@ Mo,

Hey bud your early setup was very upgraded compared to my first.

This was hand made in my shop, 24 gauge steel, 10 cfl of lighting. I still use it for clones along with a 4 bulb 24" T5 setup.20140905_175223.jpg20140905_175241.jpg clone box.jpg

@gr865 - nice metal work! Oh what I could do with the right equipment and good help

I am working on using an old pool filter tank as a hempy bucket with a smart pot full of perlite suspended inside. Thinking of just sealing it up and making it a CO2 LED chamber for super growth!

Thanks, My equipment is not made for that gauge of material, it was a bitch and I am not a metal worker, hell I grew grass for a living for 35 yrs. If your wondering I was in the golf course biz.
I got this equipment when I bought my uncles house and business. I use it daily.
I have thought of building the CFL fixture for sale using lighter weight material. I think I get more growth from it over the 4 bulb T5. Oh well, I got other biz to take care of first.

I know there are a ton of replies on this thread already, but I wanted to thank the OP Nugbuckets. I had no idea this was possible, and have only been using LST. Thank you for this information, I look forward to a bit more intense bondage with my girls now ;)

wicked techniques here, i must say, thanks for passing on the knowledge. 2nd grow here, and just first mainline, this is one of the sweeter crosses of chernobyl we're running (we have a uk bubba and chernobyl dominant tent at the moment, just over 5 weeks in here, under a full spectrum chinese 400w led. unfortunately they didn't get babied as i had wanted but I'm still very happy.. about 4 weeks to go here.image-2.jpg :image.jpg
this is about 2 weeks in, give or take a day. they've already been heat stressed a bit here and given no additional alfalfa at the start of flower either.. looking forward to fixing this next round already. any other thoughts?

Ok here are my mainline girls. The Grapegod is the one i stuffed up with trimming too much and the jamaican dream is the one with the dodgy healed arm/branch.



















nice presentation, dude. shit, that jamacian dream looks like a fucking treat and a half, have you tried it yet?

Thanks.

Yeah i grew it at the start of the year as it was a free seed from a few years ago and i was up to my last seeds. i didnt know much about the strain but when i did research it I found out its heavy yielder and flowers in 55 days!! I ended up with 4 colas and a total of 12 ounces and this was with in a 10 litre pot! So i ordered more (expensive seeds) and thought i'll try mainlining so I can get a massive yield! I stuffed one of the main branches but its worked out well. You should see her this week..added so much density to each cola..going to be a massive yield and is only a week or so away!

The smoke is really good as well and the cured nugs are hard and compressed! Pricey seeds but awesome strain to grow, loooves the nutes as well.

The THC Bomb is similar in the way it has grow and is also a fast finisher. These two are now going to be my main future grows.

Did final trim before going 12/12. Have not trimmed much at all this grow, trying to follow Nugg's tutorial as closely as possible. One problem is my plant are short and dense. The plants are 8 to nine inches from the soil line so I am thinking giving them the time to get to 10 to 12 inches then going to flower. That should be by the end of this next week. That would put my harvest in around the end of Nov. to the first week of Dec. I want to harvest the WW in less than 50 days of flower. The C's, if I have three females will harvest one early, one at recommended time and one late, will just have to watch and chose my harvest point. These have only been grown outside so there is no history for a cabinet grow.
I am 42 days from when the seedlings went into the Hempy buckets

Haven't seen a jamacian strain that stacks so nicely yet, great to know, bruh! respect

I let things grow out a little longer and leave more fans until I start getting pom pom flowers. Then I give her a brasil. This shifts all of the focus to the flowers.
so you've never hermied a girl giving her one of your patented brazils at the beginning of flower, bro? lol.. by pom pom u mean like 10 days in or so? correct me if I'm wrong, respect mon

Each strain is different. You got the idea.
I try to avoid hybrid strains that are overly sensitive :) If you are worried about hermi issues - just take your time and remove a little here and a little there.
Sometimes I even keep secondaries depending on the structure and health of the plant.
