[9x Killing Fields F3+ 1x Critical Jack Auto 10x Heavy Duty Fruity 1x Pineapple Punch] 400w HPS

Hey everyone, Started my next grow already (man this shit is addictive lol) 10x Killing Fields f3 (unsexed) from sannies and 2x Dinafem Critical Jack Auto's.
Sannies must use some great genetics. Long roots after 24hrs in wet paper towels! Even more surprising is more than half of them have broken the coco's surface in another 24hrs.
I've learnt from my last grow and will not veg these plants as long. Chemdogs got way too big, couldn't support the weight of the buds, and had nearly nothing under the main canopy. Also got my first power bill since growing. $300 rise for the quarter lol
Some pics:
The little sprout in the white cup is a Critical Jack Auto which I germed a few days earlier. Its little sister is much slower though. A tiny root did come out but after a few days no growth. I planted her in a cup of coco and am hoping for the best.
Haven't got any pics of the new sprouts yet, but will update as exciting things happen.
I got my hands on a 250w Blue CFL for veg. But as I was screwing it into the socket, it broke! $112 down the drain! Made in China piece of crap, lol, so i'll be sticking with the MH for the whole grow again. At least I have the lamp holder and reflector which I can use when it cools enough for me to stop using the cooltube.
Any comments, tips, feedback and criticism is welcome as always.
Cheers MagickZ

Are you really complaining about buds being so big you have to support your plant?? All my buds need support man. That's not uncommon at all. Just use bamaboo sticks and zip ties from your grow store and home depot to hold them up.
Well, you really should use HPS for your flowering bulb. If you only have a MH ballast you should buy a conversion bulb. It will be worth the cost. You end up with a lot less weight flowering under MH.

Oops, my mistake. I meant my whole grow is being done under HPS again. Not MH. Sorry for the brainfart, lols
And Hawksapprentice: I have no issue with the plant needing support. My main gripe is that under the main canopy, there was not much worth saving. I did keep them, but in my opinion they werent worth manicuring lol, Big for nothing IMO lols. I wanna try SOG growing this time. So I can keep em small, and they should be nearly all bud, right?
I'm gonna take clones of each plant (bar the auto's) and add them to my grow when they are ready. Hoping for a nice harvest this time. I'm aiming at a minimum of 5oz dry.
My last grow is still drying but I dont think ill get more than two Hoping for better luck this time, smile upon me please, weed gods

This time, I would like to build a top drip run to waste system. Its the systems recommended to me by users on 3 different forums. Anyways, I cannot find many DIY plans on these systems. Anybody got a link or some info? Is it as easy as setting up a top drip system? Then just discarding the water that runs through? It really can't be that easy can it? I'm hoping so, haha

I literally just read Sannie's own grow log (here) with KF and Shakzilla under one of those new Gravita 1000w 400v HPS lights. Impressive lights, but the strains! Killing Fields makes some awesomely huge sativa buds, 2 phenos were very purple and one was way green and a bit fluffier. I can't wait to see what you get from them.

Thanks. I read that the green phenos are extremely potent, so hoping for more of those, but even if I don't get any, the purple ones are so beautiful! And still a good smoke.
Anyone here grown/smoked KF b4?

Watered for the first time today with PH adjusted water. Removed 1x Critical Jack Auto (did not germ) and 1x Killing Fields (destroyed by rough handling, lol)
So I now have 1x Critical Jack Auto (in white cup), and 9x Killing Fields F3

Today it just occurred to me that my grow is all sativa at the moment. Need to add some indica to the mix. So I popped 10x Heavy Duty Fruity by TH Seeds, plus 1x Pineapple Chunk by Barneys Farm that I got from attitude as a freebie.
Other than that I havent got much to report. Plants are staying nice and short this time as I have em pretty close to the lights. I just smoked a J of the chemdogs I just harvested and I am so ripped lol

I prefer sativa (for smoking), but a good indica just hits the spot sometimes.

I've never tried a sativa before to my knowledge, which is why I'm growing it. I've tried indica which helps me sleep, I guess sativa would be good for a daytime smoke?

Ahhh, I want a sativa just so I can smoke it when I go jogging at 2AM in the morning... sounds heavenly
Are you controlling the airflow in your grow spot? May I see a farther away shot of your setup? Looks like a fun grow, I've never seen a dixie cup grow... excited!

Yeah I've got a 6" centrifugal fan as exhaust connected to cooltube and mountain air carbon filter. Also got a high velocity fan on low setting directly on the plants. I'll take/find some photos of my setup for you. The coffee cups are temporary only. When they get a little bigger I'll be transplanting them. Hopefully I'll have enough cash to setup a top drip system when the time comes.
-=edit=- found a pic of my old grow which shows the setup a little better

Ok Gang, I pulled the 21 plants out today for photos and watering. Will up the photos later tonight when I have more time.
The Killing Fields were yellow pretty much from the start, so today I started them on nutes. Looks like N deficiency, so that should hopefully fix em up.
Also, I cannot believe my most expensive seeds has put out a large number of retards!!!! T.H Seeds: Heavy Duty Fruity. Cost me $210 to have 20 seeds delivered. I have given away and traded 10 of them, but of the 10 I planted, I think I have about 4 retards!!!!! The other 6 though are much larger and healthier looking than the tiny yellow KF seedlings. Due to my impatience and hastiness, some of the seeds spent an extra 2 days in paper towel before transplanting to the coco cups. Could that be a factor in the mutations? Somebody was supposed to pay me back a loan i made to them but they let me down. So those seeds spent an extra 2 days in the paper towels until i could buy some coco.
It would be good if someone knows if that was a major factor in their mutations, so i learn not to do it again, haha

Here are pics from yesterday as promised. Took a couple shots of the retards. I figured I'll grow em a little longer to see how they develop.

In case anyone is still watching, lols, i have an update.
Switched to flowering this week. Have only transplanted the Critical Jack Auto so far. Will Upgrade the pots of the others in the next few days. Plants are steadily growing
Using Nutrifield Coco Nutes a+b @0.9ec And gave them their first dose of alaskan kelp today.
The Critical Jack Auto. Pushing out pistils and I think I can see trichomes already! The smoke from the last one i grew was devastating, lols, though I am a lightweight, few puffs from a joint is all i need. Joints of critical jack auto, I struggle to cope with only 3 drags lols Its a pity I only had 2 of these seeds and even more so that only 1 sprouted!
Killing Fields F3 Lost a couple KF's They dried out quicker than the others. I tried watering em but they were too far gone, I hope they were the males lol
Heavy Duty Fruitys Lost a couple of these ones also due to dehydration.
The retard in the front is a Pineapple Chunk freebie I got from attitude. Too bad, was looking forward to this one, I wonder what kinda buds if any this retard will produce?
