Thanks Doc! In the flower room, I have 3 600 watt HPS lumatec switchable dimmable ballasts with parabolic open reflectors. I went with the eye Hort bulbs, and that brand is the only one I have tried. I usually let the main colas grow way up into the top of the reflector. 600's let me get the light pretty damn close to the plant. I am probably going to add another 600 or 1000 HPS in there at some point to rotate 15 plants perpetually.

For veg I have 2 sun blaze 8 bulb T5 HO fixtures in the closet. The new veg tent has a large solar flare 8 bulb VHO fixture. It pulls a lot of watts but the veg plants came out extremely well.

Very nice! More light is often better....not always. In a smaller foot print those 600's can produce! Your plants look lovely.
 
DUDE!!!! That "small" Laughing buddah isn't all that small, it looks fantastic (so does everything else). I would give them water 2x in between the transplant and energy personally. Give each of them a little time to do some work before switching. Otherwise very stellar grow!!!
 
Pure awesomesauce, steppenwolf! :adore:
 
Graytail, didnt find an active journal on you so ill POST here: Thanxx for the reps

Time for a few pics during lights out.

I sprayed Doc's new PM/Insect spray in the new kits. Man that stuff smells like a lot of fish. All the leaves are extremely shiny today. That spray seems bad ass. I am now following the updated directions for the kit and doing feed, water, water, feed on the new plants in flower.

On the laughing Buddahs and Tangerine I am doing feed, water, feed also alternating Transplant and Energy. I am feeding a little more often due to the yellowing leaves. Plants look crazy, I am real happy.
Small Laughing Buddah. Tangerine in back.

Thanks tavosvo! I appreciate it man. Things are real busy for me around here. Just got back into town after a few day trip. I will be doing a big update soon. Things are out of control here. I am currently growin the tallest plants I have grown. The tangerine clones are pushing 4 feet tall and still stretching. The plants finishing up look crazy and I need to plan to harvest soon. I'm going to add a 1000 watt light as well. I will put a bunch of pics up soon
 
Well, its been way too long since I put some pics up, lol. I just got back from a trip to san fransisco. Pretty fun place and it was great to get a way for a bit.

I came back to all 3 Critical Kush clones showing signs of PM. Pretty cool right? So, I defoliated a bunch (not best practice). I hit em with the PM spray Doc gave me, and I am planning on turning them over quick if I have too. They look insane. All have 3-8 huge tops and are 3 feet tall on average.

Check out the stalk on these! Huge and thick. They loved the topping.

The Tangerine Dream clones (I have 3 of them flowering now that were clones of the Large Tangerine still flowering) look insane. All of them are about 3.5 ft to 4 ft tall. Super healthy and no PM anywhere. The parent plant never got PM either. I am going to keep this cut going a while I think.

I am going to harvest both laughing buddahs and the large tangerine tomorrow night. The LB's are showing more and more banannas. I keep cutting them off, but I think she is telling me it is her time.

The Great White Shark is showing a lot of promise. Tall, super healthy, shiny leaves, great structure, and no PM!!! I took a couple clones of her and they are veging now.

Ill snap a couple pics of the veg closet later. I have a couple large topped Tikals ready to flower and 3 Liberty Hazes that look OK ready to flower. They will probably go in tomorrow, and they all got the PM/insect spray tonight to prepare them for the flower room.

I am pretty damn happy with things, even considering the PM. That Critical Kush may just be really susceptable to it, I dont know. either way, the three in flower now are the last 3 I will grow... Hope you guys like the pics.
 
Those are among the best looking plants on :420: right now!

Superb! +reps
 
Thanks for the support Curso and Jeff! Yeah, Curso is pretty much the man when it comes to growing. Check out his journal if you get the chance. Lots of good stuff in there. I keep trying to crank out buds that look like his lol.

I chopped the small lb and the tangerine last night. Man! The laughing buddah was physically heavy lol. Extremely dense and it should yield a bit. Pretty crazy. I took some pics and I think you guys will like them.
