Iced grapefruit vertical scrog grow

Hey guys, this is my 2nd year growing. Just finally thought I should join a forum and share and learn with all of you. I currently Have a set up in my sump pump room with 660 watts of t5 fluorescents. I am going to be changing our those lights for my new 600w high pressure sodium that's arriving tomorrow. I've just started week 4 of flowering (the pictures aren't up to date, I will add some tomorrow) I'll update as I go, just wanted to get this thread started. Thanks everyone and I am glad to be a part of this community.

Man I can dig it

Oh I know it man! I added the string as an after thought. I was just growing it normally and thought, eh Fuck it, I'll add the string, update my lights and get an even better crop!

UPDATE: Hey guys, just installed the HPS last night and thought I'd throw up recent pics since all the last photos were a couple weeks old. Anyway, this is how she's looking. Taking off! Wierd getting used to the new light having grown with t5's for the last 2 years. Loving the power this thing puts off though. The ballast is adjustable from 50, 75 and 100% power. Since I'm not positive if I'll have heat issues and don't know the nature of high pressure sodium yet, I'm going to run it at 75% (450 watts) for a while as a trial run. I'll keep posting as I go! By the way, the entire system is 600 watts at full power.

Just an update here. Iced grapefruit at 5 weeks flower. Buds are getting BIG can't wait. Love this smoke the first time I grew it, gonna be even better the second time!

Who else has grown this strain? I would like to hear your stories. This is my second grow with iced grapefruit and what a cool strain it is. This baby just finished week 8 and I'm going to keep her going a while. The trichs are still mostly clear. As far as I can tell, the buds are still growing pretty rapidly. She smells fruitier than ever! Very excited to harvest in the next week or so. As for the color, the coldest my room gets at night is just over 60, but it's still getting a tad bit of purple in there.
