400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

[greenfirekilla420]

When you start seeds on 12/12 its gonna take up to 30 days for the plant to start flowering. It still needs to grow and mature like a baby. You pretty much screwed yourself by switching the lights back to 18/6 be patient damn it you can't grow bud in a week mane.

does anybody in here recommend getting a tent to use my 400MH/HPS in? Ive been thinking about getting a small one for stealth purposes but havent heard much on them

 

[tom__420]

Yeah a tent would be awesome to use man, the only thing is that you might need a stronger exhaust fan since it is in a more confined area. Check out GrowLab brans tents, here is a link: http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/Items.asp?Mc=HOMEBOX&iTpStatus=1&Tp=

Mine is a grow lab. Its the second smallest they have. Its 2'2"x2'2"x5'3". I have to use two exhaust fans to compensate for the heat in such a small area. No intake fan just use the passive intake ports to suck air through. Its a good idea, I paid 160.00 out the door for mine at my local hydro shop.

peep out the girls..let me kno how its lookn??? this is the first grow..

400 watt hps
fox farm bb,tb, beastie blooomz, and soon to add cha ching...

ne1 kno when the perfect time to add cha ching would be???? im week 5 now.....

im not expecting an exact amount but whats a yield lookn at based on how they are lookin in these pix so farr????????

holla at me!!!!!!!!!

 

[greenearth5]

cool.. thanks for the link tom... I have 3 small lowriders under a 400HPS and its inside a walk in closet.. its not the ideal setup.. well i had inspections come thru recently and almost discover my setup so im looking for something more concealed then just leaving them out in the open on the floor of my furnace/closet room... is there any other type of grow tents that look more concealed.. maybe like a portable closet or a piece of furnuture that wouldnt look alarming if the inspectors come thru again and see it in my room?

+ rep for the link... those look good and similiar to what im lookin for

 

[greenearth5]

you need to add that cha ching right now man... dont use too much cause its 100X potent then normal nutes

the local hydro man told me that the cha ching is the main thing for the flowering and if i dont use the other two then i should use it from the initial stage of flowering.. i know u got the other two but by lookin at them huge buds i would suggest useing it now... one pinch is easly 1000 ppms in a gallon of water

is that tent a dual chamber? also how much do those fans cost... i seen them at the shop for 100 bucks.. can they be put inside the tent?

Dual Chamber??? No its just a small straight shooter looking tent. I have one of those stanely blowers from walmart that I rigged for a 6". And than a growbright 4" fan from htg. I'm gonna buy another stanely blower next year to replace the old one I have now. I might just get two of them and use the 4" as an intake fan at night. I live in the south so heat is a major issue for me and with such a confined space the 400 pounds out heat.

Look into these. They should have something to set you up.http://www.homegrown-hydroponics.com/

ok becos i started them on 12/12 yea then put them 18 now 12 this make diffreac thre about 3 foot

Wait, you're flipping indoor plants to 12/12 when they are 3 feet tall? Are you gonna have enough room for them to stretch to double or triple that size?

Looking at this one, I would leave it G. Whatever happens it isn't going to hurt it. There are still loads of white hairs on this. the calyx's will also fatten out over the next 10 days. you will def still get a great bit of weed if you cut it now...but your choice. Just keep monitoring.

When you mention Amber, are you talking about the Trich's? Do you have a microscope? that's the best way to tell, and even then it's a matter of personal preference. More milky than amber, higher buzz, more amber, couchy buzz....as a general rule

Okay I think I was pretty lit last night, and really tired. I'm not wanting to cut right now. I was thinking I should start flushing on my next watering, friday. Then flush for 2 weeks, or until the PPM of the runoff is very low, or both, then cut.

Ya the trichs. I only have a $10 mic but it goes to 100x (radioshack). There's def some amber in there. I let my outdoor Green Crack go way too long cuz I was afraid of makin the common noob mistake of cutting too early just cuz it looks good. So I just wanna be somewhere closer to the optimum window of picking time this time. And I want to have left myself plenty of time to flush. It doesn't look like I'll get all that much off these anyway, so I'm not looking to push nutes till the last second. I just want to get a great smoke now. So would you flush soon? Not just DST, anyone answer.

Grow4Joe: Ya man sounds good I got to be done growing by the end of jan. until about july of 2010 got a baby coming so gonna have a lot of out of town traffic. I don't even wanna deal with anything about finding weed plants so I got get as much as I can out of these next three months.



[/QUOTE]

i know exactly how you feel man,
the missus just gave birth to my son two weeks ago and my paranoia has gone through tha roof!!! once these dried, its a cool off period til jan.

 

[grow4joe]

DAMN MAN!!

[greenfirekilla420]

Wow ya you got some guts. She is due sometime in march-april so I don't want to be pushing it growing during those times. I'd rether just wait it out.

YES!!! i recomend that you wait!!!
the first few weeks are the craziest, all the people comin round, in and out, and all you can do is bite your nails! its not worth the hassle at all, especially when a kid is involved,
it has already died down here now so i have cooled down abit, but its always safe with a cool off period.

couple of update pics of the last week, then a weekend of darkness and then.......... HARVEST!!!!!

What strain and how long have they been flowering for? I would say shoot for about 50% amber trichs. But its all up to you.
