[servinbeats]

​

Whats up all!!

Wanted to document my first run using DOUBLE ENDED (DE) bulbs.
Now keep in mind that I am still somewhat a newb as well, but have some great help and guidance. So, hopefully things will go smoothly without too many hitches.

Info....

2x 1000W DE bulbs/wing reflectors

2 BBW'S (been in veg for over 6months) MOBB BOSS / SOUR SAGE

10X12 room

Nutes - GH 3part / calmag / Ancient Earth

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This thread will truly be real time and I hope to provide weekly updates at the least.

I am going about this with the goal of GROWING SOME KICK ASS POT!!! I would appreciate any and all feedback, and hope that you stay with me for the duration of the grow. As I type here now, we are about 1-2 days from going 12-12.
Here are some pictures to catch you up a bit

Enjoy!

I've considered de bulbs and only last night noted in my journal that I feel poorly designed hangers leave certain areas of grows lacking in size compared to only a few inches away! I'm interested in seeing if the DE helps this would love to see pics of your set up ?

I added a vertical cfl to what I consider my lacking side!
Also 6MONTHS lol wow

Hi servinbeats,

Welcome to the 420 community of members.

I have to confess to being drawn to the 6 month veg time like Cdogg. Was the long veg time intentional?

Be well and happy growing!

I have pictures, but cannot figure out how to upload. Can't seem to do it on phone or PC...

 

[servinbeats]

Ok, think I got the upload down.... Here are the pics up to date.

Still kind of a newbie so personally do not have preference one way or another. They were just offered to me to try out these DE's.

Next step...Bring the ladies in to get them used to the new home.

I have almost the identical walls in my rooms! Mine are jacked up to the rafters with all-thread to keep them tight though.

Watching!

Tomorrow Ill finish the room and hopefully flip em!!

 

[servinbeats]

Gonna finish the room today..Will update pictures in a few hours..

Ok, got the plastic up and am now on 12-12. Temp seems to be ok (for now) still need to install exhaust fan. Will have that on a thermostat. Here are a few more pictures. They seem to be perking up from all the abuse the last week or so...

 

[servinbeats]

You da man TanR...I was referring to numerous questions/comments sent the other day as I was browsing the journals. All I heard was crickets

Changed the reservoirs today. Added micro organisms along with the GH,CalMag,and Ancient Earth. You can see some roots poking out the pots, and the tops are pointing straight up. They must be happy
