250 Watt MH Grow with *PICS*

thanks guys i have been doing alot of research on the mh flowering most say a slightly lower yeild but better quality! im hooked up with the 400 watt mh for $50 so im using them all the way through next time!! i didnt think they caused strech i will just keep them really cool so i can keep them close!

ps all the "older dudes" say mh is great for flowering ,who has the best nuggs???old heads, they know what they are doing! i would be fine giving up an oz or two for higher quality!~

Wow, that's great news... all I have at this point is one 400w MH... I plan to use it for the whole grow, most likely get an HPS conversion bulb for the flowering cycle so it gets more red spectrum though... :leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf:

thats what ive heard lots of trich production but the bulbs have very little effective range so you need a bunch of them or you could move it around alot??

Well, here is a shot of my Crystally White Widows, 7 weeks in, under two 400 watt MH.





Pretty crazy with the trichs man!!! My regular plants,nonwidow, bagseeds last round were all triched out also. MH is where its at with flowering. Use gravity from humbolt county and it helps make the buds denser. MH makes the buds a little fluffy if the lights too far. GOOD LUCK MAN!
 
Im going to have them behind a peice of glass so the plants cag get close as hell! I will have a fan pulling the heat out of the chamber where the bulb is, gonna be great! Cfls and mh 4 life!!
 
The trich production is crazy im building now for the mh chamber!!

Back to my journal......:shock:

I got a lot of shit going on with the grows. I have 5 seedlings in solo cups and three germinated seeds in peat pucks waiting to sprout. I also transplanted the veg plant tied it down some more. In the flower box things are going well. I noticed some male parts on plant #1 I believe :cry: I'm waiting patiently to see some amber trichomes on her so I can harvest with as little damage done by the random male parts. I am going to snap some pics tomorrow so check back. Happy growing :peace:

Funny you should ask, I just cut her down. I saw a few amber trichs so I knew it was her time. It weighed 13 grams wet so I'm not expecting that much. I'll get some pics up later tonight
 
She was 12/12 from seed and today marked 10 weeks since she sprouted. I forgot to mark the first day I noticed pistils...:roll:
 
i always start counting flowering weeks after the plant has really established flower mode! check out this pic they say 8-10 weeks from the point at the begining of the chart! the whole plant doesnt get covered with pistils the first morning after 12/12 starts so i count weeks when the majority of the plant looks like the begining of the pic! get it?? hard to explain...in short it takes plants a few weeks to make the switch then really start flowering!

I think that's an excellent point winkdogg. I agree. ;-)
 
Yeah i know if i would have cut down my plants 8 weeks after the lights went 12-12 i would have gotten crapola--hahaha more like 14 weeks for me!

Nice trim job!!! Alot of people slack on trimming :) you could have let that go a bit longer but its all part of growing ..smoke that in a week or two then compare it with nugs that are left on longer see what works for you i left some on really long to get some bed time weed! The stuff i chopped earlier is better for the daytime less heavy!
