Highlander grows his plants more like SOG style, single colas, but I think cfls can do the job for vegging. I always give my plants some veg time under HID's unless they are going straight into 12/12, but I would also swear by cfl's as well. It can be hard sticking a 600w bulb in a 50cm squared space. You are then battling with heat. I have even done the first couple of weeks of my min cheese scrog under cfl's and they were happy as larry. CFL's FTW <<<<ahahahaha, only joking, but they are definitely not to be left out of an indoor garden, there is always use for them.
I start my seeds with cfl's and after a few days transfer them under my t-5 generally for a couple of weeks. This grow is a mixed grow with sativa dominant plants and indica dominant plants. A couple of the plants are under my 600 mh after only a few days and some of them after a week or so. I put them in the garden sunday morning and they got twelve hours of 600 watts before the lights went out. After only a couple of days under the six hundred I can already see the pace of growth increasing but it's too early to tell about the side branching. Truthfully, when I veg under my t-5 the plants stay super compact until I put them under my big lights and they then start to stretch like mad.

DST, thanks for the pics, the super silver haze looks fantastic and the malawi I lst'd so I never got to see one grown straight up. She'll start to deliver some absolutely beautiful aromas as she matures. If I remember correctly it also had very curly hairs unlike most plants who stick straight up. She would add smell and flavor to any cross.

Just a pic of my ultra high-tech Canadian Rolling Machine (made in Ottawa, circa 1973).
Has helped me roll a few thousand doobies. :-)

When they switched from bills to coins, about 20 years ago I think, I was tending bar at the time and people were treating them like quarters. I made a killing. Canadians nicknamed it The Loonie, because it depicted a Loon on the back. A few years later they got rid of the two dollar bill and replaced it with a coin. And guess what we called that one? You guessed it! We call it a Twoonie. Yup, we are a little Loonie Toons here. Anyway, I don't even have one of those.

Their Ebay ad claims 15-20lbs of dried finished product in 60-70 days or some BS. Doing the math with their 35 plant sites put's the plants in then 7-9oz per range. He says in the video you can expect anywhere from 3-9oz per plant though. I can see 3oz per plant (6.5lbs total) but seriously doubt 7 or 9 (15-20 claimed).


EDIT: "15-20lbs of dried plant matter" is what it says. I suppose you could get that much plant matter but still.
I say horsecrap. There is no way he's going to get three ounces per plant of usable bud. That site is just too damn crowded unless he's using clones and doing a sog and even then he's not going to get that kind of weight in bud from each plant, no way. I am completely open to being proven wrong. I'm from the school of...you can tell me anything, show me.

Here's the current state of my grows.
This is the 4x8 scrog

Small tent

Big tent

Seeds I'm hoping will ALL sprout


I also will typically place a couple CFLs over the seeds I'm trying to sprout and move them to under the other flouros for veg. I'm going to be giving vegging under HID a try so the dome is under CFLs and the seedlings will stay under them for about a week once they sprout before going under the 600MH.

I just had the tray sitting here when I took the pic. It's sitting on a little shelf under CFLs in the other half of the room.

I agree.
I was thinking that if they were spaced out a little more you could get way with a little bigger plants and probably get in the 1.5-2oz per plant range. That's why I was saying space them 10" on center in each direction and put 15 in a 4x4 space. Should be able to pull 16-20oz from 15 plants I would think.

I can't say anything bad about canadians. I dated one for a couple of years, best cook I have ever run across in my life and she gave great head.

They're as good as they're going to get I'm afraid. Might swell a bit still (hopefully) but I don't think they'll be doing much more than that.

Dez, I agree with you completely. After one has been growing for a couple of years experience should tell you that claim is a load of crap.

There is a dude named trichlonefiend??? who does clones in a sog/scrog?? and his buds were fantastic, but he is a one in a thousand grower and obviously has his routine down like genuity. I'll be happy if I hit three ounces per plant this grow in three gallon smart pots.

Yeah, my mom is Canadian, so I keep a stash of funny money around for when I meet with my parents up in Vancouver when they stop over on their way to & from Alberta & Alaska. This was my last paper bill, but I still have about $25 in mostly Loonies & Twoonies and assorted change. Have driven all over B.C., Alberta, N.W.T. and Y.T., but never been East of Alberta.
But one of these days, perhaps when Rush has released R60, I'm going to make a pilgrimage to finally see them in concert on their native soil.
Peace!

Looks good. So what strain is that dog? Doesn't look like a Kush to me :lol:
I have 707 Headband, Afgoo, Bubba Kush, Blue dream, GDP, Purple Dawg, Mango, Hindu Skunk, and Blue nose x American bulldog:lol:
The GDP is the big one that is all yellow and shit. Never figured out the yellowing prob. My new Ph meter comes thur or fri.
The smaller clones that looked poor are from a friend, and got over-fert from the soil I think. They are looking better everyday.

The mh has been plugged in for a while and didnt explode yet...lol. Maybe it will work out?!?

I spent 10 years in Alberta and drove truck up and down the Rockies from Prince Rupert BC to Sacramento, as far south I've been. I'm back on in Ontario for good now so anytime you get this way DB, you let me know, I'll get the tickets!

I'd be stoked to get 3oz per plant as I haven't hit that mark yet. Before trying the 12/12 from seed and from rooted clone I seemed to average a little better than 2oz per plant but haven't even had a 2oz plant since before that. I like the idea of harvesting many small single cola plants as there'd be less trimming I'd think. I just don't like the idea of having that many plants going all at once. This is why I told the dude I bought some of my equipment from no when he called offering me a smoking deal on two of those 60 site aero systems he was trying to sell. He had two of those and two EZ clone 120s or something like that.

What is an average yield for an outdoor plant?


Can a hid bulb cause a burning smell? I took out my mh bulb and am running it from my hps ballast (no smell when the hps bulb was in)and the burning smell is back from b4 when I ran that bulb in its own ballast. I took that ballast apart and didnt smell anything there. I looked at ther mh bulb and noticed a lil piece of glass rolling around in there, we are talking realllly small though.

**Edit** bought a new mh bulb, and will see in a while if the burning smell is gone now.

Hey 600 pals i come to you today for advice. I have spider mites for the first time ever. I think i cought them in the early stages, I first noticed a small web on a fan leaf and upon further inspection a few plants are ate up with them fuck me. Ive been reading up on the hot shot nopest strips but all ive read so far is its no good in flower :shock: is this true :shock: I see alot of egg sacs so i gotta get this thing sorted before the garden is infested.

I heard the same as you on the pest strips. I have one hanging in the veg room and I've got one in the small flower tent but it'll only be in there for a few days and then I'll remove it. I worry about contaminating buds with poison. I'm thinking the small tent is early enough in flower to be okay but not sure id use them on the big scrog since its getting to be within a couple weeks of harvest.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! F(*& MITES! Im harvesting some stuff at the moment that had a rough run in with the bastards... It just makes me sick seeing the damaged leaves during trim :-( sad. Id say remove all damaged leafs because they most likely have eggs on them, dont remove too many I guess. Then Id say bring your temps down to as low as you can to delay their reproductive cycles, and it also wont hurt to get some predators in there to eat em up. but before you do that id try emptying an entire 20lb tank of co2 during the night cycle. You could also try spot treating with a miteacide. It takes many different angles of attack to controll or get rid of the borg.

Hope this helps some.
