Well was planning on Scrogging these babies but ..... well lets just say I couldn't do it at this time So, this is what I ended up doing 6 Cloned .... 5 weeks Veg (tok a while for roots to start) They were transplanted into 1 gallon pots and sunk into ONE large container with abo0t 5" of soil mix They have been in 12/12 for a week now and are starting to take off I have since trimmed some lower foliage to allow more light to the MANY branches stemming off Pics (there are 4 total) Side Shot of the pot in the Trough with abo0t a 1" layer of pure perlite at the bottom for VERY Good drainage
This whole unit is on a plywood base with wheels I might do a small amount of Training if I see it getting to Crowded Besides that I will just tie fan leaves away from nodes and let them go ...... I have abo0t 8 feet of hight for them Bare in mind this is only a 400w HPS Thoughts?
I had Mylar on the walls but I can't stand the noise it makes with the fan ....and the White walls seem to reflect better ? Light is abo0t 15" above plants with a Large Fan blowing accross the tops
Last one .... This is just a pic of the Exhaust fan ducting dissapearing thru the ceiling (basically I have a drop ceiling with a second layer of Styrofoam right over it Work very well Day temps are 80-85º Night time are 60-65º 50-60% humidity depending on the weather at the moment Updates to come Enjoy!!
ive never seen a setup like that, are you going to keep them as such? ill be interested to see how this works out
Yo man!! Honestly I got the inspiration from this (found it on the FAQ) http://www.overgrow.com/edge/showthread.php?threadid=19398 The watering principle is just SOO cool to me
HOLY SHIT! 3x6 and 40 plants? geezus!! i was impressed with that, i dont grasp all the concept, but it is coming to me in bits and pieces. im going to go back and look again.
Doing the Bucket in a Trough setup like this allows me to keep all six ...one gallon pots .... right next to each other and under the light If I was to goto 4-5gallon pots there is NO WAY I would be able to do six plants under a 400hps ....and get any yield So my logic is ....... keep them just like you see them and train them Scrog without the screen...I guess I have the munchies....bbiab
I will just keep replying to my own threads Here is the Top of the MOM plant .....I cut her yesturday
The rest of the plant (lower growth) is back under the light to finish I will get a pic of that later CLONES.... the clones grew a LOT over night I had to re-tie them again this morning
Made a Frame and strung it up with 50lb fishing line Don't know how much training I will do ....If anything it will be for support
so just so i get it right, u water the plants by watering the big container? that looks cool, i read the post on OG from the link u left and i'm really impressed, i hope yours do as good. cyaz
420..... I plan on buying the 1qt version bubblebags .... I can't wait to try it I should have nice trimmings from these six...I think it will be a worth while investment Yuri ..... I plan to water them thru the Pots like normal ...but I will be watering them a good amount More in Volume ....but MUCH less frequently IT will also flush out the deposits well ....each time I water These Girls are Growing like MAD right now ......like atleast an inch a day at the nodes Maybe I will start training them in to fill the screen Thanks
I Covered the soil in sand today to keep any flys/gnats out Yes, it is the Winter but I still have bugs flying around .....and they ALL seem to find the closet somehow
First off..... HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Need some advice in training these gals Do I start to train the MAIN node (cola) in a circular pattern in an attempt to spread the secondary nodes around ?? Obviously the 2 in the center are smaller and I have them tied at 90º to trigger the lower nodes to grow Faster ....hopefully to catch them up with the others a bit. But I don't know if that is going to work They are under 12/12 The other 4 are growing like weeds Sho0ts all over the place Main node like this?
That sounds like a good training plan. next time I'd recommend letting them fill in the screen about 2/3 to 3/4 before switching to 12/12. That will increase you're yeild a good bit. Remember, while you're training them in 12/12 you're losing bud height and therefore over all yield.
