Hey, RIUers! I'm finally doing another indoor grow! For this grow, I'm planning to do a 400W and a 430W Son Agro HPS grow. I will use the 430 Son Agro HPS for vegging, and both the 430 AND the 400 for flowering.

I should also mention that I'm building the grow room at a buddy of mines, and he will surely be posting here, as he's now a member. His name is bass420, on here. Im sure he'll be subscribing to this thread.

NOW! These are my mediums and organics...



I accept all input on distributing the organics...

Here's a quick set, to catch you up on the grow...

Here's the seeds. Dont have all the breeders packs, my brother kept a couple of the packs, and the Dinafem seeds were freebies from The Attitude. The breeders are...
:leaf:Dinafem White Widow & Power Kush,
Seedsmans Mama Mia and Original Skunk #1, and TH Seeds A-Train.
:weed:
7 seeds total.(2 A-Trains, and 2 Mama Mias)

*Edit* I've added a Himalaya Gold, from Greenhouse Seeds to the list of plants...:bigjoint:


Seperated in their own bags...


Soaking...


In the closet for the night...


All saturated and sunk to the bottom. I then put them in paper towels, in bags, then on my heat mat...


Back To The Closet With You!!!



After the seeds cracked, I put them in 1" Grodan Rockwool cubes, and they're currently under the 430 Son Agro, in a closet, waiting for the room to get finished.



I just recently moved, and my internet wont be hooked up till' the 25th. Im actually posting this from my mothers house. I will be back in ten days to post updates. By then, the ladies will be established, and in their new room. Im taking pics of the room build today, too.

SEE YOU IN TEN DAYS!!

Glad to see some subscribers! Not much has changed with the grow. I've got them under a dome to help keep the rockwool cubes moist. So far, the only seedling to surface is the Power Kush. It popped its head up, this morning. Only been in cubes for two days... Plenty of time.

QUESTION for any1 who's ever grown Dinafems WW... I hear people talk about how they turn the lights out on their WW strain for it's last couple of weeks of flowering, and it gets more trichs. I know this may be true with the strains they speak of, but does Dinafems WW work that way?

I've been working on the room all day. It would have been impossible, up to this point, to take pictures without taking pics of my buddy bass420s personal living space. Drywall got finished today, and it looks VERY nice! The room itself is 7.5' x 7.5' x 8' tall. I set a two inch rise under our new floor, as the room has concrete floors. I installed two exhaust fans in the ceiling, one of which pulls air through a metal light bulb housing that will house my green light.

I cut two fresh air holes, that will pull air directly from the living room of the house. The holes have been offset as to keep from showing light through the holes, and filters have been taped on the inside of the walls, to clean any possible pollen or unwanted particles from entering my room.

I will be painting the walls a bright white, and hanging mylar tomorrow. I will take pics then.

I've also mixed my soil. I have pics to post, the next time I'm on. The internet at my house wont be on for another week, so it may be a while.


OH!... I almost forgot... I've decided that starting 7 seeds doesn't give me enough options.What if a few dont sprout all the way??? What if some of them grow sickly, and need killed?? So I started one of my Himalaya Gold(Greenhouse) I'm saving for this summers grow. I put it in a cup, not 4 hours ago. I will probably be putting it in a paper towel, when I get home. So uhhh,... add Himalaya Gold to the list!!!:bigjoint: Worse case scenario, I have a couple of plants that have to be killed for lack of room to grow. I dont think that will pose a problem with the dimensions of my room. Some simple training of the branches can help save space, if needed...

Later RIUers! Stay tuned!

hey is that your art bro? pretty dope.
Yes, I drew the picture, but I didn't free-hand it. The original outline is traced. I've got a few free-hand drawings, but this isn't one of them.

NOW! The grow!

This was a few days ago. Before the move...

Got my homie keepin' an eye on things.

The Gold...


When they establish themselves a little more, they're going in some neutral soil, but when they can handle it, this is the dirt they're going in...
Fox Farm Ocean Forest...
Processed Llama manure...(by processed, I mean smashed with bricks)
A dash of Fruit Bat Guano...
Some plain soil...
And I added some perlite, and Peat moss to keep it loose.


As of today, the new room is finished. It was done painting yesterday, and we got everything installed today. Here's some pics...

These are the lights. Right now, I'm just using the 430. You can see I have the 400 pulled up.


I put a space heater in the room, but set it about 4 feet from the table, and pointed a big-ass fan at it... The radio quietly plays classical music... It helps bass420 sleep. :bigjoint:


This is a fresh air cover thingy I built out of drywall. It serves to push the air up the wall, and also keeps any residual light coming through the vent, from disturbing my ladies...


Always keep a spare...


For right now, I only have one ceiling vent pulling air. It's your average squirrel cage fan, attached to a housing for two big bulbs. I pulled the lights out of it, and put in one green bulb. Now it's a green light that also pulls a shitload of air outta' my room. The second pic is with the green light on. You can actually see quite well, even tho you cant see shit in the pic...(The fluorescent bulb isn't there anymore)


So there it is, man! They're where they're going to be.

The plants themselves are being slow. Neither of the A-Trains, or the Mama Mias have sprouted... Yet. If they don't, Im gonna' be pissed... Then Im gonna' start a couple Super Lemon Hazes.:weed:

LATER!!!!!!!

I take it the green light is so that you can see in there during the lights out period? as plants are not affected by green light?

thats an interesting one subtle I hadn't thought of that before green things are really just reflecting green light so it makes sense I will have to remember that. So so far the power kush and the Himalaya gold are up and going?

I learned that green lights don't hurt cannibis plants, from a Jorge Cervantes video.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while with updates, but apparently I moved too far in the country for these ISPs, and my internet STILL hasn't been hooked up. I'm posting this from my ladys Blackberry.

The garden is doing good. I plan to put up some new pics wheb my internet gets hooked up.

I'm VERY disappointed to say that NOT ONE of the A-Trains came up. The grow ended up being... 1 Mama Mia, 1 Skunk#1, 1 Himalayan Gold, and 1 Power Kush. I'm extremely disappointed in the A-Trains!

Well, that's the best I can do fropm this phone, so LATER!

I haven't tried all of em' yet. So far, they're 0-2. I still have 3 more I'm saving for my summer grow, along with 2 more Mama Mias, 2 more Himalaya Golds, and 2 Super Lemon Hazes.

I'll get some pics up soon.

{edit} Does any1 know if I can change the title of this thread to "Subtles 830W HPS Himalayan Gold, Power Kush, Mama Mia, Skunk #1 Grow"? I've already fixed my sig.

Pics by Monday!!! I promise!!!

You'd have to start a new thread to change the title.

That sucks.
I've got new pics of the four girls. I dont know how to up them from my phone. Something that's bothering me... The Power Kush has very small burns on the tips of its leaves. What could this be from?

Im gonna' get pics up 2nite, hoopefully.
