The room dimensions are 7' H X 3.5' W X 5.5' L. My exhaust is 4" duct about 15' long. I have two 4" SYMBANG in line which I think push 150 CFM each. My intake is just a 4"X 6" vent on the bottom with the ballast and a fan on the other side pushing air thru. It's a cool room sitting on concrete so that helps. I'd don't have air conditioning or anything like that but it's cool here at night and during the day it rarely climbs above 80F. Winter will be alot cooler and I'm thinking about getting a 600 HPS for my next flower as a result. Either that or get air conditioning next year.

In case your wondering I don't use a carbon filter.

what would you liek to know about it?

At what trichome ratio would you harvest? 50/50 to amber/clear? How many times should I top it next time and when?

2 out of 3 are turning purple. Thought it was in the genes, may be in the temp...or both who knows.

Kinda blurry but lots of crystals none the less.

Pic two is the purps, the others are jilly bean.

Givershit what type of feeding regimen are you on, nutes, soil, light?? How often are you feeding, are they nute sensitive???

I'm using Botanicare's Pure Blend Pro Bloom. They're rooted in a soiless mix with about 40-50% coco, 30-40% perlite and the rest is vermeculite. They've been taking water every 4-5 days now. I keep the undisolved solids around 2300-2500,that's about 1500 ppm' or so and that depends on how much they're eating which seems to be alot lately.

They seem to love this organic shit. Neither strain seems to be too sensitive to anything really which surpised me a bit because I've heard they're both a bit finicky.

Ok well close to my getup. Im using all of Roots Organics line including Humboldts own Ultra Snow storm. All organic but the USS but thats ok. Ill have them in 5 gallon pots and puting 1800w in a 7x7 area. What size did they go into flower??

My space is about 3.5 x 5, five plants all of them 8 weeks in veg before flower. I trimmed them all differently so they were all different sizes. The un trimmed plants were about three feet tall.

How much light??

The bcbd mendo is doin alright. Biggest bud so far, but who knows the jill's may catch up.

Yo can you snap a couple other pics of your Jilly, recent new pics?? Im so interested in everything about the strain. My order was already sent out, so I shall be recieving them soon and Ill have a sikkass grow of 20 jillybean. Yeah I want to know all I can lol. Im going to make a bitcihin journal on video and photo. It will be my brother and I, There will also be a growroom setup along with the journal. Thanks Haze2

Beautiful plants! Man those have such nice dark green and frosted leaves, those white hairs look like static electricity flowing off. Shweeet. Hella nice set up to, Getting 4 feet vertical indoor I'd say is good, considering i'm vertically challenged in my condo haha. Plus stealth. Keep up the hard work though! It will pay off in the end with some serious herb.

3 weeks left, gettin stinky.

Database error, sorry for the double post.

So do you think they stand up to being heavy yielders??

Wait and see i guess. The mendos are definately bigger so far. She needs to be cut down into a little bush for a larger yield for sure. Single stem hasn;t worked out that great, but then again that was the only one that got thrip too.

Ok, Subcool recommends topping her short and she will grow into four main colas?? Ill try doing that 1st time around. So you say that you let them grow just naturally no topping or fimming??
