Hello friends,
It has been too long, back at school and starting up my next grow now.

Setup-
veg-
t5 6 bulb full 6500k spectrum
and thats it!
flower-
undecided! currently my electricity company is screwing me big time so i am unsure if i will be using my 1000w from last grow or trying to trade for a 600.
will also be using a vortex exhaust fan and carbon filter at some point.


SEEDDSS!!

3x purple erkle x GDP
2x kryptonite-green crack x GDP
possibly a few clones of tahoe og

might start more seeds to up my female chances.

no pictures as of tonight! but they are mere babies at this time. not missin much.

I'm going to try and shut my brain off and sleep good night RIU

ahhh finally got some batteries for my camera and just in time for the real start of the show!
so far all but one have shown female pre flowers i think still shakey on one.

very happy with how my ratio turned out seen as last grow only 1 out of 5 normal seeds turned male.

pictures!!

Beauties! would love to give you some love but this c@cksucker says i have to wait 24 hours before spreading some positive. hope you update as you go! I would trade the 1000 for a 600 if you can should rock those 5 plants nicely without using as much juice and less heat. good luck!

good to see ya cacamal, it is actually a 600 i just wasnt sure if i would have the 600 by the time i needed it. these bitches are takin off too!

they are growing like someone shoved roids up their asses.
so far 3 are def female and the other 2 look like they are gunna show any day now.

i will be doing many updates hopefully if school doesnt take up too much of my life like it usually does. just changed my major so i got some catching up to do.

hope you all have a great day. and i'm not a douche, throw up some pics of your plants or just shout out to say hey. whatever it is a post is always appreciated!

Now going bro. In the pics it looks like your using LST but then I see the Scrog.....Do you use both? Or do you use use LST till they hit the screen? How high do you have your screen also? Everything is looking good man! Keep it up.

So is this your 3rd grow or 3rd time growing PExGDP? If you have grown it b4 how did ya like it? If not what did ya grow before? They sure are lookin good! So do you not trim anything below the screen? Just LST them till the reach the screen? Did you use this method on your last grow? I like it!!

its my 3rd grow total, first running these strains, cux i got them in the middle of my last grow from a seasoned outdoor grower up here in norcal.
you can see my second grow if you click on my link in signature. i had a fuck ton of diff strains, but my favorite was the cheese quake and power skunk.
nope no trimming till they hit the screen, unless some of the big water leaves get crazy on me. and no i wish i had done it like this last year woulda been wayyyy better. i just grew normal last year with some topping and some lst.
getting watered with nutes today! yum yum

Nice. I will have to read your other grow. I really like your idea of using both. Do you olny use the LST on the branches from the main stem then once they hit the screen trim n e thing under the screen from that branch? I know thats a little more in depth but I just really like that set up. Im going to have to try it out next grow. keep us up to date and keep the pics comin! And can we get a few pics of how they look under the screen? Like bround level? Thanks again for bring'n us along for the ride!

yah it was just a go for it grow lol. yah it seems to be working out really well and for mainly indicas they are loving the lst. and yah ill prolly cut the bottom stuff soon once then take all the bottom stuff once they are in their final place in the net. and no worries about indepthness conversations are good. and learning always helps. ill take some tonight of under the scrog.

N e pic's of under the screen mcgyver? Also how are those t5 lights doing for your veg? Is that what you always use to veg? I have been thinking about changing over to use t5's for clones and veg.

not yet but i promise soon, they are reeallly starting to bush up now. i think lst + scrog will work out real good.

i used the t5 for the first id say month of veg till my roomate took his back. but they are very nice i like them for starters.

Hey Mcyger! Havnt got an update it a few days. How they doing? Did those other 2 show what sex they are yet? Im sure you busy with school. Man I wish I would have went to college when I got out of high school. Now I keep thinking if I should go back to school so I can get a better job. Hang in there man it will be worth it! Are you learing anything about Horticulture? I think if anything Im going to take a few classes on that to beef up my growing info.

Also Did you decide to go ahead and use your 600w for flower? I love the 600's but Im going to be switchn to LED next grow, see what they can do. Keep us it the loop! Hope all is good!

hey scrog yah sorry been crazy busy with school, and right now ive got probably the 3rd worst hangover ever. but it happens.
yah i gotta say i see why people say college is when you get your crazy out.
I took a plant and soil science class that actually helped me to learn all about plant hormones and stuff. really interesting i was a bio major w/ an option in plant sciences. but it was ridiculously hard so i've always been good at drawing. so i switched to applied computer graphics.

yah of course im goin with the 600, i use it for later veg and flower. ive seen what leds usually produce and i gotta say its not very impressive unless your using a big panel. will post pics when my lights on.

and sadly im now 90% sure that both the unsexed ones are males, cuz the pre flowers look different than on the other 3.
but one of my girls is taking off crazy almost reaching the sreen with lower nodes
