Re: JimmyCrickets 1st Indoor Grow - Chemdog D & White Rhino x Blackberry
Hey Jimmy,
Well you call it a problem every few days tying down those tops - I call it a BONUS
Them flowering gals should bulk up some more IMO - what the ruff chop date?? ( flowering time )
I hope you get soome solid chunk like that plant my mate had thats similar to yours, it should gain bit in last few weeks.. HEY DONPAUL - Drop by my journals buddy!!!!!
I start off from seed,germed in paper towel under a cfl, then once it taps, put it 1cm into the soil - cover and lightly water. Keep moist for a day or 3 and you should have the seedling above ground! I usually go with 2 or so 6500k CFL's starting them for their first week or so until it has about 5 pairs of leaves, then I begin LST and as it gains I usually put it under my 400w MH.
And if you recall I only do a single plant grow, aiming for above 1pound dry come harvest time. I have a 400w HPS also, But I only use the 1 light for the 1 plant, I do move my light left/right/up/down as needed sort of mimicking the sun, I do this as my plants are spread out during the initial LST and its wider at early stages, I keep my light around 15 -20 cm above the plant pending on the plants growth or where lights positioned. So Ill stay with the 400w MH until Im ready to flower and then Ill go with the 400w HPS for flowering, I am contemplating a DUAL-SPEC globe for Flower, But a 600w one, I have a 600w HPS too - But this I only use if the plant is about 5ft tall to give further penetration into the inner bud shoots, its a SON-T Gro globe which is not a bad globe, BUT- I am very intrigued to see if having a good 600w DUAL SPEC globe will give better results bud size wise. As Ive been reasoning with this idea for a while about the sun having multiple spectrums, So to me, having the mix of both spectrums going made sense?? The blue/white for helping Veg growth and Amber/yellow for Bud building, I AM NOT SURE IF THATS HOW IT WOULD WORK, BUT YOU D THINK YOU D STILL WANT SOME VEG GROWTH TOO DURING FLOWER?
Someone with some experience with using a dual may chip in their 2cents worth hopefully, as Id like to know if anyone gotten some good results using them.
ALSO - SORRY FOR THE HI-JACK JIMMY
I hope I havent rambled you all to death.. lol.. Anyway jimmy's gunna have some HUUGE Bud-Zilla's soon, and he gunna be one baked cookie -_-
Great job mate and am loving your battle with the buds - Its an EPIC fight, even if the plant wins, you win in the end come harvest
Have a good one - Smokemup
You may well have to put some tethers on her top branches and pull them down, well across slightly if your able? I think it would take to it well, dont go too hard but maybe have a look at which branches are the tallest and you may only need to slightly bend them and the others can just grow as usual and wont be shadowed by the taller ones as much? If you understand my dribble..:/...
