150w HPS Club: Inspirational Resource

Hey everyone...got an update on my 3 plants. We are now at 42 days flowering. It seems like my buds should be more full being at 42 days, maybe its just me. The first 2 pics are the Aurora Indica clone, the next 3 are the BubbleDust and the last 3 are the Mazaar. Any comments are welcome, let me know how they look for being 42 days. Thanks!

They Look pretty much perfect for 4 days man! really nice! They will comtinue to fill outin the next two weeks I say start flushing now!

whats up guys, i use a 150 HPS so i figured id post a pic of my setup... maybe get some feedback. Its nothing too crazy, actuallly its pretty simple. im having a small problem with heat. hopefully the 133 CFM fan that should be here any minute will drop the temp some, and humidity too. Right now temps are at mid 80's day, 70 at night. humidity reaches 50% sometimes need to drop that 15-20%. will the 133 cfm fan do this?

Here's pics of the FAMC's 13 days old - already shown sex at day 9 -

Looking good, reall good, are those two with the silver plates the perlite hydro? whats FAMC?

MAn the seeds i started my cab with ended up being the hardest strain to take care of i have yet come across. i lost about 12 from root rot i think, and the rest were only about 3 inches tall under the 150w, i was getting pretty frustrated but all is looking well now. slowly but surely.

What's good all! Just found this thread & figured I'd jump in. Here's my current grows. The first couple are of my Lowryder 2 mother plant that is currently making me some seeds to do crosses with. She's a biggie and was all but dead early on.

The others are my auto blueberry x ak47s that are about a week old. They're under cfls right now for their brief veg state but will move under the 150 hps in a couple of weeks.

how many 150s do you have on all of those plants

Sup MM, hows things?
Thanks bro, These are a real easy strain, no major issues or dislikes and spidermites dont touch em...theyre pretty nute tolerant and the smoke is real nice
The mylar covers over the Hempys were just while i was cutting slots in the Ice bucket lids, so i can use the original lids.( i was doing this a the time of taking photos)

whats FAMC?
FAMC is Frostys Auto Micro Cheeezle

Yeah suck bro, some strains take hella time to grow, Ingemars Punch for example, Vegs sooooo slowly that i nearly threw the stuff out of the grow room,but its worth being patient as its a great smoke when it finally starts growing...
My lifesaver is usually a slow starter but since i've gone hempy with it it has taken off a lil quicker, and seems to be screaming out for more and more Nutes...Ima up the dose to 400ppm later, its been gettin 2-300ppm of ionic grow for the last 2 wks.

Go steady

Fabulous thread, had to check in ... fairly new to RIU, I like it a lot 'cause I do like pot. Lousy rhyme but I had to do it. Anyway, I need batteries for the old digicam and will get some pics up in a day or two. I am in late seedling stage, three plants at 3 inches maybe, 10 days old, under 112w of CFL (wrong ones, 2700k, but only till Tuesday). Tuesday two things get delivered: 125w CFL w/reflector and four 42w 6500k CFLs, that's for vegging. Also coming is my NEW 150HPS which is perfect for me like for many of you ... I will put the 112w in 2700k CFLs with the HPS in the flowering closet for use in about (what?) a month, I guess.

I know growth will accelerate with the right lights. I mean, DAMN, look at Mr. Frosty's 13-day-old ladies! Wow! I am definitely in the right place, thanks for all the knowledge -- and wisdom, too, which is even better. I have Lemon Skunk and that freebie Thai Super Skunk going now. But dig this: A music fan in Amsterdam turns out to own one of the mid-size seedbanks and is sending me 10 WW Fem AND 10 Light of Jah. I have to get help here because I don't want to screw those up. My first attempt? Burned 5 Feminized Lowryder#2 in the sun like an idiot. Since then, I've spent months reading and lurking. Wow, RIU is like college. Thanks to all!

One last thing. I am going to put one of the plants (assuming at least two fem in this first batch) outside and the other into the HPS flowering closet. I am in the foothills outside L.A. and it is SUNNY and HOT up here, and one side of my yard is a straight 12/12 area by chance (or I'm blessed somehow). Only place in the yard that gets most of the sun most of the day. Check in soon with pics. Thanks again for the education, folks.

Ive only got 1 150w HPS, it seems to be enough for 3 plants...just not sure if i should be seeing more buds or my lants shoul be filling out more.

Well here's another update...plants are at the end of 7 weeks and looking very good...started flushing 3 days ago and im wondering if these ladies are gonna go longer than 8 weeks...im seeing about a 30% amber in the trichs and it is so dang frosty. The first 3 pics are the aurora indica, next 3 are the bubbledust, next 3 are the mazaar and the last is all 3 plants. Thanks everyone!

Do you have a grow journal of this grow that I can check out? Those are ridiculous results given that you have 3 plants that size under 1 HPS150. Very curious to see your overall grow set up (this thread is like thousands of pages long so I apologize if I'm being lazy by not going through them to find any initial setup pics you may have posted). Seriously, I am in awe of your growing prowess. They look stellar. With 30% amber trichs you're probably 1.5 to 2 weeks away tops IMO. And get ready for that mazaar. I hear it wacks you over the head pretty good when smokeable. Very well done sir.

Thanks for the compliment, and unfortunatly I didnt keep a real detailed journal with this forum, I basically just took a crap load of pictures from seed to now. I didnt even know about this club until I was about to go into flowering. I really wish I would have done a grow journal after seeing what ive done. My setup entailed to a 150w HPS in a cool tube reflector with a 6in inline fan keeping the bulb cool. All this was in a Homebox S grow tent. I used fox farm ocean forest as medium and I didnt even have to use any nutes during veg, the soil fed my plants just perfectly with no deficiencies. I vegged for only a month and when flowering began, I used fox farm trio for nutes and followed it strictly and did not have any deficiencies during flowering either(except for the normal yellowing of bottom leaves). The first pic shows my tent, the second shows the inside with the cool tube, the third shows my plants at 2 weeks veg, next is 3 weeks veg, then 4 weeks veg. Next is 2 weeks flower, then 3 weeks flower, then 4 weeks. That kinda gives an idea of the process, I wish it were better organized, but i did the grow log very poorly.

If anyone is interested I have a grow log that is updated almost daily. In my log I use:

1 x 150 Watt Sunsystem HPS
2 x 54 Watt Sunblaze T5's
8 x 26 Watt CFL's
4 x 17 Watt Flouro's

Check it out in my sig. New photo's daily. I am about 5 days into flowering and I have 3 girls and one boy that I will be pollinating the lower buds with.

I know when I harvest these, im gonna be starting another grow and this time im gonna detail everything in the grow journal forum on here, I really regret not doing a good journal, but i didnt even think it was gonna turn out like this....if you have any other questions or want to see any specifics to my plants or setup, just let me know!

One other thing...does anyone know any specs on the Mazaar? Ive been trying to find the flowering time cause it seems like this woman is gonna go longer than the others...thanks!

new pics of my ladies. These little o.g. kush plants are turning a real nice shade of purple

what the hell??? are those top colas? shoot colas? or a lil further down? they look a lil off

i'm having a bit of trouble with this bubblicious in flower. it's a yellowing followed by burning at the tips, but it doesn't start at the bottom. it's the "older" newer growth(if that makes sense).
hempy 100% perlite, reservoir holds about 16 ounces of water.

my feeding schedule is ej w/ micro day 1, dry day 2 and 3, day 4 ej no micro, dry day 5 and 6, water with plain water, repeat.
