SHIVA SKUNK (By Cannabis Professionals)

Hey GuySmiley, love following your progress, learning much as it goes. Seeing that for vegging you use 6000 to 8000 lumens( saw that mogul socket @easyhydrolyte), I wonder what the max is the plants would use. I am using 250W MH and HPS setups from PFO Lightings with American Pride hoods. The HPS produces between 29000 and 26000 lumens and the MH 22000 to 17500. That also produces more heat and I don't know yet the minumum distance to miantain save temps. B1

 

Depending on how you cool the bulbs, you can get the lights within 5" of the canopies with no problem of burning. My lights are about 5 " above my plants.

 

Not doing anything to cool the bulbs. Should I? I have a window ac unit in the room. Running the fan (when the room temp is too low for ac) would do that? Other suggestions? Thanks.

Adding a second question to this post a few hours later: are you saying in your earlier post about the ezyhydrolight that this one light set-up will take, like 6 plants, all the way thru the vegetative growth stage? and I can, thereafter, move them into my other room and let the flowering take place under the MH&HPS set-up? Still being new to indoor stuff, want to be sure I get it right.

G'Mornin! Hey GuySmiley! Low Stress Training! -I fukin love it! -I didnt know what LST was till I read it in one of your posts! I do the same thing but in flower and I been callin it STROG flowerin. -Instead of a sea of green(sog) or a screen of green(scrog), I do a string of green(strog)! --Only diferance is,-I do all my tie'in in the flower room. -Excelent teck! -Ive only used it in the flower room but Ive been see'in that most folks use these teckneeks in veg. -Verry nice Brudda !

 

Thank you... They are really starting to get big now. They are popping pistils everywhere and looking good. i will see alot of bud from these girls. They have a very large calyx to leaf ratio...;

 

---Thats what I like!! -A heavy calyx to leaf ratio . -I like it when the individual calyx's pick off the bud like grapes!

 

I will see lots of colas from these girls...:

 

No comments? Good or bad?

 

Looking absolutely marvelous GS,I look forward to the day when you get more space to do more as do you I am sure of!

 

Some day when I live in a more rural setting, I would LOVE to have a nice 12 x12 room with 4000 watts going to get some good yeild. I would like to only have to grow twice a year to support my needs. I smoke an oz a week now, so I have to keep the grows continuous. Thank you for the kind words......I am going to send you A SAMPLE OF THIS WHEN IT'S FINISHED. Ooops, the letters got big......sorry.

 

Just one of the MANY budsites starting to form...:

 

7 - 9 colas per plant? -Nice! -Do ya tie alot in the first 2 weeks of flower also or dose the tying end after veg?

 

I don't do very much tying in flower. I will release the ties around their 6th week of flowering.

 

Hey GS very nice indeed. Trying to compare these with mine and see how well they stay in step. Would you mind posting the date you planted them/ Thanx b1

 

They broke soil on Nov.15th......

 

Hey GS, that nearly 3 wks before my SugarShacks. That's impressive!
Now about the tying: at what age do you start and what do you tie? Surely not the big fan leaves but the stem carrying the preflower structures that emerges at the same spot as the big fan leave, just above it, right? That's how I have it in the picture right now. I did only two, how many at the time. Thanks for following me up on this tread. b1

 

I started to train them around their second week of vegging. Your ties look fine. You can tie it down an much as you want, I would suggest training for an even canopy.

 

I will see many good sized colas from these two girls. You can see my clones in the bottom left hand corner. I am water cloning, this method takes longer to show roots (15-21 days). It is damn near 100% effective.


The trunks are thicker than wine corks. How the hell did that old hippy get under my tree? He must be hanging out with froggy sampling the cuisine?

 

--Hey Howdy Folks! Really SWEET GS/MP! B1.. -I hope your gettin the top down under the lats! -It just kinda looked like you were just tyin down the lats and lettin the top go, get that top down and youl get better lats!

 

Hell yea.. -I just went back and looked and you gotta get your top down. -It looks like your just tyin lats and lettin the top go. -That aint what you wanna do.... -You wanna let them go and tye your top down. -If it aint too late allready, try slowley pullin your top down so that your stem lays horizontally. -This will send out hormones that tell the lats to grow and thats how you get the even canope, by tyin down the terminal top first and forcing the lats to grow out. -After that you may have to start tying down lats but not till after you tyied your top down . -Waddaya think GS?
