Bro you should be achieving buds much larger than that... sounds like you may need to tweak your setup a lil..well,what would you suggest to make my setup better.the only thing that i could think of is putting in an exhuast and maybe some co2,and when i say the size as a bic i meen length not girth,they get about 3 times fatter than a bic

Oh gotcha...i'll have a look at your grow when i'm not soo baked, there might be a few ways of tweakin it...lord knows i've overlooked the simplest things on a number of times. :)

can i flower with a 250 watt mh, and some fluoros, and still get some nice buddz??
Click to expand...
Yes you can still flower with MH, but its not ideal as its the wrong color spectrum for flowering (Blue spectrum 6500K+ for Veg - Red Spectrum 2700K for flowering) Some folks have got real nice yielding plants using solely MH lighting, but admittedly the yield would prolly have been even greater if HPS had been used.....
If you can only buy one light, buy a HPS theyre the most versatile, as it'll work just fine for veg, and put a big smile on your face come harvest time ;)
The fact that you also want to use some fluoros with the MH will help to even out the color spectrum in your grow space, as most fluoros are around 2700k-3500k which will provide a sufficient amount of red spectrum light..

Yes you'll get some nice smoke, but jus remember every element of our grow spaces contribute to the finished product, you could have the greatest light on earth and if the rest of the grow space isnt efficiently setup, you will never reach your true potential...
ALWAYS check your grow space is dialled in as best as poss, and you'll always get the best poss results.

there is too many posts to read them all, but in the first few pages there was talk of a son agro 150w hps bulb?

where can i find one?
are there any enhanced bulbs for 150w hps?
Click to expand...
i dont think i've seen one on the ocassions i've looked.
You will find many 150w hps bulbs ranging from Master SON-T PIA to SHP TS to regular SON-T HPS....which will vary in price from $6 to $30-40...
the truth is, theyre all the same...You may find one or two bulbs that have more blue light in their spectrum, but it is negligable, as most all HPS 150 bulbs are approx 2000-2100k, regardless of how much blue is in them.
My .2 buy the cheap bulbs and replace them regularly every 9mths before they lose too many lumens..
Buy a box of 6 $6 bulbs for 36 bucks and you have enough bulbs to keep you growing for the next few yrs.

Update: Just put a coupla beans into some hempys(made from bar ice buckets theyre CHEAP as heck on ebay)to see how they grow,and while the other 2 FAMC continue flowering.

5L 100% perlite medium, watering with plain water for the next 1-2wks, then i will be adding 7ml per litre of Ionics grow thereafter.
Once theyre on the the Ionics grow, they will be vegged for a further 2 wks, then thrown into flower in the 2x150 cab.
The strains in the hempys are Blubonic & Big Bud.
I also have pollen collected from Famc, that will be used on some of the lower blubonic buds, hopefully to start creating another new auto strain...
Blubonic is killer stuff, and would greatly improve the genes of my next auto strain.
big bud will also be crossed with the famc for its mega yield properties.
and then the hard work begins of making it stable.....lol seems like its never ending

go steady y'all

Newest member of the club just checking in.

Just got my 150 HPS from HTG and using it w/ 27 watt CFL 's right now. Have seedlings that are a week old from sprouting.

My plan is to do a small perpetual grow using 2 micro cabs for mom and clones using CFL's.
Flowering will be in small closet space w/ 150 watt HPS and CFL's..

Been following the thread for a little while now and learned alot already. Thanks for all the help. Ill post some pics soon.

This is my first grow in 10 years, so im shaking off the rust so to speak.

In these pics they are 6 days from sprouting.
This will be the flowering cab, im in the process of getting all i need to build a smaller cab for a mom and another for clones.

Im using bagseed for this grow, i wanna iron out any potential problems before i buy seeds.

Hello fellow 150w members. This is what I got so far, picture was taken last Friday after a good feed. It is a foot and a half and 13 days in to flowering today. Does the plant look OK for a first timer? How soon will I see some flowers?Input appreciated.

that looks nice.you should see some hairs starting soon if not already,it will take another week or 2 for the buds to start forming.so what strain are you growing?it looks like a indica strain,it has huge leaves.keep up the good work

I have an update and a question or two.


My seedlings are at 2 weeks now since they sprouted. I have them in clear plastic cups.

My first question: Is this bad?
I had a friend tell me that it was, but my plants seem healthy and happy. I like being able to see the root system. I plan on transplanting in another week to what will be the final pots. Plus I dont think the roots are really getting a large amount of light.

Ive read a little about taking clones from buds. Anyone use that method?

Id rather not take cuttings from an unknown. I dont wanna sex them and then go back to veg just to flower again. Anyones input or experience would be mucho appreciated.

those look good for 2 weeks.it would be better in a bigger pot and the clear cups do hurt the roots.any light will slow down root development and that is bad.

I have 7 Churches and 2 BigBud X OG Kush X Blackberry now going under my 150w light and there looking good, The Church clones are going fucking mad, there nodes are so tight its crazy.. Thanks to craigslist, i got them 10 bucks a pop, not bad i beleive.

The Churches LOVE my indoor setup, the BG yada yada is growing rediculously slow comparitively. There in miracle grow potting soil, i give them 1/3 recomended dose of the Tomato version of Miracle Grow (Church LOVES MG) and a couple drops of Super thrive per Q gallon of Distilled water. The BGOGBB its getting these weird golden streaks down the center vein of the leafes that consome a good portion of the leaf. Any one experience this? Blus the big lower fan leaves turn completly yellow one at a time so i cut them off. this has seemed to stop.

Ill get pics up soon.

Im also using clear pots, 2 liter bottles, and i like them because i can see when my clones are establishing a good root system. But it is not good. i plan on giving them a month in the 2 liter bottles. IVe had experience with mold growing in the 'clear' pot so ya, not a great plan. Maybe the green Mountain Dew 2 liter bottles would work better because plants dont 'see' Green light.

But ya man looking good, mine are similar in size to yours, looking good.

Thanks all for the advice and kind words....i transplanted a couple days ago and they went berserk, almost doubled in size in 3 days now.... gotta figure they needed it :-)

Ya ill probably use the clear cups to root my clones, once i see roots Ill transplant 'em into solid containers.

Photos of my recently chopped/dried Blueberry plant. Total weight of the main cola was 20.4 grams. Had to snip it into 4 separate pieces to weigh it. As of right now it is some of the best pot I have ever smoked. It is a real shame to smoke it.
