Grow #3 White Widow X Big Bud; Closet Veg...

So I'm guessing I have roughly 3 to 5 weeks to go before I harvest this grow. I figure it's time to start planning my next grow and get the seeds to germ'n. This will be my last true CFL grow as my new setup should be here by monday. Going to have a bigger tent and new light source, will be 4' x 4' x 6'6" and a 400 watt HPS digital dimmable balast. Will be trying a new method 2 plant Scrog, and since I have them 2 Bubblelicious "Autoflowers". Won't hold my breath on the auto part as the last ones didn't, Nirvana has some good strains for photo's but after my Blue Mystic bomb, never again.
Decided to go scrog eh TX? That seems to be the theme recently. Good luck with the new setup. If you get all your supplies before your current grow is finished be sure to set that tent up and run the lights, exhaust, timer etc etc as you would. I think you know I just setup my 600w hps tent... It was a bitch to dial in, especially with the heat issues, but once I got it right it has been a major factor in taking some stress away... Now I just have to concern myself with the girls. Which is how it should be. (The tent is so much easier to adjust when empty as well.)

Today was a day to get back to nature, yes I went to the Secret Garden with camera in toe. These 3 ladies have been outdoors for 10 weeks.

View attachment 2307317View attachment 2307318View attachment 2307319View attachment 2307320 This is the big girl, she is 6ft tall sativa and has pistols poppin but no buds forming yet.

All 3 of these plants were cloned from plants I have flowered and havested from my indoor grow this summer. The first and third sets of pic's are clones from a sativa bag seed that became my tent monster. The second set of pic's is from another bag seed lady. They have been fed Fox Farm Open Sesame while in veg and since pistols appeared Fox Farm Cha Ching.
Cool Beans Tx, They look great. if I haven't said it yet I just want to point out how jealous I am that I don't have a place outdoors to plant. I think it is cool that all your outdoor girls are clones of your indoor ones,. Great for comparisons. I'm amazed how well that one that was munched on by the deer has recovered.

Thanx Amaximus, it has been fun growing and the rewards are fantastic. I have wanted to try a scrog for sometime now and after watching brother Dawg I decided it was time. So I got my new setup in place and testing things out, I already know I'm going to need a bigger fan to help keep it cool but that will have to wait. Time to grow!
Grow 3 q 001.jpgGrow 3 q 002.jpgGrow 3 q 003.jpgGrow 3 q 004.jpg So this is my new grow tent 4'x4'x6'6", 400 watt MH/HSP digital dimmable balast (ipower), 4" fan, no filter and 6" cooltube. After an hour of runnig the light 2' off the floor temps aren't bad 86 degrees and 46 RH, it can only get better with plants in it now.

Kick Ass, Tx! You got that setup fast. I had it in my head that it would be a week or so, I didn't realize you had all the supplies already. Good job. It looks like you have no problems with temps at all. Your girls are gonna love you!

Yeah Amaximus, I have some stuff that I took from my small tent to get the new one up and running. Since I got that BS 135 and it doesn't get hot at all I use it to veg and start plants.

Thanks Calicatt, these ladies will finish in the new tent and I'm already germ'n the next grow which will be the first in it. Going to do a scrog with 2 plants, pineapple chunk and orange bud, this should be fun.

Fingers crossed that they do what they are suppose to do "Auto" flower, the whole reason for going to this light. I'm able to get the quality just no quantity, so I'll keep to what methods have worked to try and gain more than a gram or two.

The ladies are 12 weeks old, they were started under CFL's and vegged under a combination of CFL's and a BS 135 watt UV, began flowering under the same BS 135 watt UV and moved under CFL's so my party cups could get more LED light. I got a new tent and a 400 watt HPS that they have been under for 5 days now, the buds have begun to thicken up on the smaller plant, I'm guessing about 3 more weeks till possible harvest so no more nutes just pH'd water and molasses.

Damn. Them girls are FROSTY! I'm hoping to get my hands on some of these seeds and give em a whirl. That's gotta be some killer smoke. Have you sampled any yet?

No, I haven't sampled yet been a little busy with work and my music. Been trying to get a CD done so we can replicate it and get it out. I've kinda been neglecting my babies, not enough personnal time. Besides I have an oz of the Blues yet so not in a hurry.

Oh yeah, Those girls are frosting and fattening up quite nicely. How come no more nutes for three weeks? I would think another week of nutes and then two weeks of ph'd water/molassess? Not questioning your methods, Just asking.

PS - photo #18 = Drool!

Nice tent setup! All your ladies are lookin great! My 2 babies are about 3 weeks old and are goin under a screen after I transplant them into bigger pots. Just switched them from 200+ watts of cfl's to my 600 mh in my tent. I think I'm gonna add a couple of sour d clones just to help fill the tent. I love how good my 1st batch is. I have to be careful with it, 1 hit too many and I wake up ripped 4 to 6 hours later.bongsmilie:sleep:lol. Have a good 1:peace:

Yeah it's nice not having to pay someone for crappy weed...lol. Should have done this from the beginning but you live and learn. I have 9 out of 10 seeds up going to wait till I got roots showing before I put them in their pots. This next grow is all experimenting with technique as I got my nutes down, I can get quality just no quantity, now it's time to go for volume.

Amaximus, I know it's still early stopping nutes but I think I have enough build up to carry through the end. Trying this to see if I can get more of the phosphate taste out of the buds and get more of a sweet taste.

I don't know yet what it will be as I haven't cut it yet. I do know that I have 2 different pheno's with the taller of the 2 plants showing more Big Bud traits and the small plant showing more White Widow. But for the most part I hope I get at least 2 per plant, if more than that I will be extermly happy.

Sounds like we're in the same boat, got the quality part down now it's time for some quantity. Flowering under the 400 in the tent should help ya there.:) :peace:
