Awesome, thank you. I'm just curious how much space you need for you 1000w because I'm trying to figure out what I'll need for my 600w.

I just measured it. My light is 14.5" from the highest point on the canopy. But remember, I have intense cooling, so I can't recommend having the hid light this close to everyone.
Edit:
I'll prob be moving the light up tomorrow.

Bump-lestiltskins!! Been away for a minute and the jungle is getting it's funk on Jin!!!!!!!!!!! Hell yea. Puts my scrog to shame.
I managed to snap 2 heads this morning while trying to return some sort of structure to my dogscrog (been away for 4 days and left to run riot on it's own!) Ah well, the DOG likes to be treaten mean, lol.
Take it easy, DST

I don't know how this cola is surviving but it's about 3 inches from a 1000w Hps

Oh, man. It's sizzle time! Lol.I don't know how this cola is surviving but it's about 3 inches from a 1000w Hps
Yeah, man. While screen tucking, there were several times I thought, "no way is this branch gonna survive this." But the plants surprised me every time and bent instead of snapping. My girls are on 'roids, tho.
Little damages occur here and there, I'm used to that. Just feel lucky to have avoided it this time. And don't feel too bad. I broke three heads once off my Platinum OG. It killed me too because had they not died, they would have become HUGE buds, like all the similar branches that were around them. Pity... Oh, well.
Thanks for watching and have a great day!

My mistake was to train before watering after being away, they were a tad fragile....oooerps (eager beaver syndrom, I was like a dog with a wagging tail meeting it's long lost buddy, lol) They have enough vigour not to get too bothered with it and what happens happens. The last cola I snapped of it currently reveging in my nursery. I love a re-veg, you get crazy bushes. Goedenavond

The poor bab hadn't been watered for 4 days so with the spurt in growth uptop I imagine the root system has been going crazy. Was still happy that all my plants took 4 days without water fairly well. I apply mycorrhizae to my fresh coco and also to my compost heap. The roots go insane, it really helps with the plant getting water from every knook and cranny as well. Helps to tap into those water channels. The Dog and the OG I grew before both get real hard branches, even on the smaller and lower ones, I think it's always a good sign of solid nugs to come. I've just popped 2 OG's into flower, they were from seed so we'll see how they go. Off to the scratcher. Peace, D

Yeah, growing in hydro is so different. So many people say that hydro is harder, but to me, the feeding seems a lot more straight-forward in hydro.
Solid and dense nugs are the goal. I'm keeping the flowering temps lower this time around because I've seen a direct correlation between low temps and nug density. I hate those nugs that give when you squeeze them.

Good idea. Remember to read only the good parts.

This is Tahoe OG Kush.
They're starting to bush up, power on.
Height still not an issue. In fact my lazy stoner ass has decided to put off raising the light until tomorrow.
Couple of more macros of the clustering:
Just a couple of canopy shots:
And finally the overhead shots of the entire canopy in three segments.
We're flowering... Though I'm too lazy to fuss with the hot light tonight, I did manage to move the thermometer probe up. It's still a very cool 73f at the canopy level. Loving this cool LA weather right now. The ac ain't workin' hard at all.

Since I've just been throwing up pictures left and right, I thought it high time to grind out a journal entry.
Don't worry, I won't get overly philosophical or anything, but I'd like to take a moment to share some of my thoughts and feelings with you. So while an asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier sails silently and safely by us all, let us turn our thoughts beyond our grows, inward, to what motivates us to worship marijuana.
For me, it's the sheer joy of getting myself good and high with my own two hands. That's probably an oversimplification and the short version answer most of us would give if asked why, but it's everything to me. My love affair with pot is long standing, but for so many years of smoking it, I had no idea how to grow the great shit I was paying sixty an eighth for. I couldn't stand not knowing, so I put my bong down long enough to research, research, research. Most of that research was done here on RIU. You wouldn't believe all the crap I had to pick through... the flame wars, the endless nonsensical discussions having nothing to do with growing, etc. But I did this for several months before finally trying it for myself. It was rough going at first, but I managed to absorb enough correct information to succeed with my first grow. It's been nothing but success after success since.
But even after I had completed several successful grows, I never posted once. I derived a great deal of self-satisfaction continuing in my silent observation... just checking to see how much more my plants were kicking ass than most of the grows I saw here. But that had to stop. I thought to myself, "Gee I should probably try to give something back." So after three years, here I am for better or for worse.
I've gotten into it with a couple of people here, and I think a few of you may have seen just how vicious I can be. I can tell you right now (and for all the mods reading this, especially to you) I will never again stoop to such levels. As I stated in an earlier post, I'm not an expert. Just an amateur cannabis enthusiast who has learned a thing or two from RIU... just like you.
So I promise not to be dick anymore. Ever. Peace to all and a very pleasant evening.

I would have never guessed that u get such satisfaction from kicking my ass in growing....lol
Growing marijauana is probly one of the easiest things in this world to do ....
The problem is most people who grow are potheaeds ... and or are to busy to dedicate so much time and money too growing.....
I would say easily if u have the money for a 1000watt and a system as complex as yours its easily done....
In my case i have a 400watt, a t5 ,and a fan ....nothing fancy. In my case it requires lots of time, effort , and luck.....
Seemingly im dealing with mother nature and what ever air or temperature , that comes through my window.
So if i can do it anyone can.....
Now surely i never yeild more than 8 ounces a grow... and am lucky just to get a couple ounes off each plant ....
On the other hand since the year has began ... ive already went through five grows .... and just strating my 6th grow...just flipped them into flower yesterday....
I willl agree it is fun ...growing out all these new strains...but ultimately , maybe a personal problem, it hasnt gotten me anywhere...
Its to the point where i was so immersed into the scene .... Where the rest of my life kinda faded away ... and i became this ravaging madman , who smokes about an eighth a day ....
Not to sound all sentimental, but i really sometimes wish i would have spent more time on other things and not got lost in the wonderful world of weed.... (i cant lie i did make some money here and there but i smoke pretty much all of it myself)
Thinking back to when i first was on your thread.... the diablo thread .... I remember saying "boy thats gonna be some great muscle chicken jin" and saying things like "your over nuting your plants"....
In the back of my mind thinking if i only could yield that much ..... well its not gonna happen not with my setup ..im a hobbyiest ....
I keep it small and simple... and my genetics shine right through the flowers.... Providing a very kind , smooth smoke... unlike most of that supper crysatlized overnuted stuff at the clubs....
I am just happy that the tahoes have been up to your standards....
All in all , i just wanted the best for ya bro....
Much respect....

Hey, man. Did I just smoke my life away? I've had those thoughts too. Back in my twenties I thought, no way I'm gonna still be at this in my thirties. But as I smoked and smoked I started to realize that this was not just some passing phase of my youth... in fact it's a way of life. And when it finally got medical recognition in Cali, that's when I knew that the herb was always the right choice for me. I have a bad back and I'm bipolar besides... And yeah, maybe it does get you high and makes you listen to music, watch movies, and play video games... But it's medicine, dude. It keeps me from pushing old ladies down a flight of stairs... that sort of thing.
And you were right, bro. I was totally overloading my plants on nutes to force yield. Not gonna do that with these... and they wouldn't let me even if I wanted to. They still have the burn scars from when I rode them at 600ppm. That's just a little stronger than seedling strength based on how much I was feeding in my previous grows. They don't do anything more than 500ppm. It's wild. I can hardly wait to see these beauties do their thing. I'm gonna start whacking out the leaves under the screen soon.
edit:
And besides, if I wasn't a pot head, I wouldn't have met you or your really nice girlfriend, right?
