First HPS grow 1200w autogarden

**meetzu** · 05-16-2010, 07:38 PM

They are outdoors and have been for a couple weeks. Had some temps down in the low 40s/high 30's last week and it had me worried. Checked them today and they all seem to be loving life. Right around waist height (I'm about 6 foot). 22 more seedlings hardening off now. I figure at least 10 of those will be fem. They will head out for good in the next week or so. Set up a plot for my peppers and planted 60 of those today as well. They started budding in their little containers and hopefully I will have some peppers soon. Considering getting some auto's and maybe trying to run them in out door containers, seed run, and then take those seeds and run a bunch more. IDK if I would have time for it though.

yo meetzu, i know this isnt the hydro forum but you think you can give me a hand on how is that you made your coffe can DWC? Ive tried a bunch of times and i just cant get it down and i dont feel like waistin more money on those big rez's when i can use an old coffee can lol. Just like wat size air pump, does the water touch the pot or leave room in between the bottom of the pot and the top of the water, and what medium do you place in the pot to hold the seedling or cutting? thanks in advance. And ps, its good you look on the bright side. It sucks that you didnt get your autos, but your gonna have a hell of a harvest outoors! ahaha

nice setup bro.

Here is a shitty cell phone shot of one of the girls. They are pretty damn hard to spot in the area they are at. Took me about 10 minutes to find the 7 in this area. Hard to tell the height by this pic but they are about 3.5 feet give or take depending on the plant. Once moved out doors all the new fans have been coming out with 11 leaves

Quick update. Girls are still loving it outside. they are ranging from 4ft up to about 5.5ft. lots of preflowers all. little bit of frostiness starting on some of them. seems like a good indication of some good things to come. For this time in the area that I am in I think the size is pretty great.

do they get direct sunlight? if so how many hours a day would you say?

Yeah, they are getting 10-12 hours direct light a day now. They are over my head now.. approaching 7 feet. Pretty massive for indica dominate strains imo even though the have been growing for 6 months. I actually hit them with a 4mL/gal bushmaster solution to help the bottom sites catch up and so i will be minimally required to steak them once the weight starts coming. The preflower calyxes are pretty large and covered in delicious white trichs.
