Reply With QuoteOh yeah, the 600w is now in burning up 18 cents per hour, $2.16 per day, $15.12 per week, $166.32 for the rest of the growFuckas
A few more pics to look back on.
Turned the lights to 12/12 yesterday when the pics were taken, I actually went from 22/2 to 12/12 over 3 days increasing the dark period by a third each day.
Decided to bump the nutes up to 1050 and started on the Headmaster additive at a 3.5ml dose, will put it up to 4 next water then 5 after that (the recomended max dose per litre)
They still look really healthy, no nute burn or irregularoties. I am a bit worried I may have turned the lights too soon to fill the canopy, time will tell. Like I've said before the AK47 will more than double in size and the G13 I'm not sure of but with this being a scrog I dont know if that will effect stretch. I can always do some late topping if it happens to get out of control but I really dont want it not utilize the space available.
There is always the next grow to improve on and this one to give me ideas. I love growing! Whether its this or the veges in the garden, you cant beat it for learning patience!!!

A few more pics and a disgruntled grower.
Well I'm a firm believer of learning from your mistakes, there are many failures on the road to success etc etc. As much as the grow looks ok, plants are healthy but I definately turned the lights too early. Being my first scrog the stretch doesn't seem to have anywhere near the same effect under a screen. I even broke (clean off) one of the main colas bending it back through the net, shit I was pissed
Patience is still key. Looking at the positives...healthy growth, strong stems and branches, no signs of over fert and still 9-14 days of stretch to expect. While the 2 pound is a pipe dream on this grow I have learned a lot already!!!!
Ya know, I thought a couple of times in the past few days...screw the journal, how embarrasing. But how do you learn from that attitude, ya don't!! You will see this to the end and I will have an awesome record of my previos grow to learn from right here on RIU
Oh by the way, the pics were from last night. Not too much change from then except the snapped cola.
I would switch to 400w for the first 3 weeks of flower then switch to the 600 after the first 3 weeks dont need that much light.

or if you can keep the 400w 9 inchs from the tops you would recieve around hundred thousand lumens that be perfect for flower
as you only have 2 plants

Next time run 3 the same size on the 600w

Im hearing ya mate! Not so much on the 400w but def on the 3 plant scenario. That was the plan but I only had 2 clones at that time. The next grow will be 3.
Why do you say the 600 is too much? My temps are well within perfect with plenty of room to move when vertical growth starts happening. 9 inches with the 400 doesnt spread across the whole grow, I would miss a good 3rd of the outer limits (where im training the main colas). Please clarify. I really appreciate your input greatly!!!
I know I made a point of power prices but too be honest it is extremely cheap when considering the possible outcome, just in case thats why you recomended the 400. Almost double the lumens with the 6 hundy and I dont need the light so close. Just sayin. I do value your opinion and if you can put up a valid argument I'm all for change
