How too Harvest 1/2 pound with 250w+LST!

Happy new year mate....

I like it dog. You have set yourself a goal And I are going to reach it 1 way or the other. wtf. It all looks good from here you've done a nice job. No I just have to find the right 250 watt or 400 watt lighting system for the right price. Then I can go off to the races

Just caught up with the whole grow, very well done with the WW...

I bet the Black Widow will be even more intense...

Just curious, what brand of 250 mh and hps bulbs do you use??

Anyway, subbed for sure!

Reading through your grow man that bitch is a beast. Niceeeeee! + rep to you. Can't wait for final weight. I saying 8oz and 1/2 gram. Meet your mark

Well The Bulbs I used for this White Widow Grow were, 250w Hortilux Blue (MH) for vegging, and 250w Hortilux Super HPS (HPS) for flowering. These Bulbs are amazing! May be a little high in price, but all worth it for me. WHY? MY BUDS ARE SEXY! LOL Since I can't really go any bigger in HOODS, like a 400, I said Let me try and find the best bulb for my 250w and I think I found them! There are so many other cheaper bulbs on the market but this works very well for me.

That's what I thought, Hortilux or Digilux, figured it had to be one of the two...

Either way, You've got me re-thinking LST...

Can't wait for some more updates!

Mow it down and make room for the next crowd.

Do it Friday. Dooooo eeeeeeeeeeet

Now it's becoming harder and harder too not cut this plant down. All trichs cloudy and a few amber trichs on the sugar leaves. The smell the plant is giving off during this flushing is amazing. I wanna sleep in the room all day. I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and chop. I need everyone's advice here. Please help

If all the trichs are cloudy and some are starting to turn amber that means the thc content in the trichromes is starting to degrade, if you want the couchlock high you want to let them ripen up a bit and get more amber. If you'd like a more uplifting, head high you want to harvest now while all the trichs are cloudy. It's really up to you at this point. THC content is peaking when the trichs turn cloudy though so keep that in mind. Also, watch for the calyxes to swell all the way down the plant. You can lose a lot of yield if you harvest early, the buds really pack on the weight in the last few weeks. Figured id throw that in since this IS a 1/2 lb goal. I'd go no less than 8 weeks. You want the hairs to start to recede back into the bud.

very nicely done...look forward to seeing more of the same.

Wow del, nice to see you here. I'm thinking about embarking on a 12/12 quest myself in a few weeks. A friend of mine from another forum went the 12/12 route and had great results. I follow the 12/12 thread here regularly. Thanks

WOW. AMAZING. WHAT AN LST. THIS IS THE MONSTER THAT MAY PRODUCE ME THAT 1/2 POUND. ONLY TIME WILL TELL!

This Plant Is a Black Widow. I transplant her into a 5 gallon bucket 3 weeks ago preparing for flower. This plant is only under CFL's. Yeah I know amazing for stupid CFL's, I am using 2-150w 6500k. She soon will be under the 250w HPS. I have lost track of veg time. Lets see what my 250w does to this plant. I have a trimming to do at the top of plant before she goes into Flower. I would like an even Canopy. ITS A MOSTER

STAY TUNED!!

nice work bro....

make sure you visit, post pics and let us know whats happening.......any of us will be glad to help if needed mate.....

Hey Doggy! Just saw your thread. Your LST job is AMAZING! One of the best I have ever seen. I hoping for your 8 oz's. Imo, you would have that no prob with a 400w. Even more with a 600! You have so much surface area exposed to the light. Incredible job.

Here's my LST project. G13 Lab's Pineapple Express. Shes been veging for a little over 50 days now. Topped right above the second node and LST'd for 5 weeks. She's under a 400w HPS. Hopefully I can get atleast a quarter pound from this baby. What do you think? 1'1" tall and 1'8" wide.
