Club 600

anyone ever grown KC Brazil before? or even smoked it? was a freebie. i'm trying to figure it out but not getting too far. i don't know much about growing, first to admit that.
the mother is nice and bushy, about 2.5 months old and the 3 flowering daughters appear to be straight up lollipoped from birth. they are under a ton of cfls (over 400 actual watts) til i order that 600 next week, about 2 or 3 weeks into flowering, and they seem to be making the cola at the top already and filling in fairly well, in a lollipop kinda way. when i blast that hps on them will they sprout taller or fill in? like i said i know just a tiny bit about growing but i really wanna learn and be like you guys, my heros


Bass did your car get fixed buddy?

Nice plants! It looks like some will fill in but not all of them. They will grow bigger and faster! Looks like the stretch is over, the lights are quite a ways away for CFL growing so the nodes are spaced widely. You'll be just fine, they will grow nice buds when you get that 600 in there. In the mean time you may consider looking into super cropping and LST to keep that canopy more even. You will be rewarded!

CFL's do best when they're placed < 4" from the canopy of the plant. After 4" the lights are not very efficient for flowering. Good luck with your new 600!

Well club 6ers. I'm trying to figure out what kind of new bulb to get for my digital and I've been reading threads n shit... I was set on a Ushio but I use a MH to veg and I guess the extra blue in the super bulbs doesn't matter to me too much.

My last grow turned out great, 13oz off of 4 plants and it was as good as I'd ever want it to be. The bulb I used was a cheap chinese HPS, or whatever it was, it came with my hood/ballast. I'm not even sure I need a new bulb yet, as this one only has 3 months of use on it but I figured I should get a new one since it is a cheapy bulb.

I found some GE lucalox (sp?) for $20... I'm wondering if that would be the same as the generic bulb I used last time?

Last of all, what are you guys using? Have you noticed a serious improvement from a cheap to an expensive bulb?

Sorry for rambling..

I want some of that Sugar Punch!

oh hey shwagbag (love your avatar) those are in the vegging station LOL as the mrs calls it. they actually get burned because i keep the cfls right on them i don't think it hurts them and thata way i know they are close.

those nodes are about the spaciest ever aren't they? our mouths drop open every day when we open the closet door to look in.

thanks for the ideas. i'm thinking we will def be doing something to train the girls following behind. i am cloning the heck outta mom cause she is so hardy. i can't help but wonder what the smoke will be like. can find much info on it. bad brains/trainwreck mixture i think something said. idk, i'm not much up on the names and strains unfortunately, YET

i can't wait to get the 600 *gushes like a little girl*

You're going to get that spacing with CFL's, those will turn out great though as long as you keep doing what you're doing. That's awesome dude, you're going to love your 600 baaaaaaaad.

Greetings to the New Members and you Old Codgers Too. lol.. Just got back from the grow store with a buddy, convinced him to go with 600's after he saw my current grow. The grow shop owner always kicks me back a little something on my next visit. I think i have helped him sell at least 12 lumatek ballast's. Got a sweet House and Garden Hoodie also. Love that place

Hope everyone is having a Stoney Friday Night.

Did someone say we need Party Music?

Yep, ur missin out...

It's a hash night and MW3

@mysunnyboy, yeah I got the car running. I cheated and took it to the shop.

I bought a speed bully and turned down the exhaust fan using it and it raised the temp a few degrees, and way lowered the noise. I am hoping the rh will rise as well. I have rh from 28-33% normally, and this is veg. I added a 5 gallon bucket of water in front of the tower fan that raised the rh to 39%. I am hoping the slower exhaust speed will raise it to at least 45% The temps were 68-73* during lights on, and it went to 75 with the fan set about 3/4 on the dial. Too bad it uses the same power even with lower fan speed, but at least it is quiet!!

I thought I was gonna get a lot of stretch using a 600 hps to veg, but actually I think they are the most compact I have had. I kept the light really close this time as I was using a vented hood for the first time though.

mmm,that hash looks so good right now.

I have a speed control on my exhaust fan also set at about 75%. I run a small heater too, my temps are about 72-75 with 45% humidity. If i run my fans full blast it gets too cold. My tent is in a detached garage so it stays cold as hell out there in the winter.

@ Seedless - You're right, he's all muscle and huge. Peanut does look a lot like him though, coloring and what not are spot on.


I'll see if I can get them to send me a current pic of him next to something for size comparison. He is hands down the biggest dog I've ever been in the company of, just amazing how much of a gentle giant he is.


There is some nice pr0n today, love that hash.

Well we are poor and cant afford much heat...lol. So the house is 59-61* at night and as high as 67* during the day, so it is easy to cool the tent. The tent actually gets to 59-62* at night which is too ow, but they seem to be growing really fast none the less. I was using my shed, by the heater drove the smud ( local utility) sky high!!

are those speed controls 3 speed or totally variable? The store said 3 speed, but it just turns and doesnt click like set speeds if that makes sense.....


***EDIT*** after the lower fan speed humidity is at an all time high of 46% at 75*....finally the conditions I was hoping for

Mine is totally variable. That damn heater is like 1100 watts on full blast almost as much as my two lights.

Very nice manyclouds but they don't look finished yet, at least not to me. I'm guessing another couple/few weeks.

Totally agreed, my high ass didnt count the days they are 51 days into flowering = 7.2 weeks. Im extremely patient being that I need every gram possible to smoke and make hash for cooking.

My heater is 1500 watts and the de-humidifier needed in the shed pulls around 1300 watts, so no more winter time shed use for me.
Does your garage have insulation, or anything on the big door to help slow down the outside temps?

Hey ManyClouds, very nice girls there. I do have to agree with Heads Up and I think your probably looking at closer to 70 days on her. I think WW is a 9 to 10 week strain normally anyway but not sure. I think the last thing you'd want to do is harvest early. I assure you you'll not be happy. That last week or so makes all the difference in quality and weight, but most important, quality. Hang in there man, your doing great and just about there.

Edit. Oh and hey bassman. Glad you liked that documentary and I hope you other dog guys go back and check it out. There's another one out there that I get confused with this one but it uses a test that shows how dogs communicate with other dogs using their tails. They placed the dog in a small stall which had a camera right over top of the dog. Then they would introduce things to the dog that would excite the dog in either a good or bad way and they noticed that when a dog is riled and aggressive, his tail swings more to one side than the other, and vise versa when the dog is happy, showing that a wagging tail is not always a sign of being happy. Now I'm probably going to get some flack for this but this is why I'm totally against docking tails, as well as cropping ears. These two practices serve no beneficial purpose for dogs other than for dog fighting. In fact it's purposefully disabling them in ways. If a dog with no tail can't communicate to another dog, well, he can't communicate! He, or she, has a disability that renders them vulnerable, IMO. Please, pro dockers and croppers, don't come down on me too hard. Besides, why anyone would want to have such an intimate view of their dogs anus, all the time, is beyond me.

I grow Black Widow (similar to WW)... I am considering going up to 11 weeks this time. I cut at 9 last time, too early for sure.
