250 Watt MH Grow with *PICS*

Hey Tom-

Did the very tips of your TSS dry up and curl? The very same thing happened to both of my plants and I talked to another guy who had the same thing happen to him. Guess it's just the strain cus your plant looks great and I think mine do too, except for the dried tips.

Weird.

DownOnWax- Yeah I am having some leaf tip curl and I don't know why. The above pic shows it the best. I gave the TSS a good flush today so maybe that will help it some


Dragonsmoke- Sorry man I can't be doing that :cry: I don't even know if the seeds will produce the same dark purple color as the previous plant

Hey Tom

I'm just bumping these 3 mate.
Lovin the pics ;)

The thaixskunk looks unreal, especially considering it's from G-labs.
That's a good pheno you got there.
That tip curl and burn is typical of a thai (sativa) that is over nuted. I see the claw there too.

Thai grows on 'spit and hope' and doesn't need a lot of feed.
It's hard to grow if your growing it with other indica dom' strains that all feed from the same trough.
...because you only need to fart on it to feed it :lol:
She's got plenty of indy in it so it will be fine.
It looks f*cking fantastic.


Concerning the Church...that's the cola shit I like.
That's what I love about MJ.
This is the sort of shit a good grower like yaself can get excited about.
You know whats on the way :hump:
Excellent thick branching, nice short internode distance.
You'll be goin to Church with this girl that's for sure :lol:

Excellent growing dude.
You shape those babies beautifully.

Watch those lumens :lol:
 
Yo man how does that black/purple stuff smoke?

I did some research into mexican genetics and I believe it could be zacateca(sp) purple or lowland oaxaca

I got an arm-sized schwag bud the other day and it had the same super dark coloration on the top of the bud, snagged some seeds from it.

MEXICAN STRAINS AND HIGHS

IMHO despite the size of mexico the weed seems to have been bred with two general uses in mind.

There is a happy buzzy lighthearted mexican that makes you giggle and have a good time, provides good optical effects giving things a trippy magic eye kinda look and is very good for socializing with friends. it seems they are usually the neon green vibrant buds, that are mellow and giggly lighthearted weed. I am personally under the idea that this weed is what was meant to be smoked for menial tasks, and hard manual labor, making them both tolerable and amazingly somewhat interesting. I've had a great time mowing my lawn and weed whacking high as shit on mexican that was happy enough to make you laugh, and buzzy enough to keep you on your feet and busy. These types of mexican I consider the beers of mexican sativas, with strains like highland oaxaca, lima limon (new school mexican "lemon lime"), and the golds.

The other type of mexican is usually the uglier more brown colored sativas that have ending the day as the use for the strain. Stone similiar to a trainwreck type high. VERY stupefying (not uncommon for it to stop you from doing simple math in your head), drunken and narcotic. IMHO this is one of the strongest types of weed there is to be had and I personally believe trainwreck echoes mexican stones far more than thai highs. Paranoia inducing and narcotic these are very typical mexican strains. They are a lot more beligerant and drunken than happily euphoric but do cause self introspection which is probably why it is favored among bruhas. Strains falling into this category include lowland oaxaca and zacatecas purple as well as numerous un-named strains. I consider these the mezcal of mexican marijuana.

However mixes of these two strains are also common and can be quite a complex quality stone.

Native strains tend to echoe native culture and mexican strains are no different. Smells are often described with words like dry, spicy, herbal, sugar cane, bay leaves, or peppery.

I wish I could take some pics for you guys... I don't have the good camera and the plants are looking fat as hell. The church is thickening up and getting real frosty (mammath you would be loving it :eyesmoke:). I need to make my passive intakes bigger but I cannot do it until I have a way of keeping light out. I was looking at a 20 dollar 8" by 8" darkroom louver that would not allow any light in. Here is a link to the site: http://www.adorama.com/DKL8.html

Does anyone have any experience using these? It seems like it would be perfect for allowing air in but no light, and for 20 dollars it really beats the hassle of trying to light proof with pvc elbows haha. Let me know what you guys think :blsmoke:
 
I'm sure I would ;) bongsmilie

For my passives I just use flexible duct.
Put a couple of slight bends in it and no light will escape.
You can then use normal intake looking vents.

If you want a simple vent to do all that for you...they look perfect.
If they work I want some lol.
 
Well since I don't have much floor space I think that these louvers will work perfect. The only thing that I might do is spray paint the front of them white. I will more than likely be getting these at some point. I'm going to look around locally first to see if I can avoid the shipping charge. I'll let you know what I think about the louvers if I get one. One 8" by 8" louver would be good since My exhaust is only 6"... correct? :eyesmoke:

slick stuff.....good catch there tom....
 
Thanks Kilo :mrgreen:
I found a camera store locally that might have the louvers I am looking for. I am going to call on monday (closed sundays) and see what they have. I will let you know what the outcome is in a couple days
 
Hello everyone I'm new to the site and I appologive in advanced for sounding like a newb but I'm on my first grow and was wondering if the plant in the picture above was Topped/Fimmed(sp?) also what manicuring did you provide for the plant sush as pruning? Thanks and Good job on the grow she looks great!

Which plant are you speaking of? I did not top the church plant I have. The thai super skunk was topped, supercropped, and slightly scrogged. The church was just tied down, no topping. check out these links:

My temps are the same.... I just let her go longer...

SZ has something similar too...

I'd like to do a comparison of all 3...:lol:

Well my purple clone is trying to reveg but is taking forever. She is under 24 hour light because she wasn't doing anything under 18/6. I did germinate two of the seeds that I got from the purple plant. They cracked in 24 hours and were alright outta the soil at 48 hours. I have them in jiffy pucks right now but I am transplanting them into some peat and perlite today. I really hope that these seeds have the same purple leaves to them because as of right now the purple clone isn't doing shit
 
I've got some black bud genetics too, idk when I'm going to be growing them out but its probably the same family of bud, the nugs I got my seeds from had dark almost black leaves.

Tom, Clones revegging can take 3x longer than normal. Particularly with some varieties. My Blue Mystic is almost impossible to root from flower much less regularly. This is the only plant I have not had 100% clone success with. 1 in 4 clones survives. Be patient with it, keep it in PERFECT conditions for up to 5 weeks. BTW, I tried the Blue Mountain Organics Super Plant Tonic. I soaked my rockwool in it prior to cloning and have had good results. I also use powder. Just thoughts to help you save that wonderful purple... :-)

Also, those dark room things work fine. Not using them anymore but they do the trick just fine.
 
Do the louvers constrict a lot of airflow? I guess either way it would be better than my tiny passive intakes that I have now
