NICE setup jay...how many do you want to have eventually growing in a space that big?

I figured out a way to expand the flowering room to over 4X4'. Six plants, 2-3 oz per plant, harvest every 3 months

only thing i can coment on is the #4 and i cant say for sure im right. but with some of the plants i have grown there have been the redish purple tint to just the stem. I have never seen it on the leaves like that. but i did some research and found somewhere that the color shows up just because its grown in a diff. climate than it originated. i guess it just means that there is just some little factor off from what the plant is use to so it changes to that color. i have not seen this become a problem before but then again it could be something different because i have never seen the leaves turn that color.

Thanks for your response!! But I hope you're wrong and I end up with a beautiful, purple plant!!!

Stay posted to find out!!!

that for sure would be nice to see a nice purple

I moved the T-5 flouro closer to the sprouts, about 4-5" away

i would put that light even closer if you can and throw a fan onto them babys. you want the light as close as possible with out burning them. you can put it realy realy close then put a fan on the plants and it will not only keep them a lil cooler but wil also strengthen them.

nice,nice... bout to begin a 50 (aprx) plants grow room. nothing fancy a little amateur like. thinking of using dual spectrum lights, how much light will i need though??

there is nothing amature about 50 plants. unless your only goin to grow them to about a foot or two tall then it will be taking up ALOT of room

greenfirekilla420 · Feb 7, 2009

50 plants using cfls????? That just sounds like ALOT of Money you would be better off buying one BIG HID light than all those CFLS that don't put out enough light anyways.

hell yea dude...keep it up

How goes it mate?

toofast4u · Feb 9, 2009

every strain and every room is different so i think giver and see what happens i do agree thats alot of light for that space but better too much then not enough good luck keep us posted

What up, people

Out of twelve seedlings two look like mutants to me. Please let me know if they should be culled out sooner rather then later.

Plant # 11 has a huge 1st set of leaves but never grew a 2nd set. She kinda looks like cabbage to me. However, her roots look strong!!

These pics were taken a few days ago

JayDoe71 · Feb 10, 2009

Plant # 9 looks like a goner. She seemed to be doing OK, but it's obvious she's way behind on developement. She is the same age as the older, healthy looking seedlings in the next post.

She has only one thin root dipping into the nutes.

Opinions, please

JayDoe71 · Feb 10, 2009

...and here is the rest of the young garden. As you can see, the remaining ten seedlings are doing just fine. You may notice that some are older then others, I am aware of this.

Good strong roots - the ph is 5.7 and the ppm 50, I just wanted to give them a taste of nutes.

Any advice is appriciated!!

So I was able to squeeze 4X4' out of my flowering area. The light will be moved about 10" to the right from where it is now so it is dead-center in the middle of the 4X4 area. The door will remain open during daylight hours to provide proper airflow through the office.

I let the light and fans run for about 6 hours and the room never reached over 74 F, and I'm easily able to keep my hand 18" from the light with no uncomfortable heat.

So once again:

1000 Watt MH/HPS
4X4 area with 5' of height, but will not let vertical growth exceed 3.5'
should be able to maintain temps of under 76 F and be able to place the light as close as 18" from the canopy
3 X 18 gal Roughneck Bins holding two plants each
Deep Water Culture using commercial air pumps for plenty of bubbles!
will most likely utilize LST
area will be covered in mylar and/or black and white poly.

As per my sophisticated data keeping, the strains and quantities are:

6 X Thai X Skunk from 420Seeds
3 X Trainwreck bagseed from a local Colorado dispensory
2 X Afghan from 420Seeds
1 X Feminized Snow White from Nirvana

My prediction, I will end up with the following six flowering females:

3 X Thai X Skunk
1 X Trainwreck
1 X Afghan
1 X Feminized Snow White

My goal is 1lb every 3 months

Everything looks good, Jaydoe. Give those "mutants" a little more time to develop... I've had some like that before that came along nicely after some time.

Will you be doing a perpetual rotation or one batch at a time?

Thats awesome jay i have a strange feeling that those thai skunk are going to be monsters...Did you get your card in colorado...i just got mine and have been looking at getting a clone or two of something nice i do enjoy a good sweet tooth and from what ive seen it grows pretty well here.

Perpetual, I plan on keeping two mothers and clones in my 48X48X20 tent. After a clone reaches 12" or so I'll put it in the flowering room but give it 1000 Watt of MH on 18/6 for 2-4 weeks. I will most likely utilize LST during this veg time.

After the plants are strong and trained I will switch to 12/12
