Ok sooo here's a quick update since my girlfriend is coming over and doesn't let me browse the Growery when she is present...

I have lost track of how old they are cuz I don't feel like going back to check, i'll edit the post when I get the time/motivation.

The "whorled phyllotaxy" plant I think it's called is still growing 3 branches per node and it's so short and squat I don't know how any light gets through the canopy, if at all.  I also transplanted her? after taking pictures into a 1 gallon, should be good in that until harvest.



My lone female is probably near 26 days or so, I'll re-check and edit later.

     

My LST on this lady is paying off.  She is a stretchy strain for some reason and tying down really saved space and caused significant branching to occur.  I only have a target of 1oz on this plant and I think if I flower soon I can achieve this.  That should be enough smoke to last  until I get get some others closer to harvest. It has at least 10 nice tops and if I get 1/8 per top I'll already be over an Oz.

Shit dude that shit looks good are you going to just flower under that MH bulb or are you going to put them outside? And what are you going to do with the one on the deck? are you going to collect its pollen and pollenate one of the fems with it? looks like it was a pretty fast grower.:thumbup: I didnt know what I was missing. haha.

You know what those are great questions because I'm trying to figure out the exact same things.  I made brownies from him and collected a bunch of pollen. I got very baked from him a few times.
Do you guys think that light plus 70w of CFL's would be enough to flower that little lady indoors?

Otherwise I'll just bring her outside on sunny days, but if I can flower her indoors I'll do a Scrog since I have all of the materials to do so...


WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK???

It's a HydroFarm Sunburst 175 with a Sylvania 4200K bulb that is brand new, Puts out 14,400 Lumens.  It's really a nice setup at least for me!  Lots o' light from it and not too much heat!

:lol:  Shhh don't let my GF see that she will steal it from me and take the cat, she is freakin' obsessed with the damn creatures... Sorry my man I'm allergic to cats... I would probably like them a lot if I didn't react.

Dr. S! You think that is a decent amount of light, considering I keep it 3" from my canopy...?

Haha we seem to have many things in common!  Thats pretty sweet, I promise once I get a job i'm comin' down there with my girl and I wanna eat some shrooms but I can't find em' right now.  I would def. come down and chill for a day or two, smoke out hella, maybe trip and I'll unleash everything I know and we could just talk and learn for hours... So motivate me to get a job and i'll make that happen.

well if your putting that one little lady under it, then it will be fine but id raise it just a little bit and make sure you have good ventilation .........but you said you had "70w of CFL's" too....you can put those up also because "the more light the better"! especially for flowering............ just keep the heat down.....

Yes I finally got some motivation!!!

I woke up early this morning and thought "Hey! Why not re-build my grow area, or better yet create a grow area!"

I got to work on the miter saw right away, I made it 30" Tall, and 20" X 20" Wide and Deep.  I know it's not a lot of space but it's all I need to flower 2-3 plants at a time.  I don't have a way to hang my light really, I had it on ropes on a hockey stick bridged across two larger objects (chair, fishhouse) and that was too jimmy rigged for me. 

I made the box 20 inches because the light hood is 20 inches and it rests on top perfectly and will not budge. It also does not block any light distribution in the process.  I put an elevated floor in, 4 " off the ground but made it so I can take it out IF I need additional height. I figure off the ground is better for moisture problems.

I sawzalled a nice section out on the support underneath the front of the hood so my fan can still blow across the canopy and bulb keeping everything nice and cool (+/- 75f) so I can keep them close during flowering for tighter buds.

One of the main reasons I built this is if I decide to ScrOG this lady when I flip the lights it will be very easy because I now have a frame to work with and just need to staple up my chickenwire 6-7 Inches below the light.  Does that sound about right?

First and 2nd pics are of my last remaining male. 

The pics of the new box are fairly self explanatory!  I don't think I want to enclose it because I don't really need to for security reasons as this is a storage room that no one goes into.  It also keeps the heat only a few degrees about room temp and that has worked great so far.

Last few are of our Clematis almost fully in bloom!

Looking good inverted. Glad to see you getting all ambitious. I would wrap the back and sides with mylar or black/white poly for light reflection, so you make the most out of your light. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

My babies are getting a slow start right now. I dropped one while moving it, fell out of the pot and soil scattered eveywhere. Picked it back up and replanted it. Seems to be doing fine and still growing.

I have not been able to give them the light they need due to electric prices here and the fact i have close neighbors. Wanted to get them boosted up before taking them to the field. I have the whole yard to myself for the next 2 weeks so plan on giving them as much sun as possible for them 2 weeks then out to the field.

I will start a grow log at that point. Right now though they are just not worthy. I have 3 purple urkle and 3 bagseed plants which are probly a good strain too. And then i have some unknown growing in my flower garden for a total of seven.

Thanks man I appreciate that.  I'll try to get an emergency blanket and wrap it around the sides and back at least, I want one whole side open for complete ventilation though.
