2x2x5 Grow Lab - Reserva Privada Headband ... [ 100w T5 veg / 250w HPS flower ]

haha thats exactly what I TRIED to do with my headband but I put a little too much stress on the stalk one night and it snapped so I had to deal with what I had. mine are really starting to swell. you will have a massive yield.

Jeers looks great I hope I get as much help as you did when I start lol hopefully this weekend!!

Can't say I haven't done that before!

I give my self rules...Like: No serious training / bending until 3+ hours after watering... And ALWAYS keep masking tape within arms reach from your garden.... I can't tell you how many branches I've had to tape up when they tore or got cut up..

Can I see some pics of your ladies?

You've got a long road ahead but a rewarding one.. Zip ties are your friends! I hold pretty much everything up with them.. That and some wirecutters might save you some time..

of course. i have 3 strains. the headband, jekyll passion(black domina and Flo) and yumbolt (freebie, using it for hash). ill show you 2 of jekyll and 2 of my headband. the trichomes arent so much getting out onto the bigger leaves like yours but I think the actual buds are covered. again, I wish my light was more concentrated on the headband, but oh well.

pics in order - Jekyll group shot, headband group shot, jekyll close up, headband close up

Hmm yeah I see what you mean... The jekyII looks more like my #2 headband in regards to resin... but your headband looks like my #1 headband..

the #2 is much much frostier than #1 and I actually use that plant for a lot of close up frost covered pictures.. like this

#2 from day 31

right.. i like your 'grow lab' better too. i think it matches the footprint of my hood better. I learned a lot in the past few months...

but excellent job thus far. this will be a fun finish to keep an eye on

I'm definitely a grow lab whore now... they sold me

thanks..!

Hey verde after doing this grow do you think you could have squeesed in a 400W?

I wanted to ask the same but I thought you also did work with the 250.. I just feel like 250 didnt cut it for me, not in the 2x4 at least.

i answered the question a few times before.... a long while back though

i dont think 400w would work... youd need to have the same size hood.. and i already do 82F on the warmer days with my suppliment CFL.. I have to drop the AC down to like 69-70 on the really warm days just to keep the temps down.. Other than that on a regular day I keep up normal AC and the tent stays at a comfy 77-78F..

i find environment to be more important than the extra intensity... if you can keep the temps down lower with good ventilation youll have happy plants... if you really need a 400w then get a 2.5x2.5x6 tent.. .. or just get a 3x3x Y with a 600w hood..

250w works perfect in 2x2x5 with a few extra light bulbs..

Good info. so if i get a lumatec dimable ballast can I dim it to like 300W? lol

I wouldn't be one to give advice on dimmable lights..

If it were me I'd just get a 250w light up above and position extra lights around where they're needed..

Or again just get a slightly larger tent with a slightly larger fan to pull air out and it's gravy .

Thing is i dont have the room for a bigger tent and im planning on getting a dimmable digital ballast system for a steal at my local Hydro store thats a 400W dimmable . ill try stuff out lol im basing it all on this grow tho lol. once again GREAT WORK!

If you had an extra half foot on each side you could do a 400w no problem is all im saying..

Cant wait to see the finished budz....I was gifted some headband from a friend and we decided try her outdoors this year

I put a 400w in my dr60. The ducting is a little tight of a fit and pushes out the ends of the tent, but it works! my lady is lovin it.

for you sir. if you want a differn't angle or something let me know. Or i can just try and describe it for you.

Verde those are smoking!! Good job bro!



Finally got a TI Nail, v3.. I have to admit it is pretty legit... But honestly i dont think it's all that much better then a well seasoned quarts nail...


Just nice to know it's never going to break.

oil is where its at. my friend (because I dont have a dome lol) just got a new Ti nail and its the shit. i wouldnt say it gets hotter faster or anything but it definitely STAYS hot for a good amount of time letting you hit the whole dab. thats basically the only difference I see in em.
