but loose with anti-wilting juice. Made sure my pruning shears & the razor blade were scrubbed & cleaned with detergent & "sterilized" them with Lysol before cutting off the stems of the lowest nodes and cutting at 45-deg. angles.
The cuttings are in 4-oz cups (with drainage holes) filled with a wetted perlite-to-soil ratio of 66/33 and each cutting is enclosed in it's own 10-gallon Sterilite container (with clear plastic) with water in the trays and in the bottom of the containers for humidity.
Not worried about the topping (have done it a few times before), but it's my first attempt at cloning, so my fingers are crossed for the cuttings to make roots and continue on!

If its a digital ballast you should be fine. With magnetic, they have to be switchblade to run both.

The 600 will be fine for veg, particularly if you have a mh conversion bulb. I'm using one and the additional stretch is unnoticable.
Do not use a mh bulb in a hps ballast...something gonna break


cof

I use my 400 ballast to run MH and HPS and it is an old school magnetic. No harmful effects in the past 6 months...

I have to say, most magnetic ballasts will run both, unless they are really old....mine do anyway. I do have a really old ballast that say's for HPS 400. The others just read a wattage though.

Bassman, you should be fine for using an HPS to veg..most modern bulds have duel spectrums to some degree...

Nice one LG, you ready for the chop soon?

Soime folks say rooting the top of a plant is hard but having donw it a load of times I don't see much difference.....good luck with it Doob.


p.s, whats the cardboard attachment for? LST?

Looking frosty there P!!

Happy Friday folks,

my rhino clones 3rd week from when i got them

 

[DST]

coming along nicely bud..when you flipping them?

my rhino clones 3rd week from when i got them

 

[ghb]

budolskie dont be scared to keep em all under the 600, you could easily flower them all under one light providing you can try and kep the canopy even and you flip now. it might take them an extra week to finish up, you'll be pleased with the results i'm sure. i would also look at removing some of the lower growth and branches

edit: what is that hanging from your light?

I think it's just a string with a weight to determine optimal distance from light to canopy.

Thanks D!
Even it I fail at my first cloning attempt, I'm sure I'll learn something to apply to my next try.
I taped the cardboard to the sides of the pots as windbreaks to protect the leaves from transpiring excessively as the oscillating fan blows back & forth.
I also had to tape a small piece to the intake fan because it was blowing quite hard on one of the plants as they've grown tall enough to get more directly into the air flow (sucking air from an open window behind my growbox, and it's about 40f at night).
I'm doing 18 hours on & 6 hours off (off at 6-am, and on at 12-noon).
The intake fan is thermostat controlled, and I manually operate the exhaust fan to turn it off shortly after lights-out, and turn it back on when the lights come on.
Keeps the lights-on temperatures at a comfortable 78f, and drops down to about 65f to 68f when the lights are off.
Instead of sealing the ducted light hood with the glass plate I bought for it, I let the exhaust fan suck out the hot air from the growbox: with the glass in place the temperatures get out of control real quick unless I use a bunch of fans, which gets really noisy in our small apartment.
Hope you have a good Friday!
The "Avatar" DVD came in the mail today from Netflix, so am about to watch it (probably the only sci-fi nut who has yet to watch it).
Peace!

My Tilt Effect on my 600s ! i plan on Keeping 600w MH conversion and HPS running entire phase of 12/12. Hoping for the Best. v Below is my link.

its just a wieght and string for distance for my light and would it not be better to put 9 in another room and let them get to about 24 inch b4 i flip? would i not get more bud then

 

[ghb]

you would get more bud, you would also be spending money on electricity and another growing set up and have to wait longer to harvest. my friend is growing 20 plants under each 600, they weren't much smaller than yours when he flipped the lights down to 12/12. less heat, less power consumtion and it keeps all of your grow concealed in that nice litle closet you have, maybe take one out and keep as a mother and throw it under a cfl, that way you can keep it going as a mum if you like the smoke, you'll also be self sufficient.


my two cents my friend

I really liked Avatar (went to the flicks with my wife to watch it, and even she liked it)...I thought it was a real cool film, great in 3D (I tend to ignore critics and films websites.) Hope you enjoy!!!

Interesting, are you going to move the plants around, or will one side be gettting MH and the other HPS? Thanks for sharing, always great to see peeps trying some new stuff out. Please keep us posted!

Bigger plants, more lights = more weight. I think if you let them veg for an extra week or so then yes. Once you start getting involved in much longer veg times then you need to work out the best set up for your needs.

I will be rotating the girls every 2-3 days entire grow. Hoping to get more trich production

my two cents my friend

so if i switch these to 12/12 say about a week when there say 10,12 " i should still get a good yeild? im buying seeds next time again to try a scrog in there with just a couple of plants

 

[DST]

Sweet, same thinking I am going with and I must admit, I have been happy with the resuls last two grows. I have 2 600's (HPS) and also threw in a 400mh into the middle of my light tower to get more blue in there, the calyxes go wild!!!

If you are going to switch them over in a week, try reducing your light timer by an hour per day, they will continue to grow and by the tiem you hit 12/12 next week you will have pre flowers bursting through already...and yes, thos girls should give you about an ounce each at that height....do that math(s) on that. lol.

i have been told to let them grow to about 24inch and i will get about 3 to 4 oz a plant thats why a was planning hoying 9 along me mothers and my 9 in here 18 x 3-4 a plant i was thinking
