This is my first 250W club post.
I have 2 AK47s under a 250W HPS.

Here are some pics of them after 6 weeks of flowering. ( I believe they are under developed for 6 weeks). The first two are from lady#1 and the other two are lady#2.

charas...
its rubbed off alive plants.... its thc oil that just develops on the leaves instead of buds....
in the himalays due to the altitude and temp the plants release this oil to protect itself....this oil is charas...
the main difference b/w hash an charas is that the plants in the case of charas is alive.... v gently rub the leaves by hand and get a very sticky black resin... this is then packed into plastic and left in the sun 4 a few days....
smoked just like hash but the taste is so sewwt it makes our mouth water with each drag.... its also very smooth so u will never end up coughing....
the proper way of smoking charas is in a chilum....

cheers

yea im use CFL's to vegg but im think of just using my MH now that i find the both pull the same energy if there the same wattage!! for some reason i thought cfl's were less expensive no matter the wattage but people tell me its the same and im still not sure...:dunce:

Watts is watts. I used 6 cfl's in addition to the 250 w. I'm running around 500+ total I think. The HID's take more watts heating up.

Yeah, it's like whatever works for you is good. I used cfl's to veg the grow I'm just finishing now. I just got a combo so the ballast, hood, etc works for both bulbs. I can just change the light bulb and I go from mh to hps or visa versa.

right now i've got 4 plants flowering under a 250W hps in a cool tube, and it's going great. i guess i could maybe fit one more under there but no more than that.

If you're planning vegging your clones for 2 months, you should also think if you got the space to grow plants that big. I mean that a plant in veg for a couple of months, it is big enough...and then it's gonna at least double at size during flowering. As for the light i would use an MH bulb. If you're thinking cfls, you're going to need a lot of them, especially if you're vegging more than one plant.

As for the clones, it's absolutely your decision to make, about when to flower them. Clones also inherit the age of the plant they were taken off, thus you can flower then as soon as they root. But of course it's better to veg them for some time...

wow that's is a excellent yield:leaf:. what size pots did you use? and did you top etc.?
Click to expand...
Had them in 4 gallon pots,and only topped one to see the diffrence.The picture is of the one i topped.You can't really tell but the top of the plant is really 4 huge colas.Just the 4 huge colas gave me 2oz.Holland secret nutes and DWC with a nute temp of 65 degrees.I really think that the cool nute solution was one of the biggest reasons for the amount i got.My roots where ghost white and transparent.None where brown or nasty looking.Getting ready to fire uo 4 Fem. White Berry from attitude.:fire:

Can someone please tell my about how far away to keep my 250 w mh (fan blowing on it) from seedlings. They are in a SH Bubbleponics unit and are just 5 days old. I know about the hand heat test but because these are so young is it okay to use it. I dont want it to far away but I sure dont want to burn them. I had my 250 w hps within 5"-6" at flowering.
