I'm guessing the white rhino is from Green House Seeds? Have you flowered this strain previously or is this a first run?

yup. from green house seeds! bought at the headshop in my town.

this exact package, wife got them for me as one of my presents for my b-day. 5 pack for $50.




it is my first time growing this strain. and this strain happens to be my favorite type of weed so I am pretty psyched.

if you wanted you can go back through the thread and follow my 2 outdoor grows from this year. I got an ounce off of my Hawaiian Snow plant. but it was only 2.5 ft tall. and the other was 6ft tall but went male and I killed him with the quickness haha.

I don't know how I missed this thread. What strains you guys getting? I just put an order in for some Sunset Sherbet for evening relaxation or if my back is acting up and some Green Crack for the morning time focus. Just have a one hitter chameleon pipe in a stash box because I'm not a full blown stoner lol. I'm not in a MM state and our weed here is terrible, so I get mine from cali off the darknet

I've been a So Cal med patient for several years.
I was considering a grow tent with a 600w hps for flower and t-5 for veg. Coco coir for the medium and Canna Coco nutes.
T5 works amazing for veg. Why only 600 watts? If you can cool it, i strongly recommend a 1000 watt HPS for flower. you will always be left wondering if it would make a difference. Yes it will. Where around Socal you at? I got a whole fucking garden room for sale lol. Also in a tent you will need a protable AC to pump cold air in. If no cooling fan in the world will keep that tent under 100 degrees even with just a 600. Psychotropic Wanderlust @RJJH is onto something with the LED lighting. Heat is a killer. 2 biggest electricity users are lights and the AC in my grow room. With LED's there is no heat to cool. Im just not 100% sold on them. Im at like 80%. Lol

I might just convert a closet(6x10) which would help some with the heat and vent into the attic.
I'm not against using 1000's,just figured 600's would help with heat and the electric bill.
The pricing on the LED's need to come down,way too expensive.

I'm in Riverside County/Inland Empire,not the most friendly county for growers from what I've read. I'm curious to see what happens when ab266 goes live.

Oh buddy, does this seem like a walk down memory lane. Before you know it you will out grow that closet and be renting a second house for your grow. Im kidding, well kibd of. At least thats what happened to me.


I know the LED lights are expensive but unless you have adequate AC for a HPS light, whether its a 600, or a 1000 you will be wasting your time. Im sorry, I know you dont want to hear that. Any HPS or MH ballast and light puts off so much heat, this will destroy your crop. Even putting the ballast outside the room wont save you. If you dont spend the money on the LED light right now, you will spend the same amount of money for the electricity needed to cool the closet and light it up, every month. Closets dont work that well. Even if you cut a whole in the ceiling and install an attic fan. HPS puts off ridiculous heat. I have been through all the bumps and bruises with this process.

I was hoping an air cooled hood attached to a Vortex fan would keep the temps within acceptable limits.
Would installing a mini-split for 2 600's be overkill?
Thanks for the advice,by the way. It's appreciated.

you guys keep saying LED is expensive. its 2015. my 300w LED was $80. and you see the results in this thread.
Damn,you're right. I haven't checked LED prices for a while. Just saw a 600w for $450.

No. I ran 6 inch vortex fan on a charcoal filter through three hoods at one point. I still needed a AC. It will drop the temp of the room significantly but the temp right under the hoods will be way to high. I learned all this the hard way. George Cervantes wrote




Everyone planning to grow pot should read this. He really wrote the "how to grow pot" book. If I were to write one it would be called "how not to grow pot". It would consist of all my mistakes. If you made sure not to do everything wrong that i did, your shit should be primo lol.

It took me a long time to grow quality weed, consistently. Thats the hard part. There is much more info available now than whe I started. I miss it alot.

I failed at growing for a long time until I decide to really educate myself. I went to Vancouver and immersed myself in the industry back before the internet was invented lol.

now I feel old. but I am a good grower haha.

Got some of this Sunset Sherbet on order, should be about week to get in. I liked girl scout cookie and apparently this is a better version of that....

I really hope Louisiana is the next to change the prohibition laws. I would love to have my own grow box. I don't smoke a lot, so a single plant would be sufficient for me.

Today, I will not be taking part in my daily ritual. Its 7:44 am and about the time for my first dab session. It has been years since I have gone without, for a single day. I will not use any canibus product until tomorrow.

If anyone is thinking of taking up growing or needs info this is your bible, everything you could ever need on one forum..

International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - powered by weed

In other news I just got some 99.9% pure silver, I'm gonna make a colloidal silver generator tomorrow. From then on it's home made fem seed forever. I'll make a photo log of how it's done...

What you need is three Auto flowering plants spaced 4 weeks apart so you get one a month. ;) Also Louisiana is warm year round right? That means outdoor is an option if you can hide a 2 foot plant somewhere you're good.
