400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

heard that kc, that d work, you gotta start small dont go head first, i just finally got where
i want to be lol

what size space you have kc?

I am using a utility closet we have; its nice size but has hot water heater and a/c unit on one side, so that's off limits (gf rules) lol. 8foot ceiling with 6ft high shelf. I have about 4' by 3 1/2' to work with. I have 7 plants in 6 pots right now (have 2 Royal Flushes in same pot). I'm lookin now for a nice sized overflow tray before I add anymore. Right now I'm using the tops of tupperware bins to catch my runoff.

Im using natural airflow and a nice size fan to keep it cool. I usually maintain around 77-78 degrees, so not an issue there. I'm pry gonna add a few more cfl's for side lighting after i figure out what i'm gonna put my pots in.

I ain't tryin to grow for fortune or fame, just to be able to smoke for free the rest of my life and pay my bills while i'm at it lol

I could probably hit 2lbs/cycle with just 1 1k HPS. Even with really low yielding strains 2 lbs should be no problem with two. I'd consider using 2 600W.
When we have the space I'll be running more than 2kW in flower just for my wife and I, though a big part of that is because we want to try oil because we've seen that heavier use helps us both.
I'm not in a medical state that allows for personal cultivation but my girls don't know they aren't supposed to be growing here. Or if they know they don't give a fuck!

, i comepletely agree, some people do not possesthe skills to bust it
open like that i know some times it hard to hit gpw 1:1

I really dislike the use of g/W as a general measure of yield. If you're comparing a SOG with no veg time and similar flower times it's fine. Once you start adding variables like how long the plant was vegged for it becomes much more complex to measure yield in terms of electric used.
I'd love to see what 4 of my Blue Dreams in 5 gal containers could do in a 4x4 area under a 1k. If I can pull a qp from a plant transplanted from a 1qt to a 3 gal container on day 0 of flower under a 400W I'm quite confident I could beat the hp/plant mark with a bigger pot and bigger root ball at the start of flower. So many grows I want to do.

Try out some Full Melt Ice Bubble Hash; no solvents, no heat; all u need is trim, bubble bags, couple of buckets, ice and slotted spoon. Shit is the bomb! Right up there with all the BHO in terms of medicinal quality, but super easy and no harsh additives. Smokes like a dab too!

Super set-up man!!! Where is the heat exhausting to?

Thanks KronicCraig
It's coming along slowly but surely!
I'll be putting ducting soon, I just put that duct fan in this morning.

Temps came down from 92 to 83-84

I'm hoping when I put the ducting to finally be under 80..

Hell ya! Take the intake ducting as low as it can go and the exhaust as high as u can (if u can't exhaust out of the room).

I'm looking to do tinctures and other extracts along the lines of what Rick Simpson oil is. Check out skunkpharmresearch.com to get an idea.
A good chunk of what we use will be cold extracted as I've found THCA to be an amazing analgesic and anti-inflammatory. Medicinal qualities often don't involve getting high. There will be plenty for that too
I prefer to do a run of dry ice kief and then make make water hash with the leftovers. I then will make extracts from the kief. It keeps all the green matter out which means that an anhydrous alcohol can be used in place or a solvent like butane and it's much easier to work with especially if you're making bulk.

Hey fellow 400w'ers.


I've weighed in the 2 FCJ clones. 42.9g total. So around 21.5g each.

Then I added the large FCJ to the scale and it weighed 196.7g.


In total the large FCJ weighed 153.8g or 5.49oz.


I also harvested the fasciation plant last night.

This was the largest fasciation cola.



Here's another pic of it.



Full weigh in and more harvest pics on my sig thread.

Great googily moogily!! Thats one helluva cola. Almost worth it to go find a curing jar that big so u don't have to disturb the bud.

I know what you mean. Lol.

Its such a shame when they get weighed to see them chopped up bud by bud before going into jars.

here is some bagseed, will let her mature a little longer 1st Grow under 400W HPS for flower and 7x20W cool white cfls made her veg She's been flowering for 10 weeks now....

Don't know why the lower leaves are going yellow, she's just had a spurt of new growth!

wtf? Really!!

in the real bud world, there is no such thing as regs...it is just mishandled, seeded weed. every single seed potentially can produce a beautiful MJ plant. only dependent on strain genetics and the way it was treated while being grown. most major farm field grows typically don't care if they get sinsemilla, only product to sell.
