Super trippy.. So coated its hard to describe.

I'll have to show better pics of the trichs at harvest!

Nice thread man...Subbed up for this one

Hmmmmm.... Yeah RIU server must be messed... I chopped 12 days ago.. that stinks. all those pics are gone I don't really feel like putting them back up

Anyway had to take them outta the jars today so I weighed it at 220g... after dipping into it pretty heavy this week.. so it might have been like 230 if i didn't touch it? That's all flower.. no trim in that math..

250w doing work! I'm set on meds for a bit now! Stuff is great, definitely headstash.

Picked up my 250w system the other day.

Not setting it up quite yet, but I'm gonna pick up a 250w CMH.

At least repost one juice harvest shot!

Wow, great yield. Bummer about the data loss

Love the grow and the fact that you did this all under a 250w makes it even more badass. I'm sorry if I missed it through the pages but what kind / size of grow tent do you have there? Lookin forward to a stealth tent grow myself down the road....I just hope I can get my girls looking as good as yours.

I'm pretty sure it's a Growlab GL60. 2x2 footprint, 5'3" tall. Best lights for it I've found are a 2ft 8 tube T5 or 250w HPS/CMH. I'm sure there are leds that would work too, but I'm not too familiar with those.

That's friggin sweet b/c I found 'em for sale @ less than $100 online which is well within my budget. I was looking at some of those secret jardins and they're just too damned expensive. Nice to see a fat yield out of a relatively modest size tent.

Yep 2x2x5 (5.3ft) as described in the title




Just planted some Pineapple Express seeds in a clean tent.. Dusted the shit out of my tent, pulled it out, remounted electronics etc... I'm going to the hydro store to look at new reflectors, going to upgrade my inline fan hopefully to a can fan or vortex 6 inch.... then also swap out the carbon filter with a 6 incher.

One of the pineapple express seeds had an inch long taproot, the other looked cracked right down the middle... Either its a dead seed or it JUST cracked 2 days into germination... Either way, I planted them both and germed ANOTHER seed just in case #2 doesn't come through the soil.. I will have a backup seed

Good action there Verde, pineapple express is a fine strain...picked up a bit from a local dispensary last october and it did not disappoint. Can't wait to get my own tent up and running so I can contribute a journal of my own. All I know is I couldn't possibly do any worse than I did on my last grow a ways back =]

Did that 4" filter & fan combo not workout well? I hear the 6" vortex fans can be quite effective but very noisy...not so sure about the noise level on the can fans tho. I would think for a 250w that a 4" high quality fan / filter combo would do the trick but I've never grown in an enclosed environment so I couldn't say for sure.

Well it happened - I upgraded...

Sorry guys, moving on up to a 400w.... I kind of figured out I can do it, just required some extra room.

I was super tired of my crappy 250w hood, so I went to the store to look for new hoods only to find the 6 inch reflectors were about 23 inches across with the flanges...

SO I bought a GL80, it's 2'7x2'7x5'11... It's a serious tent! Has windows on the front of it and all.

I'm hooking up a 400w Hortilux with a Super Sun II reflector, galaxy 400w ballast, 6 inch 370cfm inline fan, 400cfm Phresh Filter, and a fan controller... 370cfm will probably be too much for a 400w but I figured the CF is rated for 400, and I'll just put a fan controller on it

The first pineapple express came through the soil today.. I'll call it day 1 when they're both through the soil... I had to plant a newly germenated seed last night as the other one never produced a tap root. The new seed germinated in 20 hours with an inch long tap root , so it should be coming through next!

Wish me luck folks! I had to push some furniture around for the extra 7inches, but I think it will be worth it...

Thoughts?

Looking snazzy, dude. I like the GrowLab tents, great quality.

Good luck. Should be in for a treat.

this is two under scrog under 250w... 2x2x5'3


what will happen with 400w...2'7x2'7x5.3? :O


(250w) 30500 lumens vs (400w)55000 lumens

Nope no co2... not a sealed enviornment..

I do two plants because its easy, and what fit best under the 250w... I might move up to three after this Pineapple express run but we will see.. I plan to just veg big..

i chopped around 72 days? strain is reserva privada headband..

& i water with 1gal water jugs

Woot woot! Upgrading is always a good thing. Considering the weight you pull with a 250 I can't wait to see what you do with a 400. So how long till a 600 or 1kW?

Questions about last grow: What size pots were used? How much water per pot? How Often did you Water? How many days did you vegetate your plants, and how many days did u flower your plants?


I have been accustomed to 3 gal pots, in particular black Maxipots. I use a round-up 1 gallon chemical sprayer to water my plants. The sprayer has a long wand with an adjustable brass tip that exerts a fine mist. I water my plants every 2-4 days with about 1/2 gallon per 3 gallon pot.

Right


But hey, so this GL80's vent holes seem to be about 5 inches.... I cant stuff the 6 inch ducting in there, for the outtake... I'm hanging my fan inside the tent, and blowing air through the hood and out the tent.

I guess I have to get a 6 inch to 4 inch steel fitting, and I have to stick it up into that vent hole to downconvert to 4 inch, and then buy some 4 inch ducting to route the air out of the tent?

Am I looking at problems going from 6 inch to 4 right at the exhaust, or should I try to figure out some other way?
