PocketsOnSwole · Dec 13, 2010

So I'm a little over 4 weeks into veg with these 2 bigger plants in 5 gallon buckets and about a week less for the smaller plant in the cooler.

-I'm using a 150 watt hps light, two 2' long T5s, and one 42 watt CFL.
-3 unknown strains, just bagseeds a friend gave me.
-Fox farm nutrients
-2 five gallon buckets
-2 pumps
-1.5 L cooler
-safety blanket on walls

I am thinking about buying a 150W HPS for my stealth grow. Does it put off allot of heat?

PocketsOnSwole · Jan 2, 2011

welcome everybody glad to have you along for the ride.

@ devero - the 150 doesnt put off much heat at all i could lower it to about 6" above my plants if i wanted to

Here's an update from today. Good news is 2 of the 3 plants are female, the plant that was in the cooler was a male so I hope I got it out in time. Anyways here's some pics :leaf:

Nice! another 150W dwc grow. Been lookin at scroging my dwc garden. Subbed. I'm interested to see how this works out for ya bro.
Are you going to weave the tops back under the screen to expose more bud sites or let them keep growing up past the screen like that?
either way looks good so far, keep it up.

had some problems with the lid of our bucket, the plant fell through..so we replaced the lid, and took the scrog off so we can reposition higher up and spread out the canopy.. got some good pics of the ladies while they were out...enjoy :leaf:

Here are my plants at day 55 of flowering. I think the buds are really small for their age. What do you guys think? Can I do anything besides co2 and bigger light? And how much longer should I flower? I was thinking 3-4 more weeks still to let em fatten up. Anyways here's some pics

TheJointProject · Feb 24, 2011

The smaller buds are because of your light. More power = bigger, denser buds. When i used a 150 most of my buds looked like that and were still fluffy. have you thought about putting a few CFL's in there to help supplement extra light? just a thought.
as far as how much longer you should flower for, lot your trichs tell you when it's ready, and ONLY your trichs. Get a 60x magnifier if you don't already have one, well worth the $12 I paid for mine.

BIGGER lights!! Also, they do look done, NOW, but get a magnifier at Radio Shack and check the trichs, like he said. Let them go too long and you'll degrade the THC.
