Newb Closet Coco Grow, 400w MH+HPS

Even though I'm not quite finished with harvest and I plan to continue this journal for the clones, I want to thank everyone who follows this grow and contributed to my success. User, BK, HHM, plantDOC, B. THC, pigpen, Blinky, Hatch, Trustduran, Azadeh, thanks to everybody. Sorry if I left anyone out.

But I especially want to thank and dedicate this grow to Tetra, without whom it really wouldn't have turned out so well. Seriously bro, sometimes the simplest encouragement or comment from you was all that kept this grow going when I got discouraged. This bud's for you!!!!

So I was tired of raising 8 lights every time I wanted to water in the veg closet. I cut out holes in some plywood and now only four strings need to be adjusted to move all eight lights up and down. I added a fan which brought temps from low 80s to low 70s. I'm hoping this stops the weirdo growth I've been having - leaves with single sections that grow all twisted. I also snapped some flower day 45 pics in the other room. Happy 4th of July everybody!!!!

Hey check out my grow journal I am using CFls and those same types of hoods, I managed to get 4 bulbs under each hood using an extender and 3 Y splitters per hood. I really like the raising/lowering platform you built. Skip to the last page of my journal for the best stuff. Last 4 pages is good pics.

Yeah, I only have one strain going so far. Everything you see in this thread is white lady.

Holy shit. I am at the end of a joint with two ingredients: A marble size ball of scissor hash from yesterday that I crumbled over about half a gram of just pure frosty calyxes. The room is spinning Once this stuff fully dries and cures it will have people

I'm going to chop the other plant and take clones off the clones tomorrow. I'm going to use as many of the one-gallon bags as I can. I have 18 but I only want clones from the daughters of the topped plant AKA the acid guzzler. I'll get them rooted, veg for a week or so, and then into flower after donating a few more clones. How many times can I clone clones? Is something lost in translation or am I actually improving the potency by picking only the best mothers?

Just finished reading your whole grow journal... that shit was truly ridiculous. I have been trying to learn as much as I can about growing and i'm pretty sure that journal was better than most articles. Congrats.. enjoy your harvest

Damn, reading the whole thing must have taken hours! lol. Grow journals are the best way to learn to grow IMO. Better to learn from other mistakes than your own, right? Thanks for stopping by and the show's not over. I'm stepping it up a notch. See full update below.

Those are CFLs - Compact Fluorescent Lights. You can find them at any Walmart. I think $14 for a pack of four. Get 42watt if you can but most Walmarts only have 26watts. That's okay because you can see that twelve 26watt bulbs not only kept my six clones alive but they grew like crazy!

You could even use reg t12 fluoro bulbs for clones, should be enough light.

Update:
I took 14 clones two days ago and they're doing their thing under their dome right now. Shall we name the big one in the middle Tetra? The mid size clones are three days into flower. I'm leaving the other original flowering plant up until Friday. Still about 25% cloudy trichs left and I'll be able to see the difference harvest time can make. I'm trying to not to smoke any of it for a little while more but I've sacrificed a couple scrubbly buds from the bottom in the name of science. The smell and taste has gone from veggie to cat piss to pine tree. Actually we're still between cat piss and pine tree but it's developing for sure. OK, time for pics. First we have the new clones, then the clones that are three days into flower, followed by the untopped mother plant, and finally a shot of the drying bud.

Yeah, until my clones root I only use two of those 26watt bulbs.

Is that big bud the size of a tennis ball can ??
Nice clones, love that last shot,ready to sell to the clubs.
