- Hey guys this is my first grow,
I have a 600w HPS with an air cooled hood.
Will be making my own Carbon filter.
Cupboard is about 140cm wide (4.5 feet), 180cm (6 feet) high and 50 cm (1.6 feet) deep.
Will be using uncle bens topping technique for 4 main colas and thinking of going 6 plants vegged in a smaller cupboard with a 150w MH for Approx 4 weeks.
I Have some seeds from a friend, WW and ak 47 germinating ATM.
Rotation will be, Veg for 4 weeks then take clones to restock smaller cupboard. have 3 plants at first one one side and flower for 4 weeks. then when the second set of clones are ready (4-5 weeks) Fill the other side of the cupboard. Continue system on a half harvest every 4/5 weeks.
If i need more time for my Clonies to get size i plan on harvesting my main 4 colas and dropping the light to chunk up the smaller fuzzy buds maybe for a week just to fill the gap.
I am aware that the cupboard is small, but i would really like to fit 6 plants in with 4 colas each.
With said veg time of 4-5 weeks how do you think i will go? also and i know its hard to say but roughly how much per plant should i be aiming (or hoping ) to get with these given times.
Growing in a Soil/Perlite with and using Jack's classic nutes.
Any tips are more than welcome whether it's soil tips, nute tips, ANY tips
Thanks guys!
( i have posted this as a seperate thread aswell but thought the 600 club might be a good place to ask! )

hi chromer, here is a good place to start as many of us have different growing techniques that all lead to an ultimate result.
DANK!
one piece of advice i could give would be be careful not to veg the plants too big before you flip them, in a space like that 6 bushes may be a bit too tight. when flowering a plant that has grown from seed they tend to stretch a lot after switching to bloom, cuttings from the same plant will still stretch but not nearly as much as the first generation from seed.
another would be try to keep it all the same strain and cutting if possible, it makes life a lot easier imo.
i don't grow in soil but man here do, if you get an oz of bud per gal of soil used you are doing well.

Hey GHB thanks for the reply, Yeah i figured she will be getting a bit tight but i would like to try for 6. Ill just havta keep that veg time down as much as I can and tweak as i go i guess. The only other big problem i have run into is heat but i think with the cooling hood and a 6 inch exhaust plus other tweak i can make she should be stable!
Here's hoping anyhow, but its all just a learning process and im fking excited haha
Do you think 2 gallon pots would suffice for that time frame?
Peace.

Also bear in mind it may take your seedlings a fair bit longer than 4 weeks to get to a stage where you can get multiple clones.
Hey welsh, yeah definately something i will have to try and work out aswell.
With topping that should give me some more height room and some more time.
Do you think i can get a clone off a 4-5 week old sucker under a 150w MH? (not a seedling) mm timing will sure be a little difficult because i will need extra for the clones to root.

Topping will most def help with the hight issues, check out uncle bens method on here. It does work.
Also you can try bending / LST training if high is an issue, its not that hard, just use string and clip them over.
I think you may struggle at 4 weeks for cuts. 6, maybe. Depends how dialled in your set up is and how vigorous your growth is.
For cuttings I'd put them under a CFL/T5 light as a MH is quite intense, although a 150w is not as bad as a 600!

Do you think if i run my 150 watt and possibly just shade it down initally so they dont get hit too hard it would be okay? if not i can get a cfl arranged for the cuttings. Cos to build a clip on cloth shade will cost me a tonne less than a cfl setup haha!
Im thinking about getting a 10 week flowering strain to help out with the timing problems heh, any suggestions? gotta keep it short is the only real prerequisite, im having a look now anyhow.
And Dankness obviously
Thanks for the help!

Hi Gang, just popping in to see the going's on. Just finished wiping my chin after seeing Rasclot's DOG, WOW! Its took me a wee while or should i say ' my brother ' to find my seed stash and got a few DOG pip's off to D.G.T that were selfed from my DOG that was famous around here and to those who remember her she was a BEAST. By far the strongest plant ive had the pleasure to grow, and had her around for a wee while, early 2011 im sure. I got a pocket of pip's out the first one but the trait cloned out in the first snip's i took not returning, just kicked out one or two every other plant.
This is one of the plant's i grew from the selfie's:
As i said, they grow same plant but strong like seed's do compared to cutting's and nice shaped without any hassle

They can hardly seem to give these 5-gal buckets away for $2.78 each (no taxes added either) at Lowe's....
... so I bought four of them.

I jus t put in an order for more s33ds from bb. I got Blue pit, Psyhco killer, Deep Psycosis, and dog. I need a reason to run my extra 600 to heat the new shed and I ran every thing out and plan on cloning these strains for outdoor next summer. I've been real happy with the strains I've ran from them already. Peace!
Now off to early morning hw and studying. 4 weeks left in the semester and past my midterms with an A average in all my classes. My goal is A's going into the finals so if I bomb them I can still pass with B's.

plus ive got some heavy hitters just starting (kens tahoe og x og clone)(sannie kokush clone)and a casey that will be going in next so it will be interesting to see in comparison how the final product stacks up.
