Good shit rufus! How tall is she from the soil? I think shorter plants produce the best crops under these 250's

you can scrog out a half a pound under the right conditions

with 250 watts

Did some cropping, and trying to keep them low until all the tops are level. Switched over to 12/12 hps, have the light at 12" off the tops & going to let them grow to the light and pull down the faster growing ones. Temp is pretty constant, 81 - 77, humidity stays around 50%.
Last pic looks the best so far, very full level growth.. That was the first one I cropped, 2nd set of 5 blade. The rest were a week or so later. The 3rd one is still a bit scrawny, but was just topped last week.
Once I sex them I will put them in the 3 gal pots. They all look healthy to me. Dont mind any deformed leaves, was a little crazy with the scissors

Old and New.. here's a pic of curing bud from the last dwarf MM grow and the MM seedlings that I just moved to the cab (250w CMH)

I LOVE little baby plants . Moreso than little baby humans, or little baby puppies.

Dear god, another heat wave. 35C and I don't know how much more my garden can take.

Yeah it's pretty hot here to in the Midwest 95 degrees and up everyday. �� hot

@rufusgrower can we get a overhead shot of that plant please. is that 4way lst you used on that plant? if so i am super excited about my next babies coming up their all 4way lst'd. heres a pic of them.

hey grazz cmh huh. do those work in digi ballast? hear good things about those lamps.
heat over here is in the mid 100s 95f is a cool day like today only 96f.lol
nice hempy ic they are using lots of N rite now.

Shit 100s wow now that's hot

my room hit 108 a couple weeks ago!

Heat is killing everyone it seems like. Yesterday I unplugged my 250 and replaced it with 16 cfls. temps only dropped about 5 degrees. running out of options except getting a small ac. not really in my budget though.

Sorry to hear about the heat everyone's experiencing! High 70s/low 80s in norcal

some recent pics of my girl @ 17 days flower. Starting to see lots of little baby trichs

Looked it up just to be sure CBT, CMH does not work on digital ballast .. (I'm still running a remote ballast that I put together from a ballast kit.) But yeah, good things, light spectrum, lower heat, one bulb for veg and flower. It's been hot here too, but I'm in a basement and drawing air for my cool tube from a semi-cool room and keeping the heat down to *82 max.

thx grazz thats what i heard i just didnt know. yeah i try to keep the canopy at 83 or less, rest of the grow area stays around 76.about a week or 2 i will get a light mover then i can put the girls even closer.im going with a 4' rail. i want to see how short of a time i can get between harvest while staying with 250w and yeilding a decent amount each harvest.im sure every other week would be too hard to do. right now about 25-45days between harvest.maybe i need to sit down and do a little math.

The heatwave made me lose my B-52 clone. moist humidity dome, only 4 small CFLs in the hospital box, lots of air in and out but the heatwave was just too much today.
