winkdogg420 said:

My bill is about $100 heavy compared to last year but we are using the same amount of power it went up because we are forced to buy our electric from a different cmpany this year!! I pay .019 kwhr more for a service fee from the new company !!! Not cause im using more ... Worth a look you cant change it but at least you know its not just you so you wont stick out

my rate last year this time was .035 total now its.053 kwhr with the new service charge!!!!!!!!!

wow.... mine comes out to .20 kwhr
ur is mad cheap
do they charge you for "delivery" of the power as well ?

Ok sorry i had my 0.000 where i needed my 00.00 its 0.35+0.19 delivery from the new power co. Total 0.54 kwhr duh.. My bill would be great with those other numbers !!!!$8.56 a month haha once i finally get my balance paid off i will ask them to switch me to a cheaper supplier...

I still havn't gotten a full month bill since I have had all my lights on. I'm not really looking forward to seeing that!

My bill was only $120 per month running the over 1000 watts of CFL's.

Let's see how much it costs me to run a 1000 watt and two 250 watt HPS'

well i chopped down that purple bush last nite ! shes gotta be around 2zs ..... thatll make it 5+ zs for this month .... WoW

ill take some pics of her hanging in my closet later.

so now i have some room to add some more plants.... but i donno what i want to put in there.... ill make a decision tonight

also fired up my dehumidifier ....... my 2 rooms not being completely separate is hurting me some on this ...
veg room 62F 85%
flower room 65F 70-50% im gonna try to keep it around 50%..

be back with pics later

EDIT ... on a efficiency side note...
i figure i've chopped down about half my room this month so a rough estimate of double that would be 10z total yield from my light
which would be about .7grams per watt.

this is the way everyone figures out grams per watt right ?
its not too exact when you think about how long the plants were in flowering for.....this would be better but i know no one does it like this ..
400w x 12hours x days = power / yield

way cool man,thanx for the hempypornos,i luv em,peace...................pipes

your welcome !

heres the purp bush hangn on my patented hangers

I thought the patent was still pending on those ..haha

Very sweet weedman, sounds like your getting some nice yields from those bushes. Your giving me some hope man. I gotta get mine into some more soil, I'm getting pretty confident the biggest ones have to be root bound, its the only thing I can figure. The last 2 waters were pretty much plain water, I added 1/2 tsp of open sesame on the last one, but the one before was plain water. Its mostly just 2 plants. The run off ph was lookin good after watering. I'm gonna try watering with alittle epsom salt on thursday, and see if it helps. I'm also gonna do the transplant thursday, I just don't get it. Those 2 plants just havn't grown in over a week now. Any other ideas man, did I miss something?

thanks man ! , i got 2 big bushes in flower now, then 2 more to get rid of... then i can focus on my smaller bushes

i added a HG that was topped 2nd node (trying this 4 cola method)
and i added either a WW or DP in a 32ish ounce container last nite

im not sure what you got goin on TC, i have a clone in veg in 16oz container ... that wont stop growing i just had to chop her down some again last nite ... like 18" high in that cup (i would think this was root bound too but is growing good)

now i do have one other clone that if topped a shit load and its still in the 16oz cup...... now it doesn't appear to be growing much and is kind of droopy .... im gonna re-plant her 2night and possibly put her into flowering .but i will try to take a before, after and a pic of the roots

I love the way your bushes always look man. The plants that are still growing are starting to really take on the shape I was hoping for. My WW looks sweet, and the Kush has almost doubled in size in the last week and a half. The first mango is nice and bushy, but teh second mango is almost twice as tall, I just topped it today.

I'm thinking it might have happened because i have done so much trimming on the plants right from the beginning to shape them. I guessing that the roots have grown massive in response. The bags of soil feel really solid on the sides, so I hope this fixes it. I'm also done trimming them for about 3 weeks. I'm not gonna trim anything else until then, and then I'll trim out the lower growth to focus on the main colas. Well sorry for hijacking your thread bro, just bouncin some ideas off ya.

wow. still not all the way done reading. but thats whatsup. +rep 4sure.. but...u should tell me how 2 +rep lol

Scales on the right where the post number is.

imo you should trim those bottom branches now,why let them steal your plants food if your gonna chop them off in three weeks anyway?? also in that three weeks time they can heal and all the nutes they would have gotten will go towards growing your goodies

just a thought

I'm with you wink, they are finally starting to show sex, so I think I will be trimming the bottom growth this weekend when I put the others into flower. I just didn't want to stress them out any more then I have been. Unfortunatly I think I may have 3 males. We'll see for sure in the next couple days. Latta man. TC

thanks for stopn by guys !

so i replanted this clone for you TC, its been in this cup for at least 2 months ... prolly longer, you can see how the roots look ... a little cramped but not too bad
i put her in a 1/2 gal and moved her to flowering along with a couple HGs ... if i remember correctly.
also was admiring my WW in the 32oz cup ... shes been in there for a month now i think... budding strong and healthy ! i am very impressed with the seedsman white widow
the 32oz blueberry is doing better than the first bb clone... hopefully this one will stay better

i might snap some pics of those 2nite along with my 2 durbans sharing a pot... they are at least a month in too i believe

my veg room is still out of control ... i wish i started these mothers in smaller containers

Looks nice man. Those plants look pretty good size for the size of the containers. I'll take some pics of the roots on the big purple power tomorrow. I'm finally getting around to this transplant. I'm gonna be putting my first batch of WW clones right into flower this weekend. They took root and got put into 18 oz cups early this week. I'm gonna put them into 2 liter bottles, and flower them with the mothers. I still have another 3-4 WW clones rooting, along with the kush and mango clones. Should be sweet I hope. Yours sure look nice man. Oh I've been meanig to ask this, what is the HG? I can never remember.

The best part about the small containers is no wasted space ..even know giant bushes produce tons of bud i still like fillng up a smaller plant to the max i think they look cool too

i am gonna try that with some of the barb seedlings wink. I have them in 16 OZ cups now.

But I am worried I could get ALOT more big bigger containers. The 33 day old barb was root-bound already in 8" pots!

I got some crazy nice equipment. I will post some pics asap so watch for the update!

sounds good the bw likes to take off but i just finished 3 in the 20oz pots they were tight but not "bound" i guess the big lights might make growth alot more vigerous and the roots probably get fatter in that case...sorry 420 for bsingg
