how far away from harvest?

[Dopehead_680]

chemcom: thanks bro keep an eye out for the finale

Law: first, honestly, name sketched me out.
like I said when i feel they are finished could be 6 days could be a month i keep asking myself the same question. keep an eye out and youll know when i do.

[Dopehead_680]

So its been a week since i flushed the babies to help with nute burns, now should I water with a half does of nutes tonight or should I flush them once more, I've read mixed reviews so i think its a case by case basis, yall know what the plants look like so oppinions?

thanks

so that horrible plant has gone 2 weekds since last watering and has not soaked up a drop of water and a few buds are completely dead so im no genius but i assume it is gone well,... it had triches and they were ambering so waste not?


some Houdini shit

where'd it go?

not bad,.. considering this is the smallest and half the plant has been removed because it was completely dead

out to dry

PS:inspected roots thoroughly with microscope no mold or anything so its smokable prob gonna be shitty but w.e. the other three look great so thats good.

Don't feed unless they are more than 2 weeks from harvest. Feed only if you are sure the burn is not getting worse.

[Dopehead_680]

thank vtec Im pretty sure the burns fine i tore through the root system theres no build ups it actually looked like a really healthy root ball. I just watered everyone with r/o water.

Idk how long till the rest get harvested most tichs are clouded on all planted but only a small handful are amber and well, they have been like that for about a week now. :-/ worried but playing the waiting game none the less.

I've been using this stuff:
http://www.plantitearth.com/store/pr...id=377&catid=7

I stopped using it as a of 7/10 because the nute burning started on 3 n have not watered with it since however, I was thinking of maybe watering them again with a potion of this stuff.

2mls a L is there suggested dosing however I can not water nearly that much so I was going to add maybe 10 oz of water with approx 1.2 ml of thrive alive i don't think any of them will be harvested with in the next two weeks given the sudden halt in maturity it this advisable?

so the CFLs worked good? what watt and how many did u use? sorry i dont want to read through 11 pages to find it if your already answered lol. I just ordered a light kit, dual spectrum 65 or something from stealth hydroponics with one cool and 1 warm light. u think this will be enough for 2 plants? from vegging stage all the way to harvest?

thanks!

[Dopehead_680]

four 24W CFLS
(2) 6,500k
(2) 10,000K
a total of 96W and 6,700 lumens Good luck!

[SmknVTEC]

Oh that's right you are using the 10,000k lights. So you are basically using ther vegging spectrum to flower too? It can work. Obviously. You can probably give that Thrive alive shit. It is just so low on N P K that I don't think it would hurt. Just give whatever amount it says in the directions on the back of the bottle.

[Dopehead_680]

well yeah sort of, we ended up getting rid of the MH 10,000k till the next grow

however we had 4 of the cool white(1600 lumens) in for veg and then swapped two out for the higher lumem (1750) bulb it doesnt have a spectrum on the package so i prob shoulnd't have said "10,000k". i assume they are "full spectrum" bulbs much like 10,000k bulbs.

and thanks for the thrive alive tip bro

pictures to follow as soon as I can get outta here(work) and get to the space.

[vinthelad]

yea i ordered the dual spectrum 65 thing and was just wondering. it puts out 6800 lumens so should be enough for 1-2 plants right?

heres a link if ur interested

i couldnt find any nice lamp holding things like those at stores so just ordered these and look perfect for my setup (in the attic corner), just drill a cuple hooks to the wooden beams and perfect

ill make a journal once i get the lights and start growing with my setup.
hydroponics with these lights in the attic. going to use same lights for both veg and flowering. however once the vegging phase produces a nice femaile plant, i will take her to my other attic and put her under a flurocent 40 something incher and just let her grow there in vegging state and keep cloning throughout the year with that veg plant under fluros being mother. then stick those clones in the flowering setup. first time growing anything so should be interesting...hopefully u guys can help me out on the way. but this thread helped me a lot to get started. thanks man

enjoy ur bud

**edit
also how many plants total did u grow with ur 6700 lumens? (again dont feel like reading through 11 pages.)
so sorry if ur sick off ppl repeating questions

those lights i ordered were 6800 lumens and just wondering how many i CAN grow. but ill probly just stick with 1 or 2 until i start running out.

[Dopehead_680]

Eh, i'd much prefer the horizontal laying fixtures. CFLs are not designed like spot lights, youre gonna lose a lot of PAR through refraction but i mean it should still be good. just an idea but take the reflectors off and make a hood that hold the bulbs like side ways better light output.

Keep up the great work bro.
Bummer about that first plant, but shiet happens.
Best of luck on the upcoming harvests.

Hi I have been planning on starting a fridge grow in my room at my frat. Your journal has been an incredibly informative source (I wrote like a page of shit down that I need to go buy at Home Depot). My fridge died on me a couple months back, its 33'' high 19'' wide and 22'' deep.

I remember reading somewhere in this thread the numbers for your fridge, but I'm super baked so I cant remember. If you could hit me up with the size of your fridge, and let me know if you think a LST style grow would work in an environment this size, and how many plants you think I could grow?

Your plants look fucking fantastic, but its hard for me to judge their exact size without knowing the size of your fridge.

Rough luck on that plant no.3 but the other ones look like a nugtastic jungle, keep it up bro.

[edit: Also how did you get the white shelving off the door of the fridge? I've been chopping and prying the heck out of it but its filled/glued to the frame with insulation, help me out]

[Dopehead_680]

Ragamufin: my fridge is 17"X17"X30" I have four plants and yes they are all LST and I would do that or ScrOG


So four has reached maturity and between 25-50% of hairs are orange and trichs look amazing all are white and large portion are ambered sooooo, bout 5 gs of water over an hour and a half to flush it check back in a couple days for the harvest pics

P.S. that shitty plant went from 34.6 to 8 grams after drying, honestly its the most disgusting shit ive ever seen,.... not even gonna bother smoking it maybe i can make some brownies or something.
