Looking good!
Thanks EP. Excited to try something different here with the mainliners.


Looking wicked Stoney! Sorry you didnt get what you wanted out of your grow but chin up bro, you got nearly 6oz of top quality smoke out of 3 plants under 250w! Thats fuckin unreal in my books, top job mate :D
Cheers to that easty! No sour grapes here, I am more than happy and a bit surprised at my overall totals. Couldn't have drawn up a better or more trouble free grow. Puff, Puff, Pass --> Blackjack bongs bongsmilie


Stone ya gonna start a new journal for this grow? They look great already...
Hey who. I was going to continue on with this journal but I guess I don't really know. My 1st journal consisted of my first 3 hempy grows but maybe since this is my first stab at mainlining I should start a new one. IDK I guess I'll decide once the training is closer to starting. Ill post a link here if I do tho.


That is definitely the takeaway here! Great grow man.
For sure yankee! Been great sharing the grow with everyone. Do you prefer the multiple journals? I have been trying to follow all your guy's great journals and it can eat up a good chunk. Seems easier to continue on but the fresh journal might be nice.


Maybe I picked up the wrong box from your place, bro.. :shock:
LMAO! That is one lonely looking bud bro! Don't pick those poor girls clean before they are ready. :shock: Lol, let me know how the sample smokes.

Wishing I could share a spliff of Blueberry with a fellow BB enthusiast!

Did a little research after reading flowas journal. This talks about how a few uv flouros can increase potency. Might have to try this. Thought id share.

Love the link SS! I have been thinking about UVB since I first read flowa's thread. Unfortunately I am like a cat with a laser pointer, easily distracted, and forgot all about it.:sleep: Well I am going to pick some of these up this weekend. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3571148&f=PAD%2FpsNotAvailInUS%2FNo

Love the sacrifice and determination bro! I have the jars cracked right now to breathe, and the bluecheese is stinking up the place. These 3 should be in great shape for SS Fest! Can't wait.

Picked up 2 of these today at pet supplies plus and got 2 clamp on shades to hold em. Think it'd hurt to put em in my tent mid flower? Gonna start off running them 4-5 hours a day.

I would try 'em out right now, shouldn't hurt and very curious to see if you get more resin. Wouldn't more resin mean more weight to final product too? Could be a nice add to any grow :-)

Id have to re read the article, but if I remember correctly they said you could lose a little weight as the plant focuses its energy on making the chemical to be able to accept the uv light. The chemical made adds more resin resulting in more potency. Sounds like it could be a trade off. I only grow for me and 1 patient though so its a trade off I'm willing to accept. Im putting them in tonight when I get home. I'll keep you guys informed if I notice anything. I haven't had a chance to read them yet but ive seen a few journals on RIU talking about UV-B lighting and after skimming through I saw 1 guy say he'd never run without them. Supposed to be beneficial in veg and flower.

edit- here's the first one I found. Havent read it entirely yet but sounds promising!

Keep us posted, sounds like a great idea to me. Does the UVB bulbs put off more heat than a regular CFL? Good to know for micro growers on here.

I've never run CFL'S so I can't answer. I'll keep an eye on temps and let you know if it effects the room. After putting them in I realized I could use 4 bulbs. One on each corner. I'll wait till I get the ac in though as temps are climbing, hope the bulbs aren't to hot. Getting 2 acs from the father in law this weekend. If he only knew! Lol

this blackberry is already great. Yours should be killer Stone! Lol. Puff puff pass ----> bongsmilie

Hey guys. Steelie I read a bunch of stuff from the link and sounds like you are going about it right. From what I understand 5hrs of uvb during peak light time is the ideal. Seems any more than that is past the point of diminishing returns and could be negatively detrimental. I usually can't run my cfl's in the summer, but it has been awesomely pleasant temperature wise this month compared to last year. I am heading out to petsmart and grabbing a couple uvb lights today and hope that temps will allow me to run them in flower.

KC, been busy too mate! Damn 2nd shift has my inner clock all f'ed up, find myself wide awake at all the wrong times. I am hoping in the next 5-10 days to begin training these girls in earnest. I working on another grow project to run along side the mainliners, I'll update that project as it unfolds.

Peace guys

What would be considered peak time?
I run an 11/13 cycle instead of 12/12 so for me it would be---Lights come on with no uvb for 3 hrs, then uvb on for 5 hrs, and off again for the last 3 hrs. I also read some guy had them come on for 20 minutes out of every hour, but that seems like a lot of work, or plenty of chances for a timer to fail. I would go with the block in the middle of light on time.
