Hey PUKKA! That there is a very healthy looking plant! I'm excited to see what you can do with a 600W HPS in such a small space. I agree with RP -- bring it in now. What's your plan for this one? Will you be doing any HST/LST? If that plant's genetics turn out to be solid I think you could do...
It may seem slightly odd, but I almost find it more satisfying to watch a plant recover from trauma than to see it veg out; anyone can veg a plant, but it takes a little know-how to diagnose and treat an issue like this effectively and you always end up learning a lot. Plus it's just plain cool...
Seriously, best job ever. Heartbeat kind of job. This is looking really phenomenal; if I had enough room for just one of those 1kW lights I'd be a happy guy! Kitty, if you don't mind me asking, how did you get your hands on such a space? Is it just industrial/warehouse space you're renting, or...
Check it:
I still have a few things to do. I ran it last night to see how heat/ventilation was, and I'm definitely going to need to come up with a solution. At reservoir level it stabilized at ~90F. I have a plan for making a DIY "cool-tube" thing... You'll see. I'll update when I do it...
Hi guys! Good things are happening over here; I'm excited to tell you about them.
Sad indeed! But no longer :). She's looking pretty good.
Howabout a picture?
Looking good to me :). I'm going to pick up some hydrogen peroxide pretty soon as a precaution. I don't want anything else to go wrong...
It's definitely possible based on the age of your plant. Granted, there was the small setback, but it appears to be improving. They sure do look like pre-flowers! :D *crosses fingers*
Thanks micro! I'm pretty pumped for this one.
Yep! The plant is looking much better today :). I'll write up some more details with pictures below. I'm anxious to see how the new filters work as well -- it should only be a couple more weeks before she starts to smell! Amazon Prime is boss. It's...
Hmm, yes. I haven't necessarily thought about it for my case, but it's pretty obviously one of the more efficient ways to ScrOG. If a screen is split in the middle and each half is tilted up only thirty degrees, surface area is increased by a factor of 2/sqrt(3) (approx. 1.15) and at forty-five...
Looking good! The root system looks healthy -- I wouldn't be too worried about having waited a while. From the looks of things (yellow leaves, red leaf stems, relatively even coloration), I'd be leaning towards nitrogen deficiency. Hopefully the fresh soil will take care of the problem in the...
Hi everyone,
I opened my case this evening to see a very morose-looking plant:
She still looks perfectly healthy (aside from the droopiness) and the reservoir is low-ish but not THAT low, so after about five seconds of reasoning I can conclude she's droopy because of flat out lack of nutes...
There are any number of ways to grow plants inside of a PC case. I've seen anything from a three plant perpetual system in one case (gumball's grow, for example) to one giant plant ScrOGged to capacity (mine). A plant in soil will stay much smaller than a plant in a DWC setup, so plan around...
Aah, very good to know. I guess it's good that I went with HPS then! I definitely won't have enough room in the tent for one of each, but if I upgrade to a bigger tent some day I can definitely see plenty of CMH bulbs in my future :).
This is correct. Thanks for the quick response.
Word. I'm...
Thanks for joining up! I'll check out your grows. Yup, my goal for this one is 2 zips out of the PC case. I'll be growing another LSD separately in the tent in the mean time -- it would be great if I could get 4 from that!
I ordered mine from EastWestHydro for ~$80 with shipping and it came in about a week. But like I said in my previous post, check out CMH before you commit to HPS!
No problem! I bet the plant will do well in a bigger space. You should be able to get by with just the nutes in the FFOF, but if indeed you're seeing some N deficiency I wouldn't know what to do in soil anyway :P. I suppose I should probably figure it out some time soon.
Ahh, how generous! Very...
I'd wait on that HPS order... all the research I've been doing in the week or so since I ordered mine leads me to believe that CMH would be a much better pickup if you're going for an HID. They've really been causing quite the stir lately. I'd at least look into them. I'll probably stick with my...
Very sexy light shield. What did you use for the slats? I can't tell if it's plastic or metal. Did you just use the weather strip as your spacers?
Thanks in advance! Nice plant. She'll grow into that LST real quick like :).
Hey man, good stuff you've got going here! She's (*crossing fingers*) really taking off quickly for a bag seed. How big is the pot she's in now? It looks like about four inches... if you move up to a six incher your root system will have almost four times the volume to play around with but the...
Good stuff! Any grow > no grow. I'll stop by in a minute.
Agreed on both counts!
Hey Beachside. I'm glad you were able to find us. With any luck, this grow will be even better than the first :).
Theoretically if the RO filter is working properly, RO water should have a TDS of zero. A more...
