First soil grow

Medman · Jan 10, 2009

Been a hydro grower for years now. Wanted to try something different. Anyways here's the setup.

6 25 gal felt grow bags. 6 dif strains. 2 1k hps. Started the girls as clones moved em up a couple pot sizes as they grew, transplanted into the big pots 3 weeks ago. Been topping and pinching throughout life of the ladies. Here's a pic. Will update as things progress.

Hello Medman

Wonderful plants you have :aok:

How far are the lights from the plants?

How tall are you?, that is a really short ladder you have in there, is it so you can see the top of the plants?

Ive never seen a 25 gallon pot before, how much does it hold?

A nice neat and tidy set up you have

Welcome to the forum

Thanks, medman. Those are really nice, bushy plants. I love seeing healthy plants like that.

andy52 · Jan 10, 2009

very nice setup and plants.good luck

Medman · Jan 11, 2009

Thanks everyone for checking it out. Hippy in England, lights are about 3-4 ft from plants (seems to be as close as I can get without burning em), I'm 6', the ladder is just a booster to adjust light height. I put 4.5 cubic feet in the pots, after settling leaves about 4" on the top.

Can't seem to decide when I should flip em to flower, is bigger/taller gonna mean bigger yield? Right now they're a dense 2' bush. I've always just topped once or twice in the past, never bushed em out like this. Any thoughts?

once again your plants look great. You obviously can switch over when you feel like it. The more vegging is better but your plants look ripe for the 12/12 lite. hey that rhymed. anyway, I want to see these plants after about 5 weeks of flower. keep i t green

Medman · Jan 13, 2009

Thanks again ms4ms. I'll definately keep updated pics coming. I'll be switching sometime soon, still not quite sure when. Don't want to cut myself short when it comes to yield. Don't know if I have the patience to wait much longer tho...

This kinda reminds me of an outdoor grow... but indoors heh....

25 gallon pots!!! WOW.... and i finally saw the ladder and was like WOW.. OK now I get the size of things..... you need to set a 2 litre bottle in there or something to compare size.

Medman · Jan 13, 2009

Yeah I was kinda goin for that outdoor feel. After seeing old hippie's outdoor grow journal I definately wanted "trees". Next pic will have something to help compare size with in it. Notice the sleds I'm using as trays...no company makes trays big enough for these bad boys so thats the best I could find, price was right too.

Progress report

With a 1 gal jug and a 6 x 6 rockwool in frame for size comparision.

Medman · Jan 21, 2009

Just flipped for those following. Just under 4 ft from the floor, couple inches higher than above pic. The bubbleberry is especially tall even with aggresive supercroppin. Topped each one in about 20 spots on each as well. I've found topping at flip time really gets em going.

:holysheep:
now that is ideal.
:aok:

Medman · Jan 25, 2009

Thanks bluealein. I've got big hopes for this grow. Don't know what to expect.

cadlakmike1 · Jan 25, 2009

Very cool man. What are you doing about ventilation? Are you doing anything about odor control? Are they all the same strain, bubbleberry?
