250 watt keep it simple ghetto grow - leftover seeds. COBs.

Always fancied the Black Domina as it is 100% indica. Some very nice choice of strains there mate, always fancied the Strawberry Cough! I think the California Hashplant will be a great performer. Shame you couldn't get the DNA, but I imagine the Lemon OG will be similar to the Golden Lemons that I'm growing, so just jump into my grow! Haha
And I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Pineapple Chunk! Something I would like to do in the future! Once did an Auto Pineapple for outdoors and it absolutely reeked in veg! Then the rabbits got to it! :cuss:
And I'll always be knocking about on here mate, love it.
Damn shame to hear it. I bet that rabbit made for some pretty good steak
I think I will do two plants instead... cali hashplant and purple afghan kush :P

So this is them roughtly 4 weeks int of 11/13 (I skipped the whole gradual reduction of light and went straight into 11/13)
This is the canopy that the 250 watter can do. It appears like we have two distinct phenos on the Power Kush, but the Mendocino Purple Kush is my favorite so far. Very small and good looking and the dankiest smell. I think in the future I can do four plants if I train them same as her and not have an ounce of doubt regarding light intensity.
Second pic is the Mendocino Purple Kush

Looking gorgeous them mate, really healthy. Whats the thought behind 11/13? Something i've never looked up.
Yup, I am surprised they made it thus far without a problem.... well... they received minor heat stress (I think) and a little light bleaching (again, I think... it could just be their natural colour). It\s too early to say but I think I'm looking at 1 gram/watt.
There's no thought behind 11/13. Just saving up a little electricity.... you know green world and what not... and trying to mimic nature: where on Earth are there 12 hours of sunlight for 8 to 9 weeks straight?

Exciting times! What ya gonna pop Grape?
I haven't decided yet. But surely one Purple Afghan Kush and one Cali Hashplant. Maybe the Blue Hash as well and the Pineapple Chunk. Gonna keep 4 main heads on them and it's gonna be SAHH-WEEEET. My plants are getting real fat at the moment. Gonna post some pics tomorrow. Also they are starting to lose their green colour and their older leaves are falling off... I think my nute solution might be flawed... very flawed.

Might aswell have the variety mate if you can, do you just top the once then to have 4 main tops? And hopefully they roughly stay around the same height.

I do like the look of that, very tidy. Perfect technique for your set up I reckon. What you aiming for, 2oz a plant?

This is 5 and a half weeks since the switch
I'm a bit concerned because shortly after the 4th week mark bottom leaves started to yellow up and dry up and eventually die. I tried giving more nitrogen and it didn't help. I'm gonna try giving it less (dilute nutrient solution). Or it's maybe because of the low light level. Brainstorm and Blue Kush are keeping their own much better, also they are the smallest ones. So could be the light
Also it is insane how frosty the Blue Kush is compared to the others

I'm definitely not an expert, but yeah I would've thought nitrogen insufficiency at first by the looks of it too... (is there something that causes nitrogen lockout that could be off?)

OTOH, how long have you got to go in flower? In the plant world in general, it's not unusual for them to start shedding leaves when they're blooming out... not sure how much that applies here. But I do see leaves starting to fade towards the end of bloom alot on the forums...

They're at 2-3 weeks from harvesting.
Ultimately I'm probably going to have to invest in an electrical conductivity meter or switch out nutes for something else. No hurry for now... they seem perfectly fine... I'm sticking to my theory of low light conditions because the tops are in great shape and buds are developing nicely... also... don't forget it's four plants under a 250 watt bulb :D
