My first shot at main-lining nugbuckets style anyhow....


One of my cuts of spacedawg.... so far I have 8 heads going..... I may go for 16 or just let this one veg for awhile and just go with the 8... Actually a couple may end up with 3 heads per instead of just 2 from accidentally fimming....... not a bad thing I'm thinking.. Thats a 7 gal smarty with handles and filled with super soil...(handles are wrong move on my part I'm finding)....

Also nugs any updates on your fruity pebbles cut of AOS? I think I ended up with this pheno myself.... At about 14 days or so she started pushing out straight up pink bud, I cant really smell whats going on yet but its getting frosty... I'll grab some pics of that later and post them but I was curious about how yours was coming....

not so sure what you mean.......i veg my clones about 45-50 days from first roots, and seeds around 55 days, i start to flower them when they have 8 or 16 established leaders and about 12-14 inches tall, i flip them just as they hit their stride a week to 10 days after transplanting into their big flower pots.....most my plants finish between 24 to 30 inches total height from soil line.
I'm sorry 'im not a native speaker and sometimes things get a little messed up.
You've said you were waiting for the 7th node for vegging. My seedlings are stretching a bit (i'm using a HPS to veg them - i'll get a new lamp for my next grow) and with their 3rd node coming up they're already pretty tall... How early could you do the sexing in your opininon (to minimize veg time -i'm a bit short on time and will go for 4 heads with this beeing my first attempt i'll stay humble :) )

Thank you sir your answers are really aprreciated!

Nugs, thanks for sharing your mainlining technique. I may not have the strains conducive to mainline with but this style has proved to me it works. These are a couple plants I have in flower now for 6 weeks, I've never had this much quantity.

Nice job brosef. Your pics look great these days. A single soft box overhead is always one of my favorites when photographing plants. I don't know what it is, but that is always where I start when I'm lighting a plant, and then I tend to build up the lighting from there. I like how you let some warmth from the HPS sneak in on the first shot too, btw.

Getting ready to crack some seeds over here, and do my first complete mainline run under my 600. 2 more weeks and it's go time. Psyched! :peace:

wow, good eye bro!......that first shot did have some flower room light on it, but then for some reason i was getting reflection on my backdrop with the other two, so i closed the door!.....almost like you were there !.....i like a little warm spectrum, so i am playing with that, the combo of the two is usually the best if your WB is proper....

Aw, thanks. Lots of practice, I suppose. :)

You're spot on with the mixing of color temps. A Burnt Amber gel does a great job at that when used as a fill light. I can't remember if that is Rosco or Lee's name for it, but if you go online to someplace like the Set Shop in LA, you can find it there. Also, if you're ordering from there, get a couple different variations of CTB as well... a blue edgelight here and there can be nice sometimes (or purple or red or whichever color). Experiment, and have fun. :peace:
