Thanks Cronichemphog, glad you stopped by.

Medi's looking lovely Shadow I'm sure she'll thank you for the extra lights though

Thanks SoilGirl, I'll be thanking her if the UV B does it's job. I'm going to run them for 21/2 hours a day and see if I can't get her frosty.

Looks great

What's up Dusty? I appreciate your support.

Please make sure you wear appropriate eye and skin protection while working in your grow area with the Ultra Violet lights.

 

[Chinnubie]

You know something King I was wondering about that with UVB lights, I guess you answered it for me without asking. 420Mag's awesome!!

Shadow, where did you get the UV-B lights?

Thanks for the heads up KJC, I just got them in and going. 2 1/2 hours a day 6pm to 8:30pm. 2 bulbs 26w. Thanks for hanging out with me, I appreciate you coming by. I'll be by to see your dank nugs.

Hey MaggiesFarm, I got those online at Am_z_n. You might be able to find them at a local pet store, I couldn't so got them online. 26w for$23USD ea. I got them in and hot. I'm only running them for 2 1/2 hrs each day.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. What's happening? I hope all is well in your world. Ok, I started on wrapping the room in Panda poly. It's going to take longer than I'd like due to scheduling. I don't want to work on it while the flower tent is dark, I don't want to risk a light leak and the lights come on at 6pm. That would work but then my wife is already in bed so she can get up at 1am for work and I don't want to wake her making noise. That leaves me the weekend nights. I'll have it done this weekend though. I still have a few photos to share on what I did get put up. Medi is doing good, making more pistils everyday. I put 2- UVB bulbs on her tonight when the lights came on. They are 26w ea. and I'll run them for 2 1/2 hours each night. I'm hoping to encourage her to get frosty. Friday after lights come on in flower, I'm going to defoliate and remove some minor branches. It will be day 24 of flower and stretch should be done. That's when I'll take 2 clones and see how that experiment goes. I'll be trans planting the biggest from the veg box into 3 gallon pots tomorrow with a batch of brand new soil. I hope that takes care of some of the deficiency issues I've had. That means I'll be putting the 2nd veg box into full operation. I have the light fixture put together and waiting. Still waiting on new seeds I ordered. No hurry, I've got plenty in the pipeline right now and wouldn't use them yet anyway. I did pick up a harvest party favor, Brothers With Glass had a 710 sale for 15% off everything online. I picked up a Black Market Glass Natural Perc - Large. I don't have any stash to put in a photo so I can't post it here but I will be posting a photo in the appropriate forum for anyone that would like to check it out. They also sent me a 10% off coupon for my next purchase. They've got some cool stuff at reasonable prices. Here's the update photos.

plants look happy

 

[Chinnubie]

3 weeks to pistils right? I think it was Radogast that said, pistils in three weeks, everytime. Is that right? She looks just great, you've done a fantastic job. Your gonna have flowers coming out your ears.

Hey 60cal, glad to have you along, I'll be waiting for you to catch up.

Sound's like you are in the final stretch. Outstanding job. Keep it green

 

[shadowman]

Hey everyone, just a quick update. I transplanted Medi2 & Medi3 into 3 gallon pots and used fresh new soil from Ideal 420 Soil, so this will be the true test of just add water to their soil system. I watered 8cups distilled water and 1cup Rhizostym growth booster they also sell as their only additive. I had to start up the second veg box, I put 1-3gal and 2- 1gal pots in ea. veg box. I added a crossbar in the flower tent to mount one of the UVB lights on. I also put a small tub of Damp Rid in the flower tent to drop the humidity to 40% and under. All plants are doing well.

Have a great night and I'll see y'all tomorrow.
