Thanks everybody for the love I really appreciate it means a lot to me. Yes she does look beautiful and I'm glad she wasn't dead when I got home. Buds are already swelling like crazy and lots of them are doing he gangster lean :lol: if I didn't have the net up these would be falling over. Stinks to high heavens like Berry Haze. I put the wrong week up when I updated this is week 7 so not too much longer. Haven't looked at trichs but will have a look later today. Glad to be back with my peeps. Gotta get back into the flow of things. Work is taking a great deal of my time but I'll be good once I get back right

UPDATE DAY 50 12/12/ WEEK 8

Ok things are looking great and moving along fast. This girl is really maturing fast and I think I'll be chopping her down Friday. I think with her being in preflower like she was has helped her mature faster. Started the flush on Thursday by flushing the pot till the runoff ppm was close to the ppm of my water. Now I'm just changing the water everyday. I also changed the light cycle today to 10/14 to see if that will help her ripen up a lil faster. I've never done it before so I wanna see if it does anything.

I've scoped her down and most of the trichs are cloudy with about maybe 5% amber so this last week should finish her up just right. Don't like a lot of amber trichs and if I was pressed for space or time or anything of that matter she would come down today. Loving the smells this girl is putting out; it's a berry citrus haze piss smell. The haze is dominate in the smell but the berry is prominent too. Next time I grow this girl I have to have a carbon filter cus this girl stinks so bad it has my whole house reeking and you can smell her outside a lil bit. Plus she has my clothes saturated with the smell. I put on clean clothes and people think I've been smoking :mrgreen::p:D:P It's been a real pleasure and treat to grow this girl and she will be in my stable for as long as I can keep her. Can't wait till I move so I can breed her. Here is the beautiful lady as of yesterday

Beautiful James, looking good/healthy for being almost time to chop, definitely looks like a keeper, enjoy the harvest :)
Looks like we both lucked out on the first pheno/seed, the one I have going is just a beautiful specimen, probably 2 - 2 1/2 weeks away and the nicest plant I've grown in a while, largest indoor so far and looks like a keeper as well :)

Man Im going to have to get me one of those CMH lights as they're doing wonders and a lot of people are jumping on them.

She's not too bad but I would like a more healthy plant. She faded a lil sooner than I liked only because the Mrs was taking care of her while I was away working so I didn't expect her to keep her like I would but she did just fine. Very happy with what I got and this is the largest indoor for me too. Can't wait to see your finished product bro

Getting closer than I thought, won't be long now, Lucked out on that decision to switch from cheap LED's to this Elite Agro CMH, definitely worth a few extra bucks over hps imo. Looking like it'll produce what my son produces with 600w hps, pretty sure 2 of them would match a 1000w hps with a full footprint (3x6' would be perfect for 2 lights) and pull about ~760w @120v, ~680w @240v. He's rebuilding his room so he'll be running them @240v, even better. We were going to try a same strain/clone side by side with his 600 but he's switching to these CMH for his next run after seeing what these 315's can do, he'll be replacing 2200w of hps with 6x the 315's, we expect he'll draw less, less power to cool than the hps, and outperform in yield, not a bad thing in my books :D

That's exactly why I looking to get these when I move cus I was thinking of doing a 6000w HPS flower tent but after seeing what they do they'll be a much better investment and you just confirmed everything I was thinking. Thanks bro I think I still want a few HPS in the tent so I may do a half and half

Def no problem recommending them after a couple of runs, awesome flowering capabilities, fast, and much more efficient than everything out there, other than maybe the highest end LED's, but at about 1/2 the cost (less if you go bare bulb). A mix of both (hps/CMH) would be interesting and a mix of these and DIY COBs is where I'm heading next with lighting, the 2 combined should put out dense and huge budz...

When you guys refer to CMH light, are you talking about a Metal Halide? A special kind of Metal Halide?

Edit: Never mind...I Googled and found it.

I was referring to a very specific Philips Elite Agro 315w bulb which is imo the most efficient of the CMH bulbs from a draw and spectrum standpoint. I'm just about to harvest my first full footprint (3x3') with one of these and it's looking like ~12 zips, in soil, with low (500 ppm) feeds every other watering in flower. I could see hitting a pound with the right strain, method and pushing the nutes. That's pretty efficient :shock:

Ceramic Metal Halide. I had trouble finding good info about these also after I read Scottyballs thread. I ended up growing outside and also trying LEDs.
