Newb Closet Coco Grow, 400w MH+HPS

Would I be able to keep them from pollinating all my females? You know impatient us newbies are. I want some good sensi from this first batch. Not sure I would have enough room for pollen insulation
 
I would say keep them next to a window or under some cfls in another room, but security could be an issue with that; just something to think about.
 
Oh, I think I get it. If a male is kept in veg and not allowed to flower it won't release pollen. Then when I have a female I want to pollinate, I flower them together. Is that right?
 
FINALLY got my Hanna combo tester today. The grow lights are out until 5pm right now but I was able to test my pure tap water and good news. ppm 121, ph 8.11. The ph isn't that relevant because I've been adjusting it; can't wait to see how accurate that's been:roll:. But the 121 ppm, that's really good, right?

It's hard water, but it's a lot better than others have (me). Congrats on the meter.
 
WARNING: YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ AN OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT. I think all my plants are females... You guys confirmed the one, so here's pics of five more - each a different plant. The biggest ones are both the hardest to get a good pic of and the slowest to develop clear signs so I'll have those pics up probably later tonight when I pull them aside to water. Let me know what you think or if the pics aren't clear enough.

I think your right, maybe the dogs don't like males.
You know theres dogs that are trained to smell for all types of things from cancer to bombs, I was just kidding when I wrote that about your dogs,but then I started to think,maybe??
 
Man, I wish they were that gifted. But one of the two plants that were attacked is a female. The one that survived because they just ate the top is the first pic in my previous post.

Well you'll be able to see the effects of topping you strain.

Yeah, at first it grew pretty slow and scrawny. But I think it was losing energy to heal its topping wound (which was not very clean). Now it's one of the bushiest and healthiest I have. It didn't do much to keep the height down, though.
 
I just started a new bean that looks pretty damn close to the White Lady you have there. Now, I really hoping it is! I also use a 400w HPS, but my closet can't take what yours can. Just one plant at a time. I'm flowering a KALI MIST right now. She was a bitch to grow, but the end product should be fabulous! I will follow your thread. Good Luck!

Thanks, yeah I love my closet. I didn't start growing until I had lived here more than a year (make sure there weren't any intrusions from the land lord) but when I was shopping around for places, I picked this one just for that huge closet. :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
 
It's a little of both. I'm still only using about half of it. It's 6' x 6' but there's all kind of shelves and crap in the way. Just trying to manuever around in there is a pain the ass - banging my head constantly:wall:. If I had a bigger light and a better setup for draining/removing runoff I could fit twice as many plants in there.
 
So I didn't bother with the pics, too busy playing with my new toy. check it:

tap water
ph: 8.1
ppm: 121

tap water w/ vinegar and chlorine neutralizer
ph: 6.15
ppm: 131

add in my usual 7mL/gal each of A & B
ph: 6.10
ppm: 566

This seemed low so I added another 1 mL/gal
ph: 6.09
ppm: 606

Didn't want to push it so I went with that.

runoff
ph: 5.45
ppm: 553

Should I step up ppms? I remember User recommending 800 a little while ago.
