600W LED Grow

[go green]

re: GLH 600W LED Grow

I was considering doing this with mandala seeds- Hashberry (i think), and Satori. I also plan to get 8-mile high from mandala. The plan is to create an F1 from the hashberry and satori. Should be some wild stuff. I will then breed down to get the perfect little plant for my needs and environment.

Thanks to SS, and Andy for the advice on that stuff.

But yeah! Make your own shit bro...once you find something you like...get something else you like and make something you LOVE!

How fun how fun! We have time!!!

Have you thought about making your own killer strain? You know what works for you, maybe you ought to make some introductions, pistils to pollen. Playing the genetic lottery is fun and sometimes very rewarding.

i have been thinking about it for a while, just collecting all the genetics i like to breed. i need to wait until i get my new spot with more space. i have a few strains in mind so far. but it will be a while before i get to it

Hashberry X Satori

that would be one kickass hybrid

choosing the best pair would be fun

subscribed bro, very intrested how this works out. i've been searching for the best LED lights to replace my HID lighting. I almost bought some from Cammie at HGL untill i read your last jornal. i'm running out of hope, got my fingers crossed for this one.bro.

Mandala doesn't do fem seeds, so this cross would be with regular seeds and selecting one parent from each strain. Straight sex, nothing fancy .

With no males in the picture, you'd have to STS one of the girls as you mention.

Crossing the two stable Mandala strains, you would get stable F1 seeds, but if your polyploid and purple indica have not been stabilized, your results will produce F2 seeds with a lot of variation. Some might turn out to be what you're after, some might not, and some might be even better .

It's a genetic crapshoot if you cross unstable genetics, but it's a lot of fun for personal growers like us, a nightmare for commercial breeders.

he cannabis grow bible

the best breeding book i have read was THE CANNABIS GROW BIBLE 2nd Edition by Greg Green. that book has allot of great info on everything buy real good info on breeding and different genetics.

re: GLH 600W LED Grow

You may have already posted this info, but what's the size of your grow space and how many degrees more or less did the light raise your ambient temp?

hmmmmmm, must have been a long day, lol


I meant to ask how many degrees your grow room temp went up, not ambient temp, but I'm pretty sure that's how you answered it

about 8-10F* with the light on. with no exhaust fan or anything running

re: GLH 600W LED Grow

Sounds like you have more experience and knowledge with breeding than I, but if you're playing with unstable parents, shouldn't you always include taste and buzz as criteria for selection?

Wouldn't those traits also express themselves randomly even though both parents knock your socks off?

Personally speaking, I don't concern myself *too* much with potency as long as the parents are good in that department because it just means that I'll have to take three rips instead of one, but I always appreciate good aroma and flavor.

Sorry to go off-topic on your thread Irish, and we can certainly continue this discussion in PM if you wish.

thanks bro

re: GLH 600W LED Grow

ok guys today is day 22 of veg. i am going to give them a few more days and ill hit 12/12. take a look at the nodes on the Hindu Skunk, very tight and stacked. this is with the light at 26" above the top of the plants. as of right now all plants are still covered completely by the led light even with them this big. i switched my nutes due to the lack of cal/mag my older nutes had in them. you can see on my older leaves where i had a mag issue, but all new growth is coming in good once i added cal/mag plus and change my nutes.

re: GLH 600W LED Grow

Very Nice bro! What height are you going to put it at for flowering?? That is good looking for such a height, 26" you say? That's where coverage comes in, but it all will wash out in flowering. I am curious...

Keep it up brotha man!

-Go

i dont know what hight ill keep it at in flower? ill play with it once i flower and find a happy medium on penetration and covarge area. i think at even 20-25" this light can produce some good buds from looking at the penetration right now on my soil. but ill mess around with the light once the time comes, ill try to keep it as close as i can with keeping my plants fully covered with light. yes right now the lights at around 25"

Nice grow Irish Boy,

Just wondering at this stage of it all...How would ya compare it to say IF ya were using a 600W HID...? or even a 400W if ya know?

YA know in the Veg. stage and all?

re: GLH 600W LED Grow

Looking good bro.

How close are you going to have the light for flowering?

i only use 1000W HPS. i wont know how it compares until i flower

Thanks for the reply on that Irish...

no problem. i think leds veg very well. no one can say they dont. but you have to look at cost. IMO leds will need to do some good buds in order to make them worth the money to buy. after all CFL will veg good.

re: GLH 600W LED Grow

YEs you are so right about the CFLS alot cheaper than LEDs and like a bic lighter when done throw away no big deal.. and yes its YET to be seen that these LEDs can even produce the BIG, Thick Juicy Buds like the hids can and even at the same wattage cost would be like 10 plus more than hIDs Thanks waiting to see your out come on the B U D S

re: GLH 600W LED Grow

How would you do this? Would you try to grow boys and girls and pick the best male and female phenos? Or STS one? I'm faced with a small problem along this line, would like your inputs. I have a sativa dom indica mix, polypoid wildeweed with a hazy taste with large internodals, decent creeping high. I have a purple pure indica with the nodes stacked right on top of each other, never seen anything this compact, a true freak. Sedation is immediate, aromatic, different taste. No males in the picture, so I'm going to STS one of them, and use him? to knock up the other. I want this indica's short habit with the wilde growth, and taste of the mutt. Any suggestions as to who should be the surrogate mama and why? [Sorry 'bout jackin' the thread Irish Boy, I know it's fftopic: I'll move it if it's a problem].

I would vote for smoking each plant, pick the one that's best for you, and regenerate and clone, clone, clone !! I gave up on seeds, after being lied to, and the only time i will ever use seeds again is if I just get tired of what i'm doing now. I personally have failed to find a more potent strain than white widow. But you got to have the best white widow, Out of 10 seeds, one will be better than the other 9, and regeneration will preserve that forever !! For sure, with no doughts !! If anyone knows a more potent strain , plaese inform me !!
