hehe. gotta be on the ball lad.

I recommended BioNova and Plagron, both good organic nutes. Oh, and BAC Schimmels as well (fungus basically - mycorrhizae) or something along those lines.


Well Wally, if everyone could get their flights sorted I am sure we could have a 600 "getogether" in the Dam. No one will even say boo to you lighting up a joint (providing you are in the right place!!) In fact, I invite you all to Amsterdam!!!

If there was a lot of interest I am sure there could be a good deal arranged with an airline.
I'm always up for an extra Dam trip, i will be arranging my annual trip for July/August next year straight after xmas but if i can squeeze an extra 1 in like last year happy dayz

DST, looking at your pics of your grow space, I see the filter is sitting on the floor surrounded by your girls. I seem to remember you saying it reeks in your room at the moment. I'm wondering if your filter is working to its capacity. The reason I say that, I have my sensor from my wireless thermometer hanging at canopy level. My lights are out right now but I have a dehumidifier running 24/0 in my room. It's seventy five degrees in there with relative humidity of sixty five percent and that is with my dehumidifier running and set at forty five percent. I'm wondering if you filter is too wet to do much good sitting there surrounded with plants that are constantly giving off moisture?

Wally, very nice, they look really happy.

I decided to transplant my babies before I went away for the holiday. They were in half gallon grow bags so I cut the bottom third of the bag off and dropped it into a two gallon smart pot for a bit more room for their last couple of weeks of vegging to give them more room to grow. I used some liquid karma and a couple of drops of superthrive and some mycorrhizae to water them into their new homes. The root system looks great, nicely developed and very white. I just checked on them and took a couple of pics. No transplant shock at all. The leaves are all sticking straight out trying to soak up the light, I'm pleased.

Forever the observant one HeadsUp. I think you are 100% right which is why I am going to see about changing my set up slightly next run.

So light tower will be connected to ducting that will bring in cold air from outside. What I have yet to decide is where I am going to hang the carbon filter from the roof. I will then attach that to the top of the tower with ducting and then have the inline draw from there and out - we shall see. I previously had it set up like this and becuase the air that was being pulled out wasn't actually in the flower room the air didn't smell. No matter what, something is going ot change.

Nice lookin buds DST.

I don't think anybody can ever argue that this thread moves fast. I figured I'd sit down for a minute to catch up before showering and going to pick up some soil so I can transplant my mothers and mothers-to-be into 3gal pots and here I am a little over 30 minutes later, finally at the end. Lot's of good stuff going on with everyone in here and some nice bud porn.

Glad I stopped in, got me loling over the gang signs and what not.

Only update I have from my garden is that I installed some eye hooks in a few spots and tied back the Haze auto and the Raspberry Cough last night and I topped one of the Headband seedlings using 'uncle ben's' method for 4 tops. Never done it that way before but I figured since I've got so many plants and clones going now, I can afford to mess one plant up. Hopefully I didn't mess up but, it won't be the end of the world if I did.
I topped a couple of the Afghan clones too as they're all showing new growth now and a couple of them were shooting up all of a sudden.

I'm still not convinced the plants on the shelves aren't too far from the lights. It just seems really far. The room is 5' in diameter so it's 30" from the center of the bulb to the wall and the plants are in 1 gal pots sitting on 8" shelves. This makes the stem of the plant about 26" from the center of the bulb. I know the plants should start leaning towards the lights just like the Raspberry did but they haven't started doing that yet.

I considered putting in 10" or 12" shelves but that will make it even harder to get around in there than it already is. What do you guys think? Am I going to end up with air buds from the plants on the shelves due to them being that far away? That's my biggest concern.

Does anyone use botanicare's pure blend pro line of nutrients? I seem to recall reading in one of my bibles that botanicare is supposed to be really good for a sativa grow. Anyway I bought a sample pack last year that included pure blend pro grow and bloom and liquid karma. I started giving casey jones and headband some grow a few days ago. What I did not realize is that the pure blend pro line is organic, no mineral salts to harm your girls.

Anyone?

This is a chart that sombody posted, nt sure if it was this thread oe another but I liked it so I saved it. I know what's on paper can be very diferent from real experience but I don't have any yet with the 600 so all I can go by is what this says and what you guys that have a few grows under their belts with a 600 say.

Dez, supposedly from the charts I've seen for lighting with a six hundred, there is no loss of lumens up to a foot away. I forget the percentage of the drop from two feet away but it's less than half the lumens, if I remember correctly you lose about a third of the lighting. All I know is wherever I put my cheapo light sensor, everything pegs out at over two thousand lumens and if I also remember correctly about that, two thousand is the number recommended that your plants receive...minimum.

I have a cheapo light meter too only mine doesn't say if it's measuring lumens, lux or foot candles. Before I ever had any plants in the room I held it at the height that would be top of pot for both levels of shelves and around the floor and it was measuring anywhere from 7-10 out of 10. I had done the same thing when the light was still over the table and it was pegged out at 10 everywhere except in the far corners where it was a 7. This was with the light about 24" from the table.
The place I'm about to go get my soil from sells the same meter so I'll read the package to see what exactly it's measuring, if it even says.

Thanks for the response HU.
