My 2nd try at a grow. micro grow

[Ganja_Greg]

thanks thorn! i rly hope this things done in 5 weeks , i wanna start on somthing different and get my lights over the indica lol alice is borring now , of course till i chop her i think in place of nitrogen all give them superthrive for over all health of the plant..

whats funny is this soil i recycled from a pot that used to have a plant growing in it . hehe everything is recycled!

Awsome looking plant! Just dont skimp on the drying and curing process.

dang gg, thats some nice stuff to, liking the OGOGOG all around haha. surprising I bought this stuff from the street, not the club. The closest club is 75 miles away so. Ill post you some club pics when I go later this week.

 

[Ganja_Greg]

most weed i get off the street blows away club weed for me here in cali.. seems like alot of the guys in riverside that grow for clubs dont cure they just dry so you get good weed that taste great just burns up quick and done weigh crap.

 

[headband]

thats not to far from my girlfriends, who lives in the San Fernando Valley, the clubs are in huge competition around my area, so they have to have da dankky

Mini Update...

Well me and my buddy were out side my house smoking a Jay.. and we see this fish tank hood that holds two light bulbs and my friend is like hey you could put 2 more CFL's in that and take that ballast out of the tank hood.. soo i ripped it apart and now i have 2 more 21 W CFL's in the box..

Soo now im at 185w of CFL's all 2700k and around 12k lumens now.. im hopeing that this will increase the bud size in the next couple weeks... also started giving both plants superthrive at everywatering for over all health doesnt seem to effect the plant much other then it looks more vibrantly green now... alice has suffered from chem like i had said recently in the journal and it does seem to get worse but what can i do now .. dmg is done but she still looks fine 90% green and lush , buds are not effected by any of the chem burn but some of the leaves around the buds or coming out of the buds are....

Also got a new seed yesterday from some mid grade sack and i have it germing. was going to put it on one of those pelets that puff up when you water it and you can grow in and transplant in. but i had already put the seed in soil and used my old technique for germing before i realized i had those sitting on the side of my box waiting for some seeds! oh well

anyways probably do pics in like 3 days,
main cola seems to be getting bigger and other buds stay the same alittle growth spurt the other day.. but the little ones have more trichromes on them then cola... thanks for reading!

nice one GG! One of these days i wanna do a full fish tank grow hehe! WOW thats a lot of lumens! What size is your grow space again? Once u got some money saved up you could buy a small 150W HPS or something. 150 gives out 16K lumens and that'd give u some fat buds! Also as you've added cfls gradually you won't have that noticable peak in electric bill. Its all good..can't wait for more Alice bud porn

Thanks Thorn! fish tank would be cool! ya id love an HPS 150w would be cool for micro expensive tho! grow space is about 3' tall x 2' x 2' this is a rough estimate its alittle under 2' wide both ways..

ya im hopeing that the increase is light will help fatten um out! probably end up with like 20grams but oh well! its all home grown to me =)

Alice porn sooN!

hey bro looks great twenty grams is better than no grams and it will be way better than whats on the streets because you grew it i have a mini grow under my fish tank and i have two 150 Hps in there along with a couple of cfls they work great and they were 60 at home depot they come with 70 watt bulbs but the 150watt works in them good luck with your grow bro peace

 

[Thorn]

well if you got a total of 185W in cfls that comes to around 12K lumens then surely a 150W hps would be bout the same cost if not less? you can get some pretty good priced hps set ups and are quite easy to install. i'd imagine the heat put out wouldn't be far offf what that amount of of cfls and flos would put out.

i'm sure you'll get over an oz from alice, hopefully more, but hey from the little you've spent on this grow, whatever green u get is a bonus keep it up man

 

[Ganja_Greg]

ya true thorn just funds are unavailble all together for me , im poor cant even afford 1 gram right now =( hehe

how much for the 150w HPS set ups?

 

[Thorn]

I got my 150W setup from ebay for £39.99 it contained the reflector, ballast, bulb and all wiring which my boyfriend did but it was pretty simple and a great price! but the person I got it from also did a 250W one for £49.99 and another higher watt one that was about £64.99, sorry I'm not sure how much that is in other currencies.

Anyway here's the link to the guys shop, but he doesn't have any on sale at the moment. ~

[Ganja_Greg]

ya thorn i think the next grow will be acouple of 150w HPS's once i can get the funds together and some exhaust fans set up with carbon filters... maybe even just get a 250w.. kinda like to keep it cheap its the way i like to grow hehe i know all never grow as good of weed as somone who spends 1000's of dollars but hey i try hehe

Thorn your a girl? haha never would of guessed

 

[Ganja_Greg]

Just wanted to show how the box is looking nowadays with the 2 new 21w CFL's lights and now a new circulation fan inside as well but at the top of the box rather then the bottom like the old one in there.. still hotter then Two squirls F****** in a whool sock in there but plants seem fine to me.. heres the pics!!

GG,

PS. bud porn soon she aint looking so hot right now waiting for chem burn to clear up alittle =)

also i am aware my box is pretty ghetto looking lol , i do everything with whats at hand like tape and shoe laces and string soo ya!

 

[akirahz]

man that paint-can lady of yours is a stellar bush! I'm sure they're liking the extra lumens --- tell me what is superthrive anyway, is it fert?? I've heard its been around a really long time, like since the 30's or something

 

[Thorn]

Thorn your a girl? haha never would of guessed

Yup I am indeed hehe... was brought up around lads though so am not the most feminine of people, i'll just say it as it is :hubba:

Anyway... the grow's lookin good. Yea i'd prob get a 250W hps - save for it, you'll love it! IF you go by the 5000 lumens per sq foot then with a 150W hps that gives out an initial 16000 lumens you could have a 3-4 square foot area with a nice lumen output, but if you have a bigger space than that then yea save the extra cash and go for a 250W hps.. plus if you get more and more adventurous a 250 watter would serve you well

When i get my own place (someday ) i wanna build a 2ft x 2ft x 2ft box grow space from scratch...still pretty small but it'd ace with my 150w hps, i could get onto some sick low LST grows then Personally we don't need more than that as anything we grow is purely for our use...not even our mates, but then we not long ago moved house and our friends here don't smoke. Its all good...all the more for me :smoke1:eace:
