Just caught up on this grow. It is awesome, I'm subbed for the rest. Can't wait to see your final outcome.

always glad to have you along.

Since I installed the scrog i realized I'm gonna have to add another week or two to my veg time but I think it'll be worth it. In the mean time I'm just making sure they get their water and that they fill up the screen. Here's a few pics:

Added a new (well it was actually from the used bin at a local pc shop) 120 mm fan for an intake. Also got an 80mm fan that I plan to use to supplement exhaust but I havent bothered mounting it yet. One step at a time Hoping this will help ventilation so I can add another 40w bulb for flowering time.

Looking good superbuddha! Your setup is very similar to mine, its cool well be flowering about the same time. You said your gonna veg for another week or two right? What is your total wattage? Im using 130w for veg and 150 for flowering.

Also, IMO, your plant definantly looks like a sativa those fan leaves are real long and slender. Im using bagseed also, i think mine is a hybrid with more indica though.

Right now I have 7 bulbs of assorted varieties... 1x40w soft white, 2x30w soft white, 2x23w daylight, 2x26w daylight for a total of 202w if i did the math right... It's honestly probably good enough, just a lil over 100 watts per plant but I just want one more bulb haha.

Originally i thought it was indica but now i'm starting to agree with you. The original leaves on the bigger, solo plant have got to be over 7 inches long now... hard to measure though i keep having to shove them under the new growth.

Yea i think I heard somewhere that for CFL's 100w per plant is sufficient, or something like 5w per square inch? So thats kinda what I was aiming for.

definitely seems to be the general rule of thumb: 100w/plant/sqft

Where can I get a "tank" fan like the one you have?

newegg or frozen cpu. insert the dot and com i believe they're just called axial fans. just look for ac powered computer fans.

also, installed the second exhaust fan tonight.





And some update pics... starting to fill the scrog nicely.

thanks man. the pots definitely didn't come like that though haha. I used a grid that came with a trim to fit carbon filter then made the grid a little bigger (originally it was like a .75"x.75" pattern) then tied it to the top of the pots. this was after lst'ing for a few weeks. I woke up this morning and like half the tops on one plant were poking through the grid... they really want to flower!

Plants look great.. I was just thinking that when i was looking at your pics. They really look like they want to flower .

Indeed, picking up some flowering nutes today, finish up lightproofing the cab, then just waiting for two specific tops to poke through the grid (just recently started training them to the far corners of the pot... this will just about complete the green canopy) then flowering here we come. Friday at the latest these babies will be under 12/12

edit: Anyone have suggestions for nutes? I was planning on getting some FF big bloom/tiger bloom, but im open to other options. What are your guys' opinions on flowering nutes?

i was in no doubt that you'd made them my friend and i was so impressed with them i forwarded a pic to someone else who was equally as impressed as i. very handy if you run a veg and a flower room... +REP all day long.... for outstanding brilliance

thanks for the rep man haha. Ya, the filter thing was sitting in my closet for a few weeks and at one point i stared at it and was like "that could be a scrog". In the 20 minutes before the lights came on i cut them up and then bam, 40 minutes later the plants were beneath a scrog under the light.

Also, just purchased some FF big bloom+tiger bloom. Anyone have any suggested feeding schedules other than the one on their website? Should i start feeding them before or after i put them into flowering? Advice is greatly appreciated

i can't help with the FF stuff i'm affraid .... we don't get that stuff here
