I just bought a 60x60x140 tent with a prop light off fleabay, about 90 quid it was. Just got it for keepin cuttings in or maybe a mother, always running out of space to put stuff once the setups I have go into flower. It's only a shitty light but I've got a 250w or 400w to throw in if I need, think the 250 would be enuf tho
should be m8, thats what im doing to veg on the next run. 2 weeks under 250mh then 4 weeks under 400mh i should be setup soon so keep ur eyes peeled ;)

thanx don, its been in for 5 days. i dry in the same space i grow with the extractor goin n the dry pots still in the bottom to capture more humidity, gets them nice for storage :) theres a day or 2 delay between tent events and updates m8 with editing and uploading but i do my best to keep it straight and get as much as possible on here for the community ;)

I'm much the same mate though i have plants flowering under the ones drying lol. well, usually. i noticed you leave the stems quite long on your colas, i'm going to pinch that idea. i usually do as short as pos to dry quicker but i bet the taste will improve with the extra day or 2 to hang.

critical kush for the next run then? what's after? i've just got critical jack herer but dropped the seedling yesterday so it might be fucked by time i get yem :rolleyes:

really been wanting something with a big yield that i can beef up strength wise.

breeders spec - 1000w x m2 = 750g
Delvite spec 400w x 1m2 = 323g

........................sounds about right to me folks :) peace out n thanks for watching :hump:

600s are the best ive read and seen also im upgrading soon ( i believe there is a thing as to much light for a space ), 600s have the most usable spectrum.
have you thought of getting a dimmable 400 ballast and starting your cuttings on 250w mh and working your way up to 400?
i was thinking of having it going from the 400w in the veg tent to the 600w for the first 4 weeks in the flower tent and then moving them over to the 1000w for the final 4 weeks so i would be building the light up as i go along. ill have a look at the dimable 400 now, cheers mate

Yeah I think I read up on that earlier on here m8. I hate goin on lookin for seeds cos I just keep goin from one to another for fucking hours lol. So before I went on I said I'm def getting something with so called huge yields to narrow it down and ended up lookin at thc bomb, whatever I choose I'm only runnin maybe two of them with a few exo and psycho, just over 4 weeks left on this run so tryin to sort it out now

Afternoon boy's,

Well the six 'two toke killer' beans I had in have all turned out to be gents so I've saved 2 for pollen harvesting and binned the rest.

On the left is the Purple 'smelly Fingerez' clone mother (several months old), in the middle is the most recessive of the 6 'two toke killer' males (it is the shortest, stockiest and has only just shown sex yesterday), the one on the right is the next shortest in stature and also the next longest to show sex but that one smells just like the Psychosis taste's (Those who know, will know) which might not be surprising to some seen as the mother in this cross is the 'Blues/Livers.

I've put down some of Pukka's 'Grape Kush x Psychosis' that should start breaking the surface tomorrow, it's set my triacontanol experiment back some but hey such is nature.

You should consider Delahaze. Got some going at the minute. It grows proper donkey dicks by the looks of it. Cant wait for flower :)

What wattage light are you running there bud and what size fans? I need to get a cool tube setup sorted after this grow is done for the hotter weather.

was doing the sums there and that's 1.9 oz to each of delvite's 6 plants under a 400w. adding in the extra lumens like 40 000 lumens, you should really be looking at 3.75 to 4 oz a go.

id be holding on to the cut til the 600w arrives for sure

both the 2 tokes look psycho killer leaners. i've still yet to find the livers one in all of the other pips lol. there's a mix of pheno's to be found there yorkie. the sweeter finishes faster the muskier is def stronger, more psychosis leaning. or rather the foistier one of the original psycho killer

That's a 400w MH for veg in a 5" cooltube with a home-made reflector hooked up to a 5" vents TT fan (bearings are starting to go after 2 years so full power is a little rattley), I flower with a 600w HPS in the same tube and the fan on full power (it has 2 speed settings) is JUST good enough to keep a 1.2m square tent temps between 25-30c in summer.
