150w HPS Club: Inspirational Resource

im now a member!!!!

here are some very interesting facts i have learned:

6 26w cfls produce the SAME AMOUNT of heat as my e-cono 150hps, i left the unit together, took the glass jar off and hung it by chains, same 78* as with cfls. i was surprised in my small 2x3x3h cab

this shit is bright, like cant look at it bright, i know my 4 week flowering girls are gonna love this...

about time.......

didn't i tell you they were great

I CANT BELIEVE i waited, this will double my end product i feel 4-7 weeks left.. plus the new ones same strain, i will be able to tell the difference then for sure

Just ordered my 150 from HTG supply, hoping quick delievery, also ordered the liquid fox farm trio pack. Hoping to have some results similair to the rest of you in here. I am about to pick my second lady that i had going under cfl. Should be much better yield with the new toys.

i have bad news guys.......

my single girl??? must have gotten pollinated??? how i have no fucking idea but there are seeds in my buds. not huge black ones but def starting to grow.

im so so pissed i wanted to burn the fucking house down.

i need a pep talk....... and go!

Fuck man fuck fuck fuck....i know how excited you were when you found out she was a girl damn it man...are there seeds all over or did she go hermi on you?

seeds aint soo bad Cult, might slow the plants production down a lil, but yo'll still get some bud, and some seeds.
is it hermie or have you got/had males in the house?
If its hermied, i'd collect any flowers you can find, and use the pollen for future breeding, just snip em off as they start to look like a bunch of bananas, store in a 35mm SLR film tub...Use on other strains to make fem seeds
All is not lost
if its got a good while left to flower, i'd get some Dutch Master reverse & their penetrator asap, this will stop any more male flowers growing and save the rest of your bud. It aint hella expensive, and works pretty well in my experience using it.

no males at all in the house thats why im baffled but it was a seed in a bag of weed so i coulda been growing a hermie all along. but i know i didnt. it just just turned. and they arent all over i just saw 2 so far but i still got 2-3 weeks left.

whats the stuff frosty? and you think i should save the seeds?? im so mad guys you have no clue. god damnit

Dutch master reverse is a plant treatment that removes the male flower hormones from fem MJ plants.
Use it with their Penetrator product, to achieve best results.
BAsically, as soon as you see male flowers, or suspect its gone hermie, you can give the leaves a light mist with DM reverse + penetrator, its absorbed into the leaves as per any other foliar spray...Spray again 10 days later, and thats pretty much it...it should be free of male flowers.
Some strains are hermie prone and the slightest lil bit of stress or light leak can make them turn.... might just be a characteristic of the strain you had as bagseed.

Also bare in mind that most strains will put out a few male flowers during late flowering, its a last ditch attempt by the plant to reproduce,by whatever means possible...They kinda get late into flower and go "oh shit i havent got laid" so they do it themselves..lol
As for the seeds, yes i'd keep em, and use them..
its still a 50/50 split male or fem,the only potential prob is just that some of the fem plants may also hermie..but then again they may not.
its worth a shot, and if you can be vigilante in trying to spot male flowers, you can deal with them...
I've sprayed fems that were grown from 'hermie' seed, and sprayed them with DM reverse, a wk or so into flowering, and never had one male flower pop up..


Sorry if i'm waffling a lil, still jet lagged as hell

I would go with snows advice and flip the shit the glass is half full. It sounds like its def hermin out on you and if you snip those off you're still gonna get some good bud...and with the seeds you could do some cross breeding (haven't done it yet but god damn sounds like a lot of fun) create your own strain or two! the cultkush sounds good to me

ok so i read about that stuff and will use it if i need in the future but i am too far along to save this bitch now. i have maybe 20 days left ans the shit would only get here in a week so its not worht it this time. but there are no male flowers at all and its not a hermie.......

my guess is in the neglegent life i live i must have handles some bud that was pollinated or let my buddy do so then touch the buds while inspecting, transferring the shit. i couldnt tell they were growing until i looked really close at the bud because it is turning purple from the cold and then i spyed a dark point sticking out that looked hard so i sqeezed it and low and behold a lil while fucker just popped out. then i looked everywhere else and found another. i didnt want to rip the fuckin plant apart so thats where i stopped, but dude. i want to burn a church full of school children down. the fact that im highly volitile and bipolar does not help this one bit either

I found out yesterday that my white widow in flower ws a male had to kill him.. I do have a few others of another strain in waiting for their sex to be determined.

As they say Shite happens...

Went home at lunch and my two new 150 econos had arrived.

I have (1) in my flower room now and looking to add another maybe both if I can control the temp etc.....

This hobby is a blast...

i still want to rape a nun and cum out satans offspring

I can feel you on that cult...when you're not growing a lot and your focus is on just the one and all the time energy and love you've put into it seems like its wasted...YOU just wanna burn the mother down, but tomorrow is another day and more plants will come your way, so lets not worry about it and go smoke some hay.

(Roll one up for cult its a bad day and this is the only way to deal)

lol... dont burn the church!!!

bro, chill i doubt you have too many seeds if you've only seen a couple....
when i accidentally dropped a small pot of pollen in the grow room and it pollinated a plant i ended up with maybe 20 seeds amongst the buds... which all grew just fine and showed no hermie tendencies..
If you could see ALOT of seeds i'd say your gonna end up with a smallish yield and lots of seed, but the fact you've found a couple isnt too concerning.
If you wanna try the seeds, youre gonna have to leave the plant to continue growing until the seeds are mature and ready to drop..
If you dont care about the seeds, jut chop it when the trichs are at which ever ratio your were lookin for

Hey snow do you know what to do about pale thin growth? and what it might be?

when you say pale thin growth, what do you mean exactly?

like this?
Nitrogen (N) is primary to plant growth. Plants convert nitrogen to make proteins essential to new cell growth. Nitrogen is mainly responsible for leaf and stem growth as well as overall size and vigor. Nitrogen moves easily to active young buds, shoots and leaves and slower to older leaves. Deficiency signs show first in older leaves. They turn a pale yellow and
may die. New growth becomes weak and spindly. An abundance of nitrogen will cause soft, weak growth and even
delay flower and fruit production if it is allowed to accumulate.

Sulphur Deficiency can also make plants leaves pale, narrower than normal and the plants will get quite stretched.
does that sound more like it?
