I haven't seen a journal on this yet so I hope to do it proud! I am doing a small batch of: Barney's Farm Red Diesel, description below:

powerful and trippy.

Nice choice, I like when people grow the not so common strains, gives us a chance to see all the other good stuff floating around out there.. Colorado boys showing their stuff(no pun intended) Good stuff man...Looking forward to the final product (long ways off) keep on the good work 4Twenty...

love the diesel have some now indoor and outdoor its a nice tastey strain its originally an equitorial strain isnt it? (from near the equator)

 

[shaggy_420]

is this grow inside or outside
i cant tell by the background

 

[4twenty4all]

Thanks for the nice feedback so far. I'm very interested to taste them

Hey Shaggy.. Inside: Light: 400W Agrosun MH 40K Lumens

 

[StonerGrower]

You should move your light closer to your plants to avoid strechting.

 

[4twenty4all]

Hey Stoner.. Currently they are under a 7 inch humidity dome next to the 400w with 4 cfls above the dome. I was planning on waiting another week before taking the dome off and putting directly under the MH. Do you think I should remove the dome now? Typically I wait until they have 3rd set of leaves. Should I use a smaller dome? I do have a 2 inch dome too, I just haven't used it.

Also, the pics may be deceiving as the macros is on and in the above shot they are just under 2 inches if I remember correctly. Now they are about 3 inches or slightly above.

get a fan blastin' on those babes or somethin they looko pretty stretched

 

[StonerGrower]

Ide go with the smaller dome and closer lights.

 

[4twenty4all]

Thanks Stoner! I'll use the smaller dome in the future to keep them from stretching in their first 1 - 2 weeks of life.

 

[4twenty4all]

Hey Stoner.. I took your advice and got the lights closer to the seedlings. I put them on a shelf next to the 400w mh light and put 6 23wCFLs above them for extra light.

 

[4twenty4all]

I guess a picture would be nice huh?

 

[StonerGrower]

Lookin good...Lookin good.

 

[BubbaKush]

[StonyGeoff]

Looks good man!

 

[shaggy_420]

lookin good

Nice setup

Just a suggestion, when you transplant them, bury them a bit deeper so there not so lanky thats what i have done.

Amazing it only seems like yesterday i was looking at my seedlings, how quick they grow up!

 

[4twenty4all]

Thanks for the tips guys. I have placed the lights a lot closer since Stoner pointed out that they were stretching to much. Well..... Thanks Stoner, the nodes are tightening up nicely and they are looking better.

 

[StonerGrower]

I dont know if its the angle of the pictures or what....But they always seem to look like their strecthing. Oh well...might want to get a fan on those stems to stregnthen em up a bit.

 

[Ms.Fox]

^^ Yes! Putting a fan on em makes a load of difference. Having some air blowing them around makes them incredibly more strong and (I believe) healthier. I grew some once with no fan or outside breeze and all they did was fall over from being too weak.
