430W HPS + 170W of CLFS - SrcOG - DYI - Bubbler - R2

[Old Timer]

My closet is 8 feet long 2.5 feet wide and 8 feet tall. The height is a huge factor because if I can trim 6 inches off my height I'll have enought space to stack this 2 grows high its a crazy concept I'll get into more detail later on.

I'm using a 430W Son Argo HPS bulb and 4 CFL's adding 170 etra watts. The HPS bulb is housed in an air cooled hood being vented by a 300CFM (filtertested) vortex fan. The air is being filter by a CAN-Filter 2800 (I think it might be the 2802 or something)

All 8 plants are housed in 1 rubbermaid container. I cut 8 holes in the top and tried various types of medium for shits and giggles. So far I think I'm going to stick with 2 inch rockwool cubes with a net pot. I have 1 3500 cc air pump with 2 - 6 inch air stones in the bottom of the tub. My ppm is about 700 right now I use the GH 3 part system and the Flora Grow +Bloom, supplemented with GrowthPlus, Superthrive, Bee one and Monster Bloom. I use Guardian angle as my protective enzyme.

My reservoir is not light proof because in all reality it doesnt need to be. I do not monitor the PH balance, I did this for many grow befor and I found that it nevers varies more than 5.0 to 7.0 and I've never had any issuses with it so it was more of a nusance than anything.

I flipped my light over to 12/12 3 days ago so the screen is pretty full, I got about 2.5 weeks of training left then I'll just let em grow and hopefully get a carpet of buds.

Here's a couple of pics of what I've got so far.

Nice setup you got going! :gthumb:

[StoninStanley]

you look like you know what your doing there, nice job indeed :watch:
ill be watchin this grow closely

[ndnguy]

Nice, I noticed you didn't mention any strains, which one produces those huge ass single leaves???:eek: LOL Real healthy ,I love lookin at healthy green plants more than macro's everyone puts up.;)

[Old Timer]

Thanks Fred Lemonjello, drumin, StoninStanley



ndnguy - They are all clones, from a local grower it's called R2. I've never even seen the seeds for sale befor. This is my first try with it and I've been waiting 3 + years to get my hands on it. I will say it's rather stuborn when cloning. I've killed roughly 20 cuttings already, I'm gonna try some rockwool today see how my luck is with that.

I'm gonna do a training session today so I'll take some befor/after/ 3 hours later pics.

[drumin]

Cool, I'll be watchin. :cool:

[bigsmoker420]

damn you got a forest there ill be watching

[Old Timer]

Well I only managed to take the befor and after three hours later my cam died.

[Old Timer]

I mixed those up
heres the befor

[Old Timer]

humm

[drumin]

OK, I'm confused... :erm:

[Old Timer]

Sorry, I messed up when I posted those pics

Check the name of the file... some are befor the training session others are right after


That what happens when I get baked and post

[Old Timer]

this is 2 weeks into flowering. This seems to be a quick flowering strain what do you guys think?

[Old Timer]

Here's a little up date

[gorilla]

Awesome, they're really fattenin up aren't they!

How far in are they now old-timer?

keep it up :eek:

[Old Timer]

there's some pics from the 16th... I finaly got a photo editing porgram but the pics are still kind crappy

[Old Timer]

They have 21 days left so I'm gonna try a 3 week flush this time... I have been pounding the neuts since the start of flowering so they have lots of stored up energy I hope....



Oh ya I dont really know they have 3 weeks left.... this is my first time with this strain so I'm just keeoing a close eye on them. To tell you the truth the I think they may take less than 3 weeks

[Old Timer]

Alright I just took some pics and they turned out pretty well so have a look

[Old Timer]

Wow the buds are literaly growing on top of each other
This is gonna be some good smoke to come. And I've stressed the HP leves so I have a few male flowers growing in the buds. This means I'm gonna have some feminized seed out of this batch. (When I say I stressed them PH I mean I never check it and I never adjust it. I leave them for 3 weeks at a time with out changing it too)

[Old Timer]

Due to some unfor seen circomestances, I've had to cut it down a few days early but thats fine to me

[gorilla]

wow, awesome. love the net full of buds. :p

[Old Timer]

Thanks gorilla, I cant wait for it to dry
