Attached are some pics after giving the three of them 1/3 gal of 6.6 water that had 2 teaspoon fox farm grow big liquid added and that's it. They all popped out of the soil mix on 5/8/2014. Currently they are under 4 100 watt CFL's 22 hours on 2 off and they will be receiving double this light in about a week. The lights they are under say 3500k and they will be getting 6500 in the other bunch. This is a budgeted grow but will be expanded upon once its possible. I'd really love any advice or commentary as this is more for everyone else than I.. I love being able to do a search and find what I'm looking for and the only way to improve search is by adding real content!
Those are some healthy looking babies... I hope mine look that good in a couple weeks! They should love that 6500K light... I know mine like the 6500K much better than the 3500K early on. Keep up the good work
Yeah I was thinking the combination of the two light colors would help give them what they want at all times and I'm sure they could take way more lumens. They only have a little over 6000 lumens now... ;(. But soon they'll have 12000 then around 19000 after the last batch of lights is added. Just gave them 1/3 gallon water with 2 tsps a gallon strength fox farm grow big on Thursday and will be waiting til Monday to feed again. Think I should go all the way to 4 tsps?? I'll post pics later today
Johnny and Sgt Jones post some pics yo! Here's what they look like after I topped em 2 nights ago and just bent some leaves for light penetration reasons. I've also been misting for foliar feed to reduce the stress.
Here is my journal link... http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1301803-my-first-grow-500w-cfl-future-closet-scrog-cycle.html I am just getting started, just planted last Saturday and they look like this now...
Oh cool yeah this stuff should be very similar to og kush and the diesol family as well. A dub is sour dubble X f1 feminized alien og as far as I know but I've seen a couple different ideas on the genetics.
BTW I did give them 4 teaspoons per gallon fox farm grow big last night. I can see the difference in color for sure. They are brighter with no yellowing. I'll probly give them 1 or 2 tbsp molasses in the next watering with no nutes. Sort of like alternating notes with molasses but eventually this will change. I've stopped foliar feeding now that they are tied and I'm not beating them up all the time adding stress.
I will be doubling the lights from 4 x 26 watt 3500k bulbs to 8 (adding 4 x 26 watt 6500k) and in 2 weeks adding 2 more (2 x 105 watt 400 watt equivalent 6500k). That'll be a total of a little over 400 actual watts (1600 watt equivalent) and over 20k lumens. Anyone care to guess what the yield could be? 4 plants in a 4x3x6 area. Very well ventilated. LST, topped and will be scrogging.
If you fill your screen and use all your space you will get lbs that's over a square meter... At least a lb but with scrogging you can multiply your yields
Awesome that's what I was going for. This thing has like 10 small tops not counting the main top where its splitting.
Okay so today marks the 21st day or three weeks! Going to add more lights tomorrow (4 x 26 watt cfl 6500k, about 6k lumens). Hopefully that will help speed things up a bit.. Maybe cut a week or so off the veg time. The faster I can see my first harvest the better as I'm about as impatient as you can be. I know in order to do this right I can't rush things though.. So I wait!
