I run 2x 1kw SE hps and don't care what my yield is, I just wanted good quality personal smoke =). The penetration and bud thickness is much better than any other room. Only downside is I'll have to start running a portable AC shortly to dehumidify and chill the temps.
Bunny cleavage!!! I'm spitting but you can't see it. Best thing ever.
She is much taller than mine. Less bushy though. My girl right now os staying a deep green aside from the earlier lower issues with leaf growth. I did some super training with her yesterday so we will see. I'm trying to keep them short. Within reason anyway.
And that is the one with almost 5×5 coverage?
What do you mean by that? Sorry, as i said, light ignorant here.
I'm definitely tight for cash. I'm looking for the best lights I can get in my price range. Regardless of type. I've found a few sets I'm doing some research on.
A 400 watt would do 3x3 easy
Thanks for the picture. Visuals always help. Believe it or not, I've trimmed the bottoms twice. It seems as if all of their growth is lateral. @SCJedi warned me they get very leafy.
Dang those are some straight bushes then! I grew a seedsman white widow once. I think i topped it once. Grew like friggin wildfire too. Wasn’t a big fan of the smoke, but I’m picky as all hell about the effects.
That Widow was a freebie with my order and on the advice of someone wiser than myself i ran it first so i didn't muck up my expensive seeds. It is growing fast when it is good but it is super finicky and sensitive. Did you have any issues out of it when you grew it?
This is really best for stretchy plants with a lot of internodal-space - which you need to train violently or they would hit lights - stuff like that.
No issues at all, I remember it being one of the most vigorous, no-fuss plants I ever grew. I tend to think that when plants are young, less than a month old, they can be sensitive to all sorts of things. But once they get past that and especially into flowering they really take off.
Believe it or not, they've all been topped. They are growing wide at such a rapid rate. I'm tying them down too. Garden twine and binder clips. I'll get some pictures when i get home. A couple don't really want to bend but they will survive. It was your advice from my first grow that got me doing it much earlier this time. I was thinking of topping again but I'm kind of worried it would be too much for the space. However, I have no idea how many are males and how many are females yet. I could have all males or even all girls.
Killing jewels, keeping it
. I love that.it's funny I do this too. Imo it's basically supercropping without the bend. I massage my stems as well during flower to produce that swell. Again I love making the plant think it's going to die so it goes into overdrive. Same thing when I defoliate. That's why I do it all at once. I completely agree with some here some there, it makes for a healthier plant. I'm just tryna get the strongest expression I suppose without the illgotten effects. So far I've been lucky. Maybe once I've been doing this for ten years I'll preach it as gospel but until then I'm just having fun learning.
. It's just so damn relaxing getting lost in the plants. im pretty sure it was jewels again who said some of us do this for our own sanity. That's me all day. When I'm going through it I just go plop down in front of the tent and just get lost. Nothing matters in those moments but the babies.
