Grow Mediums 385W CFL 'Think Different' DWC cab grow

[Taviddude]

As soon as the stretch stops. somewhere around week 6 for TD.
You'll notice vertical growth start taking off right around now, and then you'll see it slow down.
That's when you switch em IME.

Peace.

Thanks Tav, I think it probably has about a week and a half or so of stretching to do still.

I've increased PPM to about 620, will be monitoring it to see if it increases or drops and act accordingly! Am hoping to pick up a 400W hps before it switches to full flowering.

Also due to the smell (already quite difficult to contain) i'm going to have to move the box to our outdoor workshop which is a small detached building from the main house, its quite a bit colder in there than the house so was a bit worried about the night time temperatures. Does anyone have any experience with heaters such as this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Grow-Room..._PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&var=&hash=item2a270a9760

Or am I going to need something bit more powerful?

Anyways couple of pics, responded nicely to the LST

If you can get that 400 HPS you'll be fine as far as temperature at night. So long as you keep it in some type of enclosure, that HPS will put off PLENTY of heat.

Thanks for zee coments! I was more worried about lights off temp, but i figure if i switch the light schedule so lights are on at the coldest part of the night sould be fine.

Made a little vid as I dont think pictures do it justice!

Top flowers are starting to develop, still have it on GH's 3-2-1 feeding schedule. She's technically on about day 50 of growth although may be a little bit behind due to it taking 7-10 days for the roots to hit the water at the start, any ideas if I should start it on the transition nutes yet? or wait a bit longer?

Also there seem to be one or two small branches at the bottom of the canopy that I dont think will ever reach the top and are not as developed as other branches, do you think it would be worth cutting these off to concentrate growth on the other branches?

Good Morning or whenever Bambud,

Nice fat looking girls. Them TD's sure do like to show thier bush, those are some naughty girls.

Very creative with the reflectors. One thing about a cannabis grower. We can piss extra light, and make parts outa nothing.

I'll be taggin' along to see how things go

Talk to you later

Looking good.
Im on 43 days.

On about day 53. Ive now got it on transition nutes 1:1:1 (Micro:Grow:Bloom) at PPM of about 850 and PH at 5.8.

My 600W HPS arrived but the bulb was smashed so just waiting on that... hopefully that will add some weight onto the buds!
