I am glad that you have experimented with topping and different ways of LST and the method you used for your Burmese seems to be working out the best (minus the stretch of course) I have spent countless hours researching on different ways to train your plants for a lower profile with lower...
@ Majek, you certainly did a good job with your LST work. You have inspired me to follow your LST style. Correct me if I am wrong, but it appears to me that if you LST (early) let's say at around 4-5 nodes, you would end up with more budsites with small colas. Using your method, it looks like...
I haven't finished reading through this thread yet and will continue to do so. Thanks to those who have contributed to this thread.
I'm going to be running a 150w HPS with 1 125w daylight CFL in a homebox xs tent that's approximately 2'x2'x4'. My goal is to yield an oz and a half with 2 plants...
Yeah their customer service is good, but I would rather not have to deal with them if you know what I mean.
With a 150w HPS, your best bet is to low stress train in combination with topping or fiming. Or you can scrog or sog. I've also seen people grow 12/12 from seed or clone. Your yield will...
Bad ballast brother. I had the same exact problem with the same exact light from HTG. I told them it was the ballast and they said they would send me a replacement. 2-3 days later, I received a replacement lamp and I knew it wasn't going to fix the problem. I called them immediately and told...
I have to downsize for my 3rd grow from a 400w MH/HPS to a 150w HPS in a a 2'x2'x4' tent. My plan is to have my plants finish at 2 feet or less since the 150w can't penetrate much more than 1.5 feet or less. I'll fim at 3-4 nodes from seed and then flower once the new shoots are established...
Big thanks for your input. I don't want to low stress train or scrog, so if I am not going to get good results with implementing topping and having really short plants, I might just get a digital 250w.
I use both the lift the pot technique and the rapitest mini meter (single probe) which has a scale from 1-4. Got mine on ebay for less than $10 shipped.
Edit: I use the hanna 98129 combo meter and so far it hasn't given me any problems. I've owned it for a little over a year now. It was $119...
Damn I'm glad I came across this thread as I am very interested in growing CH9 pineapple. I ordered 10 Ch9 Jack seeds from their website in late June and received them in 10 days or so. Will be subscribing to this thread.
I'll be growing CH9 Jack which according to the breeder, are easy to keep short. I'm just not sure how far down a 150w HPS can penetrate. I think that I'll shoot for plants that finish in between 2 and 3 feet.
Just read through this thread. Definitely subscribing as I will attempt to grow with only a 150w HPS. How tall are your plants right now and at what height did you throw them into flower at? They look really nice and I can't wait to see them bud. I had planned on low stress training, but topping...
I'll be working with 1 150w HPS in a 1.9'x1.9'x3.9' homebox xs tent. I want to grow 3 plants in 1.5-2 gallon pots and keep them short. What do you guys think the maximum height I should veg my plants to before throwing them into flower. I won't be using any CFL's for secondary lighting, so I...
From CFL's to a 400w HPS. You are going to love the 400w. It's what I used for my first 2 grows and loved it. Unfortunately, due to my living conditions, I'm going to be growing with only 1 150w HPS with no secondary lighting. Curious to see how things will go. But your plant looks good.

Unless you are mentally unstable and have a split personality disorder, you will be able to handle acid. Just don't take more than 2 doses. Acid is awesome if you are in the right environment. Either way, definitely go on a nature walk or watch planet earth in blu ray or listen to music and...
