150w HPS Club: Inspirational Resource

Thanks for the responses....I guess I just get weird when something I havnt seen happens...

Word. theyre fine bro as the others said

Frosty

Just moved two clones of my White Widow in to my new flower room today. This my 2nd grow and I liked the 150 so much I bought another one and made a cool tube set-up for them...

So about 60 days form now I hope to see another crop ready to cure...

This is a great hobby....

I will try to put some pics up of the new space soon.

Peace

here my setup thanks to bxke1414

Alright guys, I need some help.

I have a box that is about 1 foot deep, 2 feet wide, and 3 1/3 feet tall. I want to turn it into a stealth growbox but before I spend the money I wanted to consult the experts.


These are my rough plans, Are they possible?


I was going to pull in air in two places to minimize the heat in the box(i grew with 400 fake watts of CFL's in there and it got to be over 100 degrees if I didnt vent the box by leaving the doors open) and have one passive outtake hole. I was also going to build a cooltube and have it be a closed system with a fan on the back of the box blowing air into the ducting which will then pass through the cool tube and through ducting and out another hole in the back.

The modified wick system is an experiment that is on going. This past try I put a tray of water out, aerated it, filled it with a mild nutrient solution and then put a cup containing a 1-1-1 mixture of vermiculite, perlite, and stryofoam directly into the solution and watched what happened, the plants are doing amazing. So I was going to do something along those lines, or just a straight up DWC(i guess in my case it would be a shallow water culture), but whatever.

With just 2 square feet of space the 150w will give me 75w/square foot, however I was thinking about getting a 250(way overkill I know) because I was thinking it would be more versitile for uses in the future. Would this much light (125w/square foot) be detrimental to the plants?

And of course, the box would be painted with a flat white matte(currently spray painted white, horrible idea, just looks shitty)

Any comments, complaints, suggestions, anythings would be greatly appreciated. I am currently on my second grow of bagseed(using a 400w HPS my friend loaned me, the plants are about 3 weeks from harvest, give or take, I have one clearly indica plant and two sativa hybrids, and two clones growing in the modified wick system, one of each of the sativas), once I get this box in order I want to buy some real seeds and go from there, so strain suggestions for a space this small would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help!

P.S. Long time lurker here, I joined several months after I started reading the threads. I just never felt the inclination to post. Glad to see that i finally got my first one up there.

Hi P1gs, Welcome... your cab sounds kinda cool, i would comment more but i'm hella baked.
maybe later..

peace.

Just double checked the calendar and today is day 14 for these Auto ECSD x UK cheese..These are the fastest autos i've ever made, they usually show sex around 17 days and flower a couple of days later but these showed sex around 9 or 10 days...



Just thought i'd share the projects progress.

looks good frosty. whats ecsd stand for?

Heres a few snaps of my newest ladies!

The 2 footer is about 2 weeks in and suckin up N like crazy, the little 4 inchers who were in shock for over a month just started showing pistols yesterday! Never seen a plant flower so small...

Bomb, the ECSDs buds were so sexy, beautiful dark red hairs, i felt my eyes sink after 1 hit, lol. Sorry no pics, but im looking to start an op. in this room im renting, i already designed a cap and will be starting construction tomorrow, ill be sure to get some pics, via a dam cell phone camera if need be. I still have 3 beans and there germin now, im looking to get at least 20 seeds and or clones.

ANyways, i hope to be back in the rythem here.

Told ya my shit was nice
Were they a snap to grow like i said???
And how well did they yield for ya??

I think i'm gonna cross Big Bud into the strain next round, for a lil extra yield... then it back to the LOOOOONG task of cross breeding to get the ECSD characteristics back.
You better do some breeding to keep my genes going and give me the props, or ima come whip your ass
j/k

Also the next batch of Auto ECSD x UK cheese are currently being pollinated.. Theyre all 100% stable, show sex within 9 days, average 22" in flowering, then just get a lil taller as they pack on weight.
I'll hook ya u with some more beans..
Also, as i said hell knows how many pages back, there will be another comp in this thread for some of the Auto ECSD x Cheese, nothing too tasking, we're stoners after all.
Not too sure on the numbers i'll be giving away, depends on how many i get from the 4 fems i'm using.


Peace all.

Frosty

yeah joeyjoejoe it East Coast sour....

I wanted to show off my girlies so i took some pics before i put them to bed tonight. I've got 4 plants in flowering, all THC Bomb from marijuana-seeds.nl. (So far so good, 7/8 germinated and 6/7 were female). I cant tell exactly how long these have been in flowering, I havent kept track, so these are estimates.

Pic 1 - All the plants, plus 3 bagseeds in 16 oz cups, 12/12 from seed.

Pic 2 - I want to say 3 weeks flowering. Its been in the longest out of the 4.

Pic 3 - About a week behind plant #1. So about 2 weeks flowering.

Pic 4 - 3-4 days behind plant #2. This one was lollipopped.

Pic 5 - Went into flowering 2 days ago. She has been topped twice. Going to tie her down soon.

Let me know what you think!

from my time using 150w ,on this my 1st grow. im a avid ICMAG lurker i've read that hold the back of your hand under the light to judge how close you want the light. i found this method works fine with air blowing in and exhaust pulling hot air out. hope this 150w thread gets as useful here as on ICMAG.

So ive decided to quit lurking and post my grow op since im 2 days away from flipping my plants to 12/12. Im planning on doing a grow journal on another thread detailing my grow but for now im gonna entertain you all with my current progress. I have a Homebox S housing a cool tube 150 watt HPS. There are 4 plants, 4 strains(Bubble Dust, Mazar-I-Sharif, Mummia, and a clone of Aurora Indica). All plants have been vegging for 3 1/2 weeks and are doing great. Im using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and this stuff is amazing. I havnt even had to use any liquid nutes during this entire veg period and have had no deficiencies, like I said this soil is amazing. I will be using Fox Farm Trio for the flower period just to give some extra boost in bud production. Im not sure what else I should say so o to PICS..pic 1 is the outside of my homebox, pic 2 is the inside back when my plants were just runts, pic 3 is the inside just a few days ago, pic 4 is the aurora clone, as you can see, there is some Mag Def which was there before I even got the clone, pic 5 is the mazar, pic 6 is the bubble dust and pic 7 is the mummia. There will be more to come once flower begins. If there are any questions, feel free to speak. Thanks everone!

Well I went ahead and took some new pics since I found out the ones on the previous post are from a few days ago, so these pics are at 26 days veg. Temps in my cab average 76 degrees and humidity averages 40-50%. Ive got a 250 CFM inline fan blowing through the tube on the light, and ive got a 6" clip fan circulating the air inside. Ive yet to use a fan to push air into the cab. All I do is open the flaps on near the bottom of the cab and it gets plenty of fresh air, and temps stay low anyways. Now on to pics. Pic 1 is all plants together, pic 2 is my aurora clone, pic 3 is the Mazar, pic 4 is the bubble dust, pic 5 is the mummia and pic 6 s a top view of all plants. Hope you all enjoy, and cant wait for flowering to begin. Any questions or comments, please post! Thanks!

Please Daddy no! Haha ya, ofcourse.

I Got about an Ounce a plant, though we werent paying attention to PH and were just giving it Tap, so that fucked them up a bit. Again the trichomes where plentiful, they were very sticky, it was a very mello, kindof euphoric high.

YA man that sounds tight, Id love to see how the BB cross ends up, that shit gives me a smile, pretty soon your going to have the perfect marijuana plant.

Anyways sounds good, and ya man i hear ya, growing weed constantly and genetically engineering plants shouldnt be so hard damnet. This place of mine is a 100% legit.

Thats cool,atleast we now know they'll stand up to a lil abuse too.
I also noticed that they seem to be reasonably pest proof too, so far the coupla times i had mites, they havent touched the autos, but they will fuck up any other plant in the cab.

YA man that sounds tight, Id love to see how the BB cross ends up, that shit gives me a smile, pretty soon your going to have the perfect marijuana plant.
Yeah bro the BB is def the next step.. but ima see how ppl get on with these beans first, as i think they'll yield real well in the right conditions...

Anyways sounds good, and ya man i hear ya, growing weed constantly and genetically engineering plants shouldnt be so hard damnet. This place of mine is a 100% legit.
