Need some experienced help, grow room,and seeding

  1. so here is my original setup then my new modifications and on to best time to pollinate.
    Tent: 8 ft. Long 8 ft. Tall 4 ft wide
    Fans: 1 430cfm +filter extraction, 2 6 in duct booster fresh air in. 1 20 in. Circulating the tent.
    Lights: 1 1000w hps/mh, 16 t5 2ft.
    I vegged 8 strains untill they had 3-6 nodes under the t5's and flowered under the 1000w hps, got a little over a pound due to my short veg time.. I'm happy with the first ever real grow. Disappointed I was forced to flower so soon.
    Here is my strains and ideas for my current grow:
    1. Ghost train haze#1
    2. Blue dream haze
    3. Diesel dipped cookies
    4. grapefruit diesel
    5. White jack
    6. Jamacian grape
    7. Pineapple chunk
    8. Chocolope Kush
    9. Viper city og
    10. BlackBerry og
    11. Super lemon haze
    12. Critical super silver haze
    I also have a handful of autos I threw into the mix for fun. All under an 8x4 scrog net.
    So same tent same fans, now I bought another light hood and a ballast splitter so I can turn my dimmable digital 1000w ballast from powering one light to powering (2) 600 watt hid's I think I will get better yeild doing it this way by getting even coverage. I also have being delivered a 1,000w full spectrum led.oh yeah And i still have all those damn t5's..so without the need to add more $ too the bills I think my splitting of the flower room lights are a great idea. Now I can still use my existing t5's and veg/clone in a large closet with only about 250watts or I can plug in the 1000w led and veg/clone. If I do the led I will be taking out the purpose of cloning and vegging every few months for a flowering cycle separately because I purchased some " lady pollen" to create femanize seeds so that will take some time in between perpetual grow mode.. I plan to veg for at least 2 months I want my girls to be a good 15-24 inches tall meeting my net then flip and watch them fill every hole in my net for a canopy of large buds and explosive lower growth.my whole thing was getting better coverage without adding money to the electric bill so I think for yeild, coverage this would be my best bet.what's your opinion?


     
  2. Sounds like a plan. My only caution would be to make sure you don't overcrowd your tent when you go to flower. You've got a lot of strains listed above and then you said you tossed in a few autos for fun. You can only flower off so many plants at a time in a tent that size and give each plant the optimum amount of light it needs. Shading out a bunch of you plants because of over crowding will only lessen the overall yield. I would use the hps and LED for flowering since the combination of both should make for some killer dense buds. The T5s are great for veg, so let them handle that end of things. We generally veg our plants for at least 2 months before they go in for flower...that's 2 months after a I get the up and in 1 gallon containers. They'll go 8 weeks from there before we flip. The bigger they are before they flower, the more you should harvest in the end. Good luck! TWW

    What is lady pollen and where do you purchase it? I've made feminised seeds w/ colodial silver. Is it a brand name?

  4. it is either the c. Silver solution or that gibberellic solution. Of course tiresias ( top name brand) and lady pollen ( same quality as tiresias just cheaper. Depending on where you get it. There is also a no name brand just called mineral spray... All of which I advise buy on amazon or eBay and search through to get the best price....I do have the no name mineral spray but since tiresias and lady pollen hold the best reputation I bought lady pollen...I have not used them yet do to my patients needing meds faster than I can experiment and seed but this cultivation I made time space and room...not sure if I covers this but once you see pollen stick a clear bag around the branch tape off at base so to not affect other plants...also make sure the female you seed or the same plant is at least 3-4. Weeks into flowering . use a qtip or paint brush to administer your pollen or dust the branch over your plant do it at least 2 times 2nd time being a few days from the first
     
  5. thanks tww. So far the strains I mentioned are only week 2 of veg and yeah I deff want some big girls in the end so I will be vegging as you said, my autos are actually on their last couple weeks so for space I should be looking good when the autos are out. And I'm hoping my lst and net training I will fill the whole area by letting not grow verticle but keep them parallel with the net and see some amazing explosive bud growth.and with leaves and branches not in the way I'm hoping for some great return.
     
  6. I was just wondering my breeder friend makes his own colodial silver so I just go rob him for some

  8. lol. Cool. I've read and seen how to make it..lol they sell that on eBay too....with the silver spray do you get good quality females obviously it works and works well but we've all heard about a good average being Hermie seeds with any femanized spray
     
  9. Colodial silver is how most feminized seeds are made. Most of the fem seeds you get from seed banks will be made that way. Its been around for quite awhile. I've grown tons of feminized seeds w/o issue. My breeder friend has grown and sold unreal #s. I've never heard of a good average being hermie. Any plant CAN Hermie rather it comes from a feminized seed or not. Making feminized seeds may slightly raise that but your sprays won't be any different. They're causing stress to the plant just the same as colodial silver The only Hermie I've ever had was 1 I did on purpose years back. Plants can take more abuse then most think. I'm a firm believer hermies come from either more then 1 event or an event that's drug on too long. That's the growers fault. I thoroughly abuse my plants that come from feminized seeds.
