Barney's Farm Glookies, Capn Style, 600 Watt HPS, Crazy Growth!

[Michael Hunt]

Man she's getting frosty! Without reading back far i'm gonna guess week 3 of flower? Congrats on reaching the end of stretch . I swear ours is still getting taller at week 4 now. How much room do you have in the top of that tent?

 

[Canadadoes]

Sure, let’s plan for next season, maybe with some Tropicana banana

We’ll be waiting! Lol

@Canadadoes There is a lot of commercial growers that are now pretty much using this method. They dont use buckets or small rockwool cubes but the concept is the same. They use the big 8x8x8 blocks of rockwool and top feed. A little different but the same amazing results. Pretty neat to see the massive grows with it.

@Michael Hunt She is around 18 days in flower! Buds should be a little bigger but I have stressed her out a lot through the stretch just trying get her the way I wanted. (will do things different next grow for sure). How much more room in the TOP???? I wished I could say I have an inch. Tied my HPS cooltube to the top support bars of the tent frame and took the yo-yos off just to get that extra 2 inches or so. Pulled all tops to the side and trained. Still have a few tops within 8 inches of the HPS...

 

[Michael Hunt]

Would have never guessed she was all that stressed. Looks plenty happy on this end. 8 inches is plenty of room, you got this!

 

[The Phantom]

8 inches is plenty

You really need to watch what you say when using the name Mike Hunt.

It's not the distance from the light, it's how you use the photons

 

[The Phantom]

The light penetration deep into the canopy is what I believe Hunter had said previously. Haha

 

[Modest Grower]

Deep penetration is crucial according to @Michael Hunt

Just wait until the banner ads around here start saying, “3 simple tricks to increase your cola length and girth.”

 

[HunterHunt]

What did I come back too?

Im use to working with a less than 8 inches so we should be good.

 

[The Phantom]

What did I come back too?

It’s like grade school all over again around here, getting busted in the library with the copy of Nat Geo because you and your buddies were giggling too much looking at the photos.

 

[HunterHunt]

Did you say girth?

 

[Modest Grower]

Did you say girth?

She girthy

 

[The Phantom]

Get out the tape measures boys!

 

[Michael Hunt]

Hehe i’ll play. Inch and a half over here

 

[Modest Grower]

Crazy looking knuckles. Do you train the plant to create those? The one above the initial topping is what made me curious.

 

[Michael Hunt]

@Modest grower not much training here, mostly genetics. im assuming you’re asking about the one with the black wire wrapped around it. That is the node that was topped. A late training accident put a split right down the center of the trunk so that wire holds her together. It was obviously a lot smaller when this happened hence the wire being so tight now.

i guess you could say this lady’s got some knuckle showing

 

[HunterHunt]

Res Change tonight! Switching over to Mega Crop TONIGHT. Gonna run it to see how she reacts.

What gram per gallon will you start at?

 

[HunterHunt]

What gram per gallon will you start at?

5.5 I guess, the chart is a little confusing. Im using millilitres to add it to my water. So im converting cups (237ml) and multiplying by the .25 it says on the chart for my 12 gallons to come out with 60ml of MC.

Im going to go by PPM any way. I will add more water or more MC until I get to around 900-1000 ppm. Will also be adding some more stuff to bring the PPM to around 1200.
