The Green Crack
In case you are wondering, That hole in the back wall is plummed to the intake of the floro flower area.
By taking air from here I am only a foot away from the vent in the floor.

I really cant believe the trich production in this floro cab.
Check out this TW bud.

Now closer,

Now just the tip.

And whats nice is all of them are like this one.
Gotta love it.

You always have the healthiest looking plants brother. Back when I only had my mother plant, mid 30 days ish in veg and I was obsessed with her many people said I had a really really healthy looking plant, but you always have alllll very very good looking plants. Nicely done man.

 

[cruzer101]

Thanks bro,

I know you take a lot of time with your grow and you will get there too.

Proper lighting and temps, 1/2 strength nutes with correct PH, fresh air or supplemental CO2 and they do it themselves.
Dont discount root temps. If clones are too cold or hot they wont root. If durring veg you can keep the root temp within 10° of the canopy it helps keep them short and bushy. If you have trouble with high temps, like in the summer, cool the roots and it cools the whole plant.

Works for me.

Beautiful! What a tease, but I could you for it! What week are those? Lookin pretty close to done?

Yep, they are done. Week 9 or 10 of flower. I am flushing the res now.

Yea baby, Bud in a box is where its at.

The floro cab may hit 2 oz but Im thinking more like 1.5 oz.
I know you feel a 250w would do better then what you got but I dont know, the way you get those girls to spread out like that along with the way the floro spreads the light out, It would be close.

Your pumpin like 20k lumens over a footprint of like 24" by 15" all getting the same amount. You go 250w ya get like 33k lumens but concentrated in a much smaller space, even with a parabolic screen I think it would be tough to beat what you got. Hard to say without trying it.

I looked at the light you modified on ebay. All I found was the 6500K version. Did you buy two lamps then the 3000k bulbs separately or did you buy a lamp from him with them in it.

True about light dispersion. However, hps have way more penetration than any flouro. This is what makes me think I would do better overall. I have never seen flouro beat hid watt for watt. I know if I had more space for my 400 I would get more yield. I am satisfied with what I got going for now though.. maybe after the new year I will kick it up a notch by trying out a 250w hps.

I baught the fixtures with 6500k bulbs and then baught the 2 2700k bulbs separate. If you contact them I am sure they would hook you up with what you need.

Question for you??? How do you like your cmh bulb? More crystal production?? And.... where did you pick it up.

 

[BooMeR242]

haha "just the tip..." havent heard that line in a while.

lookin good cruz! i feel so behind with ur thread u have so many pages and ive been way too busy to catch up haha. but looks like everythings doin great.

I will have that answer in about 8 weeks.
For now I will say this last grow, this stuff is the best I have grown in my last 5 or 6 cabinet grows. Once I am able to grow the same strain under a different bulb (this grow) I will be able to tell in regards to trich production.

Hey If you do go 250w in there would you want to sell your light and ship it to me?

haha "just the tip..." havent heard that line in a while.

Hey, its enough you pop in once in a while. busted knees and broken up grow op and all. I hope your next op works out better man.

[BooMeR242]

Hey cruzer101, I have been checking out your progress since the Nute Challenge, and I have to say.... You are doing Fantastic! and your threads have been very informative and helpful, Thanks for that!

I wanted to tell you about something that I recently tried out and thought it might be useful for you. I made a several runs through the Bubble bags, but with each run, I recycled the green water (used it over and over), When all was said and done, I threw the used leaf and green water into a roaster with butter and made Cannabutter. It came out the best I have ever made, finally got the dosage down to 1 tsp for a perfect relaxing Body Stone, and 2 tsp for a more intense Medicinal factor. My original intentions were to extract the Remaining THC, and the CBN's, CBD's....etc, then after the strain and separation from the water, was to reheat and add some of the lesser grades of hash I just extracted to bring the potency up (without straining). After trying the Cannabutter, I feel adding the hash is not neccesary. So I will just save that for smoking. Not only did I have a GREAT haul of hash, I also made a few pounds of Potent CannaButter with the leftovers that usually get tossed out.

I hope you try this and find it helpful, and Thanks again for all YOU do!

I will be looking forward to seeing results from that cmh bulb. I have read here and there that they help to produce stickier buds.

I have plans for the light man.. Sorry. I am going to build a rubbermaid Scrog tub and maybe add some watts. After my next several rounds in the cabinets I will need to be in a more transient set-up for a bit. I am also working on designs or a custom hps scrog cabinet that is modular (breaks into several movable pieces). I have gleaned several ideas from your cabinet builds. I definitely want air-cooled lights.

doooope setup dog!! beautiful!!! Good job!

Ha, you been lurking for how long? Thats a while man.
Well Im glad you desided to chime in. Welcome.

So, you use the left over bubble water for something besides feed the lawn with. Cool. I like the idea. Now I just gotta figure a way to do it with cooking oil instead of butter. I suppose I could.

Thanks man. I got gallons of the shit. I will look into it.

Wait, you used the leaf material too huh. If i just subsituted oil for butter and froze it... How long did you cook it?

No problem, just thought I would ask.
I can do the same thing you did.

Yea thats why I tried the CMH. The TW was hella sticky.
This bulb has blue in it too. We will see.
