HARVEST: 150w scrog. GIANT colas. lots of pics!!

I'm back for my second harvest. If you missed my first grow (150w mini fridge master kush scrog, 3.5oz yield), you can check it out here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/131013-master-kush-scrog-150w-hps.html.

I didn't keep a weekly journal like my first grow, but i pretty much did all the same things, changing one variable, the plant strain. my first grow was a master kush (indica), for my second grow I decided to try out a sativa, specifically nirvana's Northern Lights X Haze. WOW, this thing was huge!. It was a little tough constraining it to my mini fridge, but the scrog technique came through.


here is the rundown of my grow

1 plant: Northern Lights X Haze (sativa!)
150w HPS
scrog, hydro
5 gallon res
advanced nutrient 3-part with big bud
Flowered for 12.5 weeks
(12/12 on Feb 1. Harvest on May 1.)

I havent taken the weight yet, i'll do that when they are done drying.

if you want to see more detail of my setup, check out my first grow:

here are the pics!!

pics from harvest (may 1st 2009)

colas are so heavy!














I took a clipping of a smaller bud a few days ago before my 72 hr period of darkens. that bud has dried out and i took 4 hits last night.
HOLY SHIT! i thought i was flying. this bud was had some hallucination properties as well, it was quite a trip. highest i've ever been. I think i'll settle for 1 or 2 hits next time.

so thats it for now, let me know what you think!

Monsters!! well done and happy smoking.

i think i need to take a look at your first journal man, holy shit! thats all from one 150w hps light? fuck me i need to get with the hydro! +rep and you gotta post the weight then all is dried and cured.

thanks man!
yea this is all from a 150w. I scrogged the large branches over to the side of the walls so the light was able to hit the middle of all the branches. Also it is a sativa strain so that helps for the size. These colas are much bigger than my first grow.

Way to go!
That is great for 150w.
Hell, some guys might not get that off 400w, LOL.

was that a dwc system if so im doing that next time i just did my first but if i do it like that it could be awesome +rep

Nice job amigo.

nice grow man +rep what do you reckon the yeild will be full dried and cured?

yup, 5 gallon dwc. all it is is a 5 gallon bucket with two air stones. i empty/refill the res with nutes once a week. i flushed the last 7 days, and kept them in the dark the last 3 of those 7 days. about 90 days total of 12/12.

bravo man!!! post a few dry picks if you can

Outstanding grow once again waterCooled! You are the mini-fridge dwc master! I wouldn't have thought a mostly-sativa hybrid could be done in such a small space, but you've proved me wrong. I just may have to try that myself. Are you going to do a third round? If so, same strain, or something new?

thanks for the rep man. As far as yield, I'm really not sure. My first grow yielded 3.5oz, but it was a ton of small buds. This grow is a few giant buds, so it's hard for me to visually compare to the last grow. I'll report back with the final dry weight early next week.

thanks seymourxxx! yea man the mini fridge has done me well. The key is good ventilation, and my ambient room temp was in the 60-70 most of the grow, the fridge was able to draw in mostly cool air. As for my next grow, I won't be getting that on until the fall. It gets way too hot in my apt in the summer, and that ontop of the 150hps in the fridge it's getting hotter than i can deal (a 90F+ dwc res = bad root rot!).

I've got enough weed to last me and my buddies the entire summer (never told anyone about my grow though - be safe!). When the temps turn colder in the fall I'll probably start up once again. it's a fun winter activity, i was easily able to fit in two harvests - even with the sativa flowering 12 weeks.

so for my next strain, any suggestions? I've got some Bubblicious and Durban poison seeds, but i'm opening to any other ideas.

Shiva Skunk (NL#5xSK#1)was mind-blowing to me.
Caution- This weed induces great contemplation on the user.
i.e. It will make you question the origins of the cosmos.

that is so sick! do you use the fridge cooling?

how many sq foot is that fridge?

So no vegetating I guess?
Awesome grow! Very inspiring!

Any of those I'm sure will do fine. I've got your same problem with summer temps. I've got some Strawberry Haze seeds I'm planning on growing this Autumn - very similar genetics to the NL5xHaze you grew, so you've given me a lot of hope!
I'd say that the NL5xHaze strain that you just harvested has pretty much proven itself. Stay with what works. Keep up the good work, brother!

well i give u mad props i did just a soiless grow and now that everyone is doing the dwc or aero. i need to play cetchup lol but yea man let us know wut the d/w was +rep . ps u said u mixed the nutes with the water in the bucket is that right ive never done it and dont want to f it up. peace

impressive with that 150w, with your hydro setup and close lighting looks like you have it dialed in + rep

looks like you got at least a qp there ... ill guess 4.25 z
