Okie Trae's Garage Grow round 3 - CMH Edition

@dequilo my friend, hope all is well!. Yes plants are coming along nicely, though I’m down to 9 females. Jinxproof sold me 16 herms. Bummer.

We have buds at the end of week 1. Gave them heavy doses of potassium and they didn’t die! Pulled out more jinxproof herms. So disappointed, but I have 9 healthy females who are pretty thick. Gabe them a defoliation and supercropping. I popped every node good and hard. Bent em over and tied em up. They love that kinky stuff right @dequilo ? The more you give it to em the sweeter the fruits they bless us with.

Going to turn the rest of my 315s with 3k bulbs at the 500ws growspace. Give it all I got for 9 plants. I need some weight. Will definitely be adding clones as I go. Gonna keep a Perpetual clone flower going I guess. No veg just bloom.

My hempys are drinking drinking. The plant I have in the tan 4 gal bottom feed is absolutely drinking. It’s getting tons of o2 in that water, roots everywhere. I have to refill that sucker daily. I might need to work a little on my vpd but honestly I am not to worried. Everything moving full steam ahead, healthy and growing with vigor. Wonder when you guys cut out silica? My plants have nice trunks, but are only stiff at the trunk. Im still able to supercrop and lst with ease. Nice juice cracks when I squeeze. Almost brings a tear of happiness to my eye @dequilo . These 9 ladies are getting 1445watts of 3k and 4k cmh. Would like to add a few more teen clones if I can the strains I want. Im actually thinking about keeping a perp from buying clones. Sounds stupid but I don’t have time to care for mothers, a grow, and a full time job.

From what I’ve been told silica is not needed in late flower most beneficial in early veg . I drop silica about week 5 of flower not sure how right it is plants don’t seem to complain .

some of the banana mac are stretchers, and i mean crazy stretchers… kinda wish i would have kept an hps for situations like them… kill that stretch, but 9 plants under 1445watts of cmh should be okay… i should be able to pull off some decent bud density.

Don’t mind me guys, just dropping some beautiful baby bud footage.

these are a couple from banana mac

Buds everywhere! Anyone have experience growing under cmh? This was my first full cmh run veg through flower. Last run was hps cmh. Last flower I only had 3 315s for 945w. I have since added the 500w master pursuit and will be adding a 630 soon God willing. I noticed my pinkleberry last run was a bit fluffy. Its typically an outdoor strain bred for outdoor. Hoping to help the fluff problem with the 500 but a 630 would make a huge diff. Whats everyone’s experience? I want some hard bud

I think I’ll stick around for the answer to that figured had alot more to do with genetics but lights could play a roll depending on the genetics. Good looking plants also!

Thanks man, I agree it does have alot to do with genetics. GreenSource gardens bred the pinkleberry strictly for out door. I messaged them for info on the strain and he said he didnt have any info for indoors, never tried it lol. I know intensity matters as well, thats why de hps is king and will remain king. I know leds are close but i dont think de hps is going anywhere for a while. I am trying to in the end wind up with about 3000 watts of cmh for the entire room. 2 630s will do it. just cant afford to get them both at the same time… really wish their was a craigslist for growers to buy sale and trade equipment… I think i have a buddy with a 1k digital hps ballast. I still have a hood, would just need a bulb.

See that’s my problem I don’t know enough about lights to know what to pick but I can do some simple math and figure a led out! Lol someone had told me that the pinkleberry is better outdoors and that they tried indoors but it just didn’t get the colors it did outdoors.

i got all the insane colors indoor just some fluff bud on the green pink blue pheno… my dark pheno was legendary… ill post some photos right quick

I’m all about trying new stuff each time but if thous hit as good as they look, I would have no choice but to clone it!
