600w: Bay 11, Green Crack, Martian Kush, Snowcap LA, and White Fire OG

It has been a while, since I have really even been on here. The day after Memorial Day some assholes broke into my house and stole a bunch of shit including all of my grow equipment and they cut 4 big ass plants down that were only about 3 weeks into flower like some idiots. They also got me for my laptop, PS4, crossbow, son's electric race track that I had bought him for X-Mas. The worse was they stole 3 watches and 1 of those watches were bought by my deceased parents. Anyways I had to do some thinking and I decided to give it another try. If my place gets broken into again, the alarm system I had put in will get them! Lol!
Anyways I ened up going with an Apollo 600w Ballast and cooltube hood with the attachment that spreads the light out nicely. I actually like it better than the Revolt ballast and the other hood that I had before. So I have a Bay 11 that has a skunky smell already in veg. I just hope that it is a female, or I am going to be very bummed. All my other plants are growing so slow in veg. The Martian Kush and Green Crack are about the same size with the snowcap la being smaller than both of them. The Wifi is the smallest of them all. It is probobaly going to end up growing like a 12/12 from seed, because it is so far behind the others. I will post some pics when I am about to put them into flower.

It has taken me a while to get shit going again, since I got robbed. But I finally put my plants into flower over 2 weeks ago. I believe that today is Day 17 of 12/12. In flower I have everything listed above with the addition of a GGG Grape Puff. It is pretty damn small though. My Green Crack has stretched into a 6' monster! Lol! The GC that I had going last run didn't stretch nearly as much as this pheno did. The Bay-11 is supposed to be a sativa I believe, but mine is staying short with hardly any stretch at all. It has visible buds all over it already though. The Martian Kush is looking pretty good. It isn't stretching much either. The Snowcap LA has leaves on her that are bigger than my hand. They are just huge. Some of the biggest leaves I have ever seen on a plant. Overall things are coming along nicely. I cannot wait until harvest gets here. I feel like it has been forever since I had a harvest to smoke on. My shit getting stolen really put me in a bind when it comes to bud to smoke. Anyways it is good to be back. I will update w/ pics at least once a week. Feel free to comment.

Update: Day 20 of 12/12

Here are some pics that I just took. I hope that you all like them.

The biggest buds belong to the Bay-11. I keep finding them and plucking them off. I only found 1 that has popped open. It had pollen in it, and I have a fan blowing that circulates, so I am going to have some seeds. Oh well, I am not the type of guy that pull hermies unless they are freaking everywhere. Plus I need all the weed that I can get to smoke on. I have 2 clones of my Bay-11 at my buddies crib. I plan on getting 1 of them back as long as the smoke is good. It is an extremely fast flowering strain. Faster than all of the other's that I have going.
The Martian Kush has some frost on her, and I just had to rub it to see what kind of smell she has. It wasn't nothing OG like at all right now. It was more of some type of fruity smell. I can't put my finger on it. It is still early though. The smell will definitely change as time passes. It should be interesting.

Good God..must respect to you for bouncing back after that robbery. I know you were fuckin pissed. Especially because those fuckin idiots obviously had no clue that they were ripping up premature bud.

Agreed. Sorry for the loss, but glad to see you
bouncing back with such nice plant structure! ;0)

I cannot begin to even explain how mad that I was about that whole situation. In a way, I am glad that I still haven't found out who did it. Because I would definitely be ready to ride on that piece of shit. My watch was more important to me then any of the other shit that got took. It is what it is though. I believe in karma, so I think they will get their's eventually. They still got me for a descent size lick. It is going to take me a while before I can replace the majority of the shit, if ever! I do agree that they were pretty damn stupid for stealing plants that had barely started flowering! I hope they enjoyed that headache! LOL!

I've got a green crack monster myself, this gal is well over 4 feet tall and I haven't even flipped her into 12/12 yet lol I think she's going into flower tomorrow. Took this pic like last week

My Green Crack is the one from the Humbolt Seed Organisation. I had grew one out during my last run and it didn't stretch nearly as bad as this one did. I am seriously running out of room. It is just about 6' tall. It is the biggest strain I have ever grown indoors. The worst part is all of my other strains are much shorter, so I can't raise my light up to much. The rest of the plants would suffer some if I did that. You better hope that your's doesn't stretch like mine has, because if it does you are probably going to run out of room. Start super cropping if you can. I tried to super crop mine, but the branches were too woody and just snapped. I would say my GC has stretched 3X the size it was when I put it into flower. Lol!

I don't think I'll run into a major issue, at least I hope not lol. I have a 4 x 4 grow tent there are 2 plants now but by tomorrow there will be 5 plants..the other plants are def not it's size I would say they range from 2-3 feet currently. If that gal gets to grow taller than 6 feet I will have some issues tho lol

Plants look really nice. I am curious how the ballast & kit is working out? I am planning on buying the same setup when I move inside. Thanks.

So far the new equipment has been working like a champ. I have no complaints at all yet. Lol! The ballast is quiet and stays pretty cool to the touch. Plus, the Apollo brand id pretty damn cheap compared to the Revolt ballast that I had previously. Hopefully it will last me at least a few years of continuous use. I will just have to wait and see how she holds up over time.

Shit is really starting to look good. The smell is really starting to get strong too. I had some company over and he instantly was like goddamn it smells good in here as soon as he stepped inside my crib. Lol! I just played it off that I just got finished smoking. Anyways I think the Green Crack is about finished stretching. She is only as tall as I am, and she is turning out to be the biggest plant that I have ever grown indoors. Lol! This was a complete surprise too! I am usually pretty good at keeping my canopy fairly even even with several different strains. I just didn't do to well this time. The GC still hasn't started producing any trichs yet either. The Bay-11 looks like it is about 5 weeks into flower with big buds and frost already there. I'm just guessing but she will probably be the first plant to get chopped this run. The Martian Kush is looking pretty damn impressive so far. It has some descent sized buds that are already formed along with a descent amount of trichs on her. She doesn't smell at all like an OG though. She has a more fruity type smell on her, but I am sure that will change as shit moves forward. I am looking forward to trying her out regardless. The SnowcapLa has these super thick stems with some fat buds forming the main colas. Not a lot of side branching going on with this one, but she is still interesting. The Wifi and Grape Puff were really small when I flipped to 12/12, so they are quite a ways behind the other strains. They are just now starting to form some buds on their branches. To only be on about Day 26 of 12/12, things are going pretty damn good. I have all of the plants in Fox Farms Ocean Forrest soil with a little bit of Miracle Grow mixed in there. I have been feeding them with Botanicare Pro Blend Flower nutes and some of their Cal/Mag. I have also been giving them some Green Potash with an NPK of 0-0-15. I give them 1 tablespoon to a gallon of water. I haven't seen any sort of issues with any of my plants thus far. I will post some pics later on today or tomorrow. Damn it is good to be back!

Update: Day 26 of 12/12
I just wanted to post some pics that I just took while the lights were off.

Thanks man! The Green Crack is huge but everything else is about average for me. The plants are in Fox Farms Ocean Forrest soil with a little Miracle Grow added into the mix. Everything seems to be liking it so far. I'm not going to lie, I am still pretty bitter about what happened but hey what the hell can you do but bounce back. Plus, I really have a passion for growing.

Bad news! I found seed pods in my buds on my Bay-11. I had found some male parts earlier in the grow, but I thought I plucked them all in time.Unfortunately I was wrong. I contribute this to light leaks. I am growing in a spare bedroom that has a window in it. The window has blinds that are closed shut. Then I have a dark brown shower curtain over top of the window along with a blanket. Even with all that there is still a small amount of light that gets through. I went ahead and ordered some Panda film to put over the window. Hopefully with just that I will eliminate my light leak. I took a couple clones off of my Bay-11 that are at my buddies crib vegging. I plan on keeping 1 of them for myself and letting my buddy keep the other one. I imagine that I will be able to grow it out better and without it herming on me next time. At least that is the plan.

So like I said I will have 1 Bay-11 clone for my next run, and I just started to germinate some seeds for my next run. I decided to go with 1 HSO Sour Diesel #2, 1 HSO Headband (Reg freebie with promo order), 1 Devil's Harvest Strawberry Sour Diesel, and 1 OG Raskal White Fire OG. Unfortunately only the Sour D #2 has germinated so far and it has been about 48 hours since I put them into wet paper towels. I don't have a very good feeling that the other 3 seeds are going to germinate. I still have 1 seed left of each one of these strain's, so I am hoping that I can get them to germinate for me. I really hate trying to figure out strains to replace the one's that I already decided on wanting to grow. Plus, I really hate when my seeds don't germinate. That is just $10-$20 a seed that goes down the drain without any chance of a return.

Have you thought about Trying to raise the shorter
Plants up to meet the top of the canopy or closer anyways .

Yeah I have used everything that I have handy to try to raise the smaller plants up to try to even shit out, but I ran out of things to use. I think it will be alright. It is still getting plenty of light from the looks of it. I finally started to see the first small signs of frost on the GC. Hopefully it starts to turn into a frost factory with a strong smell. That is my hope anyway. The one that I had growing last run smelled fantastic at about 30 days into flower. That was a different seed though.

I'm sorry to hear about the break in man. Glad to see ya bounce back, them weeds aren't gonna grow themselves.


The wifi is soooo bomb, I don't plan on getting rid of my cut anytime soon. Same goes for the grape puff. Two AMAZING strains
