4 Strains: 630W LEC CMH

Slowpuffer said:
I remember when a man could come to 420 mag. and get answers to his or her questions. What happened to that ?? I'm trying to figure out why this 630w lec cmh light is making tricomes change to amber at only 6 weeks of 12/12 ? haven't went thru the swelling stage yet. This exact thing happened last grow. The light is all I can think of, as everything else is basicly the same as when I grew these same clones under a 400w hps, and it was an 8 week strain then !! Ha !! I just keep making posts into this journal, thinking hey, no ones here, but this will be of use to me ,to look back on. But i notice the slide on numerous other journals, people are not helping others as they did when I joined 420 mag. ?? Kinda sad !! Now people are trying to push products that don't work !! But that's ok, I'll figure this shit out, I always have !! Just a shame that others using this same light could help, but they don't !! Why ?? i know this light is out there, I wasn't the only one to purchase it ?? Maybe I was !! Ha !!

Well you know my situation so I cant help you out until I flip mine and see if I have the same problem. So how big are the buds? I see them in the pic but its hard to judge the size. I have never heard of anyone that is using these lights say that there trics are turning too soon. Seems the limited reviews have all been very good on the lights. Not giving up on the light tho. Stay in touch with my grow after the new year and we will see if I have the same problem. How about temps? I assume you have some sort of monitor that will show the high and low temps? Just a guess. I don't know if an extreme difference or too low when lights off would do this or not.

Heat, cold, or wind. Three things that could drastically change trichome color prematurely.

The reason I got that big fan blowing across the spectrum is because it get's to hot at canopy level without it, but I've never even thought that could be a problem. My intake when light is on is from open window, and It's 26 out right now. And It's 85f at canopy level using that method. I run my light at night and they sleep days. I close that window when light goes out at 8 am, and then it starts getting 70f air. It has got a little chilly in grow room a couple of days, so maybe It's not the light doing it, but the things I'm doing to control the heat ?? If I used house air at 70f, then it gets too hot in tent !! So it's dam if I do and dam if I don't !! that fan puts out a good breeze on medium ?Hope this makes some sense to someone, as I'm high as a kite right now !! Thanks for the get back Russ, cannoisseuras
and pino !!
 
Hey I'm on my second grow and and trying Bubba's gift and yours look really good. I'd be happy to get my plants that healthy. I would say make sure u check the tricomes without the lights on it changes it a little also maybe it's just a strain related problem unless u have tried other strains. Anyway awesome plants I've seen alot worst of plants on here lol

I'm not giving up on the light !! unless It just can't be used in a 4x tent, time will tell. But maybe my lights off(during days) is sometimes lower than I think up there . Got a close eye out now !! And thanks Grebs !!

Jgrowlove, I only have one bubba's gift and it's the one on the left, bottom row. As you will see, it's getting purple thru out , . The bud size is good size, but I thought they'd fill in and swell more, now I don't i'll be able to leave them grow long enough to get fat ?? And there's pineapple chunk, krippy, and blue dream in there also, and all of them are ageing to fast ??

I see now. I would test a branch and dry it for a day or two and test it to see if it's really mature.

O, I can assure you that I have tested a couple of those bottom buds., but son in law brought me bag of trainwreck today, so we'll just wait a few days now.
 
Day 43 of bloom.

I see your Rh is in the 20's. Mine is also. I was wondering if that's too low. Must be okay

20% is good in bloom mode, but 40-60 is good in veg. . I'm continually hanging wet towels in veg. tent, when it's like this !! I go thru the low rh, every winter, it comes with the cold weather in New England. Warming up for a few days, days high 30s, nitetime teens. Not bad for middle of dec. ??!!

Man thos nugs look delicious.

yes, and I'm almost out of pot !! That biggest pineapple chunk nug, almost got decapitated tonight, but I knew I was committing a sin, so it's still standing !! I was going to use the excuse that it is blocking light, and then I said dam, I can wait another few days. maybe tomorrow night ?? I just want them to swell up some more. Thanks for checking in !!
 
Well, just in case my temp is dropping to low when light is out, I've now change that tent to use house temp air during the lights off. And starting tomorrow, I'll have another tent starting 12/12 in same room, during the light off period for other tent. Going to be a mess for a few days, till i get another tent for moms, and clones, veggies. i will start a new journal for the SOG. 5 days after rec. weed was legal, and price of black market weed has already dropped to 90$ for 1/2 oz., was 150$ last week !! poor dealers will not be happy !!
 
You ever find a stash that you didn't know you had ? I was looking inside the old Victrola, and I see the corner of a qt. jar and it was 3/4 full of pineapple chunk. You want to talk about a happy campers, wife & I thought we'd hit the lottery !! I really don't know how old it is, but probably from last cycle. I been cloning the chunk for about 1 yr. now. Smooth & potent !! We been bumming from friends, as we thought we were out .
Fed tonight with Earth juice bloom, high p bat poop, molasses, all purpose 4/6/4 (down to earth) & high p seabird poop, ph-ed to 6.2. Will post pics. tomorrow night.
Going to be a high ole Xmas around my house !!
