My new 12/12 from seed batch @ day 18. I call the strain "Esel" but it's just really good ditch weed. I figure it was good even after being abused, microwaved, vacuum packed etc....lol j/k.
They are all the same age and from the same batch, I have no idea why the one is so huge, it sprouted 2 days after putting it into a jiffy plug, the others took 8 days to sprout one took 9 days.
I have been feeding them botanicare liquid karma, Sweet raw, and Pro Blend Original. they were under t8's for the first 2 weeks after sprouting and then have been under a 1000watt hps for 4 days now.




and a few of my other 12/12 grow, the strain is Snowcap. They were started new years' day. Spent their first 4 weeks under T8's (32 watt phillips daylight deluxe lamps)

Gutted for you mate, good look for your future grows!................what strain did you grow on your 1st run?

First grow was about 10 strains mate, i didnt fill the cab up and i think thats why i went well, think 18 plants crammed into the cab gives them nowhere to go except upwards and in a cab with limited headroom that aint good. I had a few cheese on the first run ak47, chronic, skunk#1, bigbud, sharksbreath and few others and pulled about 14oz total. Im sticking with coco now man in pots and getting my perpetual grow off and running, two failed grows in this cab aint doing me any favours my bud jars have been empty for too long lol.

Looking nice man, what you got them under a 4 or 600w

 

[k3nz1387]

got them under a 400. cnt wait to see how they turn out. the haze was growing like 3 inches a day but i fink most of the stretch is over with now. i'v always wanted to go perpetual also just never had the room, mite give it a go next time.

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

Never run outta bud with a perpetual slighly more work but better in the long run i rekon.

 

[k3nz1387]

how many plants could i fit under a 400 doing a perpetual? like the idea of nevr running out of bud

Dels the man for this hes been running a perpetual grow for a long time, ive been a hydro grower and i aint never run perpetual before now (ive just started). obviously the larger the plants the less your gonna fit under, ive got 4 rocklock that would fit under a 400w (you can see them a few pages back) and i could get a few smaller ones around them stood on pots. Lets say if you started off a seed every two weeks and bank on around them finishing in 11 weeks from seed (8 weekers im talking about) then 6/8 plants (maybe more) and harvest one every two weeks or so they would all vary in height so you would have to stand the smaller ones on something. It helps to have another light something like a CFL 200w then you could start them off under this and leave there for a few weeks and as you chop a plant move them under the HPS. Ive got 3 flowering cabs so i mix and match and plan on chopping a couple of plants every week.

Where from 3ch by any chance, what ya gonna do loose the 250 mh and add the 400hps in its place i rekon youll be good. Those mh run hotter than hps from what ive found, i know my 250w mh gives off some major heat so the 400hps in its place shouldnt effect temps that much.

100 percent money back if you arent happy with the results using hammerhead............

 

[del66666]

[jimmygreenfingers]

Yeah i think they say that with all there gear, never needed to take them up on this offer tho been using AN 2 part base nutes for good few years now and really rate the stuff they have so many nute additives i get lost when trying to decide. Ill see how you get on with hammerhead, you stuck that 400 in ya cab?

had to, cant buy it and not use it...........to tell the truth ive never found that hps put out as much heat as some people make out, not checking temps ..fuck it........i wont worry unless the room the cabs in gets to hot.

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

Been a long time since i worried about temps myself, use too but since ive used air cooled hoods for the last 2/3 years my temps have been sweet. Running 2 600s tho can get a bit toastie just depends how good your fan setup is i suppose. Rocklocks back in stock in around 3 weeks if your interested one strain you might want the heads up on is aurora indica pulled that grow of mine down today to free up the cab and was nearly crying whilst doing it lol but that strain was looking fucking sweet and would have been a nice plant, defo gonna do this in coco and the beans are pretty cheap as well.

 

[del66666]

i feel for you man....thats a harsh thing to have to do, will put the aurora on the long list lol...........yeah mate cant beat the coco, im loving it, so much control,

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

Just one of those things del had to be done and tbh at the time i was gutted now few hrs on i feel alot better, i can really get stuck into this perpetual lark and i germed another 3 beans today so things aint to bad. BTW your gonna need shades or better still a welders mask when you open up that cab lol.
