Click to expand...
Me too bro with the twin i just removed the smallest one by pulling it out very carefully trying not to damage any of the small roots it only break the coco that day so the root was only around 5cms long i was kind of surprised it was that long in one day

I watered them yesterday and noticed the one i removed has grown a little bit so fingers crossed i got 2 for the price of one that way ill have 3 blue dreams been thinking i might keep one as the mother but as i have no clue what kind of phenotype it will be ill just take clones of all 3 and pick the best phenotype to keep growing i would think the twins would be the same phenotype but who knows never seen a twin seed before so that's all new to me

Happy to have you along for the ride ill be posting as much as i can even if not much changed just to keep a copy of this grow

Hey Brothers


Going to be putting the girls under a 250 watt Metal halide tomorrow try and boost the growth rate up a little T5 is too slow for me its only 64Watts so i don't blame them for not growing much

Apart from that all is good and ill post a up date tomorrow with the new lighting up

Now that I have the space I'm gonna be throwing my girls under strong light sooner than normal. Def wanna try and speed up the growth when growing from seed. Gonna have a some shelves in the veg tent for seedlings and 1gal pots and the bigger vegging plants on the floor. Looking good bro. I hate seedling stage :lol:

Yeah tell me about it I find all of seedling and veg mode soo boring but it's apart of life so I'll just put up with it once they are older and I can take clones from each and put the girls in flower it will be better because that way I'll always have plants in flower and plants in veg once both tents are up and running again can't wait also looking forward to the next grow bro you killed it this time


Also I find if you put the girls in bigger pots then normal and have them under. Stronger lighting the growth rate is heaps faster this is the first time I have tried the cups don't get me wrong they are good but I wish I started in 1 gallon pots again like when I did the jack herer and pineapple grow

Anyway bro thanks for the support

(Need some input please)

Plan one:

Vegging 18/6 400 Metal halide New Globe
Flower 2x600 Watt HPS
Tent 8x4 or 2.4-1.2-2.0
Plants will be main-lined and vegged for 8 weeks then flowered till finish

Pros
Higher Yield
better light coverage

Cons

A little more power
Harder area to cool
Longer Veg time
Tent takes up a lot of room


Plan two:
Vegging: 20/4 400 Metal Halide
Flowering: 1x1000HPS
Tent: 4x4 Or 1.2-1.2-2.0
Plants will be topped and LST and will be vegged for around 6 weeks and flowered to finish

Pro
Less over all time
less power
Easier to keep cool
Smaller tent

Con
Less Yield

And most likely more but i am so high right now i need to go lay down drinking and smoking is not a good mix anyway i need to go ill see you all tomorrow

Well you should already know which plan I like. Plan 1 lol I know it runs a lil more power but you just have a better spread of light with that one. 1000 in 4x4 is great too but you can have rotating sides in the flower tent. First 5 weeks on one 4x4 side then move them over to other then cycle in new plants from veg that way you always have something in flower. That's how I'm setting up my 5x10 flower tent but with 3 1000s. One of the lights tho will be be dedicated to a hydro beast or two :) the rest of the area will be soil. Everything's just about in order and will be ready to go with all these test beans. Can't wait to see what you go with

Shit bro moving up in the world 3x1000 did you need to rewire the house are you going to get a split system air-con installed to have full control other the weather in your grow area... ?

Yeah i know what plan is better and that last grow where i moved the first lot in to the flower tent for 4 weeks then added more later was awesome pulling every month was nice and it worked like a well oiled machine the only thing that sucked was trimming every month i hate trimming yeah ill just go with plan one that's the one i was going with anyway just wanted to see what others think

Anyway bro looking forward to the new grow your a lucky man with all the testers need to get on the other forums and get me some :)

Naw surprisingly the garage was wired for something like this. I wanna think the people who used to live here did pottery or arts and crafts type stuff. I'm not gonna need an a/c hopefully as the way I have the lights setup separate from the filter exhaust the lights will stay much cooler. Plus I have a fan in each corner so temps good. Right now it's very cool not cold so not gonna need a lot of the fans to run right now so it gonna be good and it won't actualky be running for another month anyway but the veg tent will have plenty. Very excited but gotta get on the ball

I know the trimming sucks but since I really don't do much of anything else it'll give me something to do and is apart of this lovely process I love doing so it'll be worth it. Me and Mrs will be happy and so will close family and friends.
