When are you adding the hps?

Man.... such a big thing this question. And nothing to do with growing or plants.

I messed up. The bulb with all the drama wrapped around it... is the wrong bulb. I ordered the wrong one. :wall: So now, I have a 250w MH ballast, and a 250w conversion bulb that fits a HPS ballast. So I really don't know what to do. The two real options are, 1. buy a 250w MH bulb and use MH for flower. 2. buy a 250w HPS ballast and use the conversion bulb for flower.

I'm leaning towards 2... then I would have ballasts a plenty, and the bulb I had wouldn't be a waste, and sometime I can get a 250w HPS bulb and then there would be 650w of HPS.

I'm pretty overwhelmed with this whole grow right now, but still having fun. I'm giving the girls some bushmaster today, running it for 24 hous... then onto flower nutes.

Thanks for the interest gfk (and everyone else).

I gave each girl 2 gallons RO, 4 mL Bushmaster, 8 mL Max Grow, 2mL Zone.

I will run this 24 hours... the start them on Bloom nutes.

I'm also thinking of spraying them with Sulphur powder again. Keep that PM gone gone gone.

It's time for magic. Are you guys ready to see the closet full of buds? I know I am. :bigjoint:

A mix of HPS and MH is good as well just run the MH along with the HPS. There have been studies about it saying its "supposed" to produce more resin. Don't quote me on that cause I have experience using both just from what I've read.

I'm a big fan of MH, HPS mix. I guess my thinking on this grow going with all HPS was for the extra lumens to cover the extra screen area.

Both my first two grows I flowered under 400w HPS and 250w MH... and you saw he pics on the first page. Many many many trichs.

I think I'll just order the MH bulb.

Here's pics of the chage over.

Ahh bushmaster, a scary this to me it is. Curious, can you post to us how much you use/plan on using and how quickly you usually see results? I am interested in that and would love to hear your feedback on it bro. :bigjoint:

Hi Jikgfresh,

Firstly, my sincere apologies for not stopping by sooner..I am sure you know what it's like, I am still discovering grows on re on a daily basis that are rockin.

Well this morning I have done abosultey no work whatsoever as going through 43 pages can be quite some work. I have seen your high and lows, and your losses (RIP - Otis) quite an emotional journey (not sure if you have succeeded in your quest for children yet - one thing at a time though.)

Props to Greenfirekilla420 for putting me onto your thread. I must say, I hope things work out for me on the Vertical grow I am venturing into as well as it is for you (well, it's a semi vertical, step grow - kinda like the Spanish Steps - I wish:lol:)

A couple of thing I noticed, Mildew - aaaaaggggghhhh. Yup, I also got it with my last grow, and I have vowed never to foliar feed again - don't do it, I am sure that's what causes it (no prob in previous grows without foliar feeding.) But as we all like to say, (thats my opinion;-)) I bought Silinal by EcoStyle which is an organic remedy and seems to work reasonably well (spray before lights out.) Then you just need to keep a look out that it is not getting onto the smaller bud leaves. But it is possible to still go the distance.

I also saw the soil grow you started and second Dr G, those girls look like they need more N. How are they doing now (was difficult to tell in the last pic) I use one fert through veg and flower, then add a PK 13+14 to the flower stage, and that's it.

Well I am sub'd now so there is no getting rid of me. I was a little confused as I didn't see any Headbands in the grow? Did I miss something?

Rep on it way Jig, happy flowering man.

:leaf:DST


P.S I love the mix of grow, green, and life (day to day shots) - really really makes the journal top notch!!)

you could stretch another net approximately 3-5 inches away from the first ???

This has definitely crossed my mind.

where are you mounting the MH above or below the HPS?

At the moment I am planning on putting it below the HPS... but I am leaving options open.

Ok... so Bushmaster. I've used it once on my Purple Kush grow (see signature). Then I used it like this: Added 2 mL/ gal. Bushmaster, plus my Dutch Master Zone and DM Max Grow. Zone is root condtioner stuff, Max is additive to help nute uptake. I ran this mix for 24 hours only. I beleive the ppm to be around 150-200. When I changed the rez after 24 hours, I filled back up with weak Flower nutes... My opinion is that the BM is still working and I don't want to burn anything.

I used BushMaster last grow. I changed the rez to the BM mix and I turned out the lights for 36 hours starting Midnight on a Friday. On Sunday when the lights came on I saw that the plants had not grown any taller at all. On Tuesday morning when the lights came on (so the beginning of the third day of 12/12)... all 5 plants had pistals EVERYWHERE. It looked like my first grow after 12 days of 12/12.

Don't get fired. And thankyou so much for remembering little otis. No kids (or pregnancy yet)... I think I might smoke too much. :wall:

We don't want to get rid of you. And what you missed is that my co-op stopped carrying Headband clones, so I got sour grape instead.

Now my co-op is carrying Blue Dream... can't wait for that.
