250w HPS Club And Help Guide

Hey Mind, Weren't you the one who turned me on to the foothill filter? I have a question about it. It just got here today. I see its refillable and thats cool and it looks well built. What I need to know is can I hook this thing up to the intake or the output side of my inline duct fan or is it just a single direction flow and will only work on one end of the fan? And if it is only one end, which end do I attach it to?

Your wish is my command

My plants are now about 50 hours without water, after 72 hours I'll start the normal process again 48 hours water and light, then 50 hours darkness, 12 hours light, harvest, 10 days drying, bong, vapor and ofcourse joints will follow

I got get me some bamboo stickers! About 3-4 weeks from harvest and I need to assemble my arsenal! This time my battle plan is "Shock and Awe Shit this stuff is good"!

mostly/ black rose you recomend putting tacks in? last 2 weeks? ive got 2 plants in flower 3 weeks in, can you explain this proces and the reasoning behind it?

Have either of you guys done a side by side experiment with untouched plants and abused plants?

Sure, Zech. The purpose is to get the plant sending repair nutes to the "injured" site (give me all ya got, baby). Those nutes also pump up the buds and make them slightly bigger and more resinous because the plant is programmed to try to get fertilized with stray pollen from a nearby male before it dies. We have no males available but the plant doesn't know it and keeps trying.

About two weeks from the cut based on what the seeds said on the package and your judgement of doneness, you get a pack of thumbtacks and stick one about every 4-6" up and down the stem and all bud producing branches. I stay about 2" from the bud itself when doing the branches. I also grab the top 1/2 of the plant and twist it hard one way and then the other. I lower the lights a couple of inches and give them a hot shot for a day and then move the light about 1' up from there on the next day ( plant says, hey, where that light go! It was hot as hell in here yesterday). I also will have a new toy when I get the bamboo stick and just "lance" the plant down low. You wait till 2 weeks out or closer do that the purposeful stress leaves no time for the plant to Hermie. The last 2-3 days I turn out the light completely and get things ready for cut day.

No side by sides but grow to grow using the same seed. The worse it could be is a waste of time and a little venting.

mann i dunno if im just trippin, but buds arent really developing that dense, im 30 days in for BB an 27 in for K-9 , yes i know 250 dont push alot of light to lower buds, but my main colas should be pretty dense right?.will edit with pics. n one sec.

What nutes are you using?


Btw. Crazy those are just shish kebab sticks I used.. The plant's stem is actually pretty hard with many layers of protection, so make sure the hole is dug deep enough otherwise you can really damage the plant I think and use tie raps too.. just in case

 

[Doobieus]

Where are the pics Skryptz?

And BR he's using the Foxfarm base tri pack.

Edit: Forgot to add that I should have high speed today, yeah living out in the middle of nowhere can complicate things sometimes lol. The first day the cable guy went to the wrong house, the second the bastard didn't even show, and today the supervisor is apparently going to install it lol. Regardless I should have some pictures for ya'll.

Well I've got 2 plants so.... Lol.

I'll do it to my smaller plant, and leave my bigger plant alone. I will do a side by side comparison, both plants are Black Domina. Kind of scared to get more trichs with this strain, it's real sleepy time weed already lol, more trichs and I'll probably be frikkin' comatose lol.

 

[MostlyCrazy]

Thanks BR. At this point my bottom stem is about 1 1/2" thick. I may have to use a hammer drill. I need to watch the Marathon Man dentist scene as a refresher! LOL!

You can start from seed with a hps.But i think you would benefit more from getting a hps/mh conversion bulb for vegging.

Mind is right about having some blue spectrum is good for veg. I know my T5 cost about 60 bucks, pretty cheap for a light. Try and get the temps a little lower if you can, high temps can affect the density of buds, but if you're plants are looking healthy then just let her grow.

Give it another week and repost some more pictures.
