Madmax growing with Dragons Flame Genetics

[Nesta]

Dude, killer growth in a week. Looking Max!

 

[Max]

That’s 4 days since last pic .there vigour is unreal Nesta.

 

[Max]

looking killer man gonna be some mango tennis ball fumes coming out there real soon!

yeah I can’t wait to smell that in 2-3 weeks..they are really going for it jeff..I’m impressed..these would grow Huuge outside I bet.what was the smoke like on this again..

 

[Max]

Pulling them out tonite to take off some more bottom shoots and branches and will b staking as I go .staking helps give them more room between ea other aswell as holding the branches steady.most of there big leaves are gone now.there drinking has jumped in last 3 days and are up to 3 1/2 litres ea feed...that’s a good sign the environment is working well.a couple front plants I’ve been measuring there stretch each day and are stretching an inch a day.it will b the end of 2 weeks since flip lights on tonite so say another 7-8 more inches more in growth plus a little more as the buds fill out..lights at 23” to canopy now.I will move the light back up another inch.I’ve increased day temp only slightly to 25.7 .inkbirds set at 26.0 .rh is bang on hoovering between 51-56% .lst is ave between 24-26 ..560ppm now.I’m going to hold it there for awhile as there is some darkness in a couple plants leaves..I will b switching to flower nutes tonite aswell and will keep an eye on the leaves.soon as I see a little lightness creeping in I will up the feed.giving them 50-60 ppm ea feed of cal/mag now..I might reduce it a little.my nutes do have it but last grow was a noticeable increase of general health of the plants compared to previous grows .they are prom queens not drama queens

 

[Max]

4 down,2 to go..I will do those tomorrow nite..Geez those back 2 were an absolute cluster fuck with the amount of leaves and shoots they had.defoliated then more than the front ones..had to .wasn’t much light penetrating and leaves overlapping.would b the bushiest plant I’ve had..wasn’t helping being a short ass one either..2 are just about to bud and front middle isn’t even thinking about it yet..she’s going to b a stacker when she does

 

[brettdawg]

How many times u top those max

 

[Max]

Just once bud..start of flower .you can see how much they have grown from looking at the top 2 branches..slows them just a fraction .the top 2 branches should easily double in length.you could look at my previous grows top branches to see how much they have grown..works really well in my environment.there was 2 reasons I did it.one was to have smaller buds rather than one main cola that attracted more mold spores and the other was to keep them short.my ceiling is only 2.1 metres.time you add the pot stand,pot and plant height all and keeping the light a couple ft away or so,you quickly run out of space..

Looking good mate

 

[GoodShit97]

Hell yeah bro, i really enjoy tagging along on your grows. They always come out great man.

 

[Max]

Cheers brother..my main priority from the start was the environment.then light..had to spend a shit ton on all the gear.since I bought the lumatek and growing dragonsflame genetics the quality has improved out of sight..I basically have a template I go off in feeding ,temps.amount of nutes and additives..the whole shebang and have just been tweaking it ea grow just changing one thing ea time.without these forums I’d b pretty fucked .learnt lots from you guys helping me along..thanks guys

 

[brettdawg]

Totally agree with environemnt good light genetics. Prob in thay order aswell.

 

[Max]

Done the last 2 ..one I call spidey plant .very long branches and elongation between the nodes.chopped some lower branches off..was such a waste in energy going to them that would yield buggerall..looks heaps better now I’ve staked that lanky ass bitch ..pics..oh ..I got buds on a couple .

 

[GoodShit97]

I would have to put the light first, only because without light, you are not going to accomplish much lmao.

 

[brettdawg]

True.

 

[brettdawg]

Lol

I think he means in terms of getting them dialed in.

 

[Max]

Haha..yeah well if that was the case I’d put me first cause nothings gonna happen if I don’t build the room buy all the shit,feed them and purchase good genetics and everything else

yeah thats it man….there was heaps more to buy to get it running well and dialing it in as you said.dehuey.heater.inkbirds.fans.extraction fans.ir gun etc.building and insulating the room cost a fair wack .without insulating the outside shed I’d b struggling big time,specially with running a led..

 

[Max]

Christ o mighty.I think I will have to change my fans out every 4months or so..I can’t afford to burn my shed down and fuck knows what else…geez this is the second one that’s done it .maybe I should start a thread on fans .I knew something was burning but couldn’t see it but noticed smoke coming from itI think all the oscillating busts the wire Insideas it starts and stops.will show this vid to the grow shop mon and hopefully the company takes notice when they show them the vid.

Bro i know all about it. I had 2 mars hydro lights catch fire, as well as a 6 inch fan.
Well 1 light melted 1 light actually caught on fire i got lucky man. The fan did what yours is doing. Wicked lucky.

 

[Max]

Faark..really.I think we need to get a lotto ticket .go halves lol..

 

[GoodShit97]

Faark..really.I think we need to get a lotto ticket .go halves lol..

Right, i wasnt home when the one light caught fire, so im not sure what put it out. Power was still going through it because the other panel was still on. Someone was looking out for my house for sure

Maybe the fire fried the driver and stopped the power to it?

 

[Max]

You can customize a fire extinguisher to go off automatically by replacing the squeeze trigger head with an overhead fire sprinkler head. Once the temp reaches a a certain temperature the glas will break and release extinguisher powder.

@Bandit420 has this same type of system in his tent. We had a discussion on this a while back. Look for the thread although it might be in Bandits thread.

I bought a 9" oscillating fan from Honeywell called the Turbo Force fan. If it's anywhere near as reliable as the stationary fan it should last a while. I like the build quality of the Honeywells.

That’s good to know @Rootsruler .. Was at the grow shop today and they had like a bbq gas cylinder type in there with a sprinkler on it for 155bucks.i reckon I was about a ft deep so if I bought something like that or the extinguisher you mentioned I’d have to put to the side..I think they are more suited instead of those balls..I know they work but my rooms too big for it to extinguish it completely if a fire got underway…I’m actually surprised the switch in meter box didn’t trip so it hadn’t short circuited yet.

the fan you have looks well built.that would b more than adequate to run in. 5x5.b even better if it had a pole attachment..I bought another today a 6‘hyaline I think (fan size) and he hasn’t had one returned ..we will see lol.has 12 months warranty.

 

[GoodShit97]

the fan you have looks well built.

I had that same honeywell vortek fan for 2 years without ANY issues. Then one day it stopped oscillating so i threw it away and got a 12" desk fan from the Dollar General for 10 or 12 bucks.

 

[Max]

2 yrs not bad though..I’m battling to get to 6 months lol.they are sick of me bringing it back..I told them ..we’ll stop buying shit then and you won’t see me..

was the one from dollar general a steel one..
