11 litre pots, canna pro plus soil, hesi nutes, 250W hps, DR60 tent

Subbed, really looking forward to seeing this!

Nice I'm in
I'll be doing this in 7 days

no mate, homebase sell it as garden trellis. its the same width as the tent, 60cm,so was perfect and its about 80cm long, so i just bent it over and it fits in pretty good and then just use good old trusty gaffa tape to keep it in place

might have to pop down to homebase it will fit im my dr80 for my next grow as soon as my white widow and wonder woman finish then im on to swiss cheese for scrog

just ordered from attitude today, there is a load of seeds en route of which 1 is white widow. what size is your white widow and how big will she be when shes finished?

my white widow is 6 1/2 weeks in flower she is about 2 1/2 foot tall she is growing in a dwc bucket she has been topped so i got 4 fat colas also got her from the tude she was seedsman white widow also clones very easy dont thinks she will grow any bigger just fating up her buds

Man you're in luck, i'm growing the exact same strain as you (Barneys blue cheese) so if u wanna see what ur plants will look like in a few weeks hit up my thread i'm also in soil under a 250w hps so i think we may have similar results its a beautiful and very tolerant strain so have fun !

nice one datasafe. ive got greenhouse seeds white widow and i'll probably be growing that next, only 1 seed mind, but cant go wrong with some good old WW

sensistan, my last (and first!! lol) grow was barneys blue cheese under the 250W, but i'll be sure to pop over and check out your thread

Any new pics schmoker....

not yet buddy, but will get some snapped on the weekend when they are 3 weeks old. they are growing rapidly "like weeds" lol

ive just got them up to 1/3 strength nutes. hesi TNT (nitrogen) is a cunt, it's super strong, burns them so easily that i doubt i will get past 1/2 strength nutes before they get into flower.
every 3rd watering they are getting just water and blackstrap molasses

i think i will probably flip them to 12/12 some point next week, around 3.5 weeks / 4 weeks old as they are starting to hit my screen now, so with the stretch over the 2 weeks following flower i should be able to fill the screen quite nicely (i hope anyway! lol)

Why not veg them for the first few weeks in the screen and really fill that baby out?

WEEK 3



and view from the screen




the plant at the front is going to its new owner tomorrow, he will be putting her under his 400w alongside his kushberry, so thankfully i will have the much needed space to start filling the screen.
I think 1 more week of veg is all i will need and then its time to hit 12 / 12....we will see

i have a lumatek ballast and only have a HPS bulb here. ive been thinking i should definately get another one incase this one went bang. does anyone have opinions on what i should carry as a spare? i can get a MH as my ballast will power it. the dual spectrum i must say appeals the most, as if the HPS went and i only had a MH during flower i would have to buy another, whereas the dual covers that angle and would give me more blue then i currently get. chime in as you want to


one thing i have noticed this grow regarding the soil. my first grow i used plagron light mix which when dry went really dry and would crack like a dried lake bottom and was very difficult to get it to take water even using a fork to grate the surface. this canna pro plus doesnt have perlite i notice, but when its dry you pour water on and it absorbs it so easily, much less goes down the side of the pot.

not sure if im doing this journal right as havent read many others, but feel free to chip in and ask away anything you want.
im off to make a big fat joint, it's sunday, its fucking hot, and ive done all my chores for the day...now its time to get baked!

enjoy the weekend fellas

cool, subbed

your plants are looking good i would get a spare hps bulb as thats what your using if you had a bigger light you could get a growlux bulb it does both spectrums have you tried plagron batmix soil little more pricey than plagron light mix but ive think its worth it ive used it from seed as it feeds for 6 weeks then i repot befor flowing and it should see u right though without having to add many nutes

Yo, looking good!

So you'll have a cheese and bc left, right?

Your leaves are nice and fat, mine seen skinny in comparison, kb is 70/30 indica so it should have similar traits.

hey datasafe, havent tried the batmix, i did think about going down the route of a loaded soil but in the end i prefered the idea doing it myself .
it was a hard choice even taking the canna on, as i was happy with the light-mix, but to water this is a pleasure when its dry. will see what the end result is when all is said and done and im sitting back smoking some of the final product lol

yup, thats the plan, 1 big buddha cheese and a barneys farm blue cheese.

so, the blue cheese at the front has now gone.....unfortunately not to a warm 400w light, but instead to the bottom of a dustbin lol

however, now finally have the much needed space to start filling the screen out...here is what it looks like at the moment

and from the front, this is all the piddly space i have left before its time to go upwards lol
