3rd Grow, 1000 watt HPS. One Pound or Bust

nice grow i am subed in

Day 57 Veg, Prob veg two more weeks, I'm going to transplant because I think some of them are getting rootbound and then let them veg for another two weeks. The autoflowers are looking great. They are about 17 days old or so. No sign of sex yet. Some of the plants look a little sad in the video because I just finished fimming one, supercropping one and trimming the lst'd one more to open up the bud sites.

Shitty quality video but I'll try to get some pics up later.

Day 57 pics.


Pics 1 & 5 are the big devil autos. I'm going to give them about another two weeks to catch up befoer switching to flower.

Pic 2 is the mexican bag seed. Starting to recover since it's first feeding.

Pic 3 are the guatamala and belize bagseeds that will be transplanted outdoors soon. They haven't been payed attention to too much and have just been getting water.

Pic 4 is a PK that has been fimmed today. It always seems to be really droopy before lights out and very perky when I turn the lights on so it looks a little sickly but isn't

Pic 6 is a PK that has been supercropped today

Pic 7 is a slightly lst'd and supercropped PK

Pic 8 is my best LST'd PK. It looks a little droopy now due to trimming and taking pictures before lights out but it has about 14 visible tops from top and should come out fill out nicely with two more weeks veg.

Last plant is my healtiest. Has been supercropped and has 6 or so dominant colas as of right now but theres alot of shoots at the bottom catching up as well. It will likely be my heaviest yielder.

Looking for one pound. Any idea on how much longer I should veg. The last plant is about 18 inches tall now. I know they didn't stretch barely at all last time which is why I'm choosing a longer veg sinve purple kush is 100% indica.

I'm hoping another week or two the autos should be tall enough for me to switch to 12/12 i don't wanna lose yield on them.

Thats hard to say. Youre prob right about 2-3 weeks
I'd prob be LST'ing them or have them under a screen to spread them out and get some light to the lower growth but thats just me.
The smaller ones need to veg a bit longer. They still look a bit droopy. U ever get a moisture meter?
Check that soil. Still looks like a watering problem

how many plants do you have going all together ??? Id like to hit a pound... Someday

14 but 3 are going outside soon as I said they are always a little droopy before lights out.also I think they might be ready for a transplant

ok , thats alot more than I have. But good luck and I hope you hit 1.5lbs ... Def transplant them if you can ... So how do I sub to a thread ??? Sorry probally a dumb question but I always forget to look around for that

sounds like you on the right path

If you have 14 plants then there should not be much of a problem to get a pound. Thats a little over an oz per plant.
In a good scrog I would be able to get a pound with 3-4 plants with 4-6 weeks of veg.
But I prefer to have fewer plants that produce more. I don't want 20 plants that will give me the same yield as 4 plants. Thats just me though.

The pks are known to be small yieldeta and only five are big enough to be flowered there are five small autos which o doubt I'll yield an ounce each I'll be building a small veg cab soon to throw the cloned in and start a few of the other strains I'm thinking exodus cheese and superbud prob just use eight 23 watt cfls

Looking good dank, my babies are doing well so far, will have todays pics posted of my grow later on.

Stop on by and check out the project.

Thanks blu

Day 59 since the largest plants broke surface.

Transplanting both of the largest plants from 2.5 gallons. They are going to share a large rubbermaid which with about 10 gallons of soil and I will be vegging another two weeks.
I'm also transplanting one of the others in a 2 gallon to a 4 gallon DIY Airpruning pot. I cut half about 50 half inch holes around the sides and bottom of the pot and will be lining it with black screening .

Feeding day today. I still haven't flushed, they have been getting nutes for the past 5 weeks without a break. They haven't showed any salt build up so I'm going to continue feeding tonight and flush before flower. Any opinions?

Hey, here are some pics from day 59.


Had an unfortunate happening in the grow tent today. A plastic empty bago f soil caught win from the fan and blew into my 1000 watt hps bulb. It was only on it for a few seconds but there is burned plastic on about 15% of the bottom part of the bulb. I'm sure it won't affect the light dispersion that much but it's pretty stinky in the grow room due to the plastic being baked onto the bulb. I really hope the bulb holds out for this grow as I don't have money to replace it.


I tried turning it off and removing it but it didn't work...I'm hoping it won't turn the bulb black. Any suggestion?

very nice plants can't wait to see the budzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks, two of the big devil autos are starting to show sex. I will likely be flipping the lights to 12/12 at day 70.

Should I be concerned with the small amount of plastic left on the bulb? Will it smell like burned plastic everytime I turn on my light?

I will prob order a new bulb for flowering because I've wanted to try Hortilux or a high quality one but will this last for another three weeks with plastic melted on 15% of it?
