Well, I am at it again. I just got my clones transplanted into 3 gallon grow bags. I was using 5 gal. buckets, but this way I can just get rid of everything at once..bag & all. Plus, I was getting tired of cleaning out & sterilizing buckets. Anyway, I got 37 plants total...around 2 1/2 weeks into veg. I am growing my Soma A+ as usual, but also added 7 Williams Wonder Weed plants...nothing like some old skool Willy's to get the blood pumping. Plus the Soma is 100% Indica, & I need some thing with just a pinch of Sativa so I don't get couch lock all the time. I am using GH's Flora Nova's grow & bloom along with some Superthrive, Hygrozyme, Kool Bloom, & a few other additives. The veg pics are a bit bland, but I will switch to flowering in a week or two. Here is what they look like so far. I had a N deficiency cause' I was working 50 hrs.+ & didn't give them as much TLC as they needed. They came back though. Ph is 5.2-5.5 & nutes are at 1750 PPM.
Thanks... I have a 7x7x8 grow room, & 2x1000 watt MH/HPS switchable ballasts, although I am toying with the idea of adding a third 1000 watt HPS for flowering.
That is a nice amount of space I am planning to build a 4x5x6 and I wasnt sure what size`HPS to use. From everything I am hearing 1000w is the best all around. Are you hitting for 2 elbies? I'll be watching this one..
Yeah...my last grow I got just about an oz. or two over 2 lbs. I am sure I could get a bit more with a higher yielding strain, but the Soma A+ I grow is some of the best herb I have honestly seen & smoked. When it comes to lighting, there really is no such thing as "too much", provided heat isn't a concern. I have to use a 512 CFM fan for my air-cooled lights so that my temps don't soar into the nineties. A 1000 watt light in your 4x5x6 row room would make for some big dense buds. Just get an air cooled & switchable light, & it will work excellent.
Damn Cannabis, always makin my mouth drool.. See really thats all I need is a huge walk in closet and I would be gravy.
Hey thanks for stopin my thread.. I was checking out the cool tube reflectors..it seems like it would work real well.
It's actually a free standing enclosure I built in a spare bedroom in my basement. It is air & light tight though.
You said your last run you pulled off a lil over 2 pounds. How many plants did you grow and what strain was it? Where you using the same amount of lighting??
What's up Stoners?? I took some new pics...nothing fancy, just some updated veg pics. This is 2260 PPM of N: This is what your plants look like after being watered with 2260 PPM of N......any questions? I don't know what is up with this Soma A+ strain. It can tolerate the highest amounts of N & not get over fertilized. The highest recommended dose on the Flora Nova label is 1750 PPM of N, & I went over by 500 PPM. It just soaks it up & literally grows overnight. Anyway...I am gonna switch to flowering this Sunday. I don't want the buds to break any of the branches.
Soma is an Rastafarian American who lives in Amsterdam, & started producing seeds for sale in relatively small quantities. He produces some of the finest herb around. Here is some more info about him & his seeds. http://www.somaseeds.nl/welcome.html He has all kinds of strains to choose from. I got my Soma A+ (also known as "Rock Bud, because of it's extreme density), seeds from seedboutique about 6 yrs. ago in feminized form. They were very pricey at $425.00 for ten seeds, but they are much cheaper now. His strains are notably for organic soil grows, but will work with any medium. Here is the link to the seeds I got: They are no longer available in feminized form for some reason. https://www.seedboutique.com/store/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=20&products_id=290
