250w HPS Club And Help Guide

I have a set of those as well. As mentioned they work for damn near anything. They have micro serrations in the blades.
Not cheap for a nice pair either.

I personally like the extended handle for what I do, makes it a bit quicker. I use my normal handled pair around the house, my wife loves 'em too.

Yeah, found a pair but it doesn't have the extended handle. I'll have another look in the tool bags though now that I know what I'm looking for

So I haven't done a photo update for awhile, mostly because I was embarrassed by my own stupidity.

Here's my kids and some info about them.


KAYA GOLD - (Nirvana)



This is my trooper, No matter what I do wrong she just keeps growing.

I've tied off 15 spots and I'm going to turn them all into tops, Kaya has been LST'd to quite a degree as you can see, and I'm not done yet.

B-52s (Feminized)



I tried supe rcropping these and ended up breaking two out of 3 stems. I left the last one alone so I could have a control. They've been heat stressed to the limit and nute burned and pH locked out.


MEDICAL BOX



In my med box I've got a B52 on the left and a Jamaican bud on the right. the half dead clone is a Kaya clone but I'm fairly sure it's toast.

They lookin thirsty..

Yea, I took that just before I watered them. I used regular strength nutes, the ones that cause pH lock out and used baking soda as a pH buffer. I'll see if that helps this round. I want to trust in my nutrient decision but so far it's failing me horribly.

majek i would say 2-4 weeks. loos good man, are they densing up ?if they r dense that should be some good weight.

Thanks, the buds are rock hard to the touch but they have some more swelling to do. The blueberry genetics are really showing now, they just keep getting taller but they are starting to crown so it shouldn't be too much longer. If I get 3-4 oz per plant I will be happy.

When i supercrop i like to pinch the stem to break it up before bending it. That seems to take out the risk of snapping the stem alot. hope this helps

It also helps to water your plants about a half hour before you decide to supercrop them, or do any kind of training really. It seems to make them more pliable.

I'm just about to look at the for the first time after using pH'd GO line nutes. I hope their not all dead.

If it's not one thing, it's another fuckin' thing.

I burnt my plants again.

First morning in a while it actually looked like they are slowing in vertical growth.. All are about 16 - 20" from soil now, pretty nice canopy.. I moved them around a little, total area right now is 30" x 24"

On 5mL of FN Bloom now, koolbloom on the way and will be adding that too. Still seeing traces of nute burn, mostly the Mg / Mn leveling out, I was too low, then too high. Runoff now is right around 6.6 so hoping it all clears up in the next week...

How much can the bleaching affect my plant? My new hps was a little too close from the look of the canopy but i was wondering if it is reversible.

Do you have any pics of it? Just want to be sure its bleaching and not just yellow growth. New growth is yellow to begin with, and the difference between it and the older growth makes it stand out.

I was worried for a while with mine during the stretch, but its just growing fast. Mine went 1-2" a day from 12/12 so keep an eye on yours, you will need to raise the light daily if your going to try and keep it close. I would raise my light as soon as it came on, put it about 6 - 8" from the highest, next morning it would be 4 - 6" from the light....

Mine have been as close as 4" so far from the bulb, my setup & airflow is similar to yours.

I think i may have overreacted because of my ignorance on hps and bleaching.
It looked much more yellow yesterday when i was inspecting it for heat problems. But while i took this plant out of the tent to take a photo of it I heard a crash in my room and returned to my mazar kush split in two at the site of my topping. quick response on my part i chopped up an old fishing pole to use as stakes and zip tied the high pressure area while leaving room for stem growth. By trapping the moisture with tape i hope to create a scar similar to super cropping rather than losing the entire plant. I will let you be the judge on if it is saveable since i have never tried splitting a stem before and therefore have no idea what the outcome will be.

I just broke my favorite bong.

Time will tell, from the looks of that pic I would not think its a complete loss.

And they do not look burnt or bleached to me. That slight yellowing on the tips of the new growth could be from over fert or a Ph imbalance. I can also see slight signs on a couple lower leaves, so be sure to test your runoff.

Good lord man, did you walk under a ladder or break a mirror lately? Talk about having a bad week...

Sometimes the sorrows of others will make you feel better. My buddy was out with his girl, had a half z of dank he was bringing home, but she wanted to stop and eat. So they stopped for dinner, somewhere during that time the half z fell out of his shorts and by the time he realized it it was gone. Makes me cringe, Im a light smoker so a half would last me a couple months...

I'm just wondering what I did to deserve this karma.

If you feel bad just look at my mazar plant that got trashed from my fan =( maybe it can ease your pain lol

RC, that plant will be just fine. What fell on it?
I had a fan fall on my Bubblegummer a week or so ago. Broke the stem BAD, I mean barely still attached. I grabbed a straw and liced it the long way and snapped it around the broken stem. She's lookin great now!
