250 w hps stealth grow in cabinet

well found out i got junk clones today they are hermies! well i have taken all the balls off no pollen came out of any as far as i could tell so now im on the lookout! have grown hermies before with minimum balls and got no seeds so it can be done just more work! but next run i will do my random strain from outdoors to see if that goes hermie. i dont think i have light leaks i was in the cab with veg running and door shut and there was no lights so it is dark in there just so everyone knows it is not light leaks. just gotta know who to get ya clones from this was a new source and had different strains but i think ill stick to the tried and true. the purple afghans are staying shorter then the pineapple i noticed both smelling really stinky

Ahh that sucks.

ok here is the girls they are doing great besides the balls and bananas but i am vigilant! so hope you all like the pics! last the third Pic is pineapple and last is the purple afghan

Update so i think i won the hermie battle lol but who know havnt seen a single banana in 2 weeks! so i think i am in the clear for that also i have some yellowing leaves i know this but pineapple is done in 7-9 weeks i read here on the web somewhere so that could be why because the purple afghan is a 8-9 weeker and they are not yellowing like the pineapple so part of it i think is due to my nutrients not having enough N which i will fix next go around. these types of grows are about dialing it all it that is it once you have it you will be set. i think i might go with the pineapple strain as it seems to like the SOG the purple afghan didn't get tall they are just getting fat so depends on weight but by the pics it looks like pineapple takes the cake on THC production let me know what you all think we are bout 4 weeks in now! Pic 1 pineapple, Pic 2 Purple afghan, Pic 3 Purple afghan, Pic 4 Pineapple

Wow those are looking pretty nice man, I'm about 1-2 days from harvest and my plants had some yellowing early on to i believe the reason was ph lock out though, i flushed my medium and stopped adjusting the PH of the intake water and every thing corrected its self more less.

ya i dont ph water at all i just take from the faucet and mix nutes one watering then use reg water next time i water i use a tote when i water 6 at a time i water each plant individually then i put the rest of the water in the tote and tilt it back and forth waiting bout 15 secs in between tilts so the water fills up the containers and then drains before i tilt it back again

Have you checked the PH of your tap water? I know you said before that you have a few grows under your belt so i would assume you know the ph of what your using and that using your tap water works fine, but in some places the tap water can get pretty alkaline so you should probably check it out if you haven't before, my tap water sits at about 9.0.

my tap comes out around 7 remember i also have fish living in a tank and i have to keep them at a certain ph lol but with all that said im sure my ph could be down a bit and i can fix that with some more lime in the mix next time. also this is WELL water not tap water from a city. im not too worried about PH yet though because i am only going to do 7 week flowering periods and not in a hydro setup as i like a little earlier bud then most i dont want to be lazy as shit just want to feel good(no pain) if i wanted i could just flush every time i watered with water then soak in nutrients the next water time like i do now and it would keep the ph in good enough range to grow decent. im not looking for perfection here just looking to get an average yeild and such when i go hydro diff story as you are talking more of an investment

got my bubble cloner going first time using it so hope all goes well! here are some pics also got the plants another 4 in closer to hps so im now within 6 to 8 inch from the bulb. bought some grandmas unsulphured molasses today going to start feeding them that the next time they get plain water and will continue molasses until harvest every other watering

since the pineapple hasnt shown any bananas late into flowering i prob will keep that strain unless this random strain i am doing next run comes out better i like the height of the pineapple the bud formation is nice and thc production is better than the purple afghan i think.....can't wait for the next run puting in a second shelf with another 250w hps!!!!

i have root tips showing at day 4! woohoo my cloner works great! now the only thing is i need to keep em short till the other ones are done and i have bout 2 more weeks to go for them and if 7 or so of these have already shown roots the rest shouldnt be far behind! i give em all another week and they will be rooted i bet

was online so figured id stop by; so today i took off some bananas off of the purple afghans and the pineapples are starting to shed there fan leaves a sign they are ripening because i have been feeding half veg half flower nutes all grow because i started with just flower and they started to yellow then started using half and half i got them green again. hairs are rapidly turning on the pineapples and they are just starting to turn on the purple afghans will get some pictures up in a bit!

first pic is what i wish to achieve all around in my grow it is pineapple and looks yummy!

LOL if your plants end up being as tall as 2 bic lighters, you need to veg longer sorry bro

Its a micro grow noob, have you seen the grow space this guy is using? Looking good man loving seeing what you are pulling off in such a small space.

if i end up pulling 3 os off of a space less than 2 square feet that is good as that is .36 gram per watt which is do able easily. also this is my first run in this cab adding another 250w now i know i can cool it and i should be pulling atleast 6 os off a space that is like 2.5 feet squared because my flower chamber is 24" by 17.5" by 46" adding a shelf to make two flower chambers measuring 24"by17.5"by22" adding smaller pots with more plants per shelf and hope to pull a half pund off a grow in a space of about 8 cubic feet total little more maybe dont want to do math right and 250w light don't penetrate to far so big plants and worth it plus i dont have a veg space so wasting time to veg would lose time for harvesting as weeks of veg take away from weeks of flower unless you have the two chambers veg and flower i have a mother space and enough space to clone thats is and look at the thread if you want but you are trolling a micro/cabinet section of this site expect small plants in that type of grow ill let ya know the official weight in the end. also trying to find the right strain too man look at this pic this is about 2.5 bic lighters tall and all bud buddy!

oh sorry you already did see it lol anywho that is one dank stick of weed could get a half o off it maybe if it fattens more, like i said sec ago will get official weight in the end

Do you only have access to a HPS light? Or do you have MH access? MH is better for keeping your plants short, as red light promotes stem growth and stretchy growth; when compared to blue light. Sweet setup though, <3 stealth grows!

guess i dont need a MH to keep em short man they stayed short lol

comparing the pot sizes to the plant size and to the size of the light, its hard for me to believe he couldnt of vegged longer. look at that picture sober and tell me im not right u dumb son of a bitch. watch who u call a noob. me--> 8===D~~ <--you
