--UPDATE :: WEEK TWO FLOWERING :: JANUARY 14, 2015--
Whats going on 420mag friends!!!!! Today is an extremely exciting day for me as this update brings many changes to my grow room and many updates on my little ladies!! So this was
DAY 10 of Flowering and the ladies are still stretching at full force! Pre-Flowers are shooting everywhere and 7 and 9 bladed leaves are constantly popping up above the Trellis. Speaking of the Trellis, the
Warlock and
Berry Garcia have covered over 85% of it and I am only waiting on 3 more spots to fill up. The rest of the shoots above the Trellis I am going to leave alone to start growing upwards.
So since the flip to 12/12 the ladies have been under my DIY C.F.L. Light Hood. I built it about 2 months back and it has been working beautifully. I posted its stats on the first page of my Journal but I'll post them here a second time.
-Built of wood, metal sheeting, wires, light sockets, common lamp fixture parts.
-Seven 23W 6500k CFL light bulbs.
-Two 23W 2700k CFL light bulbs.
-One 26W 2700k CFL light bulb.
-233 Watts.
-16,100 Lumens Output.
Also since then I have installed a
4" 190 C.F.M. Inline Duct Fan as exhaust... It draws air from inside the tent through a
4" Carbon Filter and vents it through
4" Ducting down to a
4" Exhaust Duct Outlet. I decided it was worth it to stretch the ducting all the way down the tent help keep it warm. I rearranged the
Warlock and
Berry Garcia in the tent so they are now side by side (and the Trellis is now positioned longways for better space management). I opened a 4" x 12" screen vent at the bottom of the tent and placed my box fan in front of it. It draws WAY more air in than I expected. Here are some pictures!
Things get a little on the cold side, obviously a
High Altitude Grow!! I'm not to worried as these are all Indica Doms and seem to be chugging along still!
Like I said though.. that was all
up until today... Which brings me to the first and MOST IMPORTANT change in my Grow Room....
MY L.E.D. HAS ARRIVED!!!!!
This past Saturday I ordered my
Mars-Hydro Mars II 700 Watt L.E.D. Grow Light and it came in the mail today. Like I said in earlier posts, excellent service, great shipping, and very well made product... Mars-Hydro definitely exceeded my expectations and I can promise I will be a returning customer. Here are some pictures of me unboxing it!
BEAUTIFUL! Isn't it? If you can't tell I am just about as happy as I possibly could be.... Anyways! Everything came packaged perfectly tight... nothing was broken and the light was spotless. Here are a few pictures of it hanging and on.
There isn't really anything new to update you all on about the ladies... I posted earlier this week what they were fed on Sunday for week 2 of Flowering. They are all doin' real good! Just tucking the ladies under the Trellis in the areas that aren't filled, and in the spots that are filled I am letting the shoots grow upwards now. The
Alien Dawg is still just having her eight or nine terminal shoots trained to produce the most quality flowers that she is capable of producing. Here are some pictures!
Well everyone... that's all I have to share for now. I hope you all enjoyed reading my update as much as I enjoyed sharing it! I could not be more excited about my set up. I believe (and correct me if I am wrong) that I am now growing in a professional climate and have the equipment to produce professional grade medical flowers. I cannot wait to see what this light is going to do for me... ALSO, this means I get to permanently dedicate my C.F.L. Light Hood to Vegging. I re-configured my previous Grow Closet and turned it into a permanent Veg space.
Thanks so much for stopping by everyone!!! & STAY TUNED!!!
So much more to come.
Sincerely,
MaxYields
You are going to love this light!!! My last harvest was from under 2 Mars II 400's and is by far the best I have ever grown and off my Black Jack I had a 21 gram nug dried.... It's posted up in my regular journal and on the Mars-Hydro thread... they tell me on 420 if you don't post a pic it didn't happen...
